Lucasfilm: Indiana Jones 3-D Rumors Are 'Completely False'
A rumor is circulating today that Lucasfilm plans to convert the four Indiana Jones movies to 3-D, a move echoing its six Star Wars conversions that will debut in 2012 with The Phantom Menace. It could be interesting, right? Alas, a Lucasfilm representative tells Movieline we won't find out any time soon.
A studio source I've worked with in the past denied the story outright: "This is completely false. Right now, we are totally focused on bringing Star Wars to 3-D, and we have no plans to do an Indiana Jones conversion." And... scene. It's too bad, too, because let's be honest: You've never really seen a fridge nuked until you've seen it nuked in 3-D.

These movies are fine the way they were made. I really don't see the need for any of this.
How about just releasing the entire theatrical version of Raiders instead. If memory serves, the only time that the full version was released was back when VHS tapes were around $75 each. After that, little humorous snippets have been missing ever since. I have tried talking to Lucasfilm, Paramount, and even Spielberg to no avail. Maybe Movieline can put in a good word.
