Is George Lucas, isn't it? I wouldn't trust anything he says about the movie if I were you. He's bonkie.

Hmmm... by The Drude	Sep 28th, 2007 08:36:41 AM
Interesting. I'll believe it when I see it, of course, but it would be cool if they wrapped up the final Indy with a scene in that warehouse. Long as they don't just rehash the original scene...
I HEARD IN ONE SCENE... by Nucking Futs	Sep 28th, 2007 08:36:41 AM
SHIA LEBEOUF IS SPYING ON HIS NEIGHBOR, WHO HE THINKS HAS THE CRYSTAL OF DOOM, BUT IT TURNS OUT HIS MILD MANNERED NEIGHBOR IS ACTUALLY A ROBOT THAT TRANSFORMS INTO A SURFING PENGUIN!!!!!

Indiana Jones should fight the Rocklords! by Lockrords	Sep 28th, 2007 08:41:29 AM
I know your initial thoughts of gayness, but that would be awesome. A badass, futuristic Jones with, like, a laser-whip. Add that to the ultimate badass-ness of the Rocklords. I am fucking there!

Your comment made me giggle like a school girl. You made my day!
As long as it's... by DocPazuzu	Sep 28th, 2007 08:54:46 AM
...the opening scene or something equally trivial to the rest of the story. I really, really don't want the Ark to be the McGuffin in this thing. At least not the primary one. And please, no sci-fi explanation for the supernatural stuff in these movies. Sci-fi and aliens, sure, but don't mix the two.
What is it with the snakes? by ye olde shiza	Sep 28th, 2007 08:55:06 AM
Kurt Russell isn't scared of 'em. He should have been Indiana's twin-brother, Iowa.
Want to see a warehouse? by Kentucky Colonel	Sep 28th, 2007 08:55:10 AM
C'mon by my workplace. It's full of large plasma & LCD monitors, and even a few big brown boxes. Not very exciting, but at least in my down time I can watch my movies on a 57" LCD, which ain't shabby.

I do agree with Doc. It's a nice touch if included the right way. I can't wait to see a trailer for this...I want old time Indy...like Eddie Shore.
The Dubliner by BadMrWonka	Sep 28th, 2007 09:10:32 AM
I cannot believe someone would click on a link that asks you if you want to know what is going on with a movie shrouded in secrecy, and complain aout spoilers...what did you expect besides a little hint about what you might expect to see in the movie? not a huge spoiler, not giving away a big moment, just a little hint. people are dumb.
What is so cool about rehashing plot ideas - by Laserbrain	Sep 28th, 2007 09:19:22 AM
from previous films in the series? We've seen the Ark , we've seen the warehouse. Who needs it? Anyway, I'm still quietly optimistic but the less retreading of past glories the better.
interesting by Bloo	Sep 28th, 2007 09:19:46 AM
the more this film shapes up the more it feels almost like a coda or epilouge to the original trio. I remember hearing about this secene too a couple of monthes back, I believe Quint posted something about it, but I'm not sure of the exacts, weren't the Russians trying to break in to steal the ark?
Probably true by tylermo	Sep 28th, 2007 09:32:01 AM
But...I've said it a million times. If they go too far with the tie-in's and book-endings, they risk ruining the greatness of the 1st film. This film should be its own story, and not tied into too much to the other films. Particularly Raiders.

MAJOR SPOILER! by brezzel	Sep 28th, 2007 09:54:15 AM
Gotta agree with ricarleite. You MUST note SPOILER on the link if you're going to give something this big away.
Interesting to note.. by The Chosen	Sep 28th, 2007 10:01:03 AM
One of the most iconic places in the hole series, extremely satirized and copied.. And none of the main characters ever steps on it.

I remember, back in the day, when there were things... by Seph_J	Sep 28th, 2007 10:46:45 AM
... called 'spoiler notices' which informed people if a story was likely to contain information that could possibly reveal information that may contributed to the spoiling of a movies plot for the audience. It prevented people from having their enjoyment of a film ruined. Now, some might argue that a line such as 'want to know what Indy is doing?' implies that you should only click, if you genuinely want to know something - however with the stupid titles some of these threads have, you never quite know what your gonna get. My advice... spoiler notices are the way forward. Use it.... dont abuse it.
They're shooting at Sony Studios now by Film Whisperer	Sep 28th, 2007 10:56:10 AM

The movie should open in the warehouse! by performingmonkey	Sep 28th, 2007 11:10:05 AM
It should start with exactly the same shot as the end of Raiders then fade to '25 years later' or something, it comes back and the fucking Commies arrive, Cate Blanchett (who's face we don't see) is saying to the other guys 'it MUST be around here...the Ark of the Covenant!' we get shots of them opening other crates and there's a ton of references to other events with what's in the crates.

Shia = okay in my book by The Addict	Sep 28th, 2007 11:58:25 AM
I have a friend that did some extra work for the flick when they were up in Connecticut. She couldn't give me any good details, but she said that Shia fucks with Harrison as much as possible; most notable occurrence? Indy's bending over, so Shia runs up behind him and while slapping his ass says "FORDY! FORDY FORDY!" classic

The Dubliner, Fuckhead by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz	Sep 28th, 2007 12:05:49 PM
How about having enough common sense that if there is a story with the name Indiana Jones and what he's been up to in the title knowing that there will be a spoiler. Goddammit some people are so fucking stupid.

Could the Ark... by Etienne72772	Sep 28th, 2007 12:35:03 PM
But then again, it would be interesting to see what else is in that warehouse... Oh, and those complaining about spoilers--what did you expect???
Etienne72772 by BetaRayBill07	Sep 28th, 2007 12:47:00 PM
Geez never thought of that....what the hell else might be kept locked away in there.......?
Need the Music by tuddlefo	Sep 28th, 2007 12:49:29 PM
Will non-die hard fans recognize the warehouse? To help, they should add the music from Raiders during this scene. A really cool part of Last Crusade is when they are in the catacombs in Venice and pass the picture of the Ark and the old music starts up.
I have the most AWESOME theory of this movie... by soccerfan33	Sep 28th, 2007 12:55:26 PM
What if, the Russians DO take control of the chrystal skulls and will overrun the world with them... and Indy is like 'It's over. We are screwed'. But then an idea pops in his head: 'there might be ONE way to defeat them...but we would have to raid a highly secured warehouse to get it--THE ARK OF THE COVENANT. That way it becomes like CLASH OF THE TITANS! Ark vs. chrystal skulls. Like Persius could not defeat the Kraken, unless he first cut off Medusa's head. Man, I hope they go this route.
soccerfan33 by tuddlefo	Sep 28th, 2007 12:58:46 PM
Indy didn't know it was in the warehouse. He thought Top Men were working on it.
Warehouse Scene = Uncreative Retreading by NoDiggity	Sep 28th, 2007 01:00:10 PM
That's not 100% certain, mind you, but it's a VERY bad sign. What was great about the first movie was that it got to be creative, without having to look over it's shoulder muttering "Have we made it Raidersy enough? Hmm. Better put a Warehouse scene in." There are tons of other little signs of this sort of thing ... the presence of Marion (though I love Karen Allen and will forgive a lot of retreading, regarding her, unless she's forced to regurgitate lines from Raiders) but we've already got Russians filling the role of Nazis. Pray, please pray, that lines like "It's not the mileage, it's the years" don't appear in the film. Cos that's gonna make the fat coca-cola swilling fanboys laugh, snorting through their lard constricted throats, but it won't be a good movie.
Tuddeflo by soccerfan33	Sep 28th, 2007 01:00:25 PM
You're missing the point dude. He could still go 'the government has it somewhere. Let's find it'. My POINT is that this route would make an awesome indy movie.
How much you wanna bet by samurai sark	Sep 28th, 2007 01:01:49 PM
Sean Connery makes a cameo. Or doesn't. Either way, this whole movie is really just a big cover for Cloverfield. The end is nigh bitches!
soccerfan33 by PirateEmery	Sep 28th, 2007 01:04:02 PM
As stupid as that idea was, I like it. I like it a lot. Melting Nazi People vs. Alien Cursed People.
soccerfan33 by SimpleSandwiches	Sep 28th, 2007 01:11:37 PM
Funny/good/geek idea, not a good idea for an IJ movie. In all 3 movies, the bad guy(s)' demise has been due to their own hubris. Indy really doesn't lift a finger, so to speak, to defeat the main villian.
No by tuddlefo	Sep 28th, 2007 01:12:01 PM
It's horrible, this idea of yours.
The Warehouse is an "Iconic Location" ???? by NoDiggity	Sep 28th, 2007 01:13:22 PM
Why? Why do you want to see what it looks like? The whole point of the Warehouse, in the first movie, was that it was NOT iconic. It was a monotonous mountain of identical crates within which the Ark, which had been established as an artifact of awesome power, would be lost and forgotten. It was FUNNY because of the contrast between the boring banality of all those rows of crates and the specialness of the Ark, and also because of the effort made throughout the movie to obtain it. I have no idea why anyone would want to see it again. The first movie promised NOTHING exciting about it. The opposite of exciting was the whole point.
Extras have careers? by Pops Freshemeyer	Sep 28th, 2007 01:22:04 PM
Since when?
IN FACT, if the warehouse break-in is for the Skull ... by NoDiggity	Sep 28th, 2007 01:22:34 PM
or some other artifact, it takes away from the first movie. The Warehouse becomes a repository for tons of other exciting things, other than the Ark. Which messes with the whole point of the first movie, that the warehouse was a boring place EXCEPT for the Ark.
NoDiggity by Mr. Nice Gaius	Sep 28th, 2007 01:26:04 PM
The warehouse in the final scene of RAIDERS is one of the most iconic moments in film history. (As a closing shot, it's rarely been equaled.) In fact, your post contains many of the reasons WHY it is iconic. I think you have misunderstood yourself.
"the warehouse was a boring place EXCEPT for the Ark." by Mr. Nice Gaius	Sep 28th, 2007 01:29:09 PM
Nope. It left you wondering what else could possibly be stored there - especially if it was worthy of storing the Ark.
Doc, Yeah, it's an iconic scene ... by NoDiggity	Sep 28th, 2007 01:30:16 PM
... but it's iconic because of how it relates to the rest of the film. Take it out of that context, and it's no longer iconic. So I don't know why anyone wants to see it again. Seeing it again ruins WHY it was "iconic" in the first place, do ya ken ?
Who said the warehouse was a boring place? by TheThirdMan	Sep 28th, 2007 01:30:39 PM
NoDiggity...you are an idiot. The warehouse wasn't boring, it was mysterious. I didn't think 'Oh, they're storing the Ark in a furniture warehouse', I thought where the fuck is that warehouse, and what the fuck else is in it.
But... by TheThirdMan	Sep 28th, 2007 01:31:51 PM
I agree that seeing the warehouse again diminishes the mystery.
Warehouse Could be Boring by tuddlefo	Sep 28th, 2007 01:33:18 PM
I always thought the warehouse was used to affirm what Indy says at the end of Raiders - "They don't know what they've got there." Basically the US didn't care what the ark was or did, they just knew Hitler wanted it so they hired Indy to take it back
Nice Gaius, I don't believe it was supposed to ... by NoDiggity	Sep 28th, 2007 01:33:53 PM
... leave you wondering. It was a joke. Just a joke. A joke about how powerful and special the Ark was, and how it's importance was dismissed by the authorities. It was a counterpoint to the "Best Men" line. That line was a lie, and the Warehouse was the proof of that lie, not a promise of untold wonders OTHER than the Ark.
NoDiggity by Mr. Nice Gaius	Sep 28th, 2007 01:37:20 PM
Who are you calling "Doc"?
Use of Warehouse by tuddlefo	Sep 28th, 2007 01:37:30 PM
What I hope the warehouse is used for in new movie - Indy finds himself in the warehouse for some reason besides the ark. Unknown to him he runs/walks past the crate with the Ark in it. Camera zooms in on Crate. Cue the music from Raiders. And then the camera goes back to Indy and the action/story at hand.
Tuddlefo, that's exactly what I hope won't be in it. by NoDiggity	Sep 28th, 2007 01:40:01 PM
Someone already said a scene like that was in CRUSADE, yes? They pass a picture of the Ark and the Ark music plays for a second? So why do you want to see a scene like that again? Is that all Indy fans want, regurgitations of the familiar, over and over?
Wasn't the warehouse a MATTE PAINTING? by JMoe	Sep 28th, 2007 01:40:30 PM
So is it really a reproduction?
Uhhhh.... by Kid Z	Sep 28th, 2007 01:40:54 PM
... applying Preparation H in copious quantities?
tuddlefo by Mr. Nice Gaius	Sep 28th, 2007 01:43:07 PM
I can easily concede your perception based on the "They don't know what they've got there." line. But I also fancy the idea that these "top men" have been boxing up significant artifacts for years. There could be ANYTHING in that warehouse. And the fact that the Ark was stored there makes me wonder what else was put into a crate and forgotten. BTW: nice guess on the possible use of the warehouse in the new film. I was actually thinking of a scene very similar to the one you described. (It could also serve as a tip-o-the-hat to the crypt/Ark seen in THE LAST CRUSADE.)
It's only iconic by TheNothing	Sep 28th, 2007 01:45:55 PM
because of how it relates to the rest of the film? What scene in ANY movie would have ANY relevance without the rest of the movie around it?
Who is Rocklords? by Kid Z	Sep 28th, 2007 01:47:00 PM
Hulk not like stupid Rocklords. Stupid men-made-from-rocks make Hulk think of Thing. Hulk not like stupid Thing or any rock-people! Even rock-people that look like rubber in movies. Hulk smash! But Hulk wonder what this have to do with old-man-archaeologist-in-stupi d-fedora hat???
Mr. Nice Gaius by TheNothing	Sep 28th, 2007 01:47:58 PM
Exactly what I've always thought about the warehouse. "What else are they sitting on?"
TheNothing, that's the point. by NoDiggity	Sep 28th, 2007 01:48:52 PM
That's why it shouldn't be re-used. Because it's point, and why it's iconic, was because of the context of the first movie. Taking it out of that context and turning into something else (repository for other cools stuff) ruins what made it iconic in the first place.
Raiders Script by tuddlefo	Sep 28th, 2007 01:59:55 PM
I don't know if this solves any mystery of what Lucas/Spielberg wanted the warehouse to be originally (or how it will be) but this is how the Raiders Script reads the last scene- INT. GOVERNMENT WAREHOUSE The Ark of the Covenant sits in a wooden crate. A wooden lid comes down and hides it from view. The lid is solidly nailed to the crate as we read the stenciled message on top - TOP SECRET ARMY INTEL. #9906753 DO NOT OPEN! The hammering is completed and hands shift the heavy crate onto a dolly. THE END CREDITS ROLL AS WE SEE - A Little Old Government Warehouseman begins pushing the crated Ark down as aisle. Soon we see that the aisle is formed by huge stacks or crates. They come in many shapes and sizes, but when it comes right down to it, they all look like the one that holds the Ark. All have markings like the message we've just seen. Pretty soon we're far enough and high enough away from the Little Old Government Warehouseman to see that this is one of the biggest rooms in the world. And it is full. Crates and crates. All looking alike. All gathering dust. And then we notice that the Little Old Government Warehouseman, pushing his new crate ahead of him, has turned into another aisle and disappeared from view. FADE OUT: THE END
Kurzinski Valentine, about Indy and snakes on a plane by wackybantha	Sep 28th, 2007 02:01:50 PM
Yes, Indy & Dad are on a plane in LAST CRUSADE when they are escaping from Germany but the snake on a plane that you are remembering happens in RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK in the beginning when Indy is escaping from the Hovitos tribe. The snake is the pilot's pet snake Reggie & Indy NEVER throws him out of the plane. Never happened. Although I'm sure he wanted to do just that. The pilot's name is Jock. I always thought that was an odd name. However, in the film SNAKES ON A PLANE, a bunch of snakes are jettisoned from the aircraft. Perhaps you are confusing that film with the Indy films. HAHAHA!!!
Top. Men. by Hercules	Sep 28th, 2007 02:08:35 PM
One of the most iconic images in the history of movies as far as I'm concerned.
NoDiggity by TheNothing	Sep 28th, 2007 02:47:34 PM
I think you're one of the few who thinks it was meant to be portrayed as just a normal warehouse. I've always thought it was a place of well-kept secrets, not just a place for random boxes. Pretty much everyone I've ever discussed or watched that movie with has felt exactly the same way.
Not saying by TheNothing	Sep 28th, 2007 03:01:58 PM
that I don't respect your opinion. Who knows, I could've been dead wrong all these years.
tuddlefo, I hope you're idea is right by finky089	Sep 28th, 2007 03:05:41 PM
I can see where the warehouse could come in to play as a storage area for supernatural and powerful artifacts that the US doesn't want falling into "the wrong hands". That's what I've always thought of it as being, hence the slow pull back at the end of Raiders to reveal this HUGE warehouse full of many other "artifacts", perhaps? The Ark has been done and I can't see the filmmakers having much more than a nod to it in this film. I don't think we'll see anyone take the Ark out again. It shall remain Mint in Box hopefully.
Yes, the warehouse is a treasure trove... by DocPazuzu	Sep 28th, 2007 03:11:23 PM
...of awesome, cool and distrubing things the government has been collecting for analysis for decades, but the point is that it's STILL too unwieldy a collection for the government to deal with, despite all the meticulous labeling and cataloging. Trust me, I'm a librarian and know how this type of thing can get out of hand. It's inevitable that the Ark will soon become forgotten, buried in the minutiae of federal bureaucracy forever. I've always thought of it as a cool modern parallel to the story of how the Ark was swallowed by the sands and lost in ancient times, as if God made the Ark disappear once more. This is really why I don't like a revisit to the warehouse.
The Warehouse... by Etienne72772	Sep 28th, 2007 03:12:04 PM
My feelings on the warehouse are actually a bit of "what else do they have there" AND "they don't know what they have." It always seemed to me that the final message of the movie was that the government has been collecting powerful relics for years without knowing what they really have. Hence, they box them up.
In fact... by DocPazuzu	Sep 28th, 2007 03:14:58 PM
...I'm sure that warehouse -- being federally run -- is not only full of extraordinary things, but also of tons of excrutiatingly mundane things like crates full of screws and orders which were misplaced. That's the beauty of it: the government doesn't have the time or resources so it's a huge fucking case of "I'll save that thing for later".

This is so hard to believe because??? by JaPra	Sep 28th, 2007 05:15:38 PM
They're using a fucking crate with Jones's fedora nesting perfectly on it. This crate has an uncanny resemblence to the crate seen at the end of Raiders. Why is this so surprising? They're practically giving this information away.
TheNothing, Imagination is fine ... by NoDiggity	Sep 28th, 2007 05:20:33 PM
... but don't confuse it with what the movie itself was trying to tell us about that warehouse. As someone else pointed out, the warehouse follows right after Indy says "They don't know what they have", and it's supposed to emphasize that they don't know what they have. If the warehouse is a place for cool supernatural stuff to be stored, then that means the Ark is being put there because they consider it a cool supernatural thing, and are putting it in the place for cool supernatural things. But, as Indy says, they don't know what they have, which means that the warehouse is a BORING place, where the Ark will be lost again. Imagining the warehouse as a cool place ruins what the original film was trying to say. Nowhere in the original film is it hinted that there's anything remotely cool there except the Ark. Indy's words are what are supposed to guide us in our attitude towards the warehouse. I hardly think I'm the only one who reacts to it the way the film kind of insisted that I react to it.

Ford has a scene where he barebacks Shia for a good 12 minutes in the iconic warehouse....many bothans died to bring us this information.
Probably the Ark starts to shake come alive or somethin by snowpuff	Sep 28th, 2007 05:28:00 PM
And this is noticed in The Warehouse. I dunno. This all sounds like the scriptwriters watched a lot of Stargate SG-1.

Further proof you can't read... not only did you badly misread my Invisible Man post, you clearly failed to pick up on the 17 reams of print that have been written about this rumour so far. Spoiler alert? Please. What exactly has been spoiled here? There certainly aren't any details about what HAPPENS in there. Besides, people have been talking about this little subplot arc for ages. I, for one, wasn't surprised in the least to hear it. If anything, I'm with Moriarty; all it does is get me all the more amped up about seeing this film. So cool your jets. And learn to read. You'll be happier.
Am I wrong or is there a rumor that the warehouse... by wackybantha	Sep 28th, 2007 05:46:29 PM

What if? by Juju the Journalist	Sep 28th, 2007 05:51:14 PM
I was just wondering...are there some people who do believe the film can be the BEST of the quadrilogy? I mean, who really believe it, who could die in a geeky way for their belief? I'm not one of them of course. But are there any chances it can happen? I 've never seen anyone imagine this probability:-( This movie will be "oh it was fun having Indy back hoeny! You wanna go to Starbucks and have coffee?" http://tinyurl.com/2xnwqe
NoDiggity is right. The warehouse shot was a gag, by CreasyBear	Sep 28th, 2007 06:21:12 PM
meant to show the government's inability to realize the importance or relevance of the Ark. Juxtapose the mystic, spiritual power with dry, dusty, modern uniformity.
Not So Hot On The Warehouse Idea by skoobyx	Sep 28th, 2007 06:54:31 PM
It is iconic (as a scene from a film) but it ruins it to set an entire scene or the whole plot on it no? Anyway, I'm still holding out some hope.
Creasy Bear by Carnotaur3	Sep 28th, 2007 07:16:22 PM
He's not right. Why would the government hand over an ancient old relic to their military if they had no idea what they had? I think they know damn well what they have.
I am still a doubter & a hater. by Daddylonghead	Sep 28th, 2007 07:44:07 PM
I think Spielberg lost his magic a loooong time ago. I will go on record saying this movie will rank somewhere between Die Hard IV and the Star Wars Prequels, quality-wise.

Hate's a strong word... by Childe Roland	Sep 28th, 2007 08:15:07 PM
...but I still think this movie is totally unnecessary. I'm open to the notion that they might be doing it right...that Ford might be acting at least close to his age...and so I'll probably see it. But I'm not at all stoked.

if they want the frelling extras to keep their secrets by Trader Groucho 2	Sep 29th, 2007 01:47:23 AM
they should screen 'em like they were being hired for the CIA, AND they should pay 'em something above SAG minimum for BG. AKA show the poor sods some respect. If they think the BG is creaming themselves over being on the Indy set, maybe they did. For five minutes. After that.... I'll bet the rat was a non-union guy making minimum wage who couldn't care anyway.
Cross of Coronado by wackybantha	Sep 29th, 2007 01:56:08 AM
I bet that cross that Indy gave to the museum may reappear to do battle against the Crystal Skull & the Ark of the Covenant. And Yes, I am an idiot.

Indy was wrong and so are most of you by slone13	Sep 29th, 2007 09:50:47 AM
The "bureaucratic fools" knew exactly what they had. Namely something that was more powerful than they could possibly comprehend. They knew damn well "top men" were never going to do any research on the Ark whatsoever. It was beliberately stored (i.e. hidden) in the warehouse so that no one would ever be able to use it again.
You can view the warehouse two ways... by Etienne72772	Sep 29th, 2007 12:27:16 PM
First, that the government is a bunch of bureaucratic idiots, and they truly do not know what they have--hence, burying this thing in a warehouse of nothing, lost forever. Or, you can view the government as being extremely powerful, like Hitler WANTED to become, but couldn't. Hitler was going after one thing. The US government? They not only have the ark, but about 5000 other items of power. They are drenched in so much power, they don't know what to do with it all. I always took the view that the US government WAS what Hitler wanted to become.

Harrison Ford REALLY needs to stop eating. by brezzel	Sep 30th, 2007 10:18:00 AM

Where they were THIS week by ElectricDreams	Sep 30th, 2007 12:15:30 PM
They've been on the Warner Bros lot filming all this past week on Stage 16. Karen Allen and Harrison Ford were spotted coming and going from their trailers from many of the studios staff, I saw Karen Allen myself just standing outside the soundstage, she looked GREAT! Friday there was nothing going on, it was quiet, peeked in the stage which as I reported before looks like a giant Aztec temple/cave...similar to something in the Indy ride at Disneyland. Security were still tight about not letting anyone in w/o a GENRE pass. -ED
Yeah, INDY'S got a gut. So what? by seniorspeilbergio	Sep 30th, 2007 02:01:05 PM
I remember hearing two years ago that Speilberg asked Ford not to work out too much because he wanted Indy to be a little out of shape. Probably has something to do with the age thing. It does take place in the 50's after all and I wonder if this means maybe Indy hasn't been on one of his "trips" in while. Perhaps he's called back into action in this one.
There are a lot of artifacts in there... by wadi77	Sep 30th, 2007 09:07:24 PM
Not necessarily they’re looking for the Ark there. But still, with the official site showing a crate with a serial number almost identical to the one of the Ark, still get me curious.
