Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last few months, you already know that all four Indiana Jones films will be released on Blu-ray together in one box set September 18th. We also know that Raiders of the Lost Ark has been meticulously restored under the direct supervision of director Steven Spielberg and sound designer Ben Burtt for this release, and that Temple of Doom, The Last Crusade, and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull have all been remastered as well.
Today, we finally have full specs on the bonus features that will be included in the set. Most of the documentaries and featurettes are nothing new, but there are a few new surprises, as was previously reported, including a 1981 documentary on the making of Raiders of the Lost Ark, as well as an all-new two-part Raiders documentary. Believe me, Indy fans, we have some great stuff coming our way next month. Hit the jump to see what’s included!

From ComingSoon.net:
In addition to all of Indy’s thrilling adventures, the set includes seven hours of fascinating documentaries, featurettes and interviews with cast members and filmmakers. This comprehensive collection of behind-the-scenes bonus features is augmented by 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, these captivating pieces transports fans back to where the legend began.
Raiders of the Lost Ark has been painstakingly restored with careful attention to preserving the original look, sound and feel of the iconic film. The original negative was scanned at 4K and then examined frame-by-frame so that any damage could be repaired. The sound design was similarly preserved using Burtt’s original master mix, which had been archived and unused since 1981. New stereo surrounds were created using the original music tracks and original effects recorded in stereo but used previously only in mono. In addition, the sub bass was redone entirely up to modern specifications and care was taken to improve dialogue and correct small technical flaws to create the most complete and highest quality version of the sound possible while retaining the director’s vision.
