• 'Indiana Jones' Blu-Ray Collection Hits Stores September 18
  

  

  Get your Fedoras and whips ready, because the Blu-Ray collection of the "Indiana Jones" films is officially coming out September 18.

  Lucasfilm and Paramount Home Media Distribution sent out a press release today making the big announcement. The complete collection will include "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark," "Temple of Doom," "The Last Crusade" and "Kingdoms of the Crystal Skull" in their best versions yet.

  "Supervised by director Steven 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," the press release reads. "The original negative was first scanned at 4K and then examined frame-by-frame so that any damage could be repaired."

  The sound design has also been preserved using Burtt's "original master mix." The Blu-Ray collection will include surround sound capabilities and the dialogue has been improved in these versions, so at least you have the comfort of knowing that you'll be getting the best "Indiana Jones" editions available.

  In addition to that, there are going to be the usual special features that come along with any complete series collection. The press release didn't announce any specific details, but did promise "a collection of documentaries, featurettes and new bonus features."

  Make sure you snatch these up fast, though it likely won't be the "complete" collection for very long. After all, Shia LaBeouf promised us last year that "Indiana Jones 5" is "not so far off."

• Watch Seth McFarlane Perform 'Ted' Scenes Using Motion Capture
  

  
  

  We might not see Seth McFarlane in his live-action directorial debut, "Ted," but we certainly will hear him. The "Family Guy" creator voices the titular foul-mouthed teddy bear, but we didn't realize until now just how far McFarlane went to portray the character.

  Funny or Die released a new featurette that looks at the motion capture technology McFarlane used to make Ted come to life. Not only was he on set filming during every one of Ted's scenes, but he also acted out every instance of the bear's bad behavior.

  "Yes, actually I did hump the cash register....That's the kind of progressive, left wing guy I am," he said with a laugh in the NSFW featurette, which you can view after the jump.

  Apparently, the plan was always to have McFarlane performing as Ted while the film was shooting. He would stand off to the side in a motion capture suit, acting out his scenes and reading his lines so the other actors in the film could work off of him. That especially helped since he was doing double-duty as director, as well.

  "I would be off camera performing with Mark [Wahlberg]or Mila or whoever. We were doing it all live so we could improvise or embellish in spots," McFarlane said. "Nobody's really used that technology yet for traditional character comedy."

  Wahlberg added, "It was good because we were still kind of playing off each other quite a bit."

  Somewhere we know Andy Serkis is very, very pleased.

  "Ted" hits theaters Friday.

  Do find this movie funnier knowing that McFarlane acted out all of these scenes? Tell us in the comments section below or on Twitter!

• Exclusive 'Wrath Of The Titans' Blu-ray Featurette Gets Dangerous
  

  When it comes to big-budget studio films, it's easy to forget that a lot of the time there are actual actors on the screen, and that sometimes those real life actors are putting themselves in harm's way for your entertainment.

  Toby Kebbell would probably like you to remember that acting isn't all fun and games and craft services. In this exclusive look at a featurette from the "Wrath of the Titans" Blu-ray, Kebbell has to run into a spiky trap set by the Cyclops.

  Naturally, Kebbell gets a little shaky about standing in the middle of moving spikes, but it's all part of the job.

  "Wrath of the Titans" once again tells the story of Perseus as he does battle with the gods and attempts to stop the end of the world.

  "Wrath of the Titans" is now available on Blu-ray and DVD.

• Trailer For Josh Hutcherson's Animated Movie 'Epic' Debuts
  

  

  Josh Hutcherson had gone from "The Hunger Games" to a movie of epic proportions.

  Fox has debuted the trailer for Hutcherson's upcoming animated movie "Epic," and it teases a world where fairy-like creatures are forces to be reckoned with. Hutcherson's pint-sized character can be seen hurling through tree branches and avoiding his enemies' arrows in a pretty agile manner. The film actually looks a lot better than that logline makes it sound.

  But Hutcherson isn't the only awesome actor to lend his voice talents to the project. Beyonce, Pitbull. Amanda Seyfried, Aziz Ansari, Jason Sudeikis, Johnny Knoxville, Steven Tyler and Judah Friedlander all came on board for this movie that looks like it's a cross between "Fern Gully" and "Avatar."

  "Epic" follows Seyfried's character Mary Katherine as a teenage girl who gets magically transported to a secret universe. There she is forced to ally herself with a colorful array of characters in order to save the world. Hutcherson is voicing the warrior we see in the trailer named Nod, while Ansari is the slug Mub that we hear at the end. Beyonce is playing Queen Tara.

  The animation in this trailer looks fantastic, but that's likely because it comes from Blue Sky Animation, the same group behind "Rio" and the "Ice Age" movies. "Epic" looks to be their take on the action-adventure genre, and based on this one teaser trailer, it seems like they got the basics down.

  "Epic" comes out in 3D in May 2013.

• Tyler Perry Brings Matthew Fox To Hell In 'Alex Cross' Trailer
  

  

  Matthew Fox is a man of many weapons: sniper rifles, bazookas, explosive disc thingies and "your wife is so pretty" jokes. With all of these weapons at his disposal, he can feel free to ignore the memo warning him not to cross Alex Cross. We'll be standing right behind him, by the way.

  Fox's descent into method-acting madness is on full display in the brand new trailer for "Alex Cross," the James Patterson adaptation hitting theaters this fall with Tyler Perry playing the titular forensic psychologist. Directed by "Fast and the Furious" helmer Rob Cohen, "Alex Cross" represents an unlikely game of cat and mouse between Perry and Fox, one that could very easily bring viewers all the way to the gates of Hell. We would not have it any other way.

  Check out the trailer past the jump!
