I will take them anyway I can get them. I at least have my bootlegs to keep me happy until then.

That's really stupid! Go figure it's Spielberg and Lucas afterall

This business about linking within the movie to docs about the subject matter, locations, etc. sounds familiar... InfiniFilm anyone? Of course, Infinifilm doesn't "force" you to watch the supplements. I don't believe for a second that anyone would make such a dumb choice as to integrate mandatory "stops" that totally take you out of the film. Even the InfiniFilm series strongly urges you to watch the entire film through before enabling the InfiniFilm features. There's not a director out there who would opt to have their film interrupted with some tangential documentary.

I'd still welcome an "InfiniFilm" treatment of the movies... though it certainly wouldn't be called "InfiniFilm" cuz that's owned by New Line.

come on people it's just rumors!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a good fealing we'll see all 3 this year.

TomOpus

I have the same feeling. Give us the movies now...

Bacon

theraider.net ...This sounds very exciting but it's still only a rumor. It's the first time I heard that the Indy films will be interactive so I'm not certain what to think about. But I currently doubt that the Indy Trilogy will be released one at a time. Why?
I have received information from someone working at a company specialized in embossing DVD boxes that his company is doing a lot of work on a special Indiana Jones Trilogy DVD box. Something similar to the 20th Anniversary Edition 'Alien Legacy' DVD box, but only much better

Yeah why would there be a box being made now if they'd release them a year apart? I kidna think the rumors are just for getting people to visit their (theforce.net) site.

DavidH

How do we REALLY know that this box is being built that you are so certain about?

There is NO evidence to any of these claims. Until there is, all of it is arbitrary.

trigun

Hooray! I'll be dead before Indy and SW are on DVD!

There are only 12 years difference.

I have my LD collection that will hold me over, but I'd love to see some extras.

Most "mature" actresses with considerable acting skills
decry the Hollywood need to cast young and nubile actresses rather than tried-and-true (and somewhat older) talent. Indy's leading ladies have been young and nubile (Karen Allen in the first, Kate Capshaw in the second, ??? as the German uber-babe in the third), so Spielberg and Co. stuck with the formula in the series. Kate Capshaw now, older and also somewhat altered after having children with Spielberg, doesn't seem to fit the leading lady characteristics that both the Indy movies and Hollywood look for. I apologize if offense was taken; Hollywood casting directors probably don't care who gets offended as long as the box office is served.

Now, while it might make sense for a 59-year old Indy to romance
someone closer to his age, that didn't stop Ford from making "Six Days, Seven Nights" with Anne Heche, and in one of the most egregious examples of disparity, consider Sean Connery and Katherine Zeta-Jones in "Entrapment". In fact, there was a recent article somewheres that I read talking about how clearly non-hunky actors on TV sitcoms ("King of Queens", "According to Jim" i.e., Jim Belushi, David Spade on "Just Shoot Me") get paired with young and nubile hotties like Leah Rimini, Courtney Thorne-Smith and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos. TV and Hollywood clearly don't reflect the average state of affairs.

(Of course, there are always exceptions, like the remake of "The Thomas Crown Affair". It helps to be Rene Russo when bucking a trend.)

If only we had a sign..... Kekeke...

JoeyOhhhh

I'm surprised how many posts were made after a Paramount Rep says "Rumor and speculation".

Thanks Corky for quoting that, it would have gotten lost in this thread.

TomOpus

Yeah, somehow I missed it before I made my previous post, but at least I thought it wasn't true either.

I think Martin should post in big red letters...

Daytripper

Great! If I wanted to watch these films as "pop up videos", I'd wait for them to be shown on VH-1's "Movies that rock!"

CanadianKnight

Geez... I just scanned right past "rumour and speculation" without realizing that was Martin posting. Thanks Corky.

I was suspicious the second I saw "I’ve also read rumors on other news sites" in that story. So it's a story about rumours based on rumours. :P

Thanks for clearin' it up Martin!!!

Movie_Man

I seem to recall Spielberg saying he was pushing the studio for all 3 at once. And doesn't he usually get his way?

DavidH

Not unless Lucas wants his way.

Rizor

I think the old Wall Street journal with Spielberg said that he and Lucas wanted the one at a time release pattern, but Paramount wanted it as a boxed set.

Morf

Hmm...I thought it was the exact opposite. Now I can't remember for sure. Damn you's guys! Now I'm confused!

Rizor

I can try looking up the darn thing....and here it is:

jiggawhat

That's misinformation. It's not going to be released one at a time. Trust me. It will be a box set most likely.

DavidH

From a financial standpoint, Paramount, Lucas, and Spielberg will make more money if they sell them as a boxset since this will force people to essentially pay for the movie(s) they don't want - just like Godfather III and Back to the Future III. I mean I never would have bought either of those films, but I was forced to since I wanted the first two films of each.

evilbaby

Count me as someone who'd prefer to buy all 3 movies at once.

DrOBoogie1

Same here, and same goes for the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.

digitalfreaknyc

Same here...but I have to say with Young Indy that bundles would be preferable.

Or maybe that's just my credit card talking.
