Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

[ffolkes]

indy 4 has a name now, which sounds just as corny as you might expect from george lucas.

nevertheless, i'm still pumped for this film (yes despite the fact that harrison's pushing pension, despite the fact that lucas is an idiot, etc) why? cos it has spielberg, ford and williams on board. and it's an indiana jones movie. that's a fucking good thing.

when i'll hear the ta-tada-daa tune in the cinema i will piss in my pants and cry whilst doing standing ovations and scream for joy. bring on 2008

mmm... no news on what this is about yet... ??

i'm expecting He-man and Skellator in this one...

unless its featuring a quest to recover a missing Damian Hirst art peice...

still at least its moving - titles usually mean a bit of progress has been made in development.... at least with Lucas....

the "kingdom" apparently hints at the mayans... set pics from indy 4 confirm this.

Indy movies are a hommage to those Saturday afternoon adventure movies. So the corniness of the title is appropriate IMO.

yeah i am totally aware of that, but imo there's corny and then there's phantom menace corny. that's just me.

other registered titles for indy 4 were

- Indiana Jones and the City of Gods
- Indiana Jones and the Destroyer of Worlds
- Indiana Jones and the Fourth Corner of the Earth
- Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
- Indiana Jones and the Lost City of Gold
- Indiana Jones and the Quest for the Covenant

i dunno, somehow kingdom of the crystal skull just doesn't sound as hot as city of gods would. but it's a minor complaint: i'm just happy to have indy back.

I've seen a ton of extras in brown German soldier outfits walking around the lot, which shouldn't be a big surprise for an Indiana Jones movie. Ford has been spotted in the weight room several times and I hear he's quite in shape.[/COLOR] [/COLOR]

Ugh, the annoying kid from Transformers the movie is in Indy 4?

*spoiler reply:*

[COLOR=sandybrown]i actually am surprised. i figured there wouldn't be nazis in indy 4, as the war had already ended. you sure they weren't russian uniforms? cos there's been a lot of talk about the film having a cold war setting, thus making the ruskies villains. and the fact that shia labeouf is playing a 50's greaser kind of supports this theory...[/COLOR]
