: You mean, they'll release it straight to video (& DVD) instead of a theatrical release? That WOULD make it a lot cheaper...

No, I didn't mean that it would be packaged for the consumer that way. I meant Lucas's deal with Paramount may have provisions which include other properties that Paramount may not be so gungho about. Paramount knows it can make the big bucks off the Indy trilogy on DVD and probably Indy IV, but it's experienced a less-than-stellar reception of the Young Indy vids (I'm guessing here), so they may not want to invest in them. Lucas, however, wants to see the Young Indy series on DVD, so he uses the others as leverage.

Once again, I must disclaim... this is rampant speculation.
