| ‘Raiders Of The Lost Ark’ Restored For Short 70mm IMAX Theatrical Run
It’s rare to see a classic film get re-released in major theater chains. But many studios are now commemorating the anniversary of the successful titles in their library by polishing the sound and picture quality and giving them a short theatrical release.

The Complete Indiana Jones Blu-ray Collection is finally heading our way courtesy of Lucasfilm Ltd. and Paramount Home Media Distribution. You can watch a trailer for the release here below. The Complete Indiana Jones Blu-ray Collection box set will include all four Indiana Jones movies (yes even Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) remastered in high-definition and featuring a “best of” collection of documentaries, interviews, featurettes, and a few additional bonus features as yet unknown. Maybe they’ll finally include those fabled deleted scenes from Raiders of the Lost Ark. Lord knows the Lucasfilm archives are teeming with great material for Blu-ray extras. Lucas didn’t hold out on us (much) when he released the Star Wars Blu-ray set last year.
