Apparently GL approved the new Indiana Jones script by Jeff Nathanson. He was invited to GL's ranch to go over the draft (to ammend it). Hopefully GL's mark will not be witnessed beyond the conceptual realm.

GL-"Give Indy two whips...yeah, two is better than one"

"...and when he loses his fedora down the mine shaft I want a deep glottal 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO'".

"...and I want Shortround to be back, but he's a midget and never grew, because I love giving work to midgets and dwarves".

Oh, the indignity a screenwriter must feel when the author of ROTS picks over his lines.

At this point, Speilberg should fit GL with a muzzle. His opinion on any script is null and void. But, he did not write it, so there is hope. I will laugh my ass off if I see Indy sporting two whips. If we could listen in on GL's thought process, I think we would just hear the intro to Pink Floyd's Money over and over. ka ching ka ching ka ching......

Moving this one to the Movie forum.

I can't wait to see this one.

Indiana Jones went downhill in the 3rd movie, that film was TERRIBLE. The fourth better be good.... but it probably won't.

The third episode deviated too much with that ancient Templar character, and Connery was a distraction. The first two were extraordinary!

I couldn't agree more. Sean Connery was too much of a distraction ; and offered nothing more than cheap humour and bland lines. I was too scared to say anything about him in my last post, since a lot of people I know actually LIKED his character.

EDIT - I forgot a smiley. Oh me, oh my! lol

-Pro's: I doubt either Ford or Spielberg would allow Lucas's influence to downgrade the script.

Con's-Lucas still has the final say....And I dont think the world is clamouring to see Indiana Jones in his last crude days. Ford is too old, and I cringe to think about even seeing one CGI shot of Indy since I doubt Ford can do most of the stunts anymore

I agree with Michel Orla on this one.

We should start a petition to ban Indy 4.

Actually.. I don't think Lucas has final say. Apparently Ford has to approve it still, and he is the pickiest of the three. Also Speilberg got one of the writers he works with to take the latest stab at it. SO I think it should be good.

As for the fedora down the mine shaft... haven't you learnd from the films, that the hat never gets lost... NEVER! Even after falling off a cliff, he still has it come back to him. It is a constant thing in the movies, and they have said so.

[Michel Orla]

The Bloody News has an article with the reported title of Indy 4 movie. I really hope Harrison Ford was joking when he said this.














INDIANA JONES and the OPAL OF THE MER-MAN PRINCE

As stupid as it sounds, it fits right in with The Phantom Menance and Attack of the Clones for stupidest titles G.L. could think of. Without the Nazi's in this one I wonder if there will be heros on both sides...

[looktothesky]

That's a reported title though. They still have time to change it!

Like with the Silent Hill movie; its reported title is Centralia, but they're thinking of changing it to Silent Hill instead.

[srmoore]

I wonder if they want to sort of dis-associate it from the game. I could see how they might want to do that so movie goers who don't like videogames don't feel as if it is closed off to them, in a sense.

Like Doom.. could be.. .Monsters On Mars.. or Ghosts of Mars 2: Electric Boogaloo

(hehe.. electric boogaloo... was in a sort of discussion about that earlier today.. hehe)

Ford's the one who said he likes the title But I do hope it's change. That still begs the question, why the hell is Indy going after something like the opal of a mer-man. I sure hope neither the title or the movie itself has nothing to do with that. The lost city of Atlantis was the best idea for Indy 4 when it was kicking around

There will be a Silent Hill movie Day-um, that's gonna be sweet

It's due for release in 2006 I believe. I also live in the city (Brantford) where the town scenes were filmed, since the downtown area is a spitting image of Silent Hill. I also managed to walk through the movie set, but I didn't have a camera on me.

My little sister has a collection of the grey fuzz and hay they used to cover the ground, though.
