May 30, 2000 IJ Epic Stunt Spectacular Reopens June 10th Disney MGM Studios is planning to reopen the Indiana Jones stunt show next month, and they are looking for a few good Joneses. The first 500 Central Floridians with the last name Jones who call (407) 566-5335 today through Thursday will get free park admission and a chance to be a part of the show. Thanks to Scott Butler who got this info from the May 29th Orlando Sentinel. I'm guessing they might accept out-of-state Joneses if they don't find enough in the area, so if your last name is Jones you might want to give it a try. If you do, Tell me how it turns out.
May 29, 2000 TheRaider.Net Debuts A cool new Indy site by Gilles Verschuere (aka Webley) and Jawad Mir (of Spielberg-Dreamworks.Com) opens today looking good and packed with info. Check out TheRaider.Net.
May 26, 2000 Spielberg: Indy IV in Preproduction Today Dark Horizons is reporting that in a cyber-lecture given to Liverpool John Moores University on Wednesday, May 24, Spielberg stated that Indy IV "is currently in preproduction." Thanks Oddfeld for the info.
MP3 Indy
Several folks in the Forum have been hankering for Indy MP3's and there has been no shortage of sources: Johnwilliams.cjb.net, Soundfont Island, Indiana Jones Chronicles. None of these places have tracks from the widely available Raiders and Crusade CDs, and I hope we can keep it that way. Remember, everything Indy that we buy, whether they be videos, soundtracks, books, etc. is a vote for Indy. If you have the option of buying a legitimate copy please take it.
May 11, 2000 IGN64 Previews Infernal Machine According to IGN64, the Nintendo 64 version of Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine won't just be a sloppy PC port. In fact, they report that gameplay and graphics are actually superior to the PC implementation.
May 10, 2000 Infernal Machine on N64 Well, it's official. Lucasarts has announced that Infernal Machine for N64 will be released this summer.
May 9, 2000 Rumors Fly on Ford's Next Corona is reporting that Ford's next film will be a return to his action bread and butter with the sci-fi thriller, Gemini Man. Harry Knowles of AICN is very enthusiastic about the possibility, but Ford's representation told Cinescape, "That is absolutely not true." Who knows if he'll ever get around to Indy IV...
May 3, 2000 Indy Scratch 'n' Win FilmForce has posted scans of a set of French lottery cards with an Indy theme, which feature the mugs of Indy, Young Indy, Marion, Mola Ram, Sallah, and Henry Jones Sr. Sacre bleu! I smell a lawsuit. (Scratch that... French resident Pierre Guerry says its officially licensed.)
May 1, 2000 Raiders: One of the Great Movies Not that we needed his thumb to tell us Raiders is a good movie, but Roger Ebert recently added Raiders of the Lost Ark to his list of The Great Movies. His review actually has a few unique insights beyond the usual fare.
Thanks to Brett Lambert for the link.
Spielberg Warms to DVD
I passed on this story the first time, but with the dearth of Indy news, I'm scraping bottom. Why did I pass it up? It adds insult to injury... Lucas is ok-ing a Phantom Menace DVD and Spielberg has given the go ahead for Jaws, Jurassic Park, etc. But there is still no word on Indy DVDs.
April 20, 2000 Indy for N64 Rumored According to Ed's Rumor Report at IGN64.com, a LucasArts employee, who (oddly enough) wants to be known as Jigglypuff has given them the straight scoop. The puffy one says...
I can confirm that INDY is definitely going to be released for the N64, as well as a code-named RHUBARB, which will be a sequel to ROGUE SQUADRON.Thanks to Sean C. for the info...The INDY64 conversion will be essentially the same as the PC version, but with more "bells and whistles" including an enhanced map/loading screen overlay, improved textures, completely new controls, a new camera system, environmental audio and new real-time lighting effects.
April 17, 2000 Fate of IJ Survival Guide Uncertain For those who have been following Fielding's Indiana Jones Adventure and Survival Guide, a book aimed at exercising a kid's adventurous spirit, it's been a long ride. One that began in 1998 and apparently refuses to end. Amazon's site says it has already been released, but an email to Fielding's yielded the following response:
Hi! Thanks for your letter. At this time the date of publication has not been determined. If you'd like, if the book is published we'd be happy to send you an e-mail notice, no obligation to you of course. Thanks for your interest and time.Notice he says, "IF the book is published"... *sigh*
Credit Where It's Due...
I have a couple things to clear up about yesterday's posting of the Selleck photos. The original source for the pics was Mr. Boy's Spielberg page, specifically this page. Plus, the Biography episode these were from was the Spielberg's, not Ford's as previously reported.
April 16, 2000 Indy Game Announcement May 10th... At the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), LucasArts will be making several game announcements. The folks at AdventureGamer.com managed to sneak a peak at some web files which revealed one of the announcements would be Indy-related. Sure, there's a chance (though, in my opinion, quite slim) that another Indy game is in the works... More likely, they'll be announcing Infernal Machine for a new platform, probably one or more of the consoles (i.e. Dreamcast, N64, and Playstation 2).
Pictures of Selleck as Indy
Louis Roesli sent me a couple caps from an episode of Biography, which show Tom Selleck in a fedora talking with Spielberg and probably Karen Allen. ( Pic 1 | Pic 2 ). These pictures make me a little queasy... Harrison was meant to be Indy.
Thanks to The Man with the Hat who confirms that these caps are from the Biography episode chronicling Harrison Ford's life.
IndianaJones.com Back Up...
The corrected entry for IndianaJones.Com in the domain database seems to propagated everywhere. Let's hope this is for good.
April 12, 2000 IndianaJones.com Hijacked! Due to a security problem at the keeper of the domain names, Network Solutions, the domain IndianaJones.com looks like its owned by some guy from Serbia (or Albania or Bosnia, depending on his whim). FilmForce.Net has the full story.
April 5, 2000 Raiders DVD Bootleg Surfaces Posing as a preview of a May 2001 Raiders DVD release, DVD Furax has several faked DVD screencaps and cover scans. Whether its a hoax confined to the net or there will be actual bootlegs is unknown. The one thing we do know, thanks to DVDfile, is that these aren't from Lucasfilm.
April 2, 2000 April Fools! I hope you enjoyed yesterday's April Fool's joke. I wasn't able to get it up until I got here in the afternoon, so you may have missed it. Past years are archived in the Spoofs section.
April 1, 2000 I'm Baa-aack I had a great time on vacation. Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming...
Spielberg's Schedule Fills Up
Today, Steven Spielberg fleshed out his schedule, and Indy is nowhere to be found on it. See the timeline here...
Mar. 24, 2000 Indyfan.com Hiatus I'll be on vacation in Orlando, FL for the next week. This is the first time I'm going to visit Florida since I was a tot, and just my luck they've closed the Indy Stunt Spectacular for repairs. I'll try to have a good time despite the lack of Indy... :-)
Mar. 22, 2000 George's Collection Ok, George you win. According to a recent InStyle magazine blurb, George Lucas keeps his Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award next to the Holy Grail, Henry Sr.'s diary, and Indy's whip and fedora at Skywalker Ranch. FilmForce has a scan of George posing near his Indy (and other) artifacts.
Mar. 21, 2000 Young Indy Storyboards Today's FilmForce gives a tip to those visiting LA. Among the props at the Hollywood Museum, look for the storyboards from the young Indy opening of Last Crusade.
New Mystery Indy Script Appears
A recent Forum post points to a mysterious script named Indiana Jones and the Tomb of Ice. No source is given. More than likely it's a fan creation, but I'd appreciate any solid leads on the source of this script.
Mar. 20, 2000 Fan-Created Egyptian Papyrus Inspired by Raiders, Indiana Magnoli has crafted a papyrus depicting the Ark and the bird from the Staff of Ra headpiece, framed by two manifestations of the god Ra. Check it out here.
Mar. 15, 2000 A Funny Definition of Soon Spielberg's previously uncertain schedule is solidifying and Indy isn't on it yet. Variety is reporting that he will begin shooting Stanley Kubrick's A.I. this July, and he is still signed up for the Tom Cruise vehicle, Minority Report, in April 2001.
Mar. 13, 2000 Spielberg: Indy IV Coming Soon Steven Spielberg was recently given the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Director's Guild of America. At the event, he told an Italian newspaper, that he has to " answer to the same question all the time: 'Dad, when are you going to film a new Indiana Jones movie?' But tonight I want to make a promise: Indiana Jones is coming back soon." It's good to know we have some Indy advocates at the Spielberg home keeping Papa Spielberg on his toes. FilmForce.Net has the full story.
Mar. 3, 2000 Happy Fifth Birthday to Us! It's hard to believe. This web page is five years old. That's like fifty in web years. It began life on March 3, 1995 with a name only a father could love, "The Indiana Jones WWW Page"
Read more of my nostalgic ramblings...
Mar. 2, 2000 Indiana Jones Survival Guide Released? The continuously changing release date of Fielding's Indiana Jones Adventure and Survival Guide may be solidifying. Last I heard the release was set to July 2000, but Amazon recently posted the publish date as March 1, 2000! However, it's March 2, and they are still only asking for preorders, so take it with a grain of salt.
Mar. 1, 2000 International Video Release IndianaJones.com has posted details on the the release of the remastered Indiana Jones videos outside of the US. One noticeable difference is the inclusion of Oganga, The Giver and Taker of Life in the giftset rather than Treasure of the Peacock's Eye. Also, international Indy fans who purchase the giftset get a giant illustrated wall map. Each video purchased contains a sticker which can be applied to a designated part of the map. It's probably just a cheap attempt to get people to buy the whole set, but I'm a bit jealous. Where's mine?
From Kate and Steven to Harrison
Adam has posted an ad Kate Capshaw and Steven Spielberg took out in Variety to congratulate Ford on his AFI honor. Check out his post for the full text.
Feb. 24, 2000 Ford Gets Out Of "Traffic" According to Variety, negotiations for Harrison Ford to sign with "Traffic" have broken down. His agent says that he has opted for a yet-to-be-determined action film. With Spielberg recently passing on Potter it's easy for our imaginations to run wild. In the distance I hear chanting... "Indy IV ... Indy IV..." or maybe its "Three years more..." I can't make it out.
Indy Gear History Lesson
Indiana John of Indygear.com tells a story of the long strange trip he, along with some other info-thirsty Indy fans, took to reconstruct Indiana Jones' trademark outfit.
Feb. 19, 2000 Access Hollywood Clip Online I've captured the piece of Access Hollywood's report where Harrison speaks about the Indy IV situation. The movie is available in Quicktime 4 format and weighs in at 3.4 MB. Enjoy... If the bandwidth runs out on that server, try this link.
Feb. 18, 2000 Ford on Indy IV - Light a Fire Under Lucas's Ass! On tonight's Access Hollywood, Pat O'Brien inquired about the status of Indy IV, to which Harrison, pointed to Lucas, saying "Light a fire under his ass." Lucas stuck to the "We're all busy" party line, but it was some great footage on AH's part.
Big Three AFI Award Pic
Yesterday, Ford was presented the AFI Lifetime Achievement award. AP has a picture of our three heroes all together at the occasion. Thanks to Indiana Shorty for the find.
Feb. 15, 2000 Ford on Indy IV Script Forum poster, Rick, was fortunate enough to attend the recent taping of Inside the Actor's Studio with Ford as the guest. When asked if there would be another Indy movie, Ford said, "Oh Yehhh...(audience claps)....... Now wait, I'm not makin' any announcement here tonight. I want it to happen. There is no script yet that everybody is REALLY happy with. George is a bit pre-occupied with that 'other' movie (audience laughs), but Steven and I are very ambitious to do it. But we all realize it has to be great."
Feb. 14, 2000 Ford To Be Honored By AFI The American Film Institute will present their 28th lifetime achievement award to Harrison Ford this Thursday at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. In a slightly dated LA Times story Ford said he was "surprised and honored and very flattered by it all." Congratulations, Mr. Ford, you deserve it. (Source: TheForce.Net)
Feb. 8, 2000 Raiders Whip Up For Auction According to TheForce.Net, Lycos is conducting a Celebrity Charity Auction which includes a whip from Raiders signed by Ford. Last December, a whip used in the making of all three Indy movies went for £27,600 at Christie's.
Feb. 7, 2000 Spielberg Has Kidney Removed According to CNN, Steven Spielberg has undergone surgery to have a kidney removed after an "irregularity" was discovered. A full recovery is expected. Here's hoping it is a swift one...
Ford's Agent On Indy IV Script
Ford's agent, Patricia McQueeney, told USA Today about Indy IV: "If there was a script they all loved, they would kill themselves to clear their schedules." Scheduling problems has always been the excuse given to us, but Ford's agent says of the Indy franchise: "They love it so much, but they can't seem to get their heads together on a script they are all enthusiastic about."

Digital Bits Keeps Taunting
The Digital Bits continues to taunt Lucas and Lucasfilm for refusing to release Phantom Menace on DVD for the "foreseeable future." Today's message works with Indy DVDs too.

Jan. 31, 2000 Indy Advocacy Recent activism by various DVD sites for Phantom Menace on that format has made this DVD-owning Indy fan wonder, "What about us?" I'm inclined to agree with TheForce.Net on this score. Nothing beats the power of paper. You saw Miracle on 34th Street didn't you? If you want Indy on DVD, a flood of written letters to Paramount and Lucasfilm could be just the push they need.

Jan. 18, 2000 IndianaJones.Com Scrapbook Looks like I misread the signs. The Scrapbook could be a weekly or whenever-somebody-feels-like-it feature. Who knows? Only time will tell... Today's pic is from Last Crusade.

I'm getting close to a point where I can switch servers within the week. This may require a (hopefully) short outage of the Forum. Stay tuned...

Jan. 11, 2000 Indy Stunt Show Under Repair If you're planning a trip to Disney-MGM Studios this summer, you might want to hold off until late June as the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular will be shut down until then for repairs. Unfortunately, the six month closing will only be for upkeep, no improvements are planned. See the Orlando Sentinel article for details. Thanks to TheForce.Net for the info.
Jan. 8, 2000 Cashiers du Cinemart on Indy Reading Cashiers du Cinemart makes me a bit nostalgic for the days when Sci-Fi Universe magazine ran articles like "Fifty Reasons Why We Hate Return of the Jedi" (2/97). It was a fun read, and that spirit is alive at CdC with articles like Dude, That's Your Sister!.
In Jonesing for the New Indy Film, editor Mike White takes the opportunity to knock Temple and Crusade down a couple notches and wastes his time discussing known failures and fan fiction as potential Indy sequels, but if it doesn't drive you to violence, it's an entertaining read.
Jan. 6, 2000 Star Wars DVD - A Hint of Indy DVD's Fate? Lucasfilm recently announced the release of Phantom Menace on video this April, along with bad news for DVD fans. The press release clearly states that Phantom Menace will "not being released on the DVD format in 2000 or for the foreseeable future." Considering Lucasfilm's apparent attitude toward DVD, the prospects for the Indy trilogy on DVD seems a bit dimmer than it did when The Digital Bits reported rumors of a March release.
Dec. 22, 1999 Happy Holidays! If you couldn't already tell from my lack of updates, I'm on vacation, enjoying the holidays at home with family. I'd like to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy Y2K!
Lara Croft to Rip Off Raiders?
This isn't Indy, but... It seems to me that when Eidos made Tomb Raider, they were trying to tap into an interest that wasn't being satisfied by new Indy products. I'm sure the success of that series of games was a large part of the motivation for Infernal Machine, and now there's a movie in the works, that is reportedly similar to Raiders of the Lost Ark (CHUD, Cinescape). Let's hope this is the kick in the pants they need to get Indy IV rolling.
Dec. 13, 1999 Spielberg/Larry King Transcript If you weren't able to catch the Spielberg interview, CNN has posted a transcript.

Thanks to Ricard Befan of JohnWilliams.com-US.com for the info.

Dec. 10, 1999 Spielberg on Larry King Live According to Cinescape Insider, Spielberg's recent appearance on Larry King Live did indeed have some Indy content.

The interview (or portions thereof) will be replayed on Larry King Weekend this Saturday at 9pm Eastern.
Dec. 9, 1999 Indy's Whip Underestimated The Evening Standard, a London newspaper, reports that a whip used by Ford during the making of the Indy movies went to Anthony Pugliese III, who's high bid of £27,600 far exceeded Christie's original estimated value. Reuters says £27,500, but let's not squabble over £100. Thanks to TheForce.Net and Satipo for the news.

After cancelling the PlayStation port of Infernal Machine, PC owners became the privileged gamers wielding the virtual whip. Last week, AdventureGamer.com offered a glimpse of hope for console gamers. According to an unnamed LucasArts source, a Nintendo 64 version is in development.
Another Troubling Ford Quote
Last week Ford answered a Brazillian reporter's question on the possibility of Indy IV which passing through a couple translations came out, "But I am sure that I could never play Indiana Jones again. He is in the past of my career, that took different direction. I feel today closer of characters like Jack Ryan than Han-Solo and Indiana Jones." I've heard talk that way about Han Solo, but not Indy, I'm betting something got lost in the translation. ( Source: Dark Horizons )

Nov. 15, 1999 Odd Ford Quote Responding to a question on the possibility of Indy IV in 2005, Ford told the UK weekly 'OK!' that he's "used to people printing half truths, no truths, mistakes. There is a rumour that there will be a window of opportunity for Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and me to get together in 2005 - that's when they'll be free! But I may not be of a mind to do it." Whether this an attempt at rumor control, a hint that Indy IV will come sooner, or a sign that Ford's fed up with the whole idea remains to be seen. Thanks to Dave Weiss for the info.

We don't want the fourth Indiana Jones movie to leave a bad taste in anyone's mouth." Source: Hollywood Reporter
Oct. 20, 1999 Indy on DVD in 2000?

Oct. 4, 1999 Two Indy Scripts Under Consideration? In an interview with ET This Week, Lucas said with regard to Indy IV that he has "two scripts for consideration and all I'm waiting for is a phone call from Steven and Harrison. I'm ready to go!" Thanks to Michaelson for catching this.
Sept. 28, 1999 Monkey King Script Synopsis Dietrich, Forum regular (not the melon-tossing Nazi), has written a detailed synopsis of Chris Columbus's failed Monkey King script. It was written for the third Indy installment, but some unscrupulous folks have been known to try passing this old script off as a potential Indy IV script. Check it out to see "what might have been," but thankfully, wasn't.
The Temple of Disco
Thanks to Mecofan for alerting me to this obscure bit of trivia. I knew that Meco disco-ized Star Wars, but I had no idea that he gave the same treatment to the Raiders March. The Meco Fan Page has a sample MP3.
Sept. 23, 1999 Lucas Says Indy on DVD Coming At press conference in Europe this week, Lucas told reporters that Indy and Young Indy on DVD is currently in production. No release date was mentioned. Dvdfile.com has some more details. Thanks to Doug Irving for the heads up.
Sept. 21, 1999 Upcoming Releases Checking in on the Fielding's Guide, which was last slated for a Fall 1999 release, Amazon now lists it for December 1999. Also, if you're having trouble accessing Sascha Krasny's video page like I am, I made up a simple list of all the Young Indy videos up for release, which is linked to in the sidebar. The YIJ Unofficial Home Page has a similar list with links to the episode guide.
Sept. 16, 1999 Indy Laserdisc Release on Hold According to Widescreen Review, Pioneer will not be releasing Indy on laserdisc in October by request of Lucasfilm and Paramount. The reason for the hold is unknown. Perhaps they are anticipating a DVD release or they don't think the laserdisc will sell enough to justify. Who knows? Thanks to Neil S. Bulk for the heads up.
Sept. 15, 1999 Harrison Ford Quote on ET Today's edition of Entertainment Tonight had a short "news" piece on a possible Indiana Jones sequel that didn't provide much in the way of new information, but it did have an interesting quote. Ford reassures those worried about his age, saying "I'm still quite fit enough to fake it. It's all smoke and mirrors anyway." Thanks to J for the head's up.
Sept. 14, 1999 Mini-Indy Impressions I received my Toys McCoy Indy figure today, and I can assure you it lives up to all the hype. If your so inclined, you can read my initial impressions of the figure.
Sept. 10, 1999 New Video Covers Sascha Krasny has compiled a page with images of all the videos being released this October. Check them out here. These pictures are also accessible by searching Amazon.com, but in addition to these there is a picture of the boxed set. The widescreen edition is the same, except instead of a white background color, it's purple.
According to Reel.com and 800.com the gift set consists of the Indy trilogy plus the Young Indy adventure, Treasure of the Peacock's Eye. Thanks to Rich for this info.
Sept. 3, 1999 Indy, Chapter and Verse Apparently Lucas is taking a page from his Star Wars playbook for the upcoming release of Indy and Young Indy videos. All the videos will be referred to by chapter, numbered chronologically. For example, Temple, Raiders, and Crusade will be Chapters 23, 24, and 25 respectively. The original movies will not, however, betray their chapter number within the films' credits, only on the packaging. Thanks to Brian James Crewe for sending me details of the original Hollywood Reporter article. Dvdfile.com also has a blurb on this.
Sept. 1, 1999 Spielberg on Indy IV Timeframe The UK site, Popcorn, has an article and RealAudio clip where Spielberg quips about the state of his and Harrison's health by they time they get to shooting Indy IV
Aug. 31, 1999 Indy IV in 2005? I didn't report on this item at first because it's identical to what McCallum said in the news item I posted on May 14, but so many folks have sent me info on Hollywood.com and IMDB reporting on McCallum's interview with the London Sunday Express that I gave in. He says the plan is to finish the next two Star Wars episodes, and then take on Indy IV within the next five years.
Aug. 24, 1999 Indy Remaster on Laserdisc Adding another slap in the face to DVD proponents, Paramount and Pioneer will be releasing the remastered edition of the Indy trilogy on laserdisc concurrently with the video release (10/26). According to dvdfile.com, the extras promised for the video version, however, will not appear on the laserdisc edition.
Aug. 20, 1999 Sansom Indy Drawings These drawings ( My Kind of Hero | Indiana Jones | Indy | Escape from the Flying Wing ) date from Suzy Sansom's days contributing to several Harrison Ford fanzines, as well as her own Star Wars 'zine (1980-87). If anyone wishes to contact her regarding a specific piece or for possible commission, they can email her at ssansom@interx.net
Aug. 17, 1999 Raiders Name Change Not In Movie Itself According to a recent Q&A conducted by TheForce.Net with Jim Ward, head of Lucasfilm marketing, the name change will only appear on the video's packaging, not in the film's opening credits. He said the reason for the change is that Lucas views the videos as a single storyline, and the Raiders name, being in the middle somewhere, "jumps out apart from the rest." Thanks to red four
Aug. 16, 1999 Three Scripts? In a recent AICN item an attendee of Spielberg's Smithsonian award reception managed a few choice words with the director. Spielberg reportedly said "we've got about three scripts that we're choosing from at this point," one scripted by Boam. I'm with Mike Orton of The Unofficial Indiana Jones IV Page on this one. The "scoop" smells a bit fishy.
Fan-Created Indy Card Game
Sascha Krasny has put a great deal of work into a card game based on our hero's adventures, called Indy's Gamble. Some assembly is required.
Yen-ning for that Indiana Jones Figure...
Apparently the yen has gained some strength in comparison to the US dollar. What does this have to do with Indy fans? Well, that Toys McCoy figure is going to cost you $30 more than it would have if you had preordered. Those who signed up early need not worry, in fact, you may already have it in your hot little hands. If not, here are a couple pictures ( one : two ), and a review, all from Forum newcomer, Covenant.
Aug. 9, 1999 Drew Struzan Considering Indy CD Over at TheForce.Net, they recently posted an interview with Drew Struzan, the artist behind many Indy movie posters and novel covers, among other things. At the end of the interview he speaks of a computer CD with his artwork, behind the scenes info and interviews which he has created for Star Wars. Then, Drew says, "If it works, maybe Indiana Jones next..." Unfortunately, I didn't see a way to indicate my interest in this CD on his website.
July 19, 1999 Indiana Jones and the Red Menace? Today, Harry Knowles' AICN brings us a rumored Indy IV plot that seems more befitting James Bond or Jack Ryan than our daring archaeologist. The "informant" insists that no Indy IV script exists at the moment, only a 12 page treatment, which has Indy employed by the US government to determine the whereabouts of the artifacts recovered and spirited away from Hitler's bunker by the Commies during their raid on Berlin.
Lucas told us point-blank last November that the Indy IV script is ready. Who's this guy to be calling George a liar?
July 15, 1999 Audio for Indy Video Ad Lucasfan.com has managed to get a hold of an upcoming rental video which will contain a commercial for the Indy video re-release. The video, Payback, won't be out until July 27, but they've captured a RealAudio clip for your listening pleasure. The clip clears up a couple issues: Raiders has indeed been renamed, the remastered videos will come in both standard and widescreen versions, and they will contain all new interviews with Lucas, Spielberg, and Ford.
July 14, 1999 McCallum's Gets Cryptic On Indy IV Today's AICN has a report from a London press conference where Rick said the following about Indy IV:
We've got a fantastic script, and everyone really wants to do it. We've now got to wait for everyone to be free, George is tied up as you know, Steven is busy for a couple of years, and Harrison is commited for the next 18 months. But the script is great and age is not a problem. I think we'll get it together in about three or four years.Basically the same stuff we've been hearing for a while now... BUT when asked whether Atlantis would be involved in the movie, he said only: "Watch the stars, and watch the desert."Thanks to Mike at the Unofficial Indiana Jones IV Page for the heads up.
July 13, 1999 Video Cover Pic Dvdfile.com has a picture of the upcoming Indy videos in their VSDA report, although I'm not sure whether these are the final covers. It looks like they've renamed Raiders, adding Indiana Jones to the title. I guess it's to be consistent, but I'm uncertain whether they should be messing with the title of the original Indy adventure.
July 11, 1999 Trilogy Re-release and Young Indy on Video According to the July 9th Hollywood Reporter, Paramount Home Video will re-release the digitally-remastered Indiana Jones Trilogy on VHS video in letterbox format on October 26. Also, as a part of their "Complete Adventures of Indiana Jones" promotion, 12 feature-length episodes of Young Indiana Jones will be available. Brian James Crewe has updated his December 1997 report on the repackaging of Young Indy with these latest developments.
Just some interesting trivia to go along with the Young Indy release... Did you realize that Elizabeth Hurley (London 1916), Catherine Zeta-Jones (Palestine 1917), and Anne Heche (New York 1920) appeared in YIJC, all before they really hit the big time as actresses. Good eye, George. Thanks to Laird Malamed for the observation.
July 1, 1999 The Big 1-0-0 Today marks the 100th anniversary of our fictional hero's birth date. Jason Cormier has contributed a special birthday card to celebrate the occasion.
IMDB Lost Continent RIP
The IMDB entry on Indiana Jones and the Lost Continent is no more, and I think it's my fault. As far as I can tell the original "scoop" hit Corona in August 1997. It was from a horse back tour guide in Kaui which clearly mistook preparations for Six Days Seven Nights as scouting for an Indy sequel. Someone submitted it to IMDB and over the last couple years newspapers and web sites have mentioned this "fact" offhand, fueling the fire. ETOnline is the latest victim (Entertainian - June 27, 1999). According to Rick McCallum (Lucasfan - June 15, 1999) Indy IV remains untitled.
June 2, 1999 Indy DVD Not In The Works Back in February, Widescreen Review reported that Paramount was considering the release of the Indy trilogy on DVD by the end of this year. Yesterday, however, dvdfile.com got word straight from Lucasfilm's Lynne Hale that there "isn't any activity at this time" for a DVD release of those films. Also, dashing any slim hopes we may have had for a letterbox edition of the videos or a Special Edition treatment anytime in the near future, she states that there is "no big theatrical or home video re-release planned" for the Indy movies. Thanks to Ed Sabol for the info.
Fielding's Indy Guide Delayed
Curious about the status of Fielding's Indiana Jones Adventure and Survival Guide, which was due for release this month, I called Fielding's customer service department. Unfortunately, the book has undergone some changes which has delayed its release until later this fall. Hopefully, the third time's the charm and this will be the final release date.
May 28, 1999 New 12" Indy Figure Pics Azuma has found what appear to be ads from the Japanese company that is producing the new figure, Toys McCoy. (Ad #1 Ad #2) Unfortunately, the item descriptions are in Japanese. Can anyone translate?
Jan. 20, 1999 Ford Picking Jack Ryan Over Indy? Harry's AICN reports that after What Lies Beneath, Ford may be looking to star in the adaptation of the Clancy novel, Sum of All Fears. I'm not sure why it's an either/or proposition, but Harry seems certain that Indy IV will not happen. I don't know why Ford would go down that road again, after seeing how difficult Clancy is to please while making the last Ryan flick. (First spotted on Indy World)
Dec. 15, 1998 A New Atlantis Angle? On Dec. 13th, Ain't It Cool News posted a synopsis of a bizarro Indy story involving Atlanteans, who happen to be of alien origin, being raised in their domed city from under the ocean. The scooper says that this script has been submitted by a CAA screenwriter for consideration. This, however, flies in the face of Lucas's revelation that a script has been settled upon, so I believe there's no need to be alarmed. This is no Indy IV.
Dec. 2, 1998 Saucer Men from Mars Thanks to walker, we have a synopsis of Jeb Stuart's script called Indiana Jones and the Saucer Men from Mars. It appears to be a genuine, if failed, Indy IV script. The script, labelled as the final draft and dated 1995, involves an alien artifact which continuously changes possession between Indy, Russian baddies, and saucer men. Besides being convoluted and unbelievable, the storyline ends in indulgent sappiness, with Indy marrying the lady linguist who accompanied him throughout the adventure. The ceremony is witnessed by Sallah, Marion, Willie, Short Round, and Henry Jones, Sr.
Nov. 9, 1998 Ford Rumored To Be Ready Harry Knowles' AICN has another rumor to work us Indy fans into a frenzy. An Australian newspaper is reporting that Harrison is ready and filming is ready to begin on Indy IV. This, however, conflicts with Ford's currently known schedule with What Lies Beneath slated as his next film.
Nov. 6, 1998 Official Word: Indy IV Script Ready Cinescape Insider reveals that the whispers overhead yesterday are true. At the Screen Producers' Association conference currently being held in Australia, Lucas told those in attendance that the Indy IV script has been completed, and the sole obstacle remaining is the availability of Ford and Spielberg. Come on guys, you know you want to recapture that Indy magic... What could be more important?
Rik Duel, who was in attendance at the SPAA conference, has some words of caution.
Oct. 30, 1998 Two Possible Indy IV Scripts? For those who have been worried about the recent drought of Indy IV rumors, be careful what you wish for... Harry Knowles' AICN reports that according to a purportedly high-ranking Paramount informant, two Indy IV scripts are currently circulating. One of them excludes any possibility of Ford starring, with a young Indy in the primary storyline!
Sept. 15, 1998 Indy IV On Track for 2001? Dark Horizons reports that in a recent interview in the Spanish magazine Fotograms, Ford reveals that Indy IV is "in an advanced phase. Because it's a production expected for the summer 2000," meaning it's on track for a 2001 release.
Personally, I've never heard of this magazine. Any info confirming its legitimacy would be appreciated.
July 9, 1998 Michelle Yeoh in Indy IV? Dark Horizons reports that, according to Michelle Yeoh's agency, Spielberg has met with her to discuss her possible involvement in the upcoming Indy movie.
July 8, 1998 Ford Looking Forward to Working with Connery Along with repeating his enthusiasm for playing Indy (using the same NY minute cliche), Harrison Ford reveals to Cinescape's Cindy Pearlman that he is "looking forward to working with Sean Connery again. He makes a great screen dad."
July 7, 1998 Spielberg Confirms Indy IV Plot Exists On Fourth of July weekend, Cinescape reported that Spielberg has the plot for the fourth Indy installment worked out, and that filming could begin in the summer of 2000 with Harrison Ford starring (of course), and Sean Connery reprising his role as Indy's dad.
This fact is consistent with Ford's recent revelation that no script for Indy IV exists. A plotline is a long way from an Indy adventure on celluloid, but it's the most solid piece of Indy IV information to date... Definitely something worth cheering about.
Raiders Scripter Working on Indy IV?
On July 3, Jawad's Steven Spielberg Page received word from an anonymous Dreamworks source that Spielberg is writing the Indy IV script with Lawrence Kasdan, who scripted the original Indy adventure.
June 10, 1998 Ford on Magic Hour Harrison Ford appeared on last night's Magic Hour, Magic Johnson's new talk show. My expectations were low and it was on late, so I taped it. I'm glad I did, because Indy was on the top of Magic's agenda. I have to admit, I got a little excited when the band played him out with the Raiders March. Check out my transcript of the Indy-related portion of the interview.
June 1, 1998 No Script, Says Ford In an appearance on today's Rosie O'Donnell Show, Ford was asked about the prospects for another installment of the Indy saga. He expressed his desire to don the fedora again, but assures us that despite rumors to the contrary there is no script at this time, in fact, there hasn't been one for over 5 years.
May 27, 1998 AICN Indy IV Blurb Harry Knowles' Ain't It Cool News has an Indy IV blurb, repackaging or confirming old rumors on the next Indy movie, it's difficult to tell which. Word is that Indiana Jones and the Lost Continent, the currently favored title, is due out in 2000.
May 6, 1998 Corona Says Glass Is Completely Empty In direct conflict with Hollywood Reporter's assertion, Corona's source says no one likes Boam's latest script. The scooper's laundry list of plot points for the reportedly doomed story include the recovery of a post-WWII Nazi sub, some Dead Sea Scrolls and a metatronic, which is a apparently a divine transporter.
April 11, 1998 Cinescape and Law of One On this day in Indy IV rumor history, Cinescape revealed that they had received a script entitled Indiana Jones: The Law of One, which dealt with Indy's pursuit of a powerful ancient device responsible for the destruction of Atlantis. Cinescape, dubious of the script from the start, later deemed it "a fake or at the very least a spec script."
February 9, 1998 Galoob Licenses Rights to Indy IV Toys Cinescape reports that Galoob, in an SEC filing, reveals details of their licensing agreement with Lucasfilm. In the document, Indy IV is said to be currently in development. My report uncovers further details on this news item.
January 15, 1998 Raiders of the Fallen Empire Dark Horizons posted what was purportedly the opening pages of the actual Indy IV script, entitled Raiders of the Fallen Empire, but withdrew them soon after.
January 14, 1998 Little Indys Running Around? Corona has posted a "scoop" from someone claiming to have a source at Dreamworks. He says that Indy IV will take place post-WWII, Indy will settle down, and his dad will make an appearance. Reportedly, casting is to be completed by March.
December 30, 1997 Indy After The Other Ark? Harry Knowles' AICN has posted an Indy IV rumour, although he views it as "highly dubious." (What Indy IV info isn't?) In this latest rumour, Indy is searching for the other lost Ark, Noah's. It's interesting to note that the scooper / rumormonger was very careful to separate it from the Sons of Darkness script, a known fake, by mentioning Kasdan's involvement.
Late 1997 Indy IV Timing I received a message from someone claiming to be an ILM employee, which details the current plans for the timing of Indy IV production and release. While I'm wary of such claims in light of recent jokesters posting in the Forum, his information seems sound.
October 24, 1997 Indy IV That Might Have Been Harry Knowles' AICN has a plot synopsis on an Indy IV that might have been. The 1995 script, penned by Chris Columbus, focuses on Chinese myths and was rejected by Spielberg and company.
October 12, 1997 Indy IV Info from the Trenches I received a communique from a not-so-highly-placed mole at Paramount, reporting (among other things) that a relatively unknown actor will play Indy's younger brother.
July 15, 1997 Harrison Ford Appears on Oprah Thanks to Paul Dobbs for being our man on the street for this one. On July 15, Harrison Ford was a guest on Oprah. When asked whether he would participate in a fourth Indy outing, Ford replied, "Oh yes, definitely. I had alot of fun doing them. It was alot of work, but I enjoyed it. Steven was really great to work with." When asked whether he would play a certain scruffy-looking scoundrel, he said no, as he doesn't feel that Han Solo has any room for character development, while he emphasized that Indy had ALOT.
Also, Sean Connery told a story equally embarrassing to both Dad and Junior. While filming Last Crusade, where the two were tied together in the burning castle, the heat was particularly intense. Since the scene would be shot from the midchest up, Connery took off his pants, and Ford followed suit. They performed the scene in their underwear.
May 30, 1997 Black Sheep of the Jones' Family? Harry Knowles' Ain't It Cool News indicated that news on Indy IV was imminent. Reportedly, the Big Three would discuss the film in London in June '97. The proceedings of that meeting or whether it even took place is unknown. Unfortunately, along with this report the Kevin Costner as Indy's brother rumor resurfaced, with a new twist... He's Indy's EVIL brother. Oh brother... How does something this absurd get started?
The bad seed brother rumor mutated yet again, replacing Costner with Tom Selleck. While this has some resonance, since Selleck was originally considered for Indy, it's still completely ludicrous. Corona's served up this slice of baloney.
In response to Corona's report on the brother rumor, an anonymous source indicated that it's totally false. Reportedly, the fourth movie will bring back Henry Jones, Sr. and Marion Ravenwood for another adventure. The source also said that one of them dies in the film.
Early 1997 The Big Three Are Willing... In a March 24, 1997 interview, Barbara Walters asked Harrison Ford, "Would you play Indiana Jones again?" He responded, "In a New York minute... It's a question of Steven Spielberg and I finding a slot that we have in common."
In the May 19th (1997) issue of Time, an interview with Steven Spielberg reveals that he expects to direct a fourth Indy movie, but needs to do "a lot between now and then that will frighten [him]."
In a July 25, 1997 press conference on the first Star Wars prequel, George Lucas says, "We're working on a screenplay for Indiana Jones and it's really now a matter of trying to get Steven and Harrison and all our schedules so that we can actually work on it because everyone is so busy.
May 5, 1997 Sean Connery Honored Sean Connery was honored May 5 by the Film Society of Lincoln Center. An attendee of the gala affair has a report. This honor prompted a full-page ad in Variety, with the message Hey Dad -- Congrats! Love, Junior
January 1997 Harrison Ford in Biography Magazine Harrison Ford adorns the cover of the January 1997 issue of Biography magazine. According to the cover story, Ford says he'd do another Indiana Jones movie "in a New York minute." Ok, he's willing. Now, when will everybody be able?
May 1996 Sons of Darkness The infamous Sons of Darkness script was posted around Memorial Day. It was quickly identified as a bogus script meant to further the career of an aspiring, unscrupulous screenwriter.
Early 1996 Indy Heroines Want to Return Excerpt from Parade magazine's "In Step With..." section by James Brady --
First the news: Yes, there will be another "Indiana Jones" movie. And you can go to the bank on that, because my source is Mrs. Steven Spielberg, the actress Kate Capshaw--wife of the directing genius and herself the heroine of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. "Oh yeah," she told me, "all the girls [heroines of the three Indy films] are lobbying to be in it."
January 20, 1996 Indy Trilogy Screening Adam McDaniel reports on a Rahway, NJ screening of the Indy movies.
