\"\"<\/a>As a lead in to the release of the complete Indiana Jones films on blu-ray later in the month, Paramount will be releasing Raiders Of The Lost Ark<\/strong> into Imax theaters for a limited run from September 8th to the 13th.<\/p>\n

The conversion was done at the same that the film underwent its high-def restoration for the upcoming video release and was overseen by director Steven Spielberg.<\/p>\n

Although Paramount has yet to make an official announcement about the re-release, Spielberg talked with the New York Times<\/a> about it, gushing enthusiasm for the opportunity for people to see the film on as big a screen as possible.<\/p>\n

For me, it\u2019s always been the bigger the screen, the better… It\u2019s the only marked contrast we have to the generations that are seeing our movies on phones and hand-held platforms. It\u2019s a complete relief to be able to see a film that many people have just experienced on a palm-sized platform technology, suddenly hurled at that them on an Imax-sized screen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Presumably, Raiders won’t be reformatted to the traditional IMAX 1.43:1 ratio screens but it still should look pretty impressive, as I assume it will also look that way in the subpar, “LieMax” format as well. You can find a complete list of theaters where the film will be screening at the Imax website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Spielberg noted to the Times that during the restoration process no changes were made to the film outside of remixing the audio for the surround sound capabilities of IMAX.<\/p>\n

When the boulder is rolling, chasing Indy through the cave, you really feel the boulder in your stomach, the way you do when a marching band passes by, and you\u2019re standing right next to it…. Raiders<\/strong> is a movie of my own, that I can actually stand to watch from beginning to end. In that sense, it has a special place in my heart. I don\u2019t rewrite it in my mind; I\u2019m not kicking myself for what I didn\u2019t do. I\u2019m just going along for the ride like everybody else. It\u2019s one of the few films that I\u2019ve directed that I can sit back objectively and observe and enjoy with my family or whoever I\u2019m with, or even alone. Most of my other films, I\u2019m hypercritical of them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
