Jun 26 2007Indiana Jones First Day Shooting Diary
Though it lacks the emotional power of Schindler's List, Steven Spielberg has thrown together a short video of the first day of shooting Indiana Jones IV. Are you ready for all the fedora-wearing, whip-cracking adventure you've been waiting 18 years for? Well, keep waiting a bit longer. But if you're excited to see a bunch of old guys in baseball caps and sunglasses--two of whom happen to be Steven Spielberg and George Lucas--watch this clip.
Is anyone else as bothered as me to see Lucas on the set? I know he's key in the development, but you can almost see how he's already plotting from the sidelines, "How could I work in a goofy, computer-generated sidekick and some of my much-appreciated humor?"

Hey now, lay off Jar Jar. He saved that sixology.

I think Lucas learned his lesson from the Jar Jar backlash. His role was severely diminished in AOTC and almost non-existent in ROTS.
He sure as hell ruined Phantom Menace, though, god damn!

Geeky Boner!

I'm sorry, but man... I am so looking forward to this. It could either just be amazing and brilliant, and a reason to invalidate my Indiana Jones boxset, or, sadly, it could be a steaming pile.
Sooo, hoping for the amazing... so hoping...
