The next poster (which isn't new) advertises AMC's planned Indiana Jones marathon which will see all four films screened back to back on September 15th for only $25. Simply click on the image below for more details.




The cinematic classic that introduced the world to Indiana Jones is ready to embark on a new adventure when director Steven Spielberg and executive producer George Lucas’ unforgettable Raiders of the Lost Ark is released for an exclusive one-week engagement in select IMAX theatres beginning September 7, 2012. The film has undergone a complete restoration for the IMAX exclusive one-week release and subsequent debut on Blu-ray. Tickets and a list of participating theatres are available starting today at www.imax.com.

"When I saw the stunning quality of the picture and heard the enhanced sound in an IMAX theatre, I was quite literally blown away and hope that audiences will enjoy the experience as much as I did," said Spielberg. "We are honored to present all the excitement of Indiana Jones in a way it’s never been experienced before – IMAX," said Greg Foster, Chairman & President, IMAX Filmed Entertainment. "We look forward to celebrating this iconic film with longtime fans as well as a new generation of moviegoers."

The IMAX release of Raiders of the Lost Ark will be digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience with proprietary IMAX DMR (Digital Re-mastering) technology. The crystal-clear images coupled with IMAX's customized theatre geometry and powerful digital audio create a unique environment that will make audiences feel as if they are in the movie.

Under the supervision of Spielberg and renowned sound designer Ben Burtt, Raiders of the Lost Ark has been meticulously restored with careful attention to preserving the original look, sound and feel of the iconic film for its highly-anticipated release on Blu-ray as part of INDIANA JONES: The Complete Adventures. Every extraordinary exploit of world-renowned, globetrotting hero Indiana Jones finally comes home in sparkling high definition on September 18, 2012 from Lucasfilm Ltd. and Paramount Home Media Distribution. In addition to all of the thrilling adventures, the set features seven hours of fascinating bonus material, including a brand new two-part documentary entitled "On Set with Raiders of the Lost Ark – From Jungle to Desert and From Adventure to Legend." Featuring nearly an hour of rarely seen footage from the set of the film and archival interviews with Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Harrison Ford, this captivating piece transports fans back to where the legend began.

My only beef is that they're still sticking to 'Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Art" for the promotional stuff. I UNDERSTAND WHY, but image if MGM/SONY rebranded the past James Bond movies. ( IE: James Bond: Dr. No.) I think the public gets it enough that you don't have to do stuff like that. It's a part of our lexicon.

No Imax anywhere near me, so I'll just pop in my DVD and sit 4 feet from my 60 inch TV on opening day.

I don't see the problem with "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark".

It adds to the classic pulp feel they were going for, and it makes it fit in with the sequels.

Regardless, I hope I get to see see this. But with all the other things I have going on that week, it's hard to say if I will.

Yeah! Imagine if Lucas went back and stuck episode numbers in front of all the titles in the OT! Oh, wait...

There are only 3 Indiana Jones movies.

Take notes Whedon, THIS is how you do proper action with humor, unlike that piece of garbage called The Avengers.

Wow, I thought that this was a Drew Struzan illustration.

That IMAX poster is fantastic! I need to put that up in my room.

I might have to take my kid to these. Raiders was, after all, the first movie I remember seeing in the theater with my parents (though the original Star Wars was actually the first movie they took me to but I don't really remember seeing it - I was a bit too young).

The artist is MARK RAATS.

@JohnnyKrypton

The episode numbers were always in the opening scrolls of the Star wars films. Even the original trilogy. I remember sitting in the theatre back in 1977 with my sons, and seeing "Episode IV: A New Hope", and wondering why it said that? I thought I missed the first three back then.

Everyone who goes to the marathon, please do me a favor and walk out of the theater at the start of the fourth film and say, "[frick] this movie!"
