Empire marks 25 years of Indiana Jones with four covers

LONDON - Empire is to mark the 25th anniversary of the UK release of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' with a series of four different magazine covers for its October edition.

The Emap film title plans to commemorate the 80s blockbuster movie, which starred Harrison Ford, with three separate covers, and one special version available only to subscribers.

The October edition will feature 30 interviews about the film, including ones with director Steven Spielberg, producer George Lucas and Harrison Ford, articles on lost scenes and details of the fourth Indiana Jones movie, which is due to be released in 2008.

Colin Kennedy, editor in chief of Empire, said: "Outside of the re-releases of the original 'Star Wars' trilogy, this is the very first time Empire have attempted a 'retro cover'."

Empire said it had changed its title font to mimic the film's typeface for the Indiana Jones edition, which comes out August 28.

The Emap magazine was down 7.7% to 175,656 in the latest ABC circulation figures, but is still the sector's bestselling title, with Future's Total Film up 0.4% to 91,000 taking second place.
