Young Indiana Jones And The DVD Release.Paramount is already setting up the runway for as much Indiana Jones commercialism as they can get out of next year’s Indiana Jones 4. The awesome DVD set they released with the trilogy is still too new to be double dipped (at least not until they can release it with an “advance look” at the fourth film) so what is a studio to do? Well, fortunately they have a television series that fans have been chomping at the bit for, so now it’s time to release it.
According to TV Shows on DVD, Paramount has announced the upcoming release of “The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles” to be released in three volumes. The first of the volumes will hit stores on October 23rd, almost five years after we were originally planning to enjoy Indy’s travels as a youth.
For me, this is great news. I was a fan of the series – at least the portion that starred Sean Patrick Flanery (“The Dead Zone”) as a teenage Indy with his friend Remy. I just couldn’t get into the young, young Indiana Jones, whose adventures seemed insignificant to me. The series was produced by Lucas and bookened by an elderly Indiana Jones, telling his story to some willing listener. Maybe Indiana Jones 4 will finally show how crusty, old Indy got that eyepatch.
Paramount hasn’t updated their press site with any information, so TV Shows on DVD is our only source for this right now. More details and artwork as Paramount releases it.
About time!
