Indiana Jones

By Dave Parrack Digital Spy reports how the Indy filmmakers are keen to get Sean Connery, who played Henry Jones Sr. in The Last Crusade, back on board for the fifth Indy film, even though it was heavily reported he’d turned down The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull. A source said:

By Kirsten Anderson “The story for the new Indiana Jones is in the process of taking form,” Ford told France’s Le Figaro. “Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and myself are agreed on what the fifth adventure will concern, and George is actively at work. If the script is good, I’ll be very happy to put the costume on ag...

By Kirsten Anderson On one hand, they revere absolutely everything about “Star Wars” and the universe; on the other hand, they feel his latest movies (including “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”) have been utter crap. They also feel exploited by the endless amount of merchandise Lucasfil...

By Dave Parrack Drake, along with his long-time friend Victor “Sully” Sullivan and journalist Elena Fisher, goes to South America in search of the lost city of El Dorado. Things don’t exactly go according to plan, with a rival treasure hunter getting in the way, as well as some particularly nasty foes who...

By Dave Parrack Now, the book is being turned into a movie, with The Hollywood Reporter claiming Jeff Nathanson has signed on to write and direct the adaptation. Nathanson seems a good choice, having worked on two Rush Hour movies, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Catch Me If You Can, and...

By Dave Parrack As for the main actors, Bay claimed that Megan Fox’s acting had “vastly improved over the last one,” which is good because it couldn’t really get much worse. Shia LaBeouf is said to be “more charismatic”. Is that even possible? He must have taken some lessons from Harrison Ford while making I...

By Dave Parrack Seriously, The Goonies 2? As much as I’d love to see it happen, how would it even be possible? The cast are all getting on a little now and it would be like watching a bunch of 30-year-olds go on a children’s adventure. Bad idea. Then again, Harrison Ford pulled it off as Indiana Jones and he’s 67!

By Kirsten Anderson I always loved Harrison Ford. Did I love Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? No. But I loved seeing Harrison Ford in it. I always loved Harrison Ford. Did I love Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? No. But I loved seeing Harrison Ford in it.

By Dave Parrack Indiana Jones is certainly a character that could endure the test of time. While Harrison Ford may be getting a bit too long in the tooth to keep swinging his way through adventures, there’s a ready made replacement waiting in the wings in the form of Shia LaBeouf. What are the chances of Mutt W...

By Kirsten Anderson Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is still probably playing in some multiplexes, but that doesn’t mean it’s too early to talk about an addition to the series. Hey, when you sell nearly $750 million worth of tickets, people are going to talk.

By Dave Parrack The new Indiana Jones film The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull has done phenomenally well in its first weekend of release, and the series return has captured the imagination of all those who saw the original trilogy as well as a new generation of fans.

By Dave Parrack The pot revolves around the search and then race to return an ancient mystical skull with special powers to its former home in a Mayan temple. On one side we have Harrison Ford’s Indiana Jones, Shia Labeouf’s Mutt Williams, and various followers and hangers-on, and on the other members of t...

By Kirsten Anderson So next week, what will happen to Indy? Are the big numbers a product of it just being “the” movie to see this weekend? Or will it hang on and continue to do well? Will its audiences plummet? Or will it hold on like this year’s other (so far) big hit, Iron Man? We’ll see…  But how will the toys sell...

By Kirsten Anderson Imagine that the big movie opening this weekend was just called The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. There is no Raiders, no Temple of Doom, and no Last Crusade. We’ve never met Indiana Jones before and don’t know what he did in World War II. Marion Williams is just an ex-girlfriend of an aged her...

By Dave Parrack The cast is probably the best ever assembled for an Indy film, featuring Harrison Ford as Indy of course, Shia LaBeouf as his son Mutt Williams, Karen Allan as Marion Ravenwood, John Hurt as Professor Oxley, Ray Winstone as George McHale and Cate Blanchett as Irina Spalko. That’s a veritab...

By Dave Parrack We knew the opening of Indiana Jones and The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull was going to big, and that has indeed proved the case with the film reportedly having managed a £25 million opening Thursday. While that is top notch, it doesn’t come anywhere close to matching the $50 million taken by S...
