Spielberg reveals more Indy on DVD info
Two weeks ago, Steven Spielberg was interviewed by The Wall Street Journal about Minority Report, Indy 4 and his new film, Catch Me If You Can. During the interview, Spielberg said the following: "We're aiming for next fall. George Lucas and I are having an argument with Paramount. Paramount wants to come out with all three movies in one package. George and I want to come out with one film at a time and then come out with all three movies, and maybe even the fourth one, in one package later." (Paramount says there is no argument and discussions are ongoing.) You have probably read this before but there's more...
Variety reported on December 27 that Steven Spielberg said that the release of Indy 4 to theaters would be "synchronized" to the release of the first three films on DVD. So the idea seems to be that Raiders hits DVD in 2003 (maybe fall 2003 as previous DVD rumors mentioned), Temple of Doom arrives on disc in 2004 and Last Crusade shows up in early 2005, just before the new film hits theaters.
It looks like we may certainly expect to see at least one of the Indy films on DVD by the end of 2003. If Lucasfilm wins we will most likely see Raiders of the Lost Ark on DVD (maybe as a 2 disc set) and when Paramount wins we will get all three Indiana Jones films in one box together with a fourth 'Special Features' DVD. Exciting!
