LOS ANGELES - Indiana Jones entered the atomic age in his latest movie. Now he's joining the Blu-ray era.

ADVERTISEMENT

The blockbuster "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" arrives on DVD and Blu-ray high-definition disc Oct. 14, distributor Paramount announced Tuesday.

The first "Indiana Jones" flick in 19 years, "Crystal Skull" reunited Harrison Ford in the title role with director Steven Spielberg and executive producer George Lucas, who collaborated on the franchise's three previous installments.

The film moved the archaeologist-adventurer from the 1930s of his earlier exploits into the nuclear age of the 1950s.

"Crystal Skull" will be available on a single-disc DVD with just the film or in two-disc DVD and Blu-ray sets. Extras in the two-disc sets will include a segment on how the new movie evolved over its long development period; a production diary including glimpses of location shoots in New Mexico, Connecticut and Hawaii; and segments on makeup, visual effects and the crystal skulls at the heart of the action.

A DVD boxed set with all four movies also will be available.

Paramount and Lucasfilm have not yet announced when the first three movies will be released on Blu-ray.

I hope the Blu-ray sales like gangbusters - since that would certainly expediate those "other" Lucasfilm titles onto Blu-ray.

2-disc all the way. I really enjoyed this movie and thought it was a great followup after 20 years. I don't get why so many people hated it and bashed the CGI, monkeys etc. Didn't bother me at all.

Excellent! I'll pick up the Blu-ray for sure.

While it wasn't without its flaws, I still had a great time watching it in the theater and thought it was fun entertainment overall.

No matter how one might feel about the movie or the extras on the DVD, I have to give Paramount a big for using the movie posters for the cover art.

Agree all the way! This more than seals the deal for the two-disc DVD for me.

I've yet to go Blu... (still smarting from HD DVD going belly up). All the Indy flicks may have pushed me over the edge. Just the 4th? I'll go with the 2-disc DVD to complete the set.

(Still good to see Blu coming out day-and-date. That's pleasantly surprising on this one.)

2-disc SD for me. Even though my reaction to the film was kind of lukewarm, I want to watch this again because it was still fun.

Just so there's no confusion, you OWN a BD player, but you're going to buy the lower quality DVD?

Yeah that's pretty silly considering how amazing this film would look, I was blown away at the DLP showing I went to.

From the looks of it he would much rather have all 4 Indy films in DVD rather then 3 in DVD and 1 in BD. That gives him the option of watching the movies anywhere vs on just one TV in his home.

Me - I'll stick with all 3 on DVD and grab the BD.

Don't know if this will really be new info, but I thought I'd offer it up anyway.

I briefly visited a post-production facility in L.A. as part of my job and saw a box of digibeta tapes labeled "Indiana Jones". I asked the guy there about it and he told me they were B-rolls and outtakes from the original three movies that are being used for the forthcoming box set.

The inevitable re-release I'm guessing with Crystal Skull included.. or a forthcoming Blu-ray set.

I'm aware of that set, yes, but as there's been no indication of the special features for Raiders, Temple, and Crusade, I figured those would be identical to the existing releases. Maybe I assumed wrong.
