Does anyone know if the adaptation is available anywhere? I haven’t heard about it, except for isolated screens here-and-there.

Does anyone else think this sounds like that episode of South Park where Lucas and Spielberg remade… Raiders Of The Lost Ark?

As I recall they wanted to include Ewoks and JarJar to ‘unite’ the trilogies.

There’s only so much meddling a story can take. Both Lucas and Spielberg have made wondrous films, but surely making more brilliant and original work is more important… except for Lucas’ wallet, of course.

I just hope they go the South Park route and hide the original film rolls somewhere very safe… just not the 9/11 relief funds warehouse like Cartman and friends suggested…

I havn’t bought the box set yet, so procrastinating will have paid off. Woo-Hoo!

I’m very keen on seeing the 12-18 year-olds adaptation of Raiders. I would pay CAN$18 to get just it on DVD. So absolutely I would buy this edition if it existed. Actually, the inclusion of the adaptation would actually qualify the word “Special” in Special Edition. For the record, I do no own the trilogy box set, i borrow it from friends (many of my film friends have it) if the urge to watch the three films ever strikes.

I for one will not be picking this up, also having just purchased the box set.

Having already laid out ¬£40.00 for the Indy boxset, I dont think Ill be rushing to buy this. I ranted about this before on here, but why do this companies continue to re-release version after version of the same film, in such short sapces of time! Why can’t they just bring out one definative version! Or even wait a while (the boxset only came out last year!). A film comes out on cinema, then within 6-months its on DVD, then 6-months later they release a “special edition” then 6-months later a sequal comes out at the cinema and it all begins again! Will the extras on this special edition Raiders DVD be worth buying, even when you already own the film in a Trilogy boxset. I thought the extras were good enough in the boxset! How many people who own the Indy Trilogy will buy this?
