Harrison Ford and James Cameron... together' Will we be seeing Indiana Jones himself in 3-D'

3D Mystery by godoffireinhell	Sep 7th, 2004 05:23:14 AM
When will Cameron finally make it official what this mysterious 3D film will be? I know that Moriarty has said it will be BATTLE ANGEL ALITA and that would make me extremly happy but as much as I trust him I can't be sure until it hits the trades. Isn't he supposed to start filming this November??? Isn't he already deep in pre-production??? So why the mystery?
James Cameron And Micheal Moore Are Also Doing A Film Together, by jackie delrio	Sep 7th, 2004 05:27:12 AM
Thanks for starting the week off with complete bullshit.
Ford may as well make this seeing as how shitty Indy 4 is turnin by Rogue_Leader	Sep 7th, 2004 05:30:23 AM
Can't do any worse with this.
This 3d film is going to have supreme quality so much so that we by TheGinger Twit	Sep 7th, 2004 06:06:17 AM

I'd say the mystery surrounding this project is because it'll be by TheGinger Twit	Sep 7th, 2004 06:13:08 AM
Think about it. News these days travels so fast about who's doing what. So for me it's re-freshing to see that Cameron is working on a 'somewhat secret' project while all we know is that it'll be shot on the latest greatest technology. Thats enough to get me hard so I'll gladly build up until...
3D? by CurryIce	Sep 7th, 2004 06:22:21 AM
Is Cameron going to make a normal version too or just 3D? I'm not a big fan of movies where you have to wear a 3D glass...:-/
miss flockhart in it too? by ChickenGeorgeVII	Sep 7th, 2004 06:27:25 AM
OGOD OGOD OGOD OGOD OGOD!!! PLEEEAAAASSSEEE LET IT BE THE REMAKE OF BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S!!!! (yeah yeah yeah, I know it ain't) But wouldn't it be funny as shit to try and see Calista Flockhart in 3-D? I'm not really sure she had that third demension.....And thus, a remake of Jaws 3-D? - - - George, The 7th Chicken!!!!
A 3D film? What a novel and unique concept! I hope Camoron goes by SalvatoreGravano	Sep 7th, 2004 06:45:31 AM
And may there never be an Indy followup. But, of course, digging carcasses sells to imbeciles, so not only will there be Indy IV, but Indy V, The New Adventures of Young Indy, and then the traditional onanism material for the worst of the idiots - a crossover. Probably "Indiana Jones versus the Terminator" or "Alien versus Indiana Jones versus Predator". Go, go, go!
You don't know jack shit about Indy 4, Rogue_Leader by I Dunno	Sep 7th, 2004 08:08:16 AM
You're just riding the anti-Lucas bandwagon.
Non 3D version by godoffireinhell	Sep 7th, 2004 08:27:45 AM
From what I've read Cameron's deal with FOX states that they have to put the film out in a couple hundred cinemas in 3D. This is a big deal because until now only IMAX cinemas have the necessary equipment. The rest of the theaters will get a regular, non-3D version and that will also be what'll be released on DVD later on. Cameron specifically stated that he invented this technology because it cannot be replicated for home viewing and he wants to bomb folks out of their homes and back into cinemas.

...So I'm just wondering, where are you planning to cram more ads on to every article page here? It doesn't seem like there's much room left anywhere, but I'm sure you'll suprise us. Also, I've said it before, but this site is looooong (as in 2 or 3 years) overdue for a major overhaul. Not just cosmetic, but conceptual as well. DO IT DO IT DO IT!
But my closest iMax is 2 hours away! GRRR!! by Spacker Dave	Sep 7th, 2004 09:12:42 AM
Hopefully this artical is full of shit and I wont have to see a watered down version of a project that actually sounds interesting.
I hope they don't release a lame RED-BLUE version ala Spy Kids 3 by Batutta	Sep 7th, 2004 09:14:36 AM
That shit hurt my eyes to watch, although I don't think seeing that film more clearly would've aided my enjoyment. Other than that concern, this is exciting news. Ford hasn't been good since the mid-90's.

Harrison Ford should do a western!!! by riskebiz	Sep 7th, 2004 11:15:31 AM
Harrison Ford is sort of like our generations John Wayne ... except he's done more movies like McQ instead of True Grit. Outside of Costner, I can't think of anyone else more suited to sit tall in the saddle (well ... Sam Shephard maybe). Harrison Ford was great in The Frisco Kid ... but that was ages ago (and was a comedy-western). I wish he'd do a full-blown western like Costner's Open Range. That being said, I also wish Cameron would do something other than 3D this and Titanic that. That's all he's done since the Titanic ... film 3D and go and film the Titanic. Is he afraid of choking on his next film or something?
As of Kill Bill Vol 1 Cameron is officially a bigger slacker tha by I Dunno	Sep 7th, 2004 12:04:14 PM
They both stopped making movies in '97. And I don't count IMAX documentaries or tv series. Get that fucking Titanic taste out of my mouth and make a real movie, Jimbo. And drop the gimmicky 3-d nonsense. I don't go to the movies to get a migraine headache and if the story and visuals are up to par I don't need it to be in 3-d to get immersed in it.
I Dunno/ your name is perfect by one9deuce	Sep 7th, 2004 03:03:42 PM
Because you're the one that doesn't know shit about Indy 4 apparently. It has been in DEVELOPMENT HELL since 1994 when George Lucas commisioned a script from his own story called Indiana Jones and the Saucer Men Of Mars. You can find it online, but take my word for it that is sucks. It is basically a worst case scenario in how to mess up a series, and who has more experience in doing that than George Lucas? I don't want to get into the last ten years of debacles, but suffice it to say: Indy 4 has a microscopic chance of being good, much less great.
If you will all open your Bibles to Genesis, please . . . by BrainCell	Sep 7th, 2004 03:19:50 PM
What I have always thought would make a good movie would be for Indy to search out the Tree of Life. In the garden of Eden, God had two trees he forbade Adam and Eve to eat from: the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and the Tree of Life. Satan, in the form of a serpent, talked Eve into eating from the former, the Tree of Knowledge. She, in turn, then induced Adam to eat from same. This, of course, resulted in all manner of trouble, including people deciding they needed to wear clothes, men being forced to till the earth (ie - work for a living), women experiencing pain in childbirth (at least until the invention of the epidural), and the serpent thereafter being forced to crawl through the dust on its belly (apparently, snakes used to have feet). More interestingly, perhaps, God drove humankind out of the garden, not so much as punishment, but as a preventative measure. See, they still had not eaten from the Tree of Life. To prevent said occurrence, which, according to God in Genesis, would have run the risk of making people become "like us" (presumably "us" refers to the Trinity [not a reference to Carrie-Ann Moss, losers]), God kicked the humans out of the Garden, and, now here's the cinematic part, placed a fiery sword to guard it, a sword that turns in every direction. Now, how is Dr. Jones going to whip out a revolver to avoid a sword fight, when NOBODY is there wielding the sword?!? See, questions like that are for geniuses like George Lucas (although I'd settle for George the Seventh Chicken) to figure out!
To Batutta: Cameron didn't use the red/blue type 3-D for GHOSTS by FrankDrebin	Sep 7th, 2004 03:21:06 PM
He used the other kind of 3-D with the gray lenses. Worked fine. With SPYKIDS 3-D, they could only have a few brief 3-D moments spread out during the film, so that the audience wouldn't get migraines. Still wasn't good enough. It was literally painful to watch the movie in the theaters.
But I LIKE barnacles on the ass-end of the Titanic... by Ribbons	Sep 7th, 2004 03:39:18 PM
...ah, I keed, I keed. There's a place for Cameron's documentaries, although most people recognize that without ever actually planning on seeing them. I'm excited to see how this 3-D movie of his pans out, but I don't know if I want to get too invested in its success until it actually goes into production. The Harrison Ford news sounds fake, but we'll see. As far as Spielberg goes...damn, he's been prolific lately. I know the quality of the films he's made lately haven't been that great, or at least inconsistent (I guess I should say that I'm on the "loved 'A.I.'" side though), but no matter how much trash gets piled on him here, we'll miss his presence when he's gone, although if he thinks 'The Terminal' did poorly at the box office because it doesn't appeal to the lowest common denominator, he's got another thing coming.
James Cameron lives the dream of all artists by antonphd	Sep 7th, 2004 03:41:27 PM
make something that makes you a shitload of money... then use that money to do whatever the fuck you want to do in life... and in my book, filming an underwater documentary is the coolest thing one can do... with the obvious exception of filming a movie about people who film underwater documentaries (The Life Aquatic)... sitting on one's ass when not doing what one likes to do is the REASON for being an artist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!
Brain Cell - already done in Indy 3 by antonphd	Sep 7th, 2004 03:51:10 PM
Great idea... I think... but already done. It actually says that if they eat from the tree that they will become like them and live forever. I want to see the city of Atlantis! I want fishy people who are all half different kinds of underwater creatures... that would kick ass.
When has 3D EVER been a respectable format? by Gravity_Lens	Sep 7th, 2004 03:59:23 PM
I seriously think that Cameron suffered some sort of brain damage from all the underwater pressure. 3D is not a respectable format for great films to be made in. Why not put "The Tingler" under the theater seats, too, Jim? What a fucking hack. It was bad enough when you repeated scenes from Terminator in T2--another truck chase that leads to a factory fight?! Fuck you, you lazy prick! Ripping off manga, yet again, is not how you make good movies. Remember, everyone, that Jim got his start with Roger Corman and Piranha 2.
I tell you what WOULD be cool.. by MaulRat	Sep 7th, 2004 05:57:58 PM
James Cameron directing Harrison Ford in another Blade Runner movie.. a new Blade Runner movie would be awesome with Camerons anal retentive perfectionism, todays modern effects, shot on Digital in 3D... sigh I think that will always be the dream though. BAMF
this movie by talbuckin	Sep 7th, 2004 06:38:13 PM
I heard about this a few months back. Cameron was supposed to produce, not direct, and Ford would be an astronaut or something. If you google it, something should appear. The title was even public but cant remember
3D rules! by JTBKSC	Sep 7th, 2004 07:06:02 PM
Yay for 3D! Boo for 2D! I remember when they showed "Gorilla at Large" on broadcast TV in glorious 3D. Those were the days, i tells ya. If you got some red/blue 3D glasses handy, check out my lame ass 3D vids and pics: www.jimmythebrain.com
Blade Runner 2 3D, um no that would suck mainly because of 3D no by spectrebeeyatch	Sep 7th, 2004 08:28:21 PM
Actaully I always wondered why they didn't do it in the first place the movie could easily have sequels. Whatever Cameron ain't a hack and Manga blows ass I hate when people say people steal ideas from other things, well guess what they probably stole some ideas from other things, like that one South Park episode where they explain the Simpsons and why they have done everything!

The Nonsense That is Religion by BTR 1701	Sep 7th, 2004 11:44:28 PM
"More interestingly, perhaps, God drove humankind out of the garden, not so much as punishment, but as a preventative measure." **** So the omniscient, omnipotent creator of everything can't think of a better way to keep those two from eating from this "Tree of Life"? Here's a thought: why not just leave them where they are and make the Tree of Life disappear? Why the fuck did god put those damn trees there in the first place if he didn't want us messing with them? It's like handing your 5-year-old a loaded handgun and then wondering why he shot himself. This is why religion just cracks me up. How can people believe this crap?
Cameron's Movie by KidCthulhu	Sep 8th, 2004 12:01:20 AM
I'm trying to piece this together.Cameron's doing a 3-D movie about a space station disaster with Harrison Ford.Didn't I read that James tryed to get on to the International Space Station to film something? After all the shit he did for The Abyss I wouldn't put it past him. Good luck getting the studio insurance to let you take Harrison Ford into space.
I spelled tried like this...tryed. Sorry. by KidCthulhu	Sep 8th, 2004 12:02:26 AM

The ignorance of those who call religion nonsense by AntoniusBloc	Sep 8th, 2004 01:13:22 AM
BTR's confusion about why God did not make the object of temptation "disappear" to spare His creation of the Fall is an example of a misunderstanding of the Creator(as understood in traditional Christianity). God created us in His image, with the potential of being as close to being like Him as possible, without actually being Him. God could not create another God because that would be a contradiction. THE Creator, the First Cause, cannot logically create a second, or multiple First Cause's, or Creators; so, God created us in His image, to be like Him. However, to be like Him, in the truest sense, requires TRUE growth; and TRUE growth requires free will. That is why God must not hide or eliminate the temptations, and the suffering that goes with it, from His creation, because it would deny them the TRUE growth required to be what God created them to be, and the ability to choose that path, which is goodness and love, freely. To deny his creation TRUE growth requires the free will, the free choices of humans created in His image, otherwise God would be creating robots, or puppets that God simply pulls the strings; such creations are not God-like and could never grow into what God meant them to be. The image of God is not that of a puppet, for His strings are not pulled. That is why the image of God is that of the Father. God created humans as His children, since to be close to His image, His creation must also be part of Him, created from Him, but like God, whose will is free, his children are also given freedom to choose, and the potential to be beings of True love; and to come close to The Creator, requires True growth. When one understands the concept of Free Will, one will understand why God cannot remove the temptations, or the individual free will to either choose them or to choose to become what God created that person to be. So, one might ask, why did an all powerful, all knowing God create us in the first place? Not out of need, for the Creator is not needy. Not out of desire, also not logically part of THE Creator's nature. The only motivation for such a perfect being to create beings like Himself is love. So, if BTR finds the concept of The Fall nonsense, then perhaps he also finds individual free will and love to be nonsense as well. For with the Fall of man also comes the vicarious atonement of man, through the second Adam, Christ, who is literally our brother. Just as sin was passed down to all generations of the human race, so too is redemption, thanks to the grace, mercy, and love of our Creator. Just as the sin of those who submit to temptation are passed on to those who are innocent, so the sufferings and virtue of the innocent can vicariously redeem the guilty.
James Cameron and Harrison Ford working together??? Now THAT is by JDanielP	Sep 8th, 2004 01:22:34 AM

Dr. Jones by Moe Ron	Sep 8th, 2004 02:02:11 AM
Personally, I hope that they make Hollywood Homicides, get it, hardy har har. Listen certain people, as much as I couldn't stand Titanic, Cameron is not a hack. Sure, Piranha 2 is not the pinnacle of his career, and he wrote the screenplay for Rambo 2, oh wait, I guess he is a hack. Nevermind.
Harrison Ford IS Doc Ido! by porco_rossi	Sep 8th, 2004 02:40:26 AM
Hmm maybe a little old and fat, but not too bad a choice. Will require some extreme hairstyling though.
AntoniusBloc by BTR 1701	Sep 8th, 2004 03:19:30 AM
You seem to be misunderstanding the issue. The issue isn't free will or lack thereof. The assertion was made that Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden, not as a punishment, but as a preventative measure to keep them from eating from the Tree of Life. Under that scenario, god is the one doing the preventing. I'm just pointing out that there is a much better way to prevent them from eating from that tree. Instead of kicking them out, just remove the damn tree. Your whole essay on free will is irrelevant because in this situation, god is deny them the free will to eat from the tree. The only question is why he chose to do it in the more nonsensical way. But if you want to discuss free will, then fine. YOU SAY: "When one understands the concept of Free Will, one will understand why God cannot remove the temptations" ** RESPONSE: If you really understood the philosophical implications of an omniscient god (a god who knows everything), then you'd also understand that free will cannot exist concurrently with an omniscient being. The two concepts are antithetical. YOU SAY: "So, one might ask, why did an all powerful, all knowing God create us in the first place? Not out of need, for the Creator is not needy." RESPONSE: You're kidding, right? The entire bible is nothing but a description of the most narcissistic, needy and psychopathic being ever conceived of. The god of the bible has a truly monstrous ego and seems to be inordinately concerned with being worshipped, to the point of condemning the people he supposedly loves to eternal damnation and torment if they don't constantly prostrate themselves before him. YOU SAY: "Just as the sin of those who submit to temptation are passed on to those who are innocent" ** RESPONSE: Any god who makes innocents pay for things they did not do is not loving, by definition. Whatever that is, it's neither love nor is it righteous.
This is probably "Godspeed" by CriticalVelocity	Sep 8th, 2004 04:19:46 AM
Variety May 26, 2004 Harrison Ford is set to star in Godspeed, an outer space-set thriller that is being put together by James Cameron's Lightstorm Entertainment, reports Variety. Cameron (Titanic) won't direct, but will produce. He is currently working on a full-length dramatic feature utilizing the 3-D technology he developed for the 2003 IMAX film Ghosts of the Abyss. Here is a link to Harry talking about Cameron and Ford way back in 2000. http://www.aintitcool.com/disp lay.cgi?id=6243

Cameron and Ford to revisit "Ridleyverse" in Blade Runner 2? by Ivan_Mtl	Sep 8th, 2004 05:19:35 PM
I know it is just wishful thinking on my part, but I would love to see James Cameron directing Harrison Ford in a sequel to Ridley Scott's cult classic, BLADE RUNNER. He did a great job on Aliens, and I know he has great respect for Ridley Scott as a filmmaker in general (the two have been linked to a possible Alien sequel - Cameron would write, and Scott would direct). Unfortunately, it's also pretty well known that Harrison Ford did not care for the film and almost came to blows with the director on the set, so I'm sure he would have little interest in reprising his role (at least with Scott at the helm). It's a shame too. I remember an appearance by the actor on Larry King Live and most of the questions from the callers were related to Blade Runner (which he seemed to quickly dismiss). Too bad. I'm sure that there is a great story waiting to be told. Imagine a film that starts out with replicants trying to enter the country through the San Angeles airport, are detected by the customs' Voight Kampf(?) unit, and subsequently killed. The ensuing autopsy on the female replicant reveals that she was pregnant. As it turns out, a new breed of replicant, the Nexus 7, has been manufactured and it has the ability to reproduce as well as posessing a normal life-span. It is discovered that Rachel is such a model (the prototype) and Blade Runners are set out to "retire" her. As a nod to Cameron's other sequel set in the "Ridleyverse", I would have Lance Henrickson play the new CEO of the Tyrell foundation. As in the first film, where it is quite evident that Deckard is a replicant himself, the big reveal at the end of the sequel is that the entire population of the planet are replicants. Humanity had been facing possible extinction as a result of the loss of their ability to procreate (due to pollution, disease, etc.) and creating the Nexus series was Tyrell's hope of carrying on. Perhaps Tyrell's dream all along was to produce a replicant which could eventually reproduce. The new CEO of Tyrell would have much less altruistic reasons for running the company, and sees the new replicants as threats to the continuing financial success of the company. Anyway, this was an idea that I had written for myself years ago (and I have a great way of bringing Roy Batty back as well). If your reading this, Hollywood, I've got a script! lol ;)
Antoniowhatsit by BurlIvesLeftNut	Sep 8th, 2004 10:24:56 PM
You should go to the worst part of town you live in with $500. Find the biggest, sleaziest homeless person around and pay him $500 to beat the shit out of you. Then tell him you will do whatever he wants for the rest of your life. As he steps on your nuts and hocks a greasy nicotine tinged lugey in your mouth, realize that this homeless guy is a better master than the "god" you profess to worship. A) He actually cares enough about your sacrifices to respond to your needs. B) You can actually feel the force of his power. C) He actually exists. If you want to worship and psychopathic sadist, atleast find a real one.
Religion by BrainCell	Sep 9th, 2004 11:26:01 AM
Gosh, it's fun to bring up religion/God at AICN. People get all fervent and foamy-at-the-mouth and it is SUCH a good show! Still folks, how can you discuss an Indiana Jones movie without bringing up the potential object of his quest? Speaking of which, does anybody know of any Muslim artifacts Indy could go after? I happily confess general ignorance about that religion (except that they seem to hate everybody else). It would be fun to watch Dr. Jones bust some pre-terrorism-era Islamic heads. Or, better yet: Indy knows he's going up against Muslims, so he stations Short Round (or somebody) in the bell tower so whenever Indy is about to get caught or attacked or shot at, Indy signals him, he rings the bell, and the Muslims have to stop, face Mecca, and pray. Now THAT would be hilarious.
BTR1701 vs . Antonius Blockhead by SCYTHEOFLUNA	Sep 12th, 2004 04:37:21 PM
Okay so first Antonius spews right wing conservative dribble on the "Kevin Smith shoots back" thread and now he is trying to push his christian zealot agenda in an INDIANA JONES THREAD? Fuck that, I am not havin' it. Yeah, Indy may have hunted religious artifacts, but he didn't believe in any of it. I'm sorry I already had to unload on Antonius Blockhead on the other thread but this is just foolish. In a world where violence, racism, poverty, political and corporate corruption, violate every aspect of our lives, I cannot fathom how Antonius can be stupid enough to believe that it is all part of some devine plan. Fuck that. Was 9/11 part of the plan Antonius? What about the AIDS epidemic? Where does that fit into the plan? Oh yeah, I forgot you guys don't ask questions of your religious leaders. You just take it all on faith, even when the church seeks to fill its own coffers with our hard earned cash only to molest our children and then deny it. Yeah, you guys have it all figured out. Well, if that's your god's plan then count me the fuck out. I would prefer to think that we are in charge of our own destinies. It is far easier to just assume that "god" has a plan and that he will just fix everything but that is not the way the world works. If the holocaust, the inquisition and the bloodshed in the middle east today are indicators as to what "god" has done for us I think humanity can do without any more favours. Sorry to burst your bubble. That's okay though Antonius, just go ahead and keep spreading your LIES. Just keep listening to how Bush is saving the world from terror and how "god" knows what's best. In fact why don't you turn your brain off and just do whatever the republicans and christians tell you to. Go ahead keep giving the simultaneous reach-around to Jerry Falwell, and John Ashcroft, and while you're at it, offer 'Dubya another Rold Gold, maybe this time it will actually choke him. You aren't going to get into heaven by trying to convert everyone you come into contact with. If you think that you can look forward to some kind of after-party afterlife then fucking forget it. This is the only life you get, and just think you are wasting it spreading someone elses lies (whether it be KING JAMES' lies or the lies that the G.O.P. permeate the airwaves with. So in short, Fuck president Bush, Fuck the republican party, Fuck the Vattican, Fuck the Pope and Fuck you for soiling the sanctity of this board with your naive neo-con christian zealot horseshit!!!
