Индиана Джоунс „посинява” на 18 септември

От началото на месец март знаем, че през есента на тази година една от най-великите филмови поредици на всички времена ще има своята премиера на Blu-ray, а сега вече имаме и конкретна дата.

„Lucasfilm” и „Paramount Home Media Distribution” съобщиха, че Blu-ray изданието на „Индиана Джоунс”, което ще включва четирите филма от поредицата, ще се появи по магазините на 18 септември и ще изглежда ето така:

Все още няма подробности какво точно ще съдържа изданието – извън четирите филма, разбира се – но имаме обещание за един куп допълнителни материали, описвани като „best of’ collection of documentaries, interviews, featurettes and a few new surprises”.

На този етап няма какво повече да коментираме, затова припомнете си трейлъра на предстоящото издание, хвърлете едно око на официалния пресрелийз, който описва техническата част около ремастерирането на филмите и ни очаквайте с повече подробности в момента, в който се появи информация за съдържанието на дисковете.

In June of 1981 director Steven Spielberg and executive producer George Lucas introduced the world to Indiana Jones when the unforgettable Raiders of the Lost Ark debuted in theaters. Exploding to instant acclaim, the film has now been carefully restored, alongside remastered versions of the archaeologist’s other thrilling adventures—Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Prepare for excitement, adventure and snakes—why did it have to be snakes?—all with pristine picture and sound when INDIANA JONES: The Complete Adventures debuts on Blu-ray September 18, 2012 from Lucasfilm Ltd. and Paramount Home Media Distribution.

Supervised by director Steven Spielberg and renowned sound designer Ben Burtt, Raiders of the Lost Ark has been meticulously restored with careful attention to preserving the original look, sound and feel of the iconic film. The original negative was first scanned at 4K and then examined frame-by-frame so that any damage could be repaired.

The sound design was similarly preserved using Burtt’s original master mix, which had been archived and unused since 1981. New stereo surrounds were created using the original music tracks and original effects recorded in stereo but used previously only in mono. In addition, the sub bass was redone entirely up to modern specifications and care was taken to improve dialogue and correct small technical flaws to create the most complete and highest quality version of the sound possible while retaining the director’s vision. The result is an impeccable digital restoration that celebrates the film and its place in cinematic history.

The installments in the franchise have won a combined seven Academy Awards®. Relive every heart-pounding thrill like never before as all four films arrive together, for the first time presented in 1080p high definition with English 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio accompanied by a collection of documentaries, interviews, featurettes and new bonus features.
