Jul 9 2007More Indiana Jones Rumors/Photos
The rumor mill over at Aint it Cool News is saying the new Indiana Jones film will try to bring the series full circle, with our favorite archaeologist again seeking out the Ark of the Covenant. Next time we get a magic religious artifact we'll know better than to just throw a "top secret" sticker on it and put it in a warehouse.
Additionally, Indy producer Frank Marshall has pleased fans by going on the record that the involvement of George Lucas won't mean tons of CGI, saying:
Steven is very aware of the process and we're not cheating with CG (computer graphics) at all. It keeps the B movie feel.
Lucas currently has artists hand-painting a goofy sidekick character frame by frame.
And finally, thanks to Tyler for sending in some more shots from the Indiana Jones IV New Haven, CT set that confirm a chase scene will occur with period vehicles, not, as previously thought, giant mechanical dinosaurs. See them below the cut.

No CG huh? We'll well see. I can't imagine this has anything to do with the unusually good reviews Die Hard 4 received in the last two weeks where the lack of excessive CG was so frequently cited as a plus to the film.
Could be meat; could be cake. Time will tell. OR WILL IT?! Transformers continues to get polar reviews.

CG isn't cheating. It makes everything better. Like cinnamon on buttered toast. Or gummy bears on tacos.
