Indiana Jones To Battle Aliens?
January 3rd, 2008
Spielberg and Lucas sort of confirm rumors that Harrison Ford will battle creatures from another world in the next installment of the series, in a new Vanity Fair interview.
“I wanted … the idea that Harrison would be 20 years older,” says Lucas. “So that put it in the mid-50s … I looked around and I said, ‘Well, maybe we shouldn’t do a ’30s serial, because now we’re in the ’50s. What is the same kind of cheesy-entertainment action movie, what was the secret B movie, of the ’50s?’’ So instead of doing a 30s Republic serial, we’re doing a B science-fiction movie from the ’50s. The ones I’m talking about are, like, ‘The Creature from the Black Lagoon,’ ‘The Blob,’ ‘The Thing.’”
Spielberg also talks about the fact that he was leaning towards a different script than Lucas.
“I quite liked Frank (Darabont’s) script, but George and I had a disagreement over it, and George and I have always agreed to agree. So when we take each other’s temperatures, if I really am passionate about something, George will give in to me, and if George is really passionate about something, I’ll pretty much go his way. And in this case George was passionate that this was not the story he wanted to tell at this point in the Indiana Jones saga. And I think it’s a wonderful script.”
“Crystal Skull” will open on May 22 worldwide and also stars Cate Blanchett, and Karen Allen who reprises her role as Marion Ravenwood.
Some will argue that the whole alien thing is crap. I think it will be good. My own opinion of Spielberg and Lucas is that they have made sub-par movies for too many years now. But since they have always managed to keep THIS series quality, I’m gonna trust them for now.
It better not suck!
