Anyone that knows me well is aware that there’s few things in life I’m more obsessed with than Indiana Jones. I’m not just a longtime fan of the movies, I also collect toys, posters, props, clothing, and just about anything that’s related to the popular Lucasfilm franchise. I even own two Indy leather jackets custom made for me by the same woman who made Harrison Ford’s for the first three movies – I went to the UK to get them. Needless to say, I love Indiana Jones. Many have been wondering how long we’d have to wait before the fedora-wearing hero would make his way to the Blu-ray side of home entertainment. The fourth installment, INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL, was already released on Blu-ray in 2008, but the original trilogy has yet to get the “Blu” treatment. Today I received an official press release from Paramount that makes me very happy, as this fall we’ll finally get to see Dr. Henry Jones Jr. looking better than ever when “The Complete Indiana Jones Film Collection” comes to Blu-ray – including RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM and INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE, in addition to CRYSTAL SKULL. Read what I read below, and tell us your thoughts in the comments. You can pre-order the Indiana Jones Blu-ray Collection right here.
