Dolemite_the_Wiz writes "The Raider.net reports that the release date for the next Indiana Jones Movie (tentatively titled 'Indiana Jones 4') is, according to Steven Spielberg, "...going to come out probably for the July 4th weekend of 2005...". The movie looks like it will be set in the 1950s and include just about every main character from the first three films. For more links about this movie, check this search result from Cinescape. Secondly, IndianaJones.com reports that the First three films in the Indiana Jones Trilogy will be released on November 4th. These films have to be one of the most requested DVD releases (probably next to the Original 'Star Wars' trilogy and the first two 'Godfather' movies) ever. " "

This Four DVD set will include:

- Restored Film Footage
- Remastered in THX
- New Dolby 5.1 soundtrack
- A 4th DVD with just about every aspect of how the films were made.

This collection will retail for $49.95 (US)

Here's the official release notice for the DVD.I just hope that the new film and DVD will be able to Satisfy all the Indy fans.

    Harrison Ford escapes from the old folks' home in his wheelchair and finds the Fountain of Middle Age in a Roman temple, where a 19-year-old nymphomaniac falls hopeless in love with him for 17 minutes and then he flies away in his airplane.

    "Harrison Ford can still kick the s**t out of most people half his age," Spielberg told us. "I think he's in great condition to put the fedora and the hat and the leather jacket back on and crack that bullwhip a few more times."
    Yeah, but if he says "I'm getting to old for this shit" I may have to shoot him...

    I remember reading that Mark Hamil was talked about for playing Indiana's long lost evil brother. Any truth to it?

      No, Mark will be too busy filming the long-awaited sequel "Corvette Summer 2".

  5. Indiana Jones 4: Product Placement Info by Karl+Cocknozzle · · Score: 4, Funny

    Indiana Jones will be using such popular consumer products as Geritol, Fix-a-Dent, Ben Gay, and Preperation H. The people representing those "Rascal" mobility scooters didn't put up enough cash to get into the movie.... Just as well, as the pace would be pretty slow with Harrison Ford buzzing along at a brisk 2 mph on one of those electric scooters.

  6. Reworked Scene in RotA by LordYUK · · Score: 5, Funny

    **Spoiler from the Downloaded Kazaa Version**

    Remember that scene in the bazaar with the sword wielding Arabian dude, you know, the one who wants to slice Indy open like a frozen tauntaun?

    Well, in the original Indy just blasts him with his pistol, however, in keeping with the whole "harrison ford shoots second" motiff, Spielburg has decided to let the sword guy swing at him.

    This has the undesirerable side effect of Indy losing his left hand, which has been digitially removed and replaced with a walkie talkie. Years later in the fourth movie, Indy is replaced with a slightly (okay, an extremely) sexier version of himself as a woman, and must engage her in fights that involve her wrapping her legs around him that would leave most contortionists in wheelchairs, slightly before judgement day occurs...

    oh, wait, wrong overdue sequel with a star way too old for the part...

    Well, if the problem is that Harrison Ford is getting to old, then we need to find someone younger. Who better than a young star of movies with "and the" in the title?

    Yes, folks, get ready for Harry Potter and the Temple of Doom!

  9. The Inside Scoop by wynterwynd · · Score: 5, Funny

    The villan from this one will be Interpol, tracking Indiana down for 20 years worth of smuggling national treasures to sell to museums. High adventure ensues in U.S. Extradition Court, as Indy faces his greatest nemesis, Warren "Eyepatch" Fineburg, a ruthless UN junior legal secretary with a jaunty BLACK fedora and a bullwhip-like fountain pen. Indy's only hopes for exoneration lies in a ragtag legal team consisting of a whiny showgirl, an ex-Russian general turned Hindu monk, and a sassy orangutan lawyer. Indy will need all his skill and luck to survive the climactic out-of-court settlement on the ledge of the courthouse clock tower!


    I trusted my heart to you once Lucas, and you let me down. I'll approach this with appropriate levels of guarded enthusiasm.

    "the First three films in the Indiana Jones Trilogy will be released"

    Since, in any rational universe, a trilogy doesn't have a 'first three films', shouldn't that be the 'increasingly inaccurately named Indiana Jones Trilogy'?

  11. Re:imdb forum by JDevers · · Score: 4, Funny

    As someone who utterly loves IMDB, I completely agree with your assessment of the forums. Sometimes when checking out the info on a movie or actor/actress I accidently see the titles of the last few postings to that particular discussion and immediately loose a few IQ points. It generally takes a few days to return to normal (in the case of T3, I wandered around aimlessly in the woods for a month...so you might want to be even more careful)

    If the current trend of declining plot made up for with increasingly dazzling special effects, by the time these movies come out they'll just take your $8.50, give you a box of sparklers, and chase you around the theater a couple of times.

    How about:

    Indiana Jones and the Search for the WMD

    It could be set in the desert, and could have the opening scene in the Oval Office with G.W. telling Harrison Ford that there is a POWERFUL MYSTERIOUS ARTIFACT that evil terrorists are hiding that he needs to find. He's not really sure what it looks like...just that it has the potential to bring lots of DOOM! And if he comes across any oil to make sure to relay the coordinates to his personal line.
