SPY REPORT: Indy DVD Update
Tue, Apr 22, 03 10:06:06 PM EDT

Our insider Teabags spreads some Indiana Jones DVD goodness to the fans in tonight's SPY REPORT. Production on the DVD is pressing ahead as we speak, here's an update to what we know:

Quote:

From what I’ve gathered from other internet news sources, Lucasfilm is doing a major overhaul to the original films in terms of image quality. But what I know hasn’t been seen on the net yet. Basically what you need to know is that the movies will be interactive – it wont be mandatory during film viewing, but you will have the option of learning more about the people and places depicted in various scenes. For instance, when Indy is in Cairo, you can stop to learn more about Northern Africa during the 1930s.
And I’ve also read rumors on other news sites that the DVDs wont be released as a trilogy, but one at a time over the next three years, with Raiders set to be released by Christmas 2003. I know the only "information stops" that have been worked on so far are related solely to places Indy went in Raiders of the Lost Ark, so I would presume that this release schedule is correct.

I'll get more, so stay tuned.

Great stuff - sounds like a fantastic DVD!

What a nice way to make money...

releace them one at a time and then release a nice box-set...

the StarWars way??

anyway...I will buy them!...

Rypro 525 · 04-23-03, 01:41 PM

well thats good, I wasn't planning on getting 2 and 3 anyway, just number 1.

cupcake jesus · 04-23-03, 02:07 PM

wow. that's WICKED annoying. who could care about interactive stops that'll probably freeze the player? just give me the movies!!!!!

Mr. Salty · 04-23-03, 02:12 PM

So this is a rumor about a rumor? It may be true, but I don't put a lot of stock in it.

eedoon · 04-23-03, 02:16 PM

Yeah. I've been expecting for too long I've almost lost my hope. I won't buy any rumor until there's an official announcement.

Groucho · 04-23-03, 02:24 PM

I'm just cracking up over the name "Teabags."

Where? Where? In your mouth!

JuryDuty · 04-23-03, 02:39 PM

I tend to still stick with the rumor that all three will be released at once based on the ad someone found that they posted on TheDigitalBits. Well, anyway, I'm just glad these will be coming finally.

animefan · 04-23-03, 02:41 PM

I think Im just going to wait until they make a mega-ultimate boxset for all 4 movies later. I will just have my VHS until then.

Seriously though, just get them out so we can see Indy in all his OAR goodness with a remixed DD5.1-DTS-ES platform!

RichardW · 04-23-03, 03:10 PM

If this rumor is true, it sounds like a stupid release plan. Another format could be available before all 3 films get released on DVD. And I can't stand Infinifilm type stuff on my DVDs. When I watch a movie, I don't want to jump away to interviews or making-of segments. I prefer to watch them separately, after the movie.

Geofferson · 04-23-03, 03:12 PM

Boo.

same here.

JimRochester · 04-23-03, 03:51 PM

This was the original rumor, then was supplanted by the box-set rumor, now to be replaced by the original. All we need are a couple thousand more rumors and release announcements cancelled and we can have another BTTF.

tacomantt · 04-23-03, 04:02 PM

As long as the dont add special effects and mess with any of the originals I am ok.

shanester · 04-23-03, 04:03 PM

Didn't anybody see the Godfather Trilogy or BTTF??..Hello Lucasfilms this is how it's done

Preferably at the same time!

If this rumour is true bad idea imo

Martin Blythe · 04-23-03, 04:08 PM

Rumor and speculation.

Pants · 04-23-03, 04:09 PM

Selling them seperately is great (I hate the Godfather Trilogy because I don't want them all). But releasing them 1 year at a time would suck. I doubt they'll do this. Just a rumor.

Not when there's a number 4 in the works.

they are making slight adjustments, like removing the snake's reflection when indy falls into the well of souls.

shanester · 04-23-03, 04:21 PM

I didn't know they were doing Indy 4??..Isn't Harrison Ford a little to old to be running around saving the world with a whip??

I barely got through believing Sean Connery as his father in Indy 3

typecase · 04-23-03, 04:26 PM

This sucks. Release them all at the same time!

Yep.

Release them all together!

DavidH · 04-23-03, 04:38 PM

I will believe it when I see it. I am still not convinced it is even coming this year at all.
