Star Wars won't be out in HD until the live action series is starting on TV, so probably not until 2010 or 2011.

LOTR who the fuck knows. The Tolkien Estate can seriously fuck over New Line right now.


so no Indy?

I was watching Episode III the other day, simply yearning for that to be in HD. Good god when that comes out it'll likely be the best looking Blu-ray ever.
Episode 2 was shot digitally with Sony HDW-F900 camera that has 1080p resolution in 16:9 format, but due to movie's 2.35:1 format, only 817 vertical pixels ended up being used. Essentially, EP2 recording resolution is 1920x817, which I think is pretty common resolution for BD and HDDVD (again because of the movie's aspect ratios)

Episode 3 was made with HDW-F950 which has better color reproduction, but pretty much the same resolution. However, by then they may have used Canon's anamorphic lens to make use of full 1080p vertically.

I'm just saying this to limit your expectations a bit - EP2 and 3 were not made using some magic digital tech that provides otherworldly resolution or quality.

Consider that Cloverfield was shot with HDW-F23, a newer and even better camera (still 'only' 1080p though), and that movie often got laughed at as being filmed with a handycam :P

Yeah but even still Lucasfilm has a crazy reputation for picture and sound quality. Episode III is still pretty much the best looking DVD I've ever seen. The transfer should be top-notch. I mean the painstaking detail they went through for the OT DVD's to remove as much grain as possible was insane.
 
HBO has broadcast all six of the Star Wars films in HD and they all look great, even the older ones, but especially the newer ones. Of course, they'll look even better on BluRay when they get the eventual release. The only problem I had with the OT in HD was that some of the matte paintings used for background became really really evident in HD. :lol
 
just finished a guide to recognizing your saints. consider me a believer in labeouf. if his talent is any indication, he should be great here.
 
ABC is claiming Sallah is in it:
http://www.abcnews.go.com/GMA/Oscars2008/popup?id=4273326&contentIndex=1&page=8

John Rhys-Davies' name may not be as familiar as those of the other actors from "Indiana Jones," but his face is unforgettable. Even when he was covered in heavy makeup as the horny dwarf Gimli in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, Rhys-Davies made his presence known. He appeared in the first and third installment of "Indiana Jones" and will appear in the new film this year.
 
!!! Fuck yes !!!

I would hope so but this was from when they were starting to shoot.

"Seems he has not been asked to be in Indy 4 or even approached about it.

From the little information he had about the film he had been told through a third party that the character of Sallah had been written out of Indy 4 in favour of a younger cast."

Imdb.com doesn't have him either (not that is the be all end all though).
 
This should be good.
Been a long time since I've watched a Harrison Ford movie where it's a true event. Classic incoming.

This is definitely wrong. Just check the page on IMDB. I've been following Indy IV closely for months, and can guarantee he has no role in the new film.

IMDB? :lol IMDB said Aunt May would be Carnage in Spider-Man 3.

I thought the fucking was already started? I saw an article on Yahoo yesterday and the estate alleges that New Line hasn't paid them one penny other than the upfront costs. Here: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/12/business/media/12movie.htmlNew Line has accounting issues.

No, no, it's called thievery. Their accountants are just helping them get away with it. Obviously, they didn't do a good enough job of it this time.
I'm not in the entertainment business, but I have personal experience in this area.

What does that have to do with the Indy 4 trailer?

Who cares about Sallah? He's a cool character, but does he have to be in every Indiana Jones movie? Two's enough. Plus I doubt he IS in it. (Sorry.)

Yes he does, for comic relief and nostalgia factor. Every Indy movie has someone funny in it, Sallah, Short-round, Indy's dad, etc. From the current cast I don't know who is going to fill that role. So I'm getting my hopes up, which will probably be inevitably crushed if he is not in it.

I agree even though Short Round annoyed the shit outta me with all his WOAH MR JONES WOHHH UHH

Why you guys always hating?

this is neog... the internet... well, you know. everything sucks. pretty sure Shia's role will be the equivalent of Short Round, it won't take away from Ford.
 
brandonh83 said:
Yes, things like this happens when you're being given direction by Michael Bay.

Michael Bay directed Disturbia and Surf's Up?

I approve of Communists instead of Nazis :D

Its a fact that the Americans and the Soviets were determined to ensure that they were the first to
make contact with aliens if they did exist to gain an upper hand in the cold war
so this does make some sense
 
Great poster. I wonder why Ray Winstone's so much bigger than Shia, I didn't really expect his character to get a lot of time.

It's the cover for the comic book adaptation, not the poster.
