Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

[Kevin Roegele]

Think we'll get the sword gag in this one? You know the scene in Raiders, where the Middle Eastern man is singing the sword, challenging Indy to a fight then Indy just shoots him...? They spoofed it in Temple of Doom too. Think we'll get it again..? It is classic Indy, imo...

Now that is the one piece of genius in The Temple of Doom. Just like in Raiders, Indy is approached by a swordsman(s) and goes for his gun - but it isn't there this time, so he just grins at them.

But Temple is a prequel....so Indy learned from it in The Temple of Doom and so he was prepared in Raiders. :up:

[Hudson]

Not sure how I feel about Shia, I mean he's an actor I know but I just can't see him as the spawn of Indiana Jones.

[FaT_tONle]

Dicaprio should be the new Indiana if I this franchise ever went the Bond route... saw Blood Diamond recently... would be kkinda cool... still don't like the fact that Indiana has to be like 60 years old... no one is sold on this

[Catman]

Isn't this movie supposed to take place in the `50s? So, shouldn't Indy's kid look like this? ;)

Yeah, it was a sequel but in the context of the joke, he was trying to replicate what he had done in Raiders. Continuity error? Nah, people get it. It was a spoof..and i loved it.

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Indy should probably have tons of kids....

[Speedball]

Indy should probably have tons of kids....

So should James Bond, but you don't see that happening anytime soon. Indy should have at least two kids, with a steady wife. He's had to have settled down in those twenty years.

hey catman how about not?

Fox411 (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,254767,00.html) talked to Steven Spielberg at the Oscars' Governors Ball who revealed that Indiana Jones 4 (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=4665) starts filming on June 18.

Paramount will release the anticipated film (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=19089#) on May 22, 2008. Other than Harrison Ford, no cast members have been officially announced.

[GoldGoblin]

^Awesome.

[Mike]

I dont really buy a 60 year old Indian Jones. late 40's early 50's yeah.......But 60? Why not recast the damn thing? Nathan Fillion would've made a kick ass Indy.

[Spider-Fan]

This movie is so gonna suck. Thie movie is too many years too late. Ford is too old, and Lucas saying anything is the best ever is just wrong. We have 3 great movies, and now we will be given the piece of crap made for the sole purpose of making money by trying to cash in on a popular series. I also see Ford as wanting to be taken more seriously in action roles (he looked terrible in Firewall), by going the Stallone route.

I know I will be there opening day (like I was for every Star Wars Prequel), but I just know it will suck.

[Darth Elektra]

Man, I hope the movie turns out to be awsome!

I think with Ford and Spielberg both giving the nod it will be.

[Spider-Fan]

That doesn't mean anything. Ford did Firewall for crying out loud. He just wants to work. As for Spielberg, he isn't going to give it to someone else. He has done them all, so he will finish it.

[AssMan]

Shia LaBeouf is in final talks to star in Steven Spielberg's Indiana Jones 4 as the son of the adventuresome archaeologist to be played once again by Harrison Ford, reports Variety.

Spielberg and George Lucas' Lucasfilm, which is producing the fourth film for Paramount, are keeping the storyline under tight wraps. David Koepp (Spider-Man) wrote the script.

Spielberg is set to begin shooting Indiana Jones 4 in June. The film is scheduled for a May 22, 2008 release, taking advantage of the Memorial Day holiday.

LaBeouf stars in two upcoming DreamWorks pics, Disturbia and Transformers. The actor also provides the lead voice in Sony's upcoming animated film Surf's Up!.

Boo! Boo!!! :down

I beg your DAMN PARDON! Shia LeBouf is a great actor! I'm sure he'll kick ass in Transformers, so there's no reason he CAN'T play Indy's son! He is always able to play characters that people like myself can relate to, especially his leading human character in Transformers! Besides, the very thought of Indy having a son is just as cool as it sounds. Rocky had a son (who was played by that guy from Heroes in movie # 6, the best and the last one ever), why can't Indy? I rest my case!

P.S. I think PS3 will come out successfull by this holiday season, while the m-f-ing Wii, as successful as it is currently, will screw up BIG TIME, one way or another, and join Xbox 360 at 3rd place! THAT'S A GIVEN!!!!!!! The same thing happened with PS2, so I'm sure Sony can pull it off again with PS3!:heart: :heart: :heart:

[Antonello Blueberry]

First Superman now Indy? Who's next? James Bond?
Indiana is in the right age to be a grandfather, and given the high number of women he probably had sex with, it's easy that at least one of them had a child.
And Godzilla and King Kong had sons, too.

[Cinemaman]

First Superman now Indy? Who's next? James Bond?

Actually JB has already had the same situation, and I must admit that Casino Royale was the best Bond film I ever saw ;)

Well, your "case" is full of holes. Rocky is a serious movie, while Indy is a fast-paced action serial. To give Indy a son is to slow him down and put too much emphasis on the character instead of the crazy situations he is supposed to be facing. Its one of the problems that heavily bogged down Last Crusade. So you can't compare damn Rocky to Indy!

And when did you see Transformers to be able to tell his character is relateable? I guess you haven't seen any Michael Bay films because characterization is not exactly his strongpoint at all.

As far as your off topic rant about PS3, sorry but you're probably wrong. Sony botched that system up long ago. They're sitting on shelves collecting dust while the Wii can't stay on the shelf for an hour. People come in and ask about Wiis or buy X360, or they return their PS3s and buy a 360 (hey, you can buy a Wii AND a X360 for the cost of a PS3. Sorry, but most intelligent people aren't going to shell out $600 for a Blu-Ray drive with a game system attached to it, a game system that isn't much better than the much cheaper 360.

You're so sure of that yet you can't give a reason why the Wii will screw up. Ummmm ok. :whatever:

[Hunter Rider]

I wouldn't say Rocky was anymore serious than Indy and Short round didn't slow Indy down and he was actually a kid,Shia will be of an age to help his father not hinder him and The Last Crusade was not in any way bogged down by his father IMO

:huh:

Are you serious? Rocky is a drama and Indy is an action-adventure movie. Rocky IS a more serious movie! Indy is a throwback to those cheap B-movie serials.

Short Round also wasn't Indy's son, so that comparison isn't very valid. Short Round was an adventurer just like Indy, and I feel Temple is a better movie than Last Crusade by miles because it too captures that B-movie spirit with its terrific action and impeccable set design.

And I didn't say Last Crusade was bogged down by his father, it was the whole writing of the movie. Too tongue-in-cheek and full of Jar-Jar esque humor, plus they dishonored the characters of Sallah and Brody.

[SolidSnakeMGS]

So basically you're saying that you know better than Lucas, Spielberg and Ford what an Indiana Jones movie is and should be?

Um, no I'm not.

Let me play your game. So you're saying just because it's Spielberg, Lucas, and Ford that they know exactly what they're doing and the film will be perfect and there's no way they can make mistakes or make a bad film?

[Hunter Rider]

:huh:

Very much so,Rocky is pulp boys own good guy everyman wins the day fiction,only the first comes close to being remotely serious

It is valid in that it is a young sidekick,whose to say his son won't be an adventurer like his father ? you are making a lot of assumptions early on without knowing how the character will be written

Lucas can make mistakes and the prequel movies are there to prove it.
Spielberg makes few mistakes. And they had this movie in development for years so maybe they thought that a son could bring interesting dynamics to the story. How does an adventurer, someone who cannot commit to relationships, deal with a son?
And another couple of things:
1) Short Round in the Temple of Doom was a surrogate son.
(I never thought about it, but Short Round is the Ebony White of Indiana Jones)
2) The Mummy 2, which stole a lot in term of tone from the Indiana Jones movies, had a child and didn't suffer too much for it.

[Spider-Fan]

Indiana is in the right age to be a grandfather, and given the high number of women he probably had sex with, it's easy that at least one of them had a child.
And Godzilla and King Kong had sons, too.

I am not saying he isn't the right age, but do we need to give all our iconic characters kids now? I think it is unnecessary, and more than likely won't add much to the movie.

I'd call The Lost World and The Terminal mistakes. Steven can make them too, and like I said before he wasn't going to give this movie to anyone else, regardless of quality.

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Very much so,Rocky is pulp boys own good guy everyman wins the day fiction,only the first comes close to being remotely serious

Well, its your own opinion that Rocky and Indy are similiar in seriousness. And I disagree with it because its a genre difference. There are only 16 different themes a movie can use, so the whole "its just an everyman that wins the day" argument is pretty meaningless; its all about the tone, mood, and writing of the film that determines its seriousness.

Indy deals a lot more with fantasy elements, therefore it's serious factor right there is highly diminished. It wasn't meant to be serious, therefore it really isn't. Rocky is much more real world, thus more serious. It's pretty basic film knowledge and I am surprised you're having such difficulty grasing it.

It is valid in that it is a young sidekick,whose to say his son won't be an adventurer like his father ? you are making a lot of assumptions early on without knowing how the character will be written

Young sidekick =/= son. Totally different dynamic.
compared to willie Scott ?:huh:

She was the damsel in distress, the same as Marion. Only she was far more vulnerable and whiney. She wasnt nearly as good, but Temple itself was still a better movie than Last Crusade.

I grasp it fine thanks but how you can say there is anything remotely relaistic,real world or serious about Rocky 2,3,4 and 5 is beyond me,Rocky going to Russia to beat a superman and have the whole Russian audience turn in his favour and forget the cold war is as far fetched as findning the Ark



Young sidekick =/= son. Totally different dynamic.


Yes it will be more emotional being his son but that could well make it better,but the idea of having a younger adventuring sidekick is the same only this could have more depth

All of that is merely your opinion.

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I gotta give props to Ford, though. The man seems to have stood his ground on the whip thing. I cannot believe they wanted to use a CGI whip. I mean.....seriously....wtf? An oldschool badass like Harrison Ford would obviously be pissed about that.

[Speedball]

First Superman now Indy? Who's next? James Bond?
I can see Bond having a kid, but he's gotta be the bad guy. He's angry at his daddy for abandoning him and his mother.

[PSU442]

sorry to just jump in on the discussion but i'm getting frustrated with this film.... I have such little faith in Harrison Ford. Will he actually put an effort into this film? He hasn't had a decent performance since.... umm... Clear and Present Danger. I also don't like the kid route..... please don't force a new franchise on us. Bookend the old. With that all said, I think i would of prefered the part being recast. Oh well.

[Darth Nata]

There was always going to be a sidekick in IJ4. I'm not opposed to the idea but I would just prefer it if...

a) He wasn't Indy's offspring
b) He wasn't in his teens
c) He wasn't played by the annoying kid from "Constantine" and "I, Robot"


... so it looks like I lose out pretty hard here haha

I think it would be better if maybe the sidekick was a female student of Indy's in her mid-late 20's. That would make a good dynamic but in NO way make her a love interest. It would be cool if it was a father/daughter type relationship without her actually been his biological daughter.

When Natalie Portman was rumored for a role a while back I was kinda hoping that this is what they would go for.

And no matter what, your guranteed a good fight scene out of him.

People say he's uninterested in everything. I've seen interviews of his from way back when, and he seems the same. Only thing is now he's old. So, of course....he's just "losing it". I think it's bs.

[dpm07]

I'm definitely looking forward to the film. I'm really not crazy about throwing in the whole son element, but what's done is done.

[Hunter Rider]

i don't think this film has a good vibe going with the general public? thoughts?

I think the general public are barely aware there is an Indy 4 yet let alone having any opinion on him having a son

No that is the actor who won rave reviews for his performance in Recognizing our saints and who looks like this when not looking for a pic to deliberately make him look dorky

Annoying? I don't think so! He's done some good movies! If you want to hear more about what I had said about this LAST TIME, see my previous post on this topic. Also, I don't think Indy having a DAUGHTER will be much helpful whatsoever. A son could mean that he has someone to follow in his footsteps, should something befall our hero.

Shia Denies "Indiana Jones" Reports
Posted: Friday March 9th 2007 6:25am
Source: Assorted Sources
Author: Garth Franklin

For around a fortnight the rumour has been that actor Shia LaBeouf was attached to the upcoming "Indiana Jones IV", and yesterday morning the trades pretty much confirmed the reports.

Now the tables have been turned as last night at a Sony promotional event for "Surf's Up", LaBeouf says it's nothing more than an internet rumor than has run amok.

According to Collider, LaBeouf apparently not only stuck to the story on and off the record but also made it pretty clear that "he was done playing those types of roles" in regards to playing comic relief in blockbuster movies.

Would he deny it if offered though? The IESB says according to him "depends on what the script is about, he doesn't want to go in as just a sidekick character".

He also indicated that "Transformers" got an R rating, but a call from Spielberg to the MPAA asking for appeal eventuated into a PG-13.

[FaT_tONle]

WHo is gonna be the mother? Capshaw or Allen?

[Backdrifter]

Well, since ToD technically takes place before RotLA...Miriam would more than likely be the mother. But, who knows?

For some reason I see Indy dying in this one and Indy Jr (or Indy III if you want to get technical) donning the fedora and whip at the end. But, hopefully thats not the case. Hopefully, this movie never happens.

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Yes it will be more emotional being his son but that could well make it better,but the idea of having a younger adventuring sidekick is the same only this could have more depth

I have a feeling its not going to be that way. When you suddenly throw in a son, you throw in all kinds of required story elements, i.e. who's the mom, how does the son and father get along, etc., which WILL take away from the adventuring aspects of the movie, story, and characters.

To make it clear, I think its a bad idea to make an Indy 4.
I think this Shia Labouf guy is pretty goofy looking, and we all know Lucas is NOT reknown for his casting ability.
Indy 3 was a noticeable departure from the b-movie spirted homage that was the previous two, and as a result, not as good. The fourth can only further this, and I think this will only make the movie worse.

[Hunter Rider]

Snake ive edited part of your post and my own,if you want to argue the other issue with me then PM me and i will do it there so as not to derail this any further

As for your points on thsi movie,i feel the complete opposite but that is probably down to the fact we disagree on TLC so strongly

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Oh well. If you're going to use your powers to delete my opinion because you disagree with it, fine. I think it's pretty wrong, but there isn't anything I can do about it. I am out of this thread. Bye bye.

[Mr. Socko]

I like that Shai Labuff kid, he's cool

I'd rather the part go to me, but I suppose I'm a tad biased.

Don't be so childish,i didn't delete your opinion on this movie,i deleted all the pointless stuff abut Rocky as we were going off topic with it and invited you to PM me with it if you want to continue arguing about that matter.

[Bug-Eyes]

The Best way to to wreck Indian Jones 4

[Bug-Eyes]

The way it should be make and what should be included.

1. Bring back short round. Use the same actor

2. You got to have the Nazi's

3. Has to be something other than a religious artifact. You really cant top
The grail or the ark. (I think).

4. Let Indiana show his age (sort of, not 65, say 55)

5. You got to have Sean Connory & Rhy Davis

6. Use the same techniques they used for the original film (maybe use a High def camera, Maybe some Cgi stuff, but no CGI stuntman, Really it dont work that great yet)

[Fanticon]

how should it be make?

[Bug-Eyes]

how should it be make?
sorry Just edited my first post, to include that........my mistake

[Fanticon]

Toshay....well...if I see a CGI'd Indy...I will be very very very very very veryv very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very....oh you get the point...very disappointed. No matter how far special FX have come since the last movie...a computer generated Harrison Ford doing stunts will be a huge sin to the series.

[Sam Fisher]

George Lucas

[I_Hate_U_All]

Good question. I'd say adding too much bull crap cgi. That's really what took down the prequels beyond Lucas' horrible writing.

[I_Hate_U_All]

Great cinematography. I want some great stuff, done without computers to prove to all the Mummy's and the Tomb Raiders how real film making was done before CGI.

I hate Shia Labarf but if we must endure his pressence, make him actually stop being the cliche "geeky kid" character. It got old the first five films he played the character in. STOP.

Let Spielberg make 95% of all decisions and Lucas maybe 1%. The rest is Ford's.

Bring back the God of Film scoring, John Williams.

Oh and let me explain why I don't want Lucas making major decisions. The man had 19 years or so to come up with some great star wars stories, less time than he had to make the original trilogy. And he delivered some inferior mess that's only impressive for it's cgi and music, something lucas had very little actually involvement in.

[britrogue]

If they make my beloved Harrison look like some pathetic character, I shall NOT be happy!

[Hunter Rider]

bump for merge

[britrogue]

I can't bear the thought of a son taking Indy's place as the hero and basically reducing Harrison to the Sean Connery role. It'll be terrible.

[Avangarde]

TBH they really should have used the plot from the old PC game "The Fate of Atlantis". God that was a great game, and if anyone hasn't played it I suggest downloading an emulator for it.

[Spider-Fan]

Knowing Lucas, he will do all the above options to ruin the movie (to go with than more than likely bad script).

Cate Blanchett to Star in Indiana Jones 4!

Cate Blanchett has signed on to star in the fourth installment of the "Indiana Jones" adventures. With David Koepp's screenplay shrouded in secrecy, it is unclear what character Blanchett will play.

Harrison Ford already has boarded the project, which will be produced by Lucasfilm and directed by Steven Spielberg.

Shooting will begin in June in Los Angeles and at undisclosed locations around the world. Paramount Pictures will release Indiana Jones 4 (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=4665) day-and-date around the world on May 22, 2008.

Frank Marshall is producing, with George Lucas and Kathleen Kennedy executive producing.

Awesome!!!!

[Shifty]

Well she's in her late 30s so any romance between Indy and her character won't be too bad and she is a great actress. Watchmen and Indy 4 casting news, something to look forward to every visit at SHH!

[WorthyStevens]

I love this news. Cate's become one of my favorite actresses of today.

[Threshold]

I think it was one of the AICN'ers who stated that if you're going to try bringing in a son or younger companion who is supposed to carry some of the dramatic weight of the film... It'd be better to go with someone that has a little mystique to him. River Phoenix ripped it up in TLC, but in terms of Indy's son, depending on which direction the script takes the character, I'd like to see Emile Hirsch play the role or something. He could play all the lighter beats, but he's got those dark beats in him too and that's what being in INDY is all about.

As for Shia, I hope they he doesn't just reprise his Constantine/I,Robot style character.

I'm glad someone else notices how the guy played the same character in two different movies. Show some range! I've seen very young child actors with more range than him.

great choice in getting Cate Blanchett involved in this movie

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

^^^ I agree, no matter who she plays she'll be sweet (as in cool, not sweet as in charming, however if she plays a good guy, she may be charming).

Dibs on she's a baddie :up:

Shia is horrible... and overated, why the hell do they cast that assbag in every movie?

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Apologies, I thought you typed "She is horrible and overrated".

Meh I don't mind him

[Kent]

I can't bloody understand how making it a full blown comedy can actually get less votes than some of the alternatives. It should top the list.
Meh.

Awesome news! Cate is a fine actress and great choice:up:

I just don't like Shia, if he keeps this up he'll be the new Nic Cage.

Not everyone needs an indiana jones 4. But wait for the trailer and see what he's like, you'll probably see it anyway so it doesn't really matter what your opinion is, as long as they get your $12 ticket

I like this Blanchett news. She's gold. I'm not too keen on Shia landing the project though. He was exceptional in AGTRYS, so i'll keep an opened mind.

Exclusive: Shia LeBeouf Talks Indy IV!
And – do we have a title at long last?

Phew, it’s all kicking off over at Indy IV Towers, isn’t it? First of all came today’s news that Cate Blanchett has signed on to play an as-yet undisclosed role opposite Harrison Ford in the fourth Indy movie.

Then an email from an anonymous source dropped into Empire’s inbox this morning, which speculates that Messrs. Lucas and Spielberg may have finally settled on a title: it's all very unofficial at this point, but the current thinking is that the movie may wind up as Indiana Jones And The City Of Gods.

And, last but not least, our man at ShoWest, the big old exhibitor, erm, exhibition in Las Vegas, has reported back with an exclusive quote or two from Shia LeBeouf on his rumoured involvement in Indy IV/City Of Gods/Whatever It’s Called.

Now, if you’ve been keeping up to date, you’ll know that LeBeouf, who will soon be seen in the forthcoming Transformers, has been linked with the role of Indiana Jones’ son (would that make him Henry Jones III?), with some sources claiming that the deal was as good as done and dusted. But according to The Beef, that just ain’t so.

“I was rumoured to be in Superman as Jimmy Olsen, and I put a lot of eggs in that basket and I was really excited about it, so super-stoked,” said the 20 year-old actor. “Then it fell through. This is that same type of thing for me...”

Ah, but does that mean that there’s some truth in it? After all, for something to possibly fall through, the possibility of it remaining upright must first exist, non?

“It is a rumour, one that I might have started,” continued The Beef. “Who wouldn't? But at this point I don't have it and I'd be lying if I said I did. So it's a rumour, and maybe it's a rumour that's helping or hindering me. I don't know what the role is, I don't know if there is a role... but it's one of those things. It's just another rumour.”

Well, thanks for clearing that up, Shia. As for that rumoured title, it certainly sounds suitably Indiana Jonesy, and right now some of Empire’s finest brains are working hard to figure out if it’s a) genuine, and b) holds any clues as to the object Indy will be looking for this time around. We’re pretty sure that there is no connection to Fernando Meirelles’ classic, City Of God, though. Let the speculation begin!

[Catman]

City of Gods? woah! :eek: What is Spielberg and Lucas up to this time?!

[Hunter Rider]

City of Gods? woah! :eek: What is Spielberg and Lucas up to this time?!

I dunno but it's suitably Epic:hyper:

its not like they don't have hairdye.
and they can keyframe him to being young again, like in X3.

best news eva!

[Hoedowned]

I really like the casting of Blanchett. She looks pretty hot but she also seems mature enough so that Indy doesn't feel like a cradle-robber (assuming she's the love interest that is).

I'm not sure about LaBeouf...maybe it works, maybe it doesnt.

Oh, and The City of Gods is indeed the official title......of the Darabont script.

[William15]

I loved Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. My all time favourite PC game ever! For the people who haven't played it, search for it on ebay and buy it! As a kid I was so frustrated that Sophia died in Atlantis, when I could'nt save her from the prison, that I woke up one day and thought: ,,Miss Hapgood! I'm gonna save you!'' I loaded one of the files where she was trapped and tried every possible item on the bars and kept talking with Sophia till I almost went crazy and that's when it happened. I used some kind of wooden bar, stuck it under the jail gates and so I was able to release her. I can still hear the angels sing:,,Halleluja!''

Best game ever! I also heard that there was a comic book of it. Gotta look for it!

I hope this movie will turn out great, because I'm an Indy fan. Love all the movies, but I do hope that somehow he will fight nazi's.

Please adapt this (FoA) Story line >_<''

[Redwoods Wolf]

I liked Emperor's Tomb better, but that's only because I think it suits the movies' feel more. FoA is the more quality game.

That said, excellent work on casting Blanchett. I think she's good at adding a certain older, classier feel to a movie--probably the perfect counterpart to Indy's rougher nature.

[Dr. Fate]

Just making this film is a guaranteed train wreck.

Cate Blanchett to Star in Indiana Jones 4!

Cate Blanchett has signed on to star in the fourth installment of the "Indiana Jones" adventures. With David Koepp's screenplay shrouded in secrecy, it is unclear what character Blanchett will play.

Harrison Ford already has boarded the project, which will be produced by Lucasfilm and directed by Steven Spielberg.

Shooting will begin in June in Los Angeles and at undisclosed locations around the world. Paramount Pictures will release Indiana Jones 4 (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=4665) day-and-date around the world on May 22, 2008.

Frank Marshall is producing, with George Lucas and Kathleen Kennedy executive producing.

Awesome!!!!

Very surprising news since this is not the type of movie you'd expect her in. Great addition to the cast.

[FaT_tONle]

I hope Shia ain't in... ain't like he can carry his own franchise in the first place... what is he gonna do? Fight Soviets dancing to disco music in the 70's? I mean it would be like a bond movie almost... so I'd rather Indy be single with this finaly being it.

Nah... if they had to recast sign the best actor out there right now... Dicaprio can pull it off... go see Blood Diamond.... there are so many artifacts that have yet to be discovered... it could be a Bond series and you could recast every 3 movies or so... Harrison is just way to old for an action movie like this

I was talking about using him as a son, but I really really think Cillian looks more like Harrison if they ever did either a Indiana Jones or Han Solo prequel movie I want Cillian to be in it.

[Speedball]

^Cillian or Leo as Indy's son would be like a dream come true. I think everyone would be happy if that were to happen. Indy would be old enough to have a son their age.

[L0ngsh0t]

I wonder who cate blancett is playing

[Speedball]

I wonder who cate blancett is playing
Love interest...or Student...or both:wow:

Maybe like the know-it-all guide or something

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Maybe she'll play the last descendant of Jesus?
:wow:

[britrogue]

He so has! The man is 64 and he sure as hell does not look it.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Ford is in better shape than most people on this board..

Did anyone see firewall? his fights in that were amazing..he threw himself through windows and walls.

There is fight left in him for sure!

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

I'm not thinking that Harrison Ford is dead (firguratively, of course), but Indy is IMO.

I think that's most people's reasoning behind boycotting or complaining about this movie.

I guess I'm looking forward to it, but like the Star Wars special editions - this is just another excuse for more money

[SoulManX]

Didn't Indy have a daughter as older Indy with the patch.

[Avangarde]

Didn't Indy have a daughter as older Indy with the patch.

In the Young Indy movie series? I do remember he had a grandson.

So it going to be "Inadiane Jones and the Cockney Thug" (and I bet that gets filtered. I said Kockney)

[britrogue]

I'm getting so nervous about this project

[Sava]

damn... the casting for this has been great IMO, first Cate and now Ray :up:

[Hunter Rider]

I'm guessing he is gonna play the Sala role.

[Threshold]

Yeah MR. FRENCH!!!

[Cinemaman]

He is very good actor, I hope he will play Sala.

[Speedball]

I can't wait for this now.
Winstone is an awesome actor. Spielberg is really pulling together a top-notch cast.

[GREEN =w= DAY]

I'm guessing he is gonna play the Sala role.

i hope not

[Speedball]

i hope not
There are characters that can be created for Winstone.
I see him as maybe a fellow archaeologist, same as Blanchett.

[Pablo Parker]

why would he have to play Sala´s role...? Isn´t John Rhys-Davies coming back?

George Lucas on Indiana Jones 4!
Source: USA Today (http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2007-04-04-george-lucas_N.htm)
April 5, 2007


http://comingsoon.net/nextraimages/lucasindy4update.jpgIndiana Jones 4 (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=4665) producer George Lucas talked to USA Today about the highly-anticipated film, to be directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Harrison Ford and Cate Blanchett (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=19744#).

Lucas told the newspaper that shooting begins in Los Angeles this June and then it's on to several top-secret global destinations. Lucas teased that one will include a waterfall.

Lucas said that Ford's age (64) won't be a problem. "He's not running in any of the movies. He's either on a horse or driving a car or a motorcycle. And he'll play his age in this movie (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=19744#) with what's appropriate. The chases are more suspenseful than speedy. Like the rolling ball in the first film — it's not that he's running that fast, it's that there's a giant ball coming at him. And he will get beat up, which is a tradition for us."

Lucas, who also is in pre-production on a "bare-bones, action-heavy" "Star Wars" live-action TV (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=19744#) series, said there'll still be plenty of action in "Indy 4," the official title of which he hopes to keep under wraps until the first trailer hits theaters around Thanksgiving.

Sean Connery has yet to sign on as Indiana's father, Dr. Henry Jones, but Lucas said, "We're still trying."

It wasn't his idea to cast Blanchett as Ford's new leading lady, he added. "That's who my director (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=19744#) wanted, and I always bow to the wishes of my director," Lucas said of Spielberg. "I approved it because she seemed like a good idea. When I met her at the Academy Awards, I told her, 'Hey, you work for me now!'"

[Carmine Falcone]

I ****ing love Winstone.

[Catman]

Can't wait for the trailer during Thanksgiving!

[britrogue]

Well, there goes any ideas about Marian returning

[Carmine Falcone]

what year is the story supposed to take place in?

Now I can't wait till Thanksgiving...

"I approved it because she seemed like a good idea. When I met her at the Academy Awards, I told her, 'Hey, you work for me now!'"


I see Mr. Lucas is quite a ladies man, what an a-hole.

[hey yo its sean]

Yeah, what a dick. How dare you joke around with a member of the cast. The audacity.

[Threshold]

So... he won't run, or he can't run?

[Hunter Rider]

why would he have to play Sala´s role...? Isn´t John Rhys-Davies coming back?

I didn't mean actually play Sala i meant play that type of role,a larger than life sidekick type.

[SoulManX]

In the Young Indy movie series? I do remember he had a grandson.


When last seen in 1993 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993), a spry 94 year old Jones is living in New York City (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City) with his daughter and her family. Sporting an eyepatch and cane, he shows a predilection for stopping anyone within earshot, in order to regale them with tales of his exploits.

As seen in the original versions of 'The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles', Jones (in 1993 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993), at the age of 94) lives in New York City (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City), and has a daughter and several grandchildren. The exact age of the daughter is not explicitly mentioned; however given her appearance it seems reasonable to place her between 30 and 40 years old. For a 1999 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999) video release, George Lucas opted to completely remove George Hall's bookend sections from 'The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles', and consequently their canonicity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_%28fiction%29) (and that of Jones's daughter and grandchildren) has become unclear.

Oh dear, has there been some really disturbing news about it recently? Haven't got time to scroll back through all the posts, at work and just popping in.

[AssMan]

Although it's been rumored for weeks now, USA Today has confirmed that Disturbia star Shia LaBeouf will indeed star in Indiana Jones 4. He's joining Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett and Ray Winstone in the cast.

The newspaper says LaBeouf has been the subject of speculation as an addition to the sequel's cast but was forbidden by director Steven Spielberg and producer George Lucas from revealing it until now.

"Up until about two weeks ago, it was little more than a rumor," he said. "Literally, when I was saying, 'I don't know anything,' I didn't know anything. It was an act of faith. I have not read a script. I don't think anybody has."

Spielberg said, "Shia has extraordinary range. I think of him as 'the young man for all seasons."

Will LaBeouf play Indy's son? "I can tell you I'm sort of the sidekick character, obviously," he said. "I'm sure there are a lot of laughs at my expense, and some kind of creature crawling on me."

LaBeouf added, "It's not going to be Short Round, all grown up," a reference to the fast-talking little kid from 1984's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

The fourth installment starts shooting this summer for a May 22, 2008 release. LaBeouf provides his voice for Sony's Surf's Up on June 8 and next appears in Michael Bay's Transformers on July 4

If there is a Spider-Man 4 Shia will be casted as Peter Parker's new best friend. If there is an X-Men 4 Shia will be the new mutant character the movie focuses on next to Wolverine. If Jurassic Park 4 really happens & Laura returns Shia will be casted her son & even if Laura does not return Shia will still somehow be casted. I will be surprised if Shia is not casted as Ricks son in The Mummy 3.

Its Even Stevens, damn it! Secondly, why do you call him a kid? He's 21. You're probably the same age or younger than him!

[FaT_tONle]

21 is still kid territory... I still consider myself a kid... 25 is when you must officially be recognized as an adult by everyone... then again I haven't watch anything this guy has done... they might have well just casted the dude from Harold and Kumar as short round... I don't care either way... as long as it isn't Indy's son I can live with it...

You're just jealous you didn't get any of the jobs he got


You take things way to seriously that was not meant to be taken seriously. Breath in & breath out & learn not to take things to seriously.

Not to keen on Shia either, but you gotta give the kid credit, he's not bad and he does kinda look like something Spawned from Ford's loins ;)

Sallah Not In "Indiana Jones IV"
By Garth FranklinMonday April 16th 2007 7:15am
'deciph3r' had the chance to talk to Johnathan Rhys-Davies at the Armageddon Pulp Expo in Christchurch, New Zealand over the weekend and confirmed his "Indiana Jones IV" non-status:

"Seems he has not been asked to be in Indy 4 or even approached about it.

From the little information he had about the film he had been told through a third party that the character of Salah had been written out of Indy 4 in favour of a younger cast."

Damn, that just...well sucks. Davies, better known as Gimli from "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, played the lovable rascal Sallah in both the original "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and the second sequel "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade."

[raybia]

If there is a Spider-Man 4 Shia will be casted as Peter Parker's new best friend. If there is an X-Men 4 Shia will be the new mutant character the movie focuses on next to Wolverine. If Jurassic Park 4 really happens & Laura returns Shia will be casted her son & even if Laura does not return Shia will still somehow be casted. I will be surprised if Shia is not casted as Ricks son in The Mummy 3.

Don't you realize that Shia will be recieving an lifetime achievement Oscar in the year 2057 which will add to his collection of 3 oscar wins and 7 time nominee?

In fact I cannot wait for the Godfather remake starring Deniro as Vito and Leonardo as Sonny and Shia as Michael. Wow!

[SoulManX]

[FaT_tONle]

Nazi's are gone dude... it takes place in the 50's.... Soviets seem like the obvious fit... but I will miss those damn Nazis believe it or not... gotto give SHia credit though... saw Distrubia... kid's obviously got talent... but dropping Salah and possibly Allen and Capshaw (not having the previously rumored cameos we thought they'd get) being replaced by Blanchett is terrible news... I hope they know what they are doing

Supposedly the new title is Indiana Jones and the City of Gods.

From the ever-trusty Aint It Cool News:

george lucas produces and steven spielberg will direct this big budget 4th installment of the action adventure franchise. harrison ford will play the renowned archeologist and expert in the occult at his own age (64)."

Here's hoping its just a rumor and the film never gets made.

[The Kid]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

HOLY TOLEDO! DOCTAH JONES!!!!

This will be the best jones ever.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Well it's getting made whether you like it or not.

But good lord - 64?!

[Hunter Rider]

Great news on Karen Allen and the title if true,can't wait for this movie and it IS getting made:up:

[Golgo-13]

Wait, i know Ford is 64, but the way that post 675 read, it sounds like Indy will be 64 in the movie also? :confused:

If this is true, then that doesn't fit the Indy timeline because in the beginning of of TLC he was 12, and that was in 1912. I figured out Indy's age from an ep of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, so basically Indy was born in 1900. I hope they don't ignore this continuity because in the Indy Chronicles, as an old man, Indy has a daughter.

[Golgo-13]

Btw, i hope they keep the same old Indy 'punching sound effects' in the new movie. I love the sound when someone gets punched in an Indy movie, it sounds like their face is being smashed!

[Fanticon]

anyone read that article about Frank Darabont speaking out against Indy 4? Calling it a "disaster"? That was very early on in the drafts, but it just sounded like he didn't want to have anything further to do with it. I bet it was the pressure.

shia lebouf and ray winstone are in the cast. I am definetly gonna she it now.
They gotta bring back John Rhys-Davies as Sallah too.

[FaT_tONle]

Indy isn't gonna be 64 cmon... he was like in his 30's in TLC... I doubt that rumor is true... plus Salah is most likely out so I don't buy it... and we haven't heard anything on Allen coming back... anyways... it will probably take place in the 50's

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

In The Last Crusade, which was made in 1989, he would have been 47.
Now, Indy 4 will be released 2008. Add 19 years to 47.

56.

Unless I suck at maths :confused:

"The Shawshank Redemption filmmaker Frank Darabont has hit out at movie mogul George Lucas for preventing Steven Spielberg from shooting his script for the upcoming Indiana Jones sequel, claiming his efforts were "a waste of a year." Darabont wrote a screenplay for the highly-anticipated movie, which is still known by its working title of Indiana Jones 4, and insists director Spielberg was happy with it. However, producer Lucas didn't think it was good enough. Darabont tells MTV.com, "It showed me how badly things can go. I spent a year of very determined effort on something I was very excited about, working very closely with Steven Spielberg and coming up with a result that I and he felt was terrific. He wanted to direct it as his next movie, and then suddenly the whole thing goes down in flames because George Lucas doesn't like the script. I told him (Lucas) he was crazy. I said, 'You have a fantastic script. I think you're insane, George.' You can say things like that to George, and he doesn't even blink. He's one of the most stubborn men I know." He adds, "I have no idea if there's a shred of (my script) left. It was a tremendous disappointment and a waste of a year." And Darabont has no plans to reveal what his Indiana Jones script contains: "At this point, I don't give much of a damn what George thinks, but I wouldn't want to harm my friendship with Steven."

After what he has passed off as writing recently, I find it funny George thinks he can judge ANY piece of writing. Yet another reason why I can't believe this whole Indy 4 charade is happening. Lucas needs to stop making creative ideas and just start giving money away to those that are capable of it.

And do the sum yourself.

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Indiana Jones was supposedly born in 1899, so he would be playing a 39 year old in Last Crusade, which was filmed 19 years ago. Now there was only 2 years difference between Raiders and Last Crusade, the former taking place in 1936 and the latter 1938, when in reality, 8 years had passed between the making of the actual films. Temple as most people know is a prequel, taking place in 1935.

With there being a 19 year difference between the making of Last Crusade and this supposed new movie, they can't exactly skip just a few years ahead on the Indiana Jones timeline. The older the main actor gets, the harder it is to do that.

Look how old the guy looks. Whats the point of this movie if theres no way you can buy into Indy being able to do the things he use to be. I don't care what some of the kids on this forum say; the movies were about the adventures of Indy, and how he dealt with them. They were never supposed to be anything other than big budget b-movie homages and Last Crusade diverted from that path, making it the worst in the trilogy.

Speilburg should have stepped in and settled this, if, he really thought the script was that good. Goes to show that Speilburg is nothing more than George's lackey. Lucas has proving he can't write worth a **** with the SW PT.
Anyone know who actually wrote the draft of Indy 4 that's about to be shhot.

Shia LaBeouf: How I'm Getting Buff for Indiana Jones

MONDAY APRIL 23, 2007 05:00 PM EDT
By Aaron Parsley
Shia LaBeouf Photo by: Kevin Winter / Gettyhttp://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2007/news/070507/shia_labeouf180.jpg

Shia LaBeouf has gained 15 pounds – and he's happy about it. The Disturbia actor is beefing up to star in the new Indiana Jones movie alongside Harrison Ford. "The guy is still in premium shape," LaBeouf tells PEOPLE. "You don't want to be standing next to Harrison Ford and not be jacked also."

To get there, the Los Angeles native, 20, is working out seven days a week for three hours a day. "I'll run for an hour and then I'll do two hours of weights," he says. "I have definitely not trained like this for anything in my life. I'm preparing like I'm going into battle."

He's also on a "protein-heavy, carb-heavy" diet. "I drink protein shakes nonstop – three or four a day – and I run a lot, so you get rid of the bad carbs and keep the rest so you have the energy to make it through," he says.

LaBeouf talked to PEOPLE about his recent breakup, making out with costar Sarah Roemer and what it's like to be an "It" guy.

You must be very disciplined to keep up such an extreme diet and exercise regimen.
It's not like I'm making the Nutcracker play at my school. This is film history. I don't just owe it to everybody involved in the franchise – I owe it to everybody who's ever been a fan of Indiana Jones. I realize how important this is.

Do you feel a lot of pressure when it comes to this role?
Extreme pressure. You don't want to be the edition that sucks. You want to be in the edition that enhances it, so it's tough. This is 20 years in the making now. The script has been in development for 15 years. It's a huge project and you treat it that way.

Indiana Jones 4 Script Includes Sean Connery
Source: Reuters (http://www.reuters.com/article/filmNews/idUSN0323885020070504)
May 4, 2007


The San Francisco Film Society honored George Lucas on Thursday and the "Star Wars" creator talked to Reuters about starting Indiana Jones 4 (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=4665) and whether Sean Connery would be back:

Lucas said he is ready to begin work as a producer next month on the fourth installment of the Indiana Jones film franchise.

In a brief interview, he said veteran actor Sean Connery had yet to agree to reprise his role as Indiana Jones' father.

"We have a script with him in it," he said. "If he doesn't do it, we'll do a quick rewrite."

The fourth installment is targeted for a May 22, 2008 release.

I prefer it that way anyway. Too much promotion can give you false hope. Take X-Men The Last Stand for example

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. This is gonna be one of those flicks... Any other movie and this wouldn't be a big deal, but ever since this small article from the New Haven Register hit today we've gotten tons of email about it.

I guess it's just proof that this movie is actually getting made after all this time, something solid. The article doesn't really contain any new information other than there will be a car chase in the film. You had to figure that we'd see a chase of some sort in the flick, right? But now we know for sure and there are even some pics of the street it'll film on and some conversation with the local shopowners on their talks with the production.

So, car chase confirmed. 1950s aesthetic confirmed. Take a look at the article by clicking the link above to get the full story!!

GREASE IS THE WORD FOR INDY JR.
05.20.07
By Devin Faraci
Contributing sources: Belloq
A source close to the production of Indiana Jones IV (still, as far as we know, unofficially called Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods, but more on that later) has divulged some information to us about the film’s shooting locations, opening set piece and what kind of a character Shia LaBeouf will be playing.

According to ‘Belloq,’ Indy IV is going to be shooting outside of Los Angeles, in New Haven, Connecticut, in New Mexico and in Hawaii. ‘Belloq’ also tells us that the opening action scene of the film will pit Dr. Jones against Russians agents in Area 51 – which is interesting, as this is a major similarity to the Frank Darabont draft that confirms my belief that much of what was in that script has made its way into what will be filmed this summer.

One thing that is different from Darabont’s draft is the addition of Shia LaBeouf’s character; ‘Belloq’ tells us that LaBeouf is going to be playing a greaser, wearing jeans and a leather jacket and riding around on a motorcycle. He also says that Indy and Shia will be thrown together in this adventure but will not learn they’re related until a pivotal action scene.

I’m holding back some details, but from what ‘Belloq’ tells me, and from my own quick reading through the Darabont draft, I would say that the main storyline remains roughly the same – it involves crystal skulls and takes its cues from Chariots of the Gods. Interestingly, there have been rumors of a video game tie in being released next year with the title Indiana Jones and the Staff of Moses; I checked with other sources and while I can’t confirm anything, this seems to be a stand-alone adventure and does not reflect the title or storyline of Indiana Jones IV.

Take all of this with caution: my sources are legit, but none of them have their hands on the latest script, and there is still tinkering going on. However, I do believe that it’s too late in the game to change the main storyline, so I feel pretty confident that we’ll see Indiana Jones in South American temples and involved with aliens.

[Hunter Rider]

I love the sound of that opening set piece and the crystal skulls but i'm not sure i like the idea of Shia being a Greaser:dry:

[green]

would hurt Lucas and Spielberg to leave the Aliens alone every once in a while :whatever:

[Antonello Blueberry]

Indiana Jones will be caught in the middle of a war between ET and JarJar Binks.

[Shifty]

If this was lifted from Frank Darabont's script and he had a nervous breakdown when Lucas turned it down and said it was his best written script then maybe the aliens thing won't be so bad. But c'mon religious artifacts with Soviets, not made up aliens.

[Hunter Rider]

Aliens:huh:

It's an interesting twist on the usual religious mysticism imo

AND INDY'S BABY MAMA IS...
05.21.07
By Devin Faraci
Contributing sources: Belloq
The Indiana Jones IV information keeps rolling in (read last night's revelation of Shia LaBeouf's character and the film's plotline here), thanks to ‘Belloq.’ Our idol-theiving source confirms rumblings I’ve heard from other quarters (and frankly, from common sense): Karen Allen will be reprising the role of Marion Ravenwood in Indiana Jones IV, and she’s going to be Shia LaBeouf’s mom. And you’ll recall that Shia is Indy’s son. You do the math.

My sources tell me that this is a done deal, but Paramount offered no comment when contacted. It makes a ton of sense, though, as Karen Allen remains the iconic Indiana Jones love interest, and I’m sure Spielberg and company had no problem in securing her for the duration of the shoot. My sources have not been able to reveal how much time she gets in the movie, though.

There may be more stuff in the days to come, depending on what I can confirm, so keep a watch on this site. And by the way, I don’t have a copy of Frank Darabont’s script: I was allowed to read a printed version, but had to return it when I was done. And to be honest, if I did have it on pdf I wouldn’t send it to you guys, so you can stop emailing me and asking for it.

[Darth Elektra]

Aliens:huh:

Aliens? Greaser? Umm... can't say anything, I think I need more details to make sure that it's either good or bad.

Ditto.

[green]

Here's a bit about Chariots of the Gods.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chariots_of_the_Gods%3F
Chariots of the Gods?: Unsolved Mysteries of the Past is a book written in 1968 by Erich von Däniken. It is centered on the theory that many ancient civilizations' technologies and religion were given to them by space travelers who were welcomed as gods. The types of evidence he cites can be categorized as follows.

Artifacts have been found which represent higher technological knowledge than is presumed to have existed at times when they were manufactured. Von Däniken maintains that these artifacts were produced either by extraterrestrial visitors or by humans who learned the necessary knowledge from them. Such artifacts include the Egyptian pyramids, Stonehenge, the head statues of Easter Island and the Antikythera mechanism. Further examples include a medieval Turkish map known as the Piri Reis Map, allegedly showing the Earth as it is seen from space, and the Nazca lines in Peru, which he explains as landing strips for an airfield.

In ancient art throughout the world themes can be observed which can be interpreted to illustrate astronauts, air and space vehicles, non-human but intelligent creatures, and artifacts of high technology. Von Däniken also points out details that are similar in art of unrelated cultures.

Origins of religions as reaction to a contact of primitive humans with an alien race. The humans considered the technology of the aliens to be supernatural and the aliens themselves to be gods. According to von Däniken, the oral and literal traditions of most religions contain references to visitors from 'stars' and vehicles travelling through air and space. These, he says, should be interpreted as literal descriptions which have changed during the passage of time and become more obscure, rather than symbolic or mythical fiction. One such is Ezekiel's revelation in Old Testament, which he interprets as a detailed description of a landing spacecraft. As a real-life example, von Däniken uses the "cargo cults" that formed during and after World War II, when once-isolated tribes in the South Pacific mistook the advanced American and Japanese soldiers for gods.

I can see how the idea could work for Indy...sorta.

[AssMan]

So Even Stevens is going to be Indiana Jones's son :o

[GREEN =w= DAY]

i can't wait for this movie!!!!!!!

[britrogue]

I don't like the idea of Indy having a son.

Indiana Jones IV Villain Revealed!
Written by Robert Sanchez
Thursday, 24 May 2007
With all the Indiana Jones news flying around we were feeling a little left out so we decided to share some news that has come across our desk. Spoiler Warning!

First, let’s confirm some details that Crud.com and other sites have posted.

Contacting various sources from different levels of access to this film we can confirm most of the recent news that has hit the web.

The news that Karen Allen would be back as Marion Ravenwood is accurate and truth be told, a few online sites had been sitting on this information for close to a month, no real shocker.

Shia Lebeouf is a teenage motorcycle riding greaser, true.

Shia LeBeouf is the son of Marion Ravenwood and Indiana Jones, true.

Indy doesn’t find out about being a daddy until after he and Shia have been teamed up for a while and during a pivotal scene, true.

Movie takes place in the 50’s, true.

We will see Area 51 and Russian Agents, true.

South American Pyramids/Temples, true.

Crystal Skulls, true (13 skulls to be exact)

The current script is a hybrid of scripts including Frank Darabont’s version, true.

The title of the film is Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods, maybe, it sure is the working title but we have been told the real title may involve something about the 13 crystal skulls.

One major question remains, who’s the villain? Let’s take a look at the villains from the past Indiana Jones films before we blow our load. Spoilers Ahead!

Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark we had Dr. Rene Belloq and those pesky Nazis.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom we had Mola Ram and his followers.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade we had Walter Donovan and, again, Nazis.

So who will be a villain in Indy IV? Well kiddies, while most people have been assuming that Cate Blanchett will be Indy’s love interest since the announcement of her addition to the cast, several of our sources have revealed that she will actually be the villain in cahoots with the Ruskies.

Can these details change? We have been told that all major story beats have been locked and only minor changes can be made at this time.

I would stay close to the web during the next upcoming week as I have a feeling that more of Indy’s secrets will be revealed.

No time for love for Dr. Jones this time around!

Stay tuned to the IESB as we bring you the latest news.

Blanchett? a villain? i am so there! :up:

If Indy 4 is at least as good as Indy 3, Spielberg will be again "the man, who could do that"! :up:

If it's not, well, nobody will be sureprised.

[Steelsheen]

yeah Spielberg kinda hit a rut lately, somehow he lost his magic.

maybe that's what he's trying to recapture: he's doing an Indiana Jones movie and he'll be bringing a "live animation" version of Rin Tin Tin to the big screen.

Spielberg's still lightyears ahead of most directors but it's true he's not been the same all-star player he used to be.

This movie might just be a gift from the old spielberg still young and hungry inside the new older, less hungry one. maybe.

I will watch this flick no matter what. It will either look great or look like ****. I'm watching this regardless. I need to see if they can still pull of an Indy flick.

Plus it has Ray Winstone who I rank pretty high in my ''most awesome actors ever'' list.

I don't think it's time for Speilberg to kill one of his classics yet...I foresee great things from this movie...hopefully.

I think it will be good, but I'm pretty sure it'll be a very different kind of movie. It's not going to feel like part of the original trilogy, namely due to the 50's period setting but hopefully the spark is still there. It'll be interesting to see how the post-schindlers/"pessimistic" spielberg handles an Indy movie....

Spielberg's "War of the Worlds" was a horrible movie,with Dakota Fanning screaming every second and Tom Cruise's presence just making you sick,but hopefully this movie will be the movie that has Speilberg making great movies once again.

please, WOTW was great except for the s**t ending, the guy also made Munich. That was another great film. People keep b**ching about CGI but Spielberg is one of if not THE best at using CGI. WOTW had amazing CGI and that movie was done in like 3 months for f**k sake.

[Hunter Rider]

I'm not gonna debate the recent Berg movies but what i do think is that Indy 4 will be a chance for Spielberg to rediscover his sense of fun after a period of dark movies

[The Amazing Lee]

The terminal was :down

But I haven't really seen any of his other movies of late...

Got to agree there, Spielberg is the worlds greatest director.WOTW was a fantastic movie i loved the fact he concentrated on the Family and not the pending extinction. and when the pods were on screen my god there were FANTASTIC!.

and he didn't over use them..they were there when he needed to show them, not because he wanted more money shots.

terminal was lame, yeah. It's a 30 min tv episode stretched out to be a movie.
