See Shia And Indy In Action!!
Merrick here...
Entertainment Weekly has posted a new image from INDY 4 featuring Indy, Shia, and some Russians fighting in a forest.
The first thing that popped to mind when I saw the image was the Speederbike chase in RETURN OF THE JEDI...which is either a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you look at it.
SEE FOR YOURSELF!!!

...but the forest doesn't remind me of Return Of The Jedi.
-
What's with the weird magnifying glass thing? It looks like Ford didn't put in his teeth for that shot. Oh well.
-
That last one was, at best, a complete mess.
-
I think not.
-
First question always asked by people: " Is Short Round in it?"
Second question: "Why not??" -
Crystal Skull is going to be a joke.
-
I'll be driving that joke into the ground, by the way.
-
...that TOTALLY reminds me of Return of the Jedi. or any other thing I've ever seen with a forest in it. Like the forest.
-
The trailer was fine....exciting and attractive to the mainstream crowds.
The only issue is...even if you cut the best trailer in the world...Short Round still isnt in it. -

Ford's Khakis, brown shoes, collared shirt, and fedora...
by bobo_vision
...aren't quite as badass as they used to be. Now it looks like an old man who dressed himself at Sears and is going to get the Lunch special at the Sears cafeteria.
-
What's Shia doing there?
-
Just make a thumbnail for a bigger picture like everyone the fuck else.
-
The sound was very temp, and the whole thing seemed awkward. I'm still pulling for the movie to be a winner.
-
No, wait, Romancing the Stone. Allan Quartermain?
-
Will show up at the end of the movie. Indy will finally have gotten the Crystal Skull and then he'll be surrounded by armed enemies.
Enter, Short Round, as he 'accidentally' sets off a booby trap and yells "I no touch nuthing Doctor Jones!"
Enemies then unload on Shorty(enabling Indy to escape), exit Short Round. -
It's more like a jungle. And forget Short Round. Indy sold him back in India for a ticket to the States.
-
...named Short Round?
Why does it have to be Sam Witwicky? -
That's not even Harrison Ford, its Jerry O'Connell painted old!
-
Can't wait.
-
Man, I loved the Too (insert stupid word here) movement, with Too Venomy remaining my personal favourite.This one is clearly looking too foresty, and it reminds me of the game V-Rally, which I used to play on my PlayStation. How big an influence will V-Rally be on this new Indiana Jones film? Who can say...
-
I'm there. Really.. what could go wrong ?
-
...I believe he's saying it reminds him of the speeder bike chase not just because they're in a forest but because they are racing parrallel to each other fighting back in forth.
-
Really? It reminds *me* of every action serial ever made in the thirties and fourties, which is exactly what an Indiana Jones movie should remind me of.
100% on target! Awesome. -
Tough to dodge AK-47's point blank.
-
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Veer away from their jeep so Indy can't jump over and take them out with the spray!
That would force Indy's crew to crash into the other side of the forest/woods/jungle/whatever to survive.......of course, they could then just go up, left, down, left to escape though.(oooh, but then there would be a scary graveyard!) -
and why is the speeder bike chase a bad thing it's one of the highlights of that movie don't get this? maybee that's a good thing!? depends how you look at it I guess?
-
Why is it that when they run a cliche into the ground on Fark.com it's funny and here it's fucking obnoxious?
-
Indy should just stick with fighting the Hulk. Hulk no like keeping up with the Joneses
-
Again, because it needs to be said.
-
I would never in two million... no, three million years have ever thought of Return of the Jedi if you had not mentioned it. Did Harry hire you to fill some quota? and do you get pick up for work in a shiny but short yellow bus?
-
Yeah...looks just like it.
Honestly, you're trying too hard, man. -
"That's not even Harrison Ford, its Jerry O'Connell painted old!" That's pricless. that's funny shit.
-
I hated the idea of bringing back Indy. I hated the idea of making him age. I hated the idea of aliens in Indiana Jones. I hated the idea of Indy having a son. But somehow the excitement of seeing Indy in action has me converted. Even the trailer, despite it's odd juxtaposition of scenes, was enough to get me on board.
-
And that's never a good thing.
-
NOTHING like speeder bike scene. Ugh.
-
Dudes relax, this is the Beard. This is Spielberg...not so much Lucas. The 'worst' Indy movie is 10X better than nearly anything released today and you know it!! We're in good hands, and this is gonna be one helluva summer!
Watchmen Cast Pix!!

in every related indiana jones picture i've seen, the guy looks like friggin' logan.
-
Throws the Ruskie face first into the tree and wrangles control. Leaving Karen Allen and Shia the Ewok to travel to the teddy bear village. (Anyone find it creepy that Allen looks better in her 50's than Fisher did at 25?)
-
Naaahh. Looks more like the mine car chase to me.
-
The Bourne movies have nothing on him. Years later and despite more technology most directors can't touch any of the Indiana Jones movies. It's actually a little sad.
-
that the reason why Marion has her back to the camera is because she's the one driving the car/jepp/whatever the fuck that is?
-
I can't even read! What an idiot I am...
-
I'm going to have to BITE my way out.
-
Btw: Kloipy, jpt, finky, occula & Co... reading your at-work Indy tb conversations has been quite entertaining. Almost as entertaining as this piece of last week's Indy "news": http://tinyurl.com/2rgxcu
Actually, I believe a TB about the continuum fingerboard and this poorly written article could have been a new funny exercise in insanity. -
Has anyone realized that Shia's character-"Mutt" is also a nickname taken from a dog? So will the next trilogy be "The Adventures of Mutt Jones?"
Was Marion being ironic when she also nicknamed her child after the dog like the father of her kid? -
Just because there are trees? PLEASE. Go put on your Underoos, and eat a Twinkie, you twit.
-
motherfucking Indy Jones.
-
That it’s not “hip” to like ROTJ, even though it contains some of the absolute greatest scenes of the original trilogy. You see, it had Ewoks, and they were furry and cute so that completely cancelled out everything else that was so cool about the film, including that insanely awesome speeder bike chase. I also keep forgetting that Raiders was the only good Indy film; the others sucked despite containing some of the greatest action ever put to celluloid. It’s the same thing with the prequels: a few wooden lines and some awkward acting here and there, a few goofy Jar Jar moments, and everything else about those films are completely cancelled out. I seriously wonder at what point so many people became this jaded, cynical, and full of their own shit. I used to get angry at this kind of nonsense but honestly, at this point, I seriously pity some of you joyless creatures. I’ve watched that trailer a dozen times and it gives me chills every time the music kicks in and Indy whips across the screen. I guess I’d rather enjoy than nitpick over CG pants or argue if the film looks “grainy enough.”
-
Won't somebody please think of the children!!
-
I guess they'll CGI that out as it appears to be happening when the cars are moving. Yeah its got everything in this image - looks just like the speeder chase from Star Wars, also if you notice in the Russian side mirror there's a T-Rex, in Indy's side mirror there's Willow, and on the horizon there's this kid on a bicycle with a turd with eyes on his handlebars, .... enough. Let's just past judgment went we see this on the big screen of what it reminds us.
-
WTF does that mean? Let me preface this by saying that box office does not equal quality. But "done" suggests at least some sort of failure on their part, beyond internet fanboy bitching. Revenge of the Sith made more than the last film, the entire prequels were at about 2 billion. Again, box office doesn't mean critical acclaim but those numbers don't happen if everyone thinks the last movie sucked. See The Matrix sequels. Spielberg? War of the Worlds made 5x its budget back, no matter what Tribble6969 happened to think about it. Neither of these guys are "done". And neither of them needed to leave whatever continent they own to do a movie that they didn't genuinely want to do.
-
...I'm not saying I agree but I see why he's thinking of the speederbike chase. You got two vehicles, side by side, with one character about to jump over to the opposing forces vehicle. It's not that hard to grasp.
-
On the image.
-
during a time of war, one boy-man tried to demoralize his own foreign invading forces by starring.. in lots a movies.
-
Blows me away when people freak out after seeing photos from the indy set. These ARE NOT frames from the flick people, they are still shots. People see Indy and Shia in the temple, it's too bright, they see this pic, it's too shiny. Jeez.
-
Indy jumped on a Nazi Army style vehicle, driven by guys in Khaki army uniforms and so in THIS movie he's gonna do it twice (at least). In the warehouse, and in the jungle! The creativity on display is just breathtaking.
-
Just watched Munich again yesterday. "Done??" Yeah, and my ass is gonna sprout daphodils.
-
...which would be lovely by the way
-
I have absolutely nothing to back this up, other than the fact that I am now a 30-something, soulless prick who hasn't felt any kind of joy in his life in 15 years...all I have now is this internet site where I ramble on and on about 'talentless hacks' and make predictions that careers are 'done' because they don't make movies the way I know I could if I ever left my parent's basement.
-
I love the Indy sequels, and have defended TPM for some nine years. I'm just not keen on ROTJ; in fact, I get the chills whenever I see any correspondence. (It ain't the furballs and muppets, either. It's the shitty acting and script.) But with Spielberg at the helm, there's not much to worry about. Prediction: Indy IV will be the second best popcorn movie of the summer, with TDK taking top spot.
-
You're right, that's so lame! It's like in Spider-Man where Spidey kept swinging from a web while fighting the bad guy! Get some originality! Or how Rambo always shot people. Please!
-
The answer to your question is several. Several dead horses. But I beat them with different sticks.
-

Still has douchey mag glass, but you can see it biginated. -
He shares the same horse with ringwearer.
-
Does it count if I "sing" while typing my posts?
-
This is not the Indy you are looking for. I know, that was FORCED.
-
It's a different unoriginal thing every time!
-
when an action shot from a new Indiana Jones film is released, and there is as much (if not more)commentary about "old" and "will suck" as there is giddy anticipation?
I'll tell you what kind...a vapid, bitter, Gen-Y, joyless, souless sucking black hole of a world. God, I miss the 80's. We weren't so willfully miserable back then. -
A movie can be fun, yes, even if it is regurgitated (as it was for many in Aliens) but the really good movies manage to be original, not just endlessly cannibalize.
-
The 80's were a rather booming time for the economy. The 2000's have been a decline. So people kind of resent having their pockets picked more than they did back then. And the uncreative mining of nostagia to trick parents into taking their kids (and using it as a mechanism for getting the kids hooked on Shia, the Action Hero of the New Generation) rubs a lot of people the wrong way.
-
And look, the turd he left behind looks like Jabba The Hutt, but not the good ROTJ Jabba, but the CGI prequel Jabba!! I can't wait for this movie to come out so all this nonsense can stop.
-
The kids in the 80's were being treated to these amazing, original movies, not cynical nostalgia mining.
-
The DP did a good enough job recapturing the old Indy feel. Looks over lit and too clean.
-
It's not totaly impossible, there's "The Seven Percent Solution" and "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead".
Though I admit, those are hardly mainstream. -
People today look back and think "cheesy", because they do not understand happiness in this emo age.
-
Didn't see your earlier post, but we're on the same page.
-
Perhaps you should tinfoil your windows to your house/apartment, and just watch 80's movies over and over. Just 80's though, cause then this way you'll think that Aliens is not a regurgitation and it'll be more "original" to you.
-
Goddamn May seems so far away.
-
but we've seen this setup in every one of the previous Indy films, so no big deal. Now, if Shia were getting crushed under a tire, I might have popped a boner.
-
Easily one of the stupidest web tools ever. They took the time to code in glare!
(Wow, I just kinda went Comic Book Guy.) -
Amen to that, brutha.
And NoDiggity, I think there is a strong argument to be made that the Indy Films(and the first Star Wars trilogy, as well) were, at their very core, "nostalgia mining". Taking a peek at any chapter of old Flash Gordon or Perils Of Pauline serials makes it obvious that they were hardly original. -
Mar 07, 2008 12:49:21 PM CST
Subliminal Jones, you're right that Indiana Jones and Star Wars.
by rbatty024
were taking from the past, but they were also making it new and exciting. Star Wars was combining The Odyssey with Flash Gordon, which is pretty fucking original, and Indiana Jones was making the old adventure serials less campy but still maintained a sense of fun. It's a world of difference between those films and today's direct adaptations. The only reason stuff like Transformers is being put on screen is because of marketing. It's a "known quantity."
-
I know it's a bit crap that that's what I'm focussing on, but seriously, has he been spliced with an alien being without thumbs?
Probably not. Just thought it was odd. -
Nodiggity will find any nook and cranny to call this a direct remake of Raiders, or rip off of previous themes/camera angles/costumes, etc. to validate his arguement.
-
this is obviously a fake, then.
-
Ah, those guys did a bang up job on that last Indy TB. The continum keyboard thing just, well...let's say that first I had to go look up what the heck it was Then I pondered its use in the movie for a bit...and still came up curious.
-
Damn I have to wait until May.
-
Why didn't they go back to the source (Wested) for the jacket? The interview with the costume guy says, "I was lucky to find a guy who could do the jacket..." Uh, dude. The guy who STILL DOES the ORIGINAL jackets is in England, you should have went to him. What an ass.
-
And the Indiana Jones movies sure didn't stop that bullet. Actually, as loathesome as TEMPLE OF DOOM is, it is arguably more original than CRUSADE. Unfortunately, it's original in a Howard The Duck sort of way (no surprise, since Lucas hired Katz & Hyuck to write it). Originality isn't the be-all-and-end-all. However, slavish point-for-point rehashing does tend to leave less room for originality. Yes, Star Wars and Raiders did look to the past, but they managed to do-it-up in a more modern style. They didn't make Star Wars look like Flash Gordon. They didn't insist that Raiders be filmed in black and white. The went for the Feel, not for bullet-point lists of inclusions. It was "What was fun about those old serials, what about them sparked out imaginations, and how can we realize the IMAGINATIVE vision those film's inspired?" not "We gotta make it be as much like those films as possible". Had they gone with the latter, Star Wars and Raiders would have been hideous, because a lot of those old serials were hideous.
-
That wasn’t directed at you. We all have our favorites. What annoys me is this constantly negative attitude directed towards anything that doesn’t fall under this supposedly sacrosanct umbrella of quality. (i.e. Raiders, Star Wars, Empire and everything else sucks.) It’s tedious and annoying.
-
The list grows longer and longer with every bit of news.
-
The bike chase.
-
Was the bike chase in Last Crusade "bad"? Sure, they're not of euqual quality, but how can having a similar "chase" be a bad thing? Especially if you enjoyed them the first time around?
-
Yet, let's praise some crap Kevin Smith films!
-
Mining nostalgia? I guess you thought that was a pretty clever comment but what you seem to forget is that the entire concept of Indiana Jones was about creating films that did that very thing; evoked nostalgia by emulating serial cliffhangers and films from the so-called “Golden Era” of Hollywood. The thing is, each Indy film was a pretty unique story unto itself and each film was almost entirely self-contained so I’m not sure what aspects of these films are redundant other than some action templates which usually get a fresh injection of creativity in Spielberg films. I think more than likely you made a comment that was foolish and premature and rather than simply retract it you’re making increasingly idiotic comments to argue a tenuous point of view based on a film you’ve seen two minutes of footage from. Good luck with that.
-
Based on the logic you've displayed in the Indy TBs. You've obviously got a problem with any film that you feel blatently retreads the exact same things as the film(s) which came before it. So you wouldn't be happy if KOTCS looked and felt just like Raiders. On the other hand, you also aren't happy when it departs too much fro what has been seen (and NOT seen) and done in the first three films. And anywhere in the middle of those two just blends two elements you already find disatisfying. So, no matter what this film is like, I'm afraid you'd have been unhappy with it just because it was made at all. my condolences.
-
The CG haters will be out in droves.
-
about what is being made today, and why. I work in theatrical marketing, and with the sheer amount of utterly worthless shit I am increasingly forced to promote on a daily basis, it's no wonder I'm not projectile vomiting hourly( as it stands now, it's one upchuck before lunch, and one at about 4PM).
-
"Indiana Jones Trailer # 2" for completion next week. So it looks like a new trailer is almost here.
-
So for a flick of this genre, this thing is going to have more stunt work and physical effects than anything like it this summer. But of course there will be CGI in it. Crusade was full of green screen stuff. I suppose the bad guy turning into a skeleton at the end was real?? .... You amy all attack me now.
-
...this kid has had nothing but the right attitude about the Indy flicks the whole time. Reverence, great fortune to even be involved. Kid's not a bad actor either.
The thing I find most amazing is how many people in here have already seen the entire movie. They must have, given the steadfast opinions they have about it. Only a fool forms an opinion on a movie he has not yet seen.
Okay, maybe second most amazing. The most amazing thing is that David Mamet made a freaking MMA movie starring Tim Allen. Shudder your windows kiddies, I hear the apocolypse a'comin. -
I'll get crap for this, but he's a better actor than Hayden Christensen.
-
that the infamous DiCaprio venom flowed from years ago. Mainly, geeks passionately despising an actor because women who wouldn't spit on them think he's cute.
-
Arguably. I found that I enjoyed watching "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" recently. There was retreading, there were elements included to make it seem Indyish, but, for instance, it all took place in Europe ... not a sign of Amazonian Jungles and Mayan architecture to be seen. And the characters spoke with conviction, and sounded passionately into the history they were exploring. It felt like the first movie, even if it was a lot dumber than the first movie. So I'm saying that it's possible that KOTC will be on a level with Crusade in enjoyability (for me) but from what I've seen (from the atrocious apathetic acting from Ford in the trailer) that this won't have that most important quality ... characters who I believe in, with the investment by the actors to make me care again.
-
Let's just say my place of work is surely a deluxe place to be employed.
-
Lucas loves the callbacks to earlier films ("I have a bad feeling about this"), so expect at least a scene where Indy runs toward the camera lens to a tight close up of his eyes, then a pullback reveal, which Speilberg will put a tweak in. Just like the whip/shooting scene in Raiders, echoed in Temple, will I'm sure be repeated here.
-
I was scanning through some of the Hasbro Indy toy pics, and saw something VERY INTERESTING. It was a toy of a rocket sled. Grey, had two large rockets on the back, had a chair with seatbelts on the front and ran on tracks. Had an Indy figure and a Soldier figure. NOW... here's where it gets interesting... There is a script out there on the interwebs called Indiana Jones and the Saucer Men From Mars - written by Die Hard scribe Jeb Stuart. Story by Lucas. The script is a disaster, but there is a part where Indy is at area 51 and gets in a fight with a solder on... YES... a rocket sled. The sled goes out to a nuke test site. Indy hides in a basement thing and a nuke goes off. The script as a whole was a disaster and had no crystal skulls, but the action scene was very cool and I guarantee you Lucas came up with that action bit and wanted to recycle it in the eventual film. What's cool about the teaser is it basically showed NOTHING and got people excited. Where's the Yale chase stuff? Boat chases?
-
I bet he's a commiee.
-
vin diesel is a better actor than hayden. shia is solid, he's got the same quarky personality in the movies he's been in, but it works for him. ya know, at least until he's 30.
-
WHAT?!?! Because there are trees?
Fucks sake. Seriously, you guys are really stretching it here.
What similarities are there in this ONE SINGLE image to that of the Speeder Bike scene, which Spielberg didn't even direct?
If it were a motorcycle chase through the thick of the jungle MAYBE. But it's two military jeeps on an OPEN DIRT ROAD. Honestly, the bitching has gone from ALMOST slightly understandable to pretty much embarrassing on your part.
You're a perfect example of what's wrong with film buffs these days. Nitpicking every little image you see and trying to come up with a way to say that this is going to suck before you even see it.
And as far as CG goes, there was really only one sequence with CG. The waterfalls were NOT CG... that's a real location. The car chase was CG but it would have been done with green screen back in the day, so I prefer CG in that respect. The only huge CG moment was that stone tower folding in. Stop blowing things out of proportion.
All you're doing is living a cynical life, convincing yourself it's going to suck to protect yourself from the disappointment we had with Phantom Menace. Spielberg and Lucas were the ones who gave you Indiana Jones in the first place. If I trust anyone to do a sequel right, it's them. Bitching about Crusade? Well, it wasn't Raiders but it had more heart and fun than nearly every blockbuster within a decade of it. -
I found the whole continuum fingerboard thing to be rather intriguing, finky. Hadn't heard of it before either. Sounds like an interesting instrument, though. Oh, and...sing a long just pillow talk...sing along: "A British tar is a soaring soul as free as a mountain bird...
-
Was looking for it but can't find it. If they use the scene as written in that script, it's actually pretty damn cool. You can find it at drews script-o-rama. You know what I wonder? How is this movie going to start? They always start with an action bit? Will it be a flashback? What?
-
a dictatorial word.
-
your mom knows all about my fist!

or just step in front of an oncoming bus.

"Don't bash it 'til you've seen it!" <--also said about Batman&R
by gibsonusa
Face it, sometimes you can see a turd coming a mile away. Movie Suckage can be determined by a preponderance of evidence as opposed to beyond a reasonable doubt.
This is a general statement not applying to Indy. This Indy movie actually looks GREAT to me. I'm just responding to people who blurt out the above generic phrase when movies like 10000 BC, Transformers, and Batman & Robin were on the horizon. -
as far as movies go. Get a new Indy in May, get a new Bond in November. Bond's gonna be awesome. Why are people freaking out of Quantom of Solace as a title? Chapter from a damn Flemming for god's sake.
-
None of this stuff excites me at all.
-
if only my energetic fist was ready to resist... I'd probably get out of the house more.
-
End scene.
-
I wonder if aliens will feature prominently as characters at the end, or an alien history will be what they feature. There are lego toys of skeletons with crystal skull heads. Interesting. And the lego temple as a statue on top that splits apart and has some death ray looking thing inside.
-
(who plays Short Round) looking at the screen.
"WHY AM I NOT IN THIS MOVIE??"
[Scene ends...movie begins.] -
Clearly NOT dead, the Nazis must have grabbed him back when they were looking for the ark. At the end of World War 2, when the Russians grabbed all the german scientists, they grabbed Ravenwood too. Now they're using him to get Crystal Skulls....
-
Hope he goes back to what he once was for this film. Funny, each of the SW prequels had good pieces of music in them, duel of the fates, anakin and Obi Wan duel theme.... but for the most part they were really unmemorable. The 3 Indy flicks had great soundtracks start to finish. Hope he finds his swing again.
-
I dig each of the existing 3 Indy scores alot; although "Raiders" will always be the "gold standard", each of them sounds distinctly different from the others, while still being moving and progressing through a story auditorially (is that a word?), which is one of the things I enjoy most about them. In some ways, I look forward to the new Williams score ALMOST more than the movie itself.
-
go back and read it again.
-
Will Indy and pals have a teddy bear picnic? Will they dance the Yub Yub dance?
-
Since I seem to be tossing musings out left and right... I wonder what "lesson" Indy will learn by the end of KOTC. In Raiders, it was realizing the power of the ark was real, all that supersticious mumbo jumbo is true, in Doom it was realizing there's more to life than fortune and glory, in Crusade it was reconnecting with his father... what'll it be in this one? Do I hear wedding bells?
-
to me.
-
that goes without saying, but the more I listened to the prequel scores, the more each one grew on me. And I was surprised that it was more often little tracks like "Return to Naboo" or certain parts of longer tracks that I found myself taking a shine to the most, instead of Duel of the Fates or Battle of the Heroes. These were parts that musically told much more than anything that showed on the screen. The more I listened to the scores of the Prequels, the less I strictly associated the two. I know that sounds loopy, but hear me out. I, like many others, found myself disappointed overall with the prequel films. But the more I listened to WIlliam's work, the more I could take the elements he was scoring to and turn them into the story that SHOULD have been. Or in some cases, completely different elements of the story I imagine myself. Who says you have to stick to the "cannon" when you're listening on your own? And, so, overtime, I've grown to enjoy most of the prequel music even more than the movies they go with.
-
That no actual human being in their mid to late 60s can do the things he appears to do and therefore, his entire life may be an illusion. Thus the fourth wall is broken, it gets all pomo and meta, and the entire myth of of Indy implodes sending geeknation home to their rooms to brood, and sigh, and vomit with rage on the internets.
-
I just like my Indy with a side of badass. He's pretty damn harsh in Raiders, even in the "light" Crusade, he still almost chokes a broad. What I've always liked about Indy is he's a teacher, a scientist, but when the stuff goes down, he gets downright nasty.
-
Is f*ckin' great. It gets me as emotional as any of the themes from the OT. But I loved ROTS, so, there you go. The other two prequels were... unfortunate.
-
sorry... my first - and last - foray into the "lame-ass fake Indy title". Word.
-
Yeah. Either that or you're only as old as you feel. But definitely one of the two!
-
Will be that "man is not alone in the universe" or something....just you wait. These crystal skulls and alien -looking skeleton legos are not just a Commie ruse to cover-up secrets of their own government or something. Buuuuut, I could see some wedding bells for him and Marion, too.
-
I really dig Battle of the Heroes. And the Anakin vs. Obi Wan music (track title escapes me at the moment) is one of my favorite trakcs. I just notice that over time some of the "small" tracks, that were almost like filler between "bigger" scenes in the movies became surprisingly endearing to me, even though their placement in the film was not typoically of much significance.
-
that after this movie hits, Lucas will allow the realease of some of the unproduced sequel scripts. (though he'll NEVER release the Darabont one) I think it's cool to see what might have been. There used to be an Alien 3 script online some years ago, with no Ripley, featuring Hicks and marines battling Aliens on Earth. Or the "Beverly Hills Die Hard" script I once read. Was very close, but Eddie Murphy pulled out due to money. The eventual third films for both of them had numrous elements in common with the script I read. After Murphy dropped out of Beverly Hills Die Hard, they did a draft with McClane and Rosewood. When Willis dropped out, they actually did a Rosewood/Holly McClane draft.
-
Beverly Hills Die Hard?
You gotta be shitting me! -
Innit? The music in the film is longer and has different parts, but the overall theme -- with the minor-key choral parts -- is the piece played during the duel between Anakin and ObiWan.
-
serious as a heart attack. It dealt with a bomber on the loose in LA. McClane was still an LA cop at the time. Axel was now BHPD. I read it back in like 93. I was in the casting department of the horrid beverly Hills cop 3. Friend of mine in the prod. office let me read it.
-
I do fear a possible conclusion is that Indy is mortally wounded and passes the whip to Shia. "Here kid, this was meant to be yourssss.....argghhh..." It would pass the torch, but I think Speilberg would end it on an "up" note for what is last last of the "Ford" series.
-
Yeah, I just wonder. I'd think they'd end it on an up. I've heard they have the principles signed for 3 pics. But who knows.
-
and sorry for your involvement in BHC3. Might have sucked working on that, but not as much as watching it I suppose (even if it had some good moments)^^
-
Interesting experience on BHC 3: I was a huge admirer of John Landis. HUGE. Animal House, Blues Bros, 3 amigos, trading places, spies like us... Felt bad he had fallenm on hard times as a director. Seemed to have lost his chops. We did a bunch of night shoots at theme park in bay area. Was looking forward to watching Landis work. What I watched was his DP and lighting guys set up the shots, he'd mosey out of his trailer, BS with everyone (he was a really nice guy) then talk to good looking women. Eddie would come out of his trailer, find his mark. Landis would be told they were ready, they'd do the scene a few times and that was it. Landis was COMPLETELY disinterested as a director, and I had to wonder when that happened. Also said a lot about why he lost his chops. I will say however, that he seems to have rediscovered himself in these docu's he's been doing.
-
I think that people here sometimes forget that it's not a given that everybody will see everything, and that one can form a perfectly valid opinion based on promos and trailers and informed conjecture without blowing $10 and two hours of time on a movie. I mean, after all, that's the whole point of promos and trailers and whatnot.
-
"Mutt...Mutt...Let it go..."
I wonder whose dog Mutt was named after? Indiana, Short Round, and Willie were all named after dogs belonging to Lucas and writers or producers. -
it probably isn't that much worse than the fourth Die Hard. That film felt completely unnecessary and out of tone with the other three films. Hopefully more care is shown with the latest Indiana Jones.
-
I've always felt that Lucas and co. should not make another Indy movie unless they planned on doing a whole 'nother trilogy. Otherwise, the movie would kind of just be hanging out there at the end of the series as the hero's final desperate last hurrah.
-
Jones turns to the dark side in the beginning, Shia is watched over by a hobo in the desert.
-
I just fear with every film they're going to fuck it up. The first three are great (to varying degrees) and if by chance they make a kick ass fourth film I think they should count their lucky stars and their truck loads of money and let Indiana rest.
-
hahahahaha. something very funny about that image. Or maybe just the use of "hobo"
-
Just watched Raiders stoned. Thats when you notice all the bad acting
-
and I feel that Pennsylvania is cracking down a touch too hard on drivers who fail the emissions test.
-
Looks awesome!
-
that was interesting. Not surprising at all, a bit sad (I'm a huge fan of Trading Places and Coming to America myself) but interesting.
-
Look at his hand! That's weird.
-
No it'll be 'Mutt Williams and the'... that's his name.
-
oh I don't know... the boat chase in Crusade... the mining car chase in Temple... the truck chase in Raiders... Seriously, speeder bikes was the first thing you got from that picture?
-
is the lamest way to view an image online EVER. EW are clueless.
-
Because of the damned prequels I can't even watch the OT anymoe. I keep looking at Vader and hearing Hayden's whiny "You underestimate my powers" liine. ARGH
-
We've pretty much seen everything. Nothing surprises anymore. CGI overload has made our imaginations immune to wonder. Twists galore, time bending stories ... all done. It's no wonder NoDig's so jaded about a lack of originality in movies. Not to mention how hard it must be for writers and filmmakers to come up with something truly inventive, and actually get it greenlit for mass consumption.
-
You're just jaded about movies in general. Stop playing those shitty videogames.
-
That does not preclude one from enjoying a great movie, or great movies being made. TWBB for example, has amazing performances, dialogue, direction and cinematography. The story is not original nor groundbreaking, but solid. Something connecting the human experience. And really, that's what made movies so special when motion pictures were invented.
-
They make me dizzy.
-
contains the musings of a stoner?
-
I'll bet he gives great handjobs.
-
You got me frontin.
-
If that Russian soldier doesn't fire and kill Indy right there one of them must have down syndrome.
-
That actor who plays Hurley on Lost should have been cast as Indy. There I said it.
-
or that Flash in Justice League. Bingo

you think i didn't see you sneak the yub yub reference in there, but i did. and now, i'm going to have to shank a bitch. please hold on a sec while i strap on my ninja turtles armor and get my plastic light sabre.

when i was a kid, no one forced geeks into action hero roles...the closest thing was hoffman in marathon man, and he never really overcame his geekiness in that film...fuck spielburg and fuch shia...and fuck all the little girls who love that big nosed half a jew
-
And the trailer is mostly about car chases. Very ominous.

When Indy uses his whip for the first time on Baranka i was reminded of how Luke slices the speeder in half! Or when they're trekking through the jungle and stop to look at the poison darts reminded me of Han Solo taking a breather by the tree. This also reminded me of in Adventures of Robin Hood when they make their escape from the castle on horses. Another thing i'm reminded off when i look at that photo was in First Blood when Rambo drives that truck. I also think that scene in Predator when the russian helicopter explodes was very reminiscent of the Russians in this photo. Another thing that rekindled my mind-bank was the climactic road battle in Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior when they were firing their darts and molotovs as well. One more thing was in Goldfinger when Bond is driving and shooting in the woods at the Chinese men thhat brought be back to this photograph. I also have to add the car chasees in Bullitt and French Connection gave strong vibes of that photograph.
-
And whenever Indy ran it reminded me of Han Solo, and Sapito reminded me of Chewie.
-
kind of looked like darth vader's helmet.
-
And Toht's coat hanger reminded me of a lightsaber.
-
I'm not expecting a masterpiece just a fun time with old friends.. and some young prick who can't act his way out of a paper sack.. oh joy..
-
I've never understood the popularity of Shia. I thought he was good in that golf movie... but I've never actually liked the guy in any movie. Or have ever wanted to see him in another movie...
-
is this summer watching Indiana Jones 4. I've never really understood the hate because I've never seen him in a movie.

The List of Recycled Elements from released images and video.
1. South American temples and natives
2. An unethical rival archaeologist
3. Evil military types in khaki uniforms (Russian instead of German)
3. An evil leader of the bad guy's team (an evil female Russian, instead of an evil male Nazi).
4. A race to find the ancient structure that contains the magic thingummy.
5. Indy underground in a temple with cobwebs on his hat.
6. Running while mechanized ancient architecture is in the process of transforming.
7. Indy with a bazooka/rocket-launcher.
8. Indy commandeering enemy military vehicles and knocking drivers out onto the road.

Shia LeBouef, who, although he is also wearing a leather jacket, it's a new leather jacket of a different color, and he's NOT WEARING A HAT!

10. Crates. In The Warehouse.

You are a strange one.

I do hate James Bond movies. I hate them oh so much. "From Russia with Love" was the best of them.

Know what I find repetitive? Nodiggity (1994 called and wants its slang back) and his tired ass argument. And YES I did play the "something" called and wants its "something" back card damnit!
-
For the most part, From Russia With Love is the Bond flick people who know nothing about Bond flicks name as their favorite just because they've heard people who really do know about Bond flicks say the same thing!
-
Bond flick. Goldfinger's pretty good too. In fact I enjoy, to varying degrees, Sean Connery's Bond films. Then they pretty much sucked until Casino Royal. Oh, and those "themes" NoDiggity came up with are awfully broad. Holy shit, this Indiana Jones film utilizes a MacGuffin! It's just like almost every other action film ever made! His list was even worst than the "reminds me of Return of the Jedi" comment.

tbis picture doesnt really get me blood pumping. but i still really want to see this movie.
-
He's about to stab Indy in the back.
-
justgetreal... spot on mate. That might be the only chance we have of saving this. Got a bad feeling about it.
-
Dunno if that's been done before. If so then I'm teh sukk (heheheh)!! But then again I don't care.Well, I hope there will be a new trailer soon. The first one was good but not great.I also hope that Witwicky won't be such a stupid annoying catchword feeder like Short Round, that little brat!
-
Guns aiming at Indy! F**k MPAA
-
Ok, not really, he blows. But maybe they could bring him back and have Stephen Chow play him. Throw some Buddhist Palm at the Nazis and Commies, then high-tail it out of there like Wile E. Coyote.

Scroll down to the second pic ... not horrible.

I can't shake the feeling that they're banking mostly on nostaglia here. Remember the trailer for The Godfather Part II, voiceover guy called it the stunning, epic etc. conclusion to the Corleone saga. People buy the box sets, love the films, hold them dear to their hearts. Almost 20 years later, there's a Part III- and look how that turned out. Pt. III wasn't bad, but come on it was a fucking Godfather movie. I didn't care so much when they pulled the same thing with Die Hard because let's face it, it's not an instantly iconic franchise worldwide and there wasn't as much continuity and consistency throughout the trilogy. Regardless, look how that turned out. it was a mediocre fun action movie Bruce did- but it wasn't fucking Die Hard. Partly because they went too big, and with all this Area 51 shit I'm not even going to bother getting too excited about it. You can go ahead and hate all you want but come on buds, Shia's just stunt casting 'cause he's the new "It" motherfucker for the kiddies to buy the Happy Meals. Like, if a new Indy was done right I'd eat it up as excitedly as some of you are, but so far it's not looking so hot to me and once we start seeing Ford on Pepsi bottles and INDY CRUNCH W/ MARSHMALLOW CRYSTAL SKULLS! it's only going to seem more and more...shallow.
-
When you absolutely, positively, have to kill evry last motherfucker in a jeep, accept no substitues. A burst or two, esp. at that range, should turn our heroes into hamburger meat. Sometimes I want to see something like that, more No Country style deaths if you will. You watch a Bond flick and no matter what shit they throw at him you know he's gonna make it, there's no suspense, you know? Or, hey Commies, consider this: SHOOT THE FUCKING TIRES OUT. I don't know, that might do it. I'm willing to put money on Indy using his whip to yank the steering wheel, sending the commies off a cliff or something. Cue Wilhelm scream.

Raiders is the best but TOD and TLC were also a hell of a lot of fun and exciting. I don't get why people are so damn cynical about EVERYTHING.
