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® 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.

No Blu-Ray Release? (heck i'm surprised they didn't knock it off on HD DVD by now)

Why surprised? It almost took them a decade to get the trilogy out on to standard DVD.

Well....here we go.
I was wondering when they were going to bust these out. The '03 set is still readily available at the moment and will be a far better value than these releases. Will they be getting pulled soon?
I'll just hold off for the eventual Blu version box with all four films in it.

Waiting for the high-def release. I got the fullscreen box set on accident for Christmas a few years ago, so I've been wanting to re-buy in widescreen but I figure I'll wait for the Blu. Probably this fall when Crystal Skull comes out, they'll be out.
Not surprised at all by the news...Not worth the rebuy "New bonus material" seems very weak--I'll pass thanks
Gee I wonder if they will release one when the DVD to Kingdom of Skulls comes out too...Definitely a pass.
Yup I too already own the box trilogy. Ohh yeah am sure by next year or in two more years we will see a High Def edition of Kingdom of Skulls on Blu-ray from Paramount, thats a no brainer. Afterwards they need to release all 3 films on their HD form.
I have doubts that any of the Indiana Jones films will get a highdef release. It was reported on Friday that Spielberg is NOT releasing the latest film to digital theaters. They will have to be able to run the film old-school if they want to show it.
I love these movies but I have the previous release and won't doubledip until we get an HD release. (HD as in blu-ray... I tend to say HD for either.)

The Indy movies will definitely be released in Blu-ray. Spielberg loves Blu-ray (I hear the Paramount is putting together exclusive Blu-ray material for "Crystal Skull" now), and he personally chose "Close Encounters" to be his first film to get the HD treatment.
It seems very odd that Spielberg hasn't made his previous films (like "Munich" or "War of the Worlds" ) be shown exclusively in 35mm -- weren't those films shown in digital projection for theaters who had them? It seems stupid of Spielberg to do that for "Crystal Skull", as it is shot on 35mm and the digital projection technology would made it look gloriously film-like and pristine (without being worn down with dirt and scratch accumulation over multiple showings) without losing the graininess of film.
Or maybe he's afraid of the digital projection copies being more prone to being stolen.

So what exactly is different on these releases that we don't already have with the box set?
Blu-Ray four disc box set, christmas probably. They need something to push this format, oh and Lucas needs to get those Star Wars films on Blu pronto, maybe a PS3 with HD Star Wars bundle or this format could go tits up.
Yeah, I'll pass on this...I have the previous release, so no need to double dip these...I'll wait for the blu-ray release...
Apparently THX is already prepping the Blu-ray certification for Kingdom of the Crystal Skull; read that somewhere within all of the CES 2008 coverage floating around the net. A Blu-ray boxed set later this year with all four films would be very nice, but if not a boxed set then having the new film in hi-def will be good enough for now.
As for these discs, not much added and it looks like they're leaving out most of the features from the fourth bonus disc of the 2003 set. Meh.

Well, the good news is: there isn't going to be an artificial CGI insert in the films (thank you, Steven!)
Still - no thanks. The 2003 set is fine by me. The print is still great looking, and sounds just as good as when it was released. And the making-of is as in-depth as you can possibly imagine. If Spielberg does something with this, like the Close Encounters 30th set - with multiple cuts and all - then I will double dip. But I see this as pointless as the Jurassic Park/Jaws re-issue. And do I even have to mention LUCAS!
A better print of 1941 on DVD, a SE of Hook/Always/Sugarland/Duel would be nice...oh...and AMBLIN' and some of his shorts from his early days would be VERY NICE.

I will say in defense of the JAWS re-release is that the excellent Laurent Bouzereau documentary "The Making of Jaws" is restored here to it's full 2-hour length from the truncated 1-hour version on the previous release, which made the double-dip worth it. To me anyway.

I saw it as a pointless double dip, for, on TV (TBS/TNT), you have the deleted scenes inserted into the movie. Those deleted scenes are top notch. Yet, we don't get an extended cut on DVD...just those deleted scenes, onto the side.
That's why I see this as a double dip. They could've also added the True Hollywood Story...

You know, I just don't need Temple of Doom and Last Crusade on Blu-Ray. I'm hoping they do this single release thing with the eventual high def set.
Lucasfilm milking again. It's a shame. They could do much more with these releases. Maybe, a year or so after the new film first arrives on DVD (this fall, I imagine), they'll put together a big box set.
Sucks that there's still no deleted scenes, but since I didn't get the movies on DVD yet, I will probably get this set.
I just read an article in the paper about how DVD sales have slipped in the last year. It was mostly blaming digital copies, iTunes, and cable On-Demand. This is the true reason DVD sales have slipped: The constant unnecessary double-dipping that all the studios insist on doing. People who have already purchased a title or boxed set a few years previously will not double dip lest the print is better. Special features don't go over very well with the mainstream market because of higher costs. They just want a good looking and good sounding movie at the right price.
Having said that, my dad owns the Widescreen boxed set of this and I have been putting off on buying my own box since then. Guess I better soon, or I will have to wait for Blu Ray. It still puzzles me as to why this was never released on HD-DVD though and why Star Wars (at least the newer trilogy) wasn't released on Blu Ray. But now that I think about it, they are from the same filmmakers, so they will probably roll both series on Blu Ray now that there is a definitive winner in the format war. Hopefully other series like Lord of the Rings and Batman will be released on Blu Ray in the next year or so.

Last Crusade I can understand, but Temple of Doom? That movie will look great on Blu-ray -- particularly the opening dance sequence and the melee afterwards.
I can only see the single release SEs working for people who haven't got the previous set and only want "Raiders" and/or "Crusade" in their collections (and avoid "Temple" like the plague).

While there appears to be some interesting new extras I think I'll pass as well and wait till Blu-ray (hopefully with the damn deleted scenes) is released and I finally fork over the cash for a player. Until then I'm quite happy with the set I have right now

Whyyyy? If Blade Runner had a Hi Def edition then am pretty sure Indiana Jones would too. Stratigically speaking that Indiana Jones is one of the major titles that consumers really want in an entire 1080p presentation. Also do you think Paramount would be so dumbed out that they wont release a HD version of it? Considering that the new film is slated for this year, and people start to run for the trilogy in High Definition. I bet you anything that by the end of this year or in the next couple of years we will see the Indiana Jones Trilogy in what could be on 4 BD discs.

nothing really different from the 2003 box set, I mean the documentary of all 3 films from 03 basically sums up the extras on that press release, what a wastse

So they don't need to push the format any further then? I think they do if it's to have any chance of kicking DVD of it's perch and that means bringing out the most popular films such as Raiders, Star Wars ect ect with a picture, sound and extras to make people sit up and take notice.
Oh and one hell of an ad campaign, theres next to nothing on TV or in magazines that i've seen.
