Press Release:
SAN FRANCISCO, Mar 03, 2008 -- According to the American Film Institute, he's the greatest action-adventure hero of all time - and his unforgettable exploits can be relished by fans old and new as never before when all three INDIANA JONES movies debut as individual Special Edition DVDs and in an all-new box set on May 13.
Released by Lucasfilm Ltd. and Paramount Home Entertainment, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Special Edition DVDs boast all-new, exclusive bonus features that dig deeper into the making of these cinematic milestones than ever before. All three were originally restored and remastered in 2003. Created with fans of all ages in mind, the bonus features provide never-before-seen explorations of the making of these classic movies and showcase the characters, action and extraordinary visual effects that have made the movies indelible cinematic treasures.
Each film makes its DVD debut just days before the highly anticipated return of the "Man in the Hat" in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
"An entire generation of movie lovers will get to see these classic films in a digital format that makes them even more amazing than when they were first in theaters," said Howard Roffman, Vice President of Lucasfilm Ltd. "These new, individual DVDs are a fantastic way to introduce young audiences to the unforgettable, action-packed adventures of the most daring archaeologist in the world."
Directed by Steven Spielberg from stories by executive producer George Lucas, the three INDIANA JONES movies earned six Academy Awards(R) and nearly $1.2 billion worldwide. From the groundbreaking excitement of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) to the sinister mysteries of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) and the father-son adventure of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), the heroic Dr. Jones continues to delight audiences with his thrilling on-screen exploits.
Previously available only in a trilogy box set, the three films of THE ADVENTURES OF INDIANA JONES, were restored and remastered to deliver an exceptional viewing experience to existing enthusiasts and a whole new generation of fans. All-new bonus content delves into the making of the legendary series as the filmmakers and cast look back and a new world of adventure opens up with Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and others offering hints about what to expect in the newest installment.

Freakin' Lucas keeps cashing in on the same movies over and over again. I have three sets of the original Star Wars Trilogy because of that bast***, lol. You know that after he makes bunches and bunches of money he will release the Blu Ray version. I already have the VHS and DVD trilogy of Indy. I'm not falling for his "extra features" mumbo jumbo. When he releases Hi Def that will be a different story since they are beautifully remastered. For now, my DVDs look awesome upconverted. Hard to believe that the first movie is that old when it looks that good.

Agreed. I find it extremely hard to believe there won't be day and date Blu Ray releases of these. The only possible way it makes sense is if all four films are coming to hi def around Christmas. These movies on BD would be HUGE sellers unless I miss my guess.

Extras not worth it, specially because of no commentary...

Spielberg has never done a commentary, so I don't expect one from him on any release, even something like Schindler's List.

Paramount will release the new Indiana Jones movie on May 22. It only makes sense for them to capitalize on that opening by re-releasing the previous three movies for the first time individually.
However, since they have not announced any Blu-ray titles yet and probably aren't sure when they will announce them, we'll have to wait and see when the Indy films come to BD. Surely, they will come, though, if at the latest about the time Paramount release the newest Indy film to DVD, probably in the fall.

Yup, I totally agree...Lucas is a greedy bastard. He IS however a smart businessman, even if he isn't consumer friendly. I refuse to buy any of his boxsets until they are out on HD.
The guy is such an ass, he'll probably wait until Blu Ray is being replaced by some other future format before he releases in HD. I remember DVD was out for YEARS and he was still putting out crap VHS Star Wars box sets instead of DVD.

Exactly Bosshog, he rereleased vhs versions for so long that we had to wait forever for the dvds. I love his movies but his money making milking mayhem has to end. Hes pillaging his fan's wallets. Yes, I do understand that its smart business but come on!! Make the HD disks while the format is still around, lol.
