The Indiana Jones Series Set for Blu-ray Release This Fall
2/29/2012

Paramount did not provide an official release date, but the press release indicated that the set would offer the films “using the highest possible high definition picture and audio presentation.”

The 2003 box set included a feature-length documentary about the making of the first three films, as well as a collection of vintage featurettes “from the Lucasfilm Archives.”

According to Wednesday’s announcement, the new set will be packaged with “a ‘best of’ collection of documentaries, interviews, featurettes and a few new surprises.”

Without additional details, there’s no indication whether “best of” means a cultivated selection of previously-available bonus features or some new assembly of extras, but Lucasfilm’s multiple iterations of the Star Wars films on home video suggests that the set may not be truly comprehensive.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was released on Blu-ray following its theatrical release in 2008, so the new announcement marks the first time that the original three films will make their debut in high definition.

I have already added this on my wishlist on Amazon.com. I am not really that big of fan of the franchise but I do find the films to be enjoyable and entertaining and not to mention funny and that is reason enough for me to want to buy the collection whenever it is released. I would say around October or November we should be expecting it to come out...
