This is not exactly Star Wars news, but if you are a fan of George
Lucas movies, then you may be interested in the latest news. There
has been a lot of speculation in the last few days about the Indiana
Jones series coming to DVD. The
Official Star Wars Site has made an official announcement to
this fact!
The world's favorite action-adventure hero is coming to DVD this
November in a four-disc set that includes the digitally restored and
re-mastered classic Indiana Jones trilogy as well as hours of
bonus materials.
On November 4th, Lucasfilm Ltd. and Paramount Home Entertainment
will release The Adventures of Indiana Jones -- The Complete
Movie DVD Collection. Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana
Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last
Crusade have all been meticulously restored by Lowry Digital
Images to meet the exacting THX standards of quality, and include a
new Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack. All three films are
close-captioned and subtitled in English, French and Spanish in the
U.S.
The fourth disc of supplemental material includes new interviews
with Indy's creators, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and
Harrison Ford; a look at the making of the films; recently unearthed
archival material and a spotlight on the real world history behind
Indy's fictional globe-trotting adventures. Including the films,
this set offers more than 10 hours of Indy entertainment.
Though a final suggested retail price has yet to be announced,
the four-disc set is expected to be available for about $49.95 in
the U.S. The set will be available in both widescreen and full
screen formats.
