OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE (September 26, 2008):

Concord Records to Release Indiana Jones: The Soundtracks Collection on November 11, 2008!

On November 11, 2008 Concord Records will release Indiana Jones: The Soundtracks Collection. This limited-edition boxed set will include all four of Oscar-winning composer John Williams' soundtracks for the Indiana Jones film series - RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and this year's summer blockbuster Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Exclusive to this set are expanded and remastered versions of the original soundtracks for the first three films. The set will also include a bonus CD featuring additional previously unreleased music from the films, as well as excerpts from interviews with Williams, director Steven Spielberg, and executive producer/story creator George Lucas in which they discuss the making of the music for these historic films.

Produced by Laurent Bouzereau, the boxed set will be presented in a handsome, embossed leatherette slip case with a full-color booklet that offers more than 25 pages of behind-the-scenes photos, storyboards and other memorable images from the films. This new set reintroduces and expands the first three iconic Indiana Jones soundtrack albums, which have been collectors' items for many years.

"I've had the great honor and pleasure of visiting the behind-the-scenes of the four Indiana Jones films from several angles: first as a writer/director/producer of documentaries, then as a collaborator on a book chronicling the making of all four films," Bouzereau says. "I felt I had come full circle when I was asked to collaborate on assembling expanded CD soundtrack albums for Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The result represents a unique musical experience for listeners and fans of the now-classic film series that stimulates the imagination and makes you want to watch the films again."

With 45 Academy Award nominations and five Oscars® under his belt, John Williams has composed many of the most famous film scores in history, and has collaborated with Steven Spielberg for the past 35 years on 23 films including Jaws, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial and Schindler's List. Williams also composed the acclaimed scores for George Lucas' STAR WARS saga, Superman: The Movie, Memoirs of a Geisha, and the first three Harry Potter films.

Do I get to start the NBA 2008-2009 thread?

Indy gets a release date at last:

It is one of the most anticipated film scores of the year and next month all will finally be revealed as John Williams’ Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is released on CD on May 20th, just a couple of days before the film hits screens worldwide. The score of course marks the legendary composer’s fourth adventure with Spielberg, Lucas and Henry Jones Jr. and fans can hardly wait to hear what Williams has come up with. The score will be made available by Concord Records, a jazz, blues and classical label which previously released Gustavo Santaolalla’s Babel. No tracklisting or artwork has been revealed as yet, but the release date is tantalisingly close. Early reports suggest Williams has stuck closely to the style of the original scores, which Concord are apparently due to re-release separately at a later date. The score is also the first to feature the brand new hi-tech keyboard instrument, the ‘Continuum Fingerboard’, a keyboard that pre-empts where the performers fingers will go using complex sensors. Although the device provided ambient sound for the likes of Superman Returns and Williams’ War of the Worlds, Crystal Skull marks the first time it has been used as an instrument.

All will of course become clear on May 20th as the score hits stores; the usual online retailers are already providing pre-order services, but there’s sure to be plenty to go around!

This link says that the other soundtracks will be re-released at a later date, which, if they're expanded versions, would be really swell.

New extras and (spiffy) new packaging aren't enough to get me to rebuy the films (which themselves appear to be identical to the 2003 discs), but if they're cheap enough on release week and/or include a free ticket to the new movie, that may be enough to get me to bite.

Otherwise, I'll be waiting for the eventual HD-DVD Blu-Ray versions.

I was thinking "my God, there's just a ****-ton of 'different' Indy figures to choose from in the new line," so I thought I'd fun to try to keep track of them all.  Originally I just wanted to compare all the different 3 3/4" versions, but for the sake of completeness, I went ahead and included everything.

Seriously.  Am I missing something here, or does the OT not get any love in 2008?  Is it because it got so much love in 2007?  First three waves are prequel, EU, EU, and the last half of the year is gonna be all EU, apparently.  Aside from that rumored new Falcon, I can't think of very much else from the OT that's on tap this year.

What's the deal?

At what point was it decided to lump all the news about any (and every) dead celebrity into this one, all-encompassing thread, as quickly as possible?  I mean, I understand that news about the average B- or C-list celeb dying of old age or an illness should go in there, and I understand the want to keep the forum free from clutter.

But wasn't the Heath Ledger thing today big enough, and shocking enough, to warrant a thread of it's own for at least a few days, to generate as many views and as much discussion as possible?  It can always be merged into the big thread later on.

Am I wrong?
