Sep 18 2007Indiana Jones Secrecy Foiled by Tyler Nelson

Typically, prior to getting on set, an extra on a film will sign a non-disclosure agreement, which basically means that the extra isn't allowed to go around telling people which shocking new sport Air Bud is good at this go-round unless he wants a slew of lawyers on his back. That's why it's surprising that, in a now-blocked article in the Edmond Sun, extra Tyler Nelson revealed facts about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of he Crystal Skull that Lucas and Spielberg wanted to hold back until the action figures--like who Cate Blanchett plays!

Full article, as transcribed by AICN, under the cut.

"Tyler Nelson's dancing talent has landed him a part in INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL...

... what Tyler understands about the Indiana Jones movie is based on his own scenes that were filmed during the first week of September. Tyler plays a Russian soldier. Only the lead actors were ever given scripts, so Tyler still doesn't know the entire plot.

"Apparently, the Soviet Army was searching for a [crucifix] skull in the jungles of South America and Indiana Jones was searching, as well," Tyler said.

The Russian Army tries blackmailing Indiana Jones to help them find the crystal skull by "threatening to kill Karen, his old flame from the Lost Ark."

Actress Karen Allen of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" fame returns to play Jones' love interest Marion Ravenwood. Cate Blanchett was cast as the Russian interrogator.

"We took Indiana Jones hostage and managed to find the skull," Tyler said.

Afterward, Tyler and the other Russian soldiers rejoice in the jungle by wildly dancing and singing to Russian balalaika folk music beside a roaring campfire...

... "they were filming us outside of a tent dancing and then turned the camera inside the tent," Tyler explained his scene. "I saw Harrison Ford strapped in a chair being interrogated. I started to gather they were holding this big crystal-looking thing in the tent and heard someone mention a crucifix skull."

In the movie, Indiana actor Shia LaBeouf plays Indiana Jones' son. Jones learns of this and falls in love with Ravenwood again, Tyler said."

This whole thing is interesting to me until the point he gets to the "crucifix skulls." Since the title is "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," and crucifix skull makes no sense, I'm fairly certain he made a slight error there. But that's just the one we know of. Who knows how many other erroneous facts he's spouting out, replacing the word crystal with another of his choosing? The whole article could be a Mad-Libs.

Is the scene really in South America, or is it the slightly norther Crystal America?! Is Indiana Jones really strapped to a chair, or is he strapped to a giant crystal?! Is the Russian interrogator role really being played by Cate Blanchett, or is it being played by Wings star Crystal Bernard?!

At least there is one fact we do know for certain: Tyler Nelson will soon be murdered.
