{sidebar id=1}Paramount Pictures sent over a bunch of new high rez images to share with our readers! We've added them to our complete gallery of the film below, click on a thumbnail to enlarge!
Like its predecessors, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is
distinguished from anything else in the cinema landscape by Steven Spielbergs
unparalleled vision, George Lucass limitless imagination and Harrison Fords
embodiment of a timeless adventure hero.
From his first appearance
nearly 27 years ago, Indiana Jones has become one of the most beloved heroes of
the silver screen, and almost since the day 1989s Indiana Jones and the Last
Crusade was released, audiences all over the world have announced their
collective desire for another Indiana Jones adventure.
We created
Indiana Jones, but it belongs to the world, says director Steven Spielberg.
And now were the custodians. Our job really is to serve up a huge helping not
only of what Indiana Jones means to audiences who grew up with it, but to
introduce the character to those who havent. This new film is for the fans.
Executive producer and co-story writer, George Lucas, says his goal was
to create an experience that will transport audiences into an all-new adventure
set in a familiar world - a world that generations of fans have come to know and
love. The style is the same, the humor is the same. Everything feels the same.
But weve also been able to build on it. The relationships we have on the set
and the ones on the screen are stronger and better and more fun than theyve
ever been, Lucas says.
Few actors have been as inextricably identified
with a character as Harrison Ford is with Indiana Jones - and he returned to the
role with all the style and swagger that helped turn the
archaeologist-adventurer into a cinema icon. Having been out in the world
making all kinds of other movies, I was happy to do another Indiana Jones film,
just because theyre so damned much fun to do, Ford says. I love being in
business again with Steven and George, and Ive had a great time on this
one.
Spielberg calls Fords casting the most important element in the
unique alchemy of Indiana Jones. More important than my directing it, more
important than all the writers that came in, more important than almost the sum
of all of its parts, was the fact that this series would not have been as
successful as it was if it were not for Harrison Ford playing that role, says
Spielberg. Harrison is at home in the skin of Indiana Jones.
For years
after the release of Last Crusade, Spielberg harbored a belief that the time
for Indiana Jones had ended. I shot Indiana Jones riding a horse into the
sunset because I thought that brought the curtain down on the story, he
remarks. And in a sweet, nostalgic way, that was fine with me at the time. But
there were some people who werent fine with it - and this movie really started
with the fans.
It took the energy, enthusiasm and persistence of
Harrison Ford to inspire the team to reunite for another adventure. Harrison
called me and said, Why dont we make another one of these pictures? Theres a
fan base out there that wants it, Spielberg recalls. He was tenacious. He
called George, and George got to thinking about it, and then George called me
and said, Well, Steve, what do you want to do? It could be fun to make another
movie.
I have to give the credit to Harrison for starting the ball
rolling and then to George for working to get me to consider the possibility of
at least one more story, Spielberg says.
Together, Spielberg, Lucas and
Ford agreed that they would only pursue a fourth Indiana Jones adventure if the
idea - and the execution - were up to the standards of the first three
movies.
It took 19 years to find just the right script - and one of the
first points of agreement between the three was that 19 years should pass for
Indiana Jones, too. He is certainly older, if not wiser, Ford jokes.
