Indiana Jones 4 First Trailer Details
George Lucas has been out talking about Indiana Jones 4 again, and it sounds like he hasnít been watching the same Indy movies we have over the years.
When USA Today asked him if the extremely aged Harrison Ford would be up to all the running it takes to be Dr. Jones he said, ìHe’s not running in any of the movies . He’s either on a horse or driving a car or a motorcycle. And he’ll play his age in this movie with what’s appropriate. The chases are more suspenseful than speedy.î
Huh George? What about the iconic rolling ball scene? Isnít that nothing but running? Apparently not. ìLike the rolling ball in the first film ó it’s not that he’s running that fast, it’s that there’s a giant ball coming at him.î Yes, itís that thereís this giant ball coming at him, and then he runs away from it. Indiana Jones is not a fan of being squashed flat. Maybe for this new movie Lucas can just give him CGI legs. Since he can no longer run away, it sounds like Ford is going to get caught and pounded on. George adds that, ìhe will get beat up, which is a tradition for us.”
As for the casting of Cate Blanchett, he says that wasnít his idea. George says, ìThat’s who my director wanted, and I always bow to the wishes of my director.î Except of course for that time on Star Wars when he took over the movieÖ nevermind. But he seems happy with Cate as the filmís leading lady.
ìApproved it because she seemed like a good idea. When I met her at the Academy Awards , I told her, ‘Hey, you work for me now!'”î Thatís right Blanchett, and if you donít behave heíll replace you with one of the computer animated images of you left over from Lord of the Rings.
This movie canít really be happening, can it? Lucas still insists it is. CominSoon quotes him as saying that they start shooting in Los Angeles this June and then theyíll take their cameras all over the world to exotic locations. Involved may be some sort of giant waterfall. He even has a plan for the trailer. Lucas says expect the first Indiana Jones 4 trailer in Thanksgiving. Itís a crazy world when even movie trailers have release dates.
