makes about as much sense as a $30 million Voltron movie shot with camcorders...dumbasses.

Rumour has it, there is a scene where Indy uses the magic sword to slice open a camel to keep Shia La Beouf warm. And he thought they smelled bad on the outside!

Using the Ark again? *yawn*

Go to Atlantis or Area 51 and search for the Spear of Destiny or whateber... Just don't try and bring it full circle and tie it all up coz you tried that last time with, you know - The LAST Crusade! and look where that got you!!!

Oh. Wait. THAT Lucas.

Aw HELL no.

George Lucas has confirmed he is about to start shooting a second prequel trilogy. The first film, Episode Ia - Han & Chewie The Early Years, will cover the meeting of this iconic movie duo and set the stage for a triple whammy that tells the whole story leading up to the beginning of Star Wars - Episode IV - Star Wars.

In Episode Ia we learn that Han & Chewie meet through an ad on SpaceMySpace and start a small business as intergalactic space hairdressers. With a meagre amount of start-up money, they buy a used spaceship from Han's old buddy - fashion designer Lando Calrissian - and take to the skies to deliver stylish yet affordable hair designs through the galaxy. Later, possibly in Star Wars - Episode IIa - Han & Chewie's Excellent Adventure, they will declare themselves to be pirates in a desperate attempt to appear cool.

Tobey Maguire is attached as Han Solo, while Chewbacca will be a completely CGI creation.

I pray THIS is not for real and is just some bs rumor.

I am MORE then excited about this movie - to see Inadiana Jones again - I'm gonna be stupid happy for weeks but to bastardize the series with "The Further Adventures of Duck Tale Greaser Kid" .... I am feeling my heart brake - please JUST BE another stupid rumor!

Maybe the maguffin of this new Indy adventure will be the evil machine that was used to drain the life out of Ford shortly after The Fugutive. There will be a series of tubes and whatnot, maybe with a large vat or something, and Indy will be reattached to it in the third act and have his life force squirted back into him. Then, he will stop being a walking sleepy-making machine and make some decent new films. The villain will be revealed to be Nathan Fillion, who abducted Ford's persona and has so far used it in an unsuccessful bid to crack the film business. Mwahahahaha, etc.

I miss those bygone days of six months ago when everything was too silver or too venomy.

This new Indiana Jones film is, I believe, too Indyy.

Actually, still e-mail Mori, but chime in here as well.

I mean, the whole thing about Indy going after the ARK again? That ain't coming from Jett. And I hope it ain't true, either. It's one thing to "bookend" a series, but that can be done here wth Marion, Abner, and Indy; no Ark required.

On the other hand, I don't know what, if any, influence Moriarty has over Quint. The way Jett and Mori got into it a little at the end of the last Indy TB (go back a take a quick look at the 7/2 one if you haven't yet), I wouldn't be surprised if Mori told Quint to not acknowledge Jett. At least not until Mori had a chance to examine everything.

I guess what we need to hear from Quint is whether he DID actually receive the e-mail from Jett. And what he (and Mori) think about what they rec'd).

And I, for one, enjoy the positive TB and all the specualtion, even though I posted a pretty pissed off post earlier. Just the thought of having a new trilogy WITH OUT Indy seems rediculous to me. "Mutt Jones and ...." That pissed me off.

Someone ATLEAST sum up Darabonts draft! AICN staff doesn't want to spoil anything - atleast sum it up for us and we can decide what we think might be in it or not.

And dammit, Jett - c'mon back!

According to Jett, this IS for Indy IV (which we all suspected, despite the NT2 red herring story). But it does seem like something that would be in congruant. Mentally, I'm still calling this one IJ & the Crown of Destiny.

Any insight as to why the South American location of the crystals (assuming that is why Indy, etc are in that set we saw pics of) when this object sounds like it woukd have come from Egypt?

And what about the old rumor of "Indy sees an old villain" that kicks off the chase they were filming last week?

ANy other clues you van give us as to who it is?

Jett did say along time ago that this "person" wouldn't nec. be from the movies at all.

It's possible that things got moved around and hidden after the "skulls" were separated, but...

Sounds like it will be a globe trottin' adventure once again.

can't wait to see his befuddled response, if there is one...

I guess this proves once and for all that Transformers was terrible...

seems a bit convoluted, doesn't it? it also sounds way too much like the middle third of Raiders...they wouldn't do that much of a rehash, would they?

oh, the irony!!

No, I think the aliens thing was canned. POssibly it's in there as a minor, momentary red herring, but "actual" aliens can't be anything that actually happens in the movie. Leave that shite to Fox Mulder.

;)

while they were making the Star Wars prequels, I kept on reading all the fansites for tidbits about plot spoilers and rumors etc... in the hope that Lucas was maybe 'misleading' us all with what was being leaked, and in the hope that he was actually going to blow our minds with a movie that bore no resemblance to the leaked 'spoilers'....

but no. when each of the Star Wars prequels came out, it did indeed turn out that EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DETAIL OF THOSE MOVIES HAD BEEN LEAKED, DISCUSSED, AND DISPLAYED IN PHOTOS PRIOR TO THE ACTUAL MOVIE BEING RELEASED. which, to this day, is absolutely one of the most plausible explanations for why so many people were disappointed with the prequels. there simply were no fucking surprises left come the day of release! we'd seen the whole movie already on the internet fan sites!

For the love of God, let's get back to those days, like the early eighties, when a new movie really was a 'new' movie, when it had the power to be an overnight phenomenon, when nobody had read 'spoilers'. Why on earth do film studios these days think it's a good idea to give away EVERY FUCKING DETAIL INCLUDING STILLS OF EVERY FUCKING COOL MOMENT FROM THE FORTHCOMING MOVIE, in the misguided belief that fans will actually be happy when they finally see the film? what's the fucking point in watching the movie when you've seen all the cool stuff already on the net? it's not 'promotion' at all, it's actually 'destruction'.

Man .... those prequals SUCKED!

the best trailer was for Crusade though .... the one where they just showed the making of the tank chase / fight where Ford kept losing the hat and then ended up stapeling it on. I'll even settle for that one.

As for plot, all I would want is a discription - not the entire flick spelled out. A discription wouldn't hurt anything and still leave a for many surprises. And that IMDB thing has gotta be total bullshit. NO WAY that's up already.

Oh, I could use some of that apple wine about now if you have any handy.

But that can't really be the name of Blanchett's character. It's just too unwieldy. When they wanted to name the German archaeologist in Last Crusade they named her "Elsa Schnieder" b/c it "sounds" authenitic enough without being confounding to whitebread Americans. They can't really be using that name...not without giving her a "nickname" anyway.

Perhaps they'll call her "Lassie"?

But the (hopeful) reality here is that this will be an INDY movie. Shia may play an "important" role, but we shouldn't be running off with the idea that he's going to share top billing with Ford.

I would assume his role will be like SHort Rounds'- it'll play an important part, have a purpose, but ultimately not try to fight Indy for the "lead".

Only gets the cover back. Nice one BSB.

...Which is why it will utterly cause SUCH geek outrage and vomit hurling hatred to erupt if they NOW make a new film after all this time that is just plain shitty or even simply average given Ford's age and assorted other factors. To that end, I wasn't against the return of Indiana Jones as a character -- then again I NEVER bought into the rabid fanboy thinking that ONLY Ford could be Indy. To that end, I'm also one of those who thought "Hey, if Spielberg feels the juice and wants to make a few new Indy films, fine. Do a Bond-like recasting with a guy in his prime, so we'll buy into all the stunts onscreen, and we're right back in WWII fighting Nazis and looking for cool artifacts with supernatural overtones."

My continual problem with this movie is that we have to remember WHO is making this. Keep in mind things like Frank Darabont writing a script that Spielberg declared as being the "best since the original RAIDERS script", and then Lucas stepping in to unzip his fly and piss all over it and say it wasn't good and that HE was going to rewrite it to make it "good" -- because as we all know, he proved he was SUCH the great writer on the Prequels. In fact, let history show that EPISODE 4 was actually heavily rewritten by Hyuck and Katz and of course its obvoius the effect that Kasdan had on EMPIRE and JEDI.

So again, seriously, keep in mind WHO is producing this and exerting HIS Producer power. Which makes me groan because this is the same guy who thought Midechlorians was a good idea to explain the Force...who thought Jar Jar was going to be a fan favorite sidekick to rival Chewbacca, racially insulting voice and all...who took 20 years off from the world's most famous film franchise, which meant he had ALL the time in the world (not to mention all the money in the world to hire story and scripting help), only to return and shit out 3 terrible films to the disappointment of the entire world. So when I hear ideas like Indy is walking through the warehouse and comes upon a broken box that has te Ark sticking out of it, at which point he makes a wisecrack, those who say "I can't believe that happens. It's too fluke a chance thing to show onscreen" REALLY have to remember who's producing this. And Spielberg's to blame TOO since things like that are EXACTLY the tiny bits of so-called humor that both he and Lucas think are "cute" and that we'll all love. They think having things like THAT happen will appease the geeks -- the problem being we don't care about tiny shit moments like that, we care about the far larger overall picture...which I'm still predicting given (1) Ford's age and lack of acting enthusiasm in years and years, as well as (2) Lucas' ability to demonstrate shit taste and the fact that he's lost it (given the Prequels) and (3) even Spielberg can be hit and miss these days (I mean, come on, WOTW was about as mainstream a movie tailored for Spielberg and it was a shitty borefest punctuated by Spielberg thinking that a screaming, whiny kid brat like Dakata Fanning is what "geeks" wanted to see in THE MOST FAMOUS ALIENS INVADING AND DESTROYING THE WORLD STORY EVER.

So if this turns out good, it'll be a miracle. If it turns out to be groan inducing, it will be like a bucket of ice water thrown in film fans faces at which point they'll HAVE to wake up and say "Oh, that's right. Deep down I DID think these guys had lost it, I just didn't want to admit it."

But for old time's sake, I'll keep my fingers crossed. So Dear Heaven, PLEASE don't let this suck...

Moriarty needs to post again and say once and for all that Jett is a liar.

Don't buy the BS.

Sincerely,
