July 28, 2007 - On July 26, 2007, Steven Spielberg offered a live greeting for San Diego Comicon fans from the set of his new movie, the highly anticipated Indiana Jones sequel. "I'm here on the set of Indiana Jones and the...," Spielberg said evasively as the audience laughed. "I'm just extremely pleased to be able to tell you that after 18 years we actually have completed 25 days of shooting. I never thought this day would come that I could actually sit here and say we're finally making another Indiana Jones movie."

"We're having a great time," Spielberg said of the production. "For the last ten or twelve years, I've made a lot of different kinds of movies, many of them films that I really passionately need to make for myself. But this picture, I promise you, I'm making for you guys and girls; this is really all for you. And we're back and we're all in good form," Spielberg said as the camera panned left to reveal Harrison Ford sitting next to him, dressed in Indy's traditionally disheveled costume.

Ford seemed genuinely excited to be working on the film. "It's a great pleasure to be back with Steven, back in the sweaty, dirty clothes that Indy always wears, and glad to be making a dynamite movie. I'm so happy about this movie and the people that we have in it." Turning to his left, Ford said, "I want to introduce my sidekick, the venerable, veritable Ray Winstone, who is my sidekick in this film." Spielberg added, "he also plays Beowulf in Bob Zemeckis' film."

"I play the good-looking one in that film," Winstone said. Ford responded, "he thinks he's playing the good-looking one in this film too". Pointing to Winstone's left, Ford said, "that's the good-looking one," indicating Shia Le Beouf, who sat in a '50s greaser leather jacket, rolled-up jeans and motorcycle boots. "I don't know what I'm doing in this movie," said Le Beouf as the audience laughed. "I don't know how I'm sitting with all of you. This is insane."

"You have a modicum of talent, young man," Spielberg complimented Le Beouf. "We're all here but a lot of other cast members are not working today, so this is what you get. There's just one more thing, if I could," added the director, and walked off camera. He returned with a folding chair, the back of which read "Marion Ravenwood." Karen Allen walked over and sat down in front of the four men. "Hi everyone," Allen said. "It's great to be here on the set of the new Indiana Jones adventure, and great to be back in the boots of Marion Ravenwood. I'm just thrilled to be working with Steven and Harrison and Shia and Ray, and so Comicon is getting the first peek of us all together as a family," she said with a laugh.

"We're a little older, a little wiser, a little richer," said Spielberg to the crowd. "But we're really happy to be here, and like I said before, this is all for all of you, and we're making this picture with every single one of you in mind. Every single shot, I'm always thinking, what's the audience going to think? So thank you very, very much, and we're out of here."

The lights raise as the sweeping Indiana Jones theme plays over the loudspeakers.

Dope [tentavive] title.

After seeing "Rocky Balboa" I would've said let this classic series saga sleep, but "Live Free Or Die Hard" has given me a new hope.

[jaybomb]

Rumors have been swirling about the identity of John Hurt's character in Indiana Jones IV, with speculation pegging him as playing either Albert Einstein or Abner Ravenwood. The Hellboy and Alien actor remained tight-lipped about his role during a recent interview.

In a chat with EmpireOnline.com, Hurt said, "Well, I'm not allowed to tell you about my character -- it's under tight control for good reason. It's not meant to be 'boo to you sucks' type of thing -- it's because it makes sense...and it wouldn't help you to know what I was playing anyway."


In related news, Slashfilm.com reports that a scooper sent them a Motion Pictures Association of America Title Registration Report, which apparently revealed six possible titles for Indy IV:

Indiana Jones and the City of Gods,
Indiana Jones and the Destroyer of Worlds,
Indiana Jones and the Fourth Corner of the Earth,
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,
Indiana Jones and the Lost City of Gold,
and
Indiana Jones and the Quest for the Covenant.

Time will tell which if any is the actual final title.

[roshiq]

I like the 1st, 3rd and 4th possible title.
But whaterver the title would be, the great thing is we are now sure that Indy is coming back next year!

Indiana Jones and the Destroyer of Worlds,

Since Shia let the pussy out of the pouch already, the official site has revealed that the next instalment of the Indiana Jones adventures will be called….

“Fuck Firewall, this is the real shit right here”.

Or not. No, according to Indy’s on-screen son and IndianaJones.com the film will be called “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”.

That’s kinda cool…. Albeit surprising, since it isn’t one of the many rumoured titles we’ve been hearing for months now. I do wonder whether Lucasfilm started up a few bogus excite email accounts and spammed sites with insider knowledge claiming to know the title of the next “Indy” film and that’s how all the “Indiana Jones and the City of Gods” rumours, and so on, started.

LaBeouf announced the title – obviously he was given the thumbs up – at the VMA awards, where he was either presenting an award, hitting on Rihanna, or plugging the film in-between pre-recorded performances.

And next year, we’ll find out what the heck this Crystal Skull is….

I remember the crystal skulls from an old episode of IN SEARCH OF...

From WorldMysteries.com

Thirteen crystal skulls of apparently ancient origin have been found in parts of Mexico, Central America and South America, comprising one of the most fascinating subjects of 20th Century archaeology.

These skulls, found near the ancient ruins of Mayan and Aztec civilizations (with some evidence linking the skulls with past civilization in Peru) are a mystery as profound as the Pyramids of Egypt, the Nazca Lines of Peru, or Stonehenge. Some of the skulls are believed to be between 5,000 and 36,000 years old.

Many indigenous people speak of their remarkable magical and healing properties, but nobody really knows where they came from or what they were used for.
Were they left behind after the destruction of a previous world, such as Atlantis? Are they simply ingenious modern fakes or can they really enable us to see deeply into the past and predict the future?

Much research is currently being done on the skulls. However, their origin is still a baffling mystery. They seem to defy logic. Everything that is known about lapidary work indicates that the skulls should have been shattered fractured, or fallen apart when carved.

Oh and I've seen one of the the sets tower over the hill at Universal City. I'll try to snap a pic of it this week:D

When will we see the first INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL trailer? Take it as a big rumor, but it looks like it'll hit with BEOWULF, which comes out in November.

Sure, that's a pretty obvious target... it's a big Paramount movie and Lucas dropped a hint earlier in the year saying the first trailer would hit around Thanksgiving... but rumor also has it that John Williams is currently working on the music for the trailer... New John Williams INDIANA JONES music... or a new arrangement of old John Williams INDIANA JONES music...

September 17, 2007 - Oscar-winning actor Jim Broadbent has revealed which character he plays in the highly anticipated forthcoming film, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

"I'm Indiana's academic colleague at Yale. I'm his friend and colleague -- there's a couple of my scenes to go."

This confirms earlier rumors that Broadbent's character will replace Indy's pal Dr. Marcus Brody, played in the earlier Indy films by the late Denholm Elliott.

[_____V_____]

Plot Revealed


September 18, 2007 - An extra in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has spilled the beans to the press about some major plot elements in the long-awaited sequel.

Ain't It Cool News has pointed out an article in The Edmond Sun wherein Oklahoman dancer-actor Tyler Nelson spoke to the newspaper about his bit part in the Steven Spielberg-directed film.

Please be advised that *****PLOT SPOILERS***** follow:

The paper says Nelson "plays a Russian soldier and dancer" in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. While the actor has only read parts of the script, he did reveal that "the Soviet Army was searching for a [crucifix] skull in the jungles of South America and Indiana Jones was searching, as well." (Crucifix skull? Perhaps Nelson meant to say crystal skull.)

The Russians force Indy to help them find the skull by targeting his ex-girlfriend Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen). Cate Blanchett reportedly plays a "Russian interrogator." For more of what Nelson had to say about the plot to Indy IV, check out EdmondSun.com.

In other news, Indiana Jones exec producer-creator George Lucas spoke to TVGuide.com about Sean Connery opting out of returning as Henry Jones, Sr. "In the beginning, he was just in a little bit of it, and I think with the strength of Sean Connery, people would've wanted him to go all the way through the whole thing, and the story really didn't work that way," Lucas explained. "And so I think there would've been some disappointment that [his character] dropped out partway through the movie. By having somebody else fill that role, you lose him without any regret, so to speak, even though we got a great actor to play the part. And I mean, he's not his father, so it's much easier."

Lucas added, "It's just a completely different character, so you're not invested in him in any way. The fact that that character, after the first part of the movie, isn't needed doesn't become a problem. Whereas I think with the scene we had, where [Indy] says goodbye to his dad, everybody was, 'Wait a minute! Isn't he coming back?' So in the end, I think it turned out for the best."

It's unclear if the new character that Lucas refers to is Jim Broadbent's character or John Hurt's, but we suspect it's Broadbent, who plays Indy's academic colleague.

Venue - Universal Studios in Hollywood, Calif.

Conversation - with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull director Steven Spielberg.

The filmmaker spoke briefly to journalists about the production, which he said was two days away from completion, and offered a few insights about the methods by which the film was shot.

According to Spielberg, he is shooting Indy IV on film instead of using digital video, despite producer George Lucas' encouragement to use the newer technology. The reason for this, Spielberg said, was because he wanted the film to remain true not only to its predecessors in the series but also to the original serials which inspired Indiana Jones' initial creation. Additionally, he said that the effects work was approximately 70 percent practical and 30 percent CGI, although the computer-generated work will be obvious (presumably backdrops and large set pieces).

Spielberg also confirmed that the Russians are the villains in The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which he said is accurate given the film's 1950s time period. He said that from the film's opening shot you can immediately tell who these villains are and why.

When asked about actor Shia LaBeouf taking over the mantle of action hero from his co-star Harrison Ford, Spielberg coyly said that LaBeouf has a lot of big things in his future. At the same time, he indicated that LaBeouf has to make multiple Tranformers movies before he can move over and take on the fedora and bullwhip of Indiana Jones.

January 30, 2008

There's just under four months remaining until Indiana Jones makes his highly-anticipated return to the big screen. And Frank Marshall, producer on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, says the movie is right on schedule, entering the final stages of post-production.

"This picture is locked," Marshall says in an interview available at EmpireOnline.com. "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."

Marshall goes on to compare the tone of the fourth film to Last Crusade. And speaking directly to the anti-Temple of Doom sentiment within Indy fandom, Marshall says flatly, "It's all adults. There is no Short Round."

The movie does have a sidekick, however, in Shia LaBeouf's character. We recently talked to LaBeouf about the excitement surrounding the long-awaited flick. "I'm just as anxious as you guys are," he says. "I haven't seen anything. [Spielberg's] just secretive with certain people. He's locked in a room, and then George [Lucas] gets his cut. It's not like, 'Hey it's Shia's viewing time.' I'll see it when the premiere happens."

That premiere should take place some time before Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull opens in theaters everywhere on May 22, 2008.

This is going to be AMAZING!

It's less than four months before Paramount and Lucasfilm unspool "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," on May 22, but the marketing campaign for the fourth installment of the franchise has yet to crack a whip and offer up footage from the pic.

There's been no teaser, no trailer, no Super Bowl spot; just a one-sheet and exclusive photos handed to magazines like Vanity Fair and Empire or posted on IndianaJones.com.

That comes as a surprise at a time when Hollywood is eager to start hyping its summer tentpoles a year in advance -- and when it's been 19 years since the last Indy adventure, "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade." First trailers for Par and Marvel's "Iron Man" and Warner Bros.' "The Dark Knight" bowed last summer, for example.

But when it comes to "Crystal Skull," Par and Lucasfilm have shown little other than a brief presentation of Steven Spielberg and his cast on set during Comic-Con last July.

That will change next week!

Par will attach the first teaser for "Crystal Skull" to fantasy pic "The Spiderwick Chronicles" on Feb. 14, with the spot to hit the Web shortly thereafter.

Reason for the delay is that the film only recently wrapped, so much of the material that would go into a memorable trailer just wasn't ready until now.

Awareness and anticipation also is already high for the pic, so producers didn't feel the need to show too much too soon.

"In the case of Indiana Jones, he's such a well-known character that it's not like you have to get out there and introduce something new," said Spielberg spokesman Marvin Levy. "You tailor the campaign to the material. We also want to keep a lot of the surprises. That's part of the fun."



So...who's going to book a ticket to The Spiderwick Chronicles with me?:D

[freddy69]

i cant wait until the new indy movie is out.i have seen all of the indy movies:)

Pre-buys of unreleased movies are back in vogue, and USA Network has landed a big one: Paramount and Lucasfilm's "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."

USA is buying not only the latest sequel but the first three entries in the series as part of an overall deal that could cost the network $40 million, depending on the box office racked up by "Crystal Skull" in U.S. theaters. (USA's license fee is directly tied to the movie's domestic theatrical revenues.)

USA and Par declined to comment on the deal.

Paramount won't be releasing "Crystal Skull" until May 22, but the deal calls for USA to get its first runs of the previous three -- "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (1981), "The Temple of Doom" (1984) and "The Last Crusade" (1989) -- in May as a marathon promotional vehicle for the new pic.

One reason USA was able to outbid its two main rivals, TNT and FX, for the "Indiana Jones" package is that all four movies are likely to play on both USA and its sister net Sci Fi Channel, with maybe even a run or two on its Bravo sibling. Paramount and USA are still working out the details of these extra exposures; USA is looking to amortize its license fee over at least three networks.

USA takes title to "Crystal Skull" in 2011, and during the course of the movie's multiyear license term, Paramount will get the right to sell a few runs to a broadcast net in a carve-out following USA's premiere group of runs.

I just got back from watching jumper (Which I now wish I didn't). It was the first time I've been to the cinema since I saw Die Hard 4.0 I think. But anyway, it was nice to see an advert for both Indiana Jones and the kingdom of crystal skull and John Rambo (Notice they're bringing back all the old characters back for one last movie.)
Looking forward to it!
