George Lucas to re-release Indiana Jones films in 3D
Even the temple of Indy is not sacred as its creator plans to give the adventure saga starring Harrison Ford a 3D makeoverFirst Star Wars, now Indiana Jones. George Lucas is to convert the adventure saga starring Harrison Ford to 3D in advance of a re-release in cinemas, according to the Blue Sky Disney blog.The site reports that 1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark, the opening film in the series, will be the first to get the treatment. Lucas has already announced that all six Star Wars films – the iconic first three movies and lesser regarded prequel trilogy – will be released in 3D from 2012.The Indiana Jones series now runs to four movies: Raiders, 1984's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, 1989's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and 2008's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Lucas's efforts to utilise modern technology in the most recent film were widely condemned, with the addition of a CGI gofer in the opening credits drawing particular ire. Steven Spielberg, who directed all four films, has his own 3D project, The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn, in the works.George LucasHarrison Ford3DAction and adventureBen Childguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
