Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Having the trailer with Spiderwick is bad. Didn't all the kiddy fantasies from this this time last year bomb?

As much as I would like to believe this will be good....Lucas' involvment scares me. Especially the fact that he insisted that he have script approval and rejected/re-wrote countless scripts. I hope Speilberg can reel him in...but I find Speilberg's friendship with him causes him to be overly apologetic for Lucas. I have a bad feeling that we are looking at a repeat of The Phantom Menace. Never-the-less, I hope I get to eat these words in a few months.

Man, really can't wait to see some footage of this film. Teaser, trailer, it doesn't matter I just cannot wait for this film because it's sure to be great alike recent sequels based off of films from the past like: Rocky Balboa, Rambo, etc. Great films with this one being no exception

Hopefully Lucas has enough trust in his friend to consider his ideas as well.

But I do remember seeing a Phantom Menace featurette where Speilberg visits the set and basically everything Lucas said was followed by a huge compliment.

So yeah, it's a tad worrying.

30 January 2008

Paramount and Lucasfilm have provided us with a brand new, exclusive image from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which you can see below and which is printed in full in the new issue of Empire, on sale Friday, along with another new still of Cate Blanchett in action as Agent Spalko. We also spoke with producer Frank Marshall about the fourth film in the Indy franchise.

"This picture is locked," Marshall told us of the current progress. "Steven's pretty much done editing. And we're going into the phase with John Williams where he starts scoring the movie. He's really writing now and then we'll start scoring in February".

When asked where this movie sits tonally with the rest of the series, Marshall said: "I would say it's closest to the third one (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). It's all adults. I mean, you have the sidekick in Shia (LaBeouf), but you don't have a Short Round and I think the banter between the characters is as fun as it was in the third movie".

A new Last Crusade would be just dandy by us. When not discussing the finer nuances of Fassbinder or trying on Vulcan ears, we in the Empire office like to argue over which is the best Indy movie. There's currently a heated battle between the Raiders and Crusade teams.

One last piece of info: there will be an Indiana Jones Mr Potato Head. Greatest toy ever? Yes, readers, it just might be.
Update: Thanks to forum user morg1138 for poiting out that you can see the little spud here.

For lots more Indy inside news from Frank Marshall and more exclusive pictures from Indiana Jones and The Crystal Skull pick up the new issue of Empire, on sale Friday.

Lucas, Ford, and Spielberg all had equal say in script approval. Spielberg has autonomy over the actual movie. Lucas is pretty much a collaborator and financeer, nothing more.

Yes! Last Crusade! That's my favourite movie of the series

That is really awesome. Nice to see that Marion will actually be in on some of the action.

Love Indy, but Ford looks frail in the above pic. I mean, that rocket launcher looks like it's kicking Indy's ass just by him picking it up.

(Possibly fake) trailer description in AICN

Pretty vague, the only thing that really describes is the quicksand stuff that we already know is ther, and the rest sounds made up...

Sounds decent to me.

It's better to be ready

I'd like one of Indiana's head from the first pic in Indy's original post.

I do not get the hate for The Last Crusade. IMO, its the best one.

 

[GhostPoet]

The Last Crusade was my favorite.

Do it in the main thread. Merging.

 

[dark_b]

he already edited the movie?
i know that it is possible to edit the movie before the effects are ready. but wouldnt it be better to polishe the movie until the premiere.

Supposedly Speilberg likes to do at least 4 or 5 edits on his films before the final. Could just be refering to one of the first cuts.

I like Crusade way more then ToD, though Raiders is definitive. I'll be happy as long as Kingdom is entertaining. I'm not expecting it to be a Citizen Kane level film.
