Indiana Jones 4 is In Production!

It's sure to be a good movie, I'm hoping it will be anyway. Shame that Sean Connery wont be in it though, he was great as Indiana's Dad.

And here's the man himself

He looks pretty good.

I hope the movie is good.

I really really do.

So, out of curiosity, which one is everyone's favorite Indy movie? 1 or 3?

I hope the movie is good.

Me too. So far, they seem to be playing it smart. For example, it's set in the 50s, which would make it at least a dozen years after the last one. So Indy will be significantly older. It would have been stupid to try to make Harrison play Indy at the same age as before.

Here's a video from the official site, of the first day of shooting, w00t!

And another with Shia LaBeouf, but right now it doesn't seem to want to load.

They hide that walking frame pretty well .

Is Chewbacca in this one?

While "The Last Crusade" is my favorite of the three films, I admit that I've seen "Temple of Doom" more times than one and three combined. Probably because it was on TV all the time when I was an adolescent and I thought the ripping-heart-out-of-chest scene was the coolest thing ever.

I was a strange kid.

Temple of Doom had its moments, that's for sure. I loved Indy's reaction in the plane when she asked him if he could fly:

"No ... can you?"

The look on his face as he said that was priceless. But I too would have to say The Last Crusade was the best.

Someone I know counted how many times Kate Capshaw screamed in "Temple of Doom." I forget the number, but it was something insane. The woman screamed *a lot* in that movie.

I can't wait for it to be out. You know, to be honest, I only watched on Indy movie before, but with the new one coming out I thought I'd brush up on the others. I'm suprised I went this long without seeing them. I know some big Indy fans.

Boy, he looks old and tired. What's with all these AARP action heroes? First Rocky, then McClane, and now Indie...

*snickers* That's great.

I think Hollywood's just trying to make money off old successes. Or er, giving the people what they want. Depends on what the people want. I think people have been lobbying for a new Indy movie for a long time.

More to the point, which is everyone's favourite IndyGirl?
I mean, of course Karen Allen'll win hands down. But I thought I'd ask anyway.

Hmmm, I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not. I am a fan of the trilogy but Ford is getting along in years. This could be disastrous.
Is Vic Armstrong involved?

Btw, Raiders is the best and Crusade a close second.

Further proof that Hollywood is running out of ideas.

Karen Allen is the best, and I'm glad she's back in this one. Her character in Lost Ark was just adorable.

I'd say yes and no to that.

Yes, in that Hollywood recycles like nobody's business. Not only are we inundated with sequel upon sequel, many supposedly new movies are just retreaded old ideas.

No, in that Hollywood is pandering to the masses with some of these films by giving them what they're clamouring for and sometimes they deliver an engaging, entertaining story.

Hopefully Spielberg & co will do that with Indy4. My personal hope is that they will be relatively realistic when it comes to Indy's age. That was my biggest beef with the recent Rocky movie. The story was decent enough, but the fight itself stretched credulity. I could believe Rocky could get in the ring for an exhibition fight with the champ pulling his punches, but there's no way he would go the full distance, especially after the champ started fighting for real.

So as long as they don't get ridiculous with Indy, this movie could be a lot of fun.

With his age, the story will have to be set in, say, 1960s? I wonder whom Indie will be fighting...

Maybe he'll team up with James Bond?

Oh man, I am so excited.

Maybe Indie will rock with the Beatles.

According to the site, it's set in the 50s, so that's not so bad. The earlier films were all pre-WWII.

ETA: the Shia LeBeouf video now appears to be working. Just give it a little time to load, it's longer than the other one.

My favorite Indy movie is Raiders. Temple of Doom comes in at a close second. Although the Last Crusade was awesome I believe I liked Temple of Doom better because I was around Short and Round's age when I saw it. So I could totally relate to the character.

I loved the female lead in Raiders and who could resist the monkey. Poor monkey.
