Paramount Announces Indiana Jones Blu-ray Collection Fall 2012 (1 Viewer)

Paramount is finally taking steps to climb out of their hole - they have new management and the people that prevented the studio from running properly are no longer associated with the studio. While nothing in life is guaranteed, I think they may be able to recover.

The biggest thing for me is that the fifth movie is coming out in July 2020 (?) so there's no way that they aren't waiting until around then to release the others on UHD.

It was pushed back a year to 2021 so that it could be rewritten by Jonathan Kasdan, who also co-wrote Solo and came up with the "how Han got his name" scene. We'll see how that goes. In the meantime, Spielberg is doing West Side Story. After that, we'll see if they manage to make it or find another reason to delay it. There was a time when it was set for 2019, I think, but obviously that's not happening.

If they wait until 2021 to release the others on UHD, that's a long wait and they'd be deferring some money from fans who would likely purchase the set sooner.

I certainly hope Paramount does release these in 4K before Indiana Jones 5 comes out two-plus years from now!

Paramount has the distribution rights to the first four films and the only way Disney can get control of them is to buy Paramount.

They may take Paramount, but they will never take Warner Bros.

I wonder if the fifth film will ever get made. How much longer can they keep pushing it back? Harrison Ford is pushing 80 - a little too old to be jumping off trucks.

 

[Carlo_M]

But is he too old to have his face CGI’d onto someone else who can jump off of a truck?

I still think Young Indiana Jones should be rebooted into a true adventure series (I liked the originals but they were sort of an "educational tool". Harrison Ford could now play "old Indy" that introduced and closed each show. haha

I have have purchased these movies on laser disc, dvd and blu-ray over the years. I would purchase Indiana Jones: And The Raiders Of The Lost Ark & Indiana Jones: And The Last Crusade on 4K blu-ray as those are the only two I am willing to purchase one last time.

Chances are your only choice will all four films in one UHD Blu-ray package.

Really now, you don’t like IJ-KOTCS? I mean what’s not to like? A tough guy greaser morphs into Tarzan before our eyes. Action filmmaking at its finest. Right up there with a real Tarzan movie (the Johnny Weiss..., I mean the Bo Derek version).

 

[Dave Moritz]

Already have the set on Blu-ray and the 1st and 3rd films are the two I really like the most and willing to purchase over again. If the only way to get them is to get them in a UHD set then so be it, rofl.

I'm with you on this one, Dave. I would buy the first and third films on UHD disc in a heartbeat, but I do not want to spend money on the other two or have them on my shelves ever again. If Paramount handles this franchise similar to Universal's handling of Jurassic Park, I may end up just buying the 4K versions of those two films in a streaming format. I did that with the first Jurassic Park film when it dropped to $5 rather than spending money for a boxed set of films I didn't want.

I have the Blu ray set. Having seen each film in the theatre originally and then 75 bazillion times on Beta, VHS, DVD and Blu, I am not really interested in ever seeing them again, so no upgrade for me!

 

[Carlo_M]

I’ll spring for the original trilogy. I don’t love two as much as one and three but I still like it. Four to me...that was Spielberg’s equivalent of Lucas’s Prequel Trilogy

Shots fired!

I'll take Temple of Doom over Last Crusade any day. I think they got worse as they went along, though really, Raiders is in a class by itself, then there are all the others.

 

[skylark68]

I actually prefer Last Crusade to Raiders but they are both heads above the other two. Only one I didn't see theatrically was Temple of Doom. I was still fairly young at the time and Mom had heard of the dinner table sequence as well as hearts getting ripped out of chests. It was a no go from the beginning. haha

 

[SAhmed]

Totally agree and so will take first three but no more.

The Temple Of Doom will always be special to me. I'll always remember it as a movie that dad took me and my brother too when my mom had some sort of girls night out. He knew we were too young to see it so we couldn't tell her about it. Istill don't think she knows. Funny, that theater has been a church for at least 20 years. So long ago now!

 

[JQuintana]

I tried watching Temple again and after about the 4th whiny ass screaming by Kate Capshaw, which only 15 minutes in, I had to shut it off.

She really ruined the movie.

IDK, I still love the inflatable raft coming out of the crashing plane scene! That and the mine cart sequence and Indy cutting the rope bridge in half. Such cool special effects that still look good even now!
