Movies - Movie News

The coming months will see not only the theatrical release of Steven Spielberg's Lincoln (check out the first official look at Daniel Day-Lewis as the Great Emancipator right here), but also gussied up Blu-ray releases for some of Spielberg's classic films.  First we've got Jaws, followed by E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, and finally, all four movies starring Harrison Ford as Dr. Henry Jones Jr, professor of archeology, ladies' man, ass-kicker, expert on the occult and obtainer of rare antiquities.

Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures collects Raiders of the Lost Ark through Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and as of today, we have a full list of the extensive special features that will accompany these four movies.  Lucasfilm and Paramount announced the full list today.  Unsurprisingly, the commentary-averse Spielberg doesn't contribute a commentary track to the five-disc set, but there are making-of documentaries for each movie on the bonus disc.  There's also an entirely new doc focused purely on Raiders of the Lost Ark.

The set was first announced in June, and a trailer followed last month, but this is the first word on what will be included.  Like the exceedingly successful Star Wars Blu-ray release, there's no option to purchase single installments here; you have to go in for the whole franchise.  Right now you can preorder Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures on Amazon for $68.99, marked down from a retail price of $99.99, and have it when it streets on September 18th.

Here's the full announcement, including the list of special features:

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (August 7, 2012) – Every unforgettable exploit of world-renowned, globetrotting hero Indiana Jones finally comes home with pristine picture and sound when INDIANA JONES: The Complete Adventures debuts on Blu-ray September 18, 2012 from Lucasfilm Ltd. and Paramount Home Media Distribution. The cinematic classic that started it all—Raiders of the Lost Ark—has been meticulously restored under the supervision of director Steven Spielberg and sound designer Ben Burtt.  Additionally, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade have both been remastered alongside 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull making this landmark release the first time all four films in the epic and award-winning franchise have been available together in sparkling high definition. INDIANA JONES: The Complete Adventures will also be available on iTunes, so the adventure is just a click away!

In addition to all of Indy’s thrilling adventures, the set includes seven hours of fascinating documentaries, featurettes and interviews with cast members and filmmakers.  This comprehensive collection of behind-the-scenes bonus features is augmented by a brand new two-part documentary entitled “On Set with Raiders of the Lost Ark – From Jungle to Desert and From Adventure to Legend.”  Featuring nearly an hour of rarely seen footage from the set of the film and archival interviews with Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Harrison Ford, these captivating pieces transports fans back to where the legend began.

Raiders of the Lost Ark has been painstakingly restored with careful attention to preserving the original look, sound and feel of the iconic film.  The original negative was scanned at 4K and then examined frame-by-frame so that any damage could be repaired.  The sound design was similarly preserved using Burtt’s original master mix, which had been archived and unused since 1981.  New stereo surrounds were created using the original  music tracks and original effects recorded in stereo but used previously only in mono.  In addition, the sub bass was redone entirely up to modern specifications and care was taken to improve dialogue and correct small technical flaws to create the most complete and highest quality version of the sound possible while retaining the director’s vision.
