Hey! I heard the title for the new Jones movie -

INDIANA JONES AND THE ANNUAL COLONOSCOPY!

Plot - Indiana, presently recovering from a little "work" performed by an infamous Beverly Hills "doctor', in an attempt to free his aging father from the evil clutches of the Sunny Days Rest Home and its proprieter, Dr. Geritol, enlists the help of his now wheel-chair bound compatriot Sahla, his former protege (who now runs Honda Motors) Short Round and his first love, Marion and her four grand-children to infiltrate the nefarious organization whose headquarters reside on the ancient burial ground of the Amway Tribe in beautiful downtown Burbank, California. Will he succeed? It DEPENDS.

It's a must see!

Sadly enough that plot is probably more solid than the last INDY based video game. Please GOD let them make a good movie lol.

latest interview w/ Lucas

http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/content/oct2006/db20061010_985131.htm
Lucas donates$175 million to alma mater.
Drops hints about the next Indy film.
He's working on a film on Tuskegee airmen.
And a pair of StarWars tv shows.

To quote jake_fink:
As far as Indy 4 goes, I'm scared, actually frightened, that George Lucas will rape and destroy yet another childhood playground of mine.

I'm not too worried. Lucas wont be directing. Spielberg is still in the Director's chair. Lets hope they get a better script than the War ofthe Worlds Remake.

Its interesting that Lucas has been the one rejecting the earlier scripts.

I wonder about the rumour of NataliePortman playing Idy's daughter.

I know, but the corrupting touch of stinkyness is everlasting now with him.

I periodically check here - http://www.theraider.net/films/indy4/index.php - for news and rumors about the Indy film.

Thank goodness theres nothing in Raiders to remaster!
Well maybe all those crazy lightnign bolts at the end.

Didn't they digitially clean up some of the mechanical effects. The reflection of the cobra on the glass between it and Harrison Ford, for example, or the log that was used to tip the truck that exploded (leading Indy to believe Marion had been killed).

Yes, they cleaned up the cobra scene. I read Lucas wanted the swordsman to shoot first but outraged fans gave Lucas some pause with regards to changing too much.

But Lucas got stupid with his anti-violence cleanups there for a bit. (see ET)

Was that Lucas or Spielberg's call?

Anyone see that cartoon parody? SavingPrivateRyan's NormandyBeach sequence redone w/o guns, just walkietalkies. I think it was on FAMILYGUY.

I am sorry to have missed that one. South Park did a take on the Lucas/Spielberg revisions. The kids try to save Lucas' movies from himself. I remember a really funny Raiders of the Lost Ark sequence.

Another aging 'Indy' shot from the files.

[Doh!]

I'll jsut say one thing about GeorgeLucas.
Empire StrikeBack was arguably the best directed of all the StarWars films. And it was not directed by Lucas.

After watching the new trilogy, I started to wonder if he really directed American Graffiti himself; that's STILL a brilliant film and I see nothing of the same talent in his subsequent work.

As long as Spielberg directs Indy 4, at least it'll be competent filmmaking, regardless of how bad the script might be.

I hope.

I'm disgusted to hear that they're obviously going the Indy-meets-the-son-he-never-knew-he-had-by-Marion-or-Willie route. I realize that this continues the character arc of Indy coming to terms with his own father in Last Crusade, and allows them to go for a bunch of finally-having-to-admit-he's-no-longer-young story points... but after all the scripts, rewrites, and delays, I was hoping for a more original approach.

OTOH, it's not like the Indy films haven't been highly traditional (besides retro) from the start. Let's just hope that Spielberg (who has continued to grow as a filmaker) can reign in Lucas (who has actually been getting worse ever since American Graffiti) in terms of unbelivable acting and over-reliance on special effects!
