Indiana Jones To Arrive Again in 2005

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."

Preorder for cheap + Useful Link

You can preorder the Indiana Jones Trilogy for $44.95 at Bestbuy.com. I didn't link directly to their product page to avoid looking like I'm trying to make some $$$ on referrals. However, you can click through your favorite 'hot deals' website if you preorder & still get it for $44.95 while earning them a few cents in the process; Or just go to their website and search for "Indiana DVD" and it will be the top two links FYI: The Widescreen edition SKU is 5721463 & the Full Screen SKU is 5721454.

And don't forget to check out Spielberg Films for fairly up-to-date news.

From their Temple of Doom page: It looks like the news previously reported regarding extra features on the fourth disc of the INDY set was on the money as the bonus disc will include documentaries on "The Making of the Trilogy", "The Sound and Music of Indiana Jones", "The Special Effects of Indiana Jones" and "The Stunts of Indiana Jones".
DVDFile says the "Making Of" doc will be a "new full-length documentary", so its safe to assume that the documentary will be a substantial, feature-length look at the making of the trilogy.
No word is made about deleted scenes, but amazon.com's spec list did state they would be present. Judging by the accuracy of the other extras they named, things are pointing to their inclusion, but you never know until the discs is in our grubby hands.

No, Sean Patrick Flanery played Indy in the tv series. River Phoenix played Young Indy in The Last Crusade (the part showing the origin of the scar on his chin).

You have to remember the plot of the last movie. The price for being immortal was you had to stay inside the seals at the door of the chamber. Since he left the Chamber of the Grail, the immortality is no longer in effect.

No script yet!

Harrison Ford was on Conan last week and said he hasn't even seen a script yet for #4. The release time frame is definitely tentative.

Indy used his whip to hang on to the periscope, and the U-Boat never went below periscope depth. Since the snorkels weren't added until years later, the U-Boat couldn't go far or fast while submerged, since it was running on crappy batteries instead of the primary diesel engine.

Or, God parted the waves or something for him.

The U-Boat eventually surfaced (which was typical -- they didn't stay under unless they were shooting or hiding), and while Indy would have had to avoid the deck spotters that would stand up there looking for other ships, he'd be somewhat more comfortable.

When they arrive at the base, he'd have to swim ahead of it to beat it there (remember, he's already hiding out there as the sub is arriving) but aside from having to avoid being seen, it wouldn't be amazingly difficult; the sub's entry into the base won't be at top speed or anything.

Anyway, the question of how Indy survived that isn't really the big plot hole. I want to know how they managed to get that giant, heavy crate with the Ark in it into the U-Boat. The hatches are not really all that big -- and Spielberg had actually used that as a joke in "1941" when some Japanese sailors have difficulty fitting a large radio set through the hatch.
