Mar 10 2009Spielberg, Lucas, Kasdan Show Their Work on 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'
Ready to take your Indiana Jones fandom to the next level? Mystery Man on Film has posted a 125-page transcript of George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan brainstorming what would become the character of Indiana Jones (née Smith) and the film Raiders of the Lost Ark. It's like an origin story of the origin story, and overall a pretty good read. Who would believe the idea of adding a fourth, lackluster chapter thirty years later wasn't part of the original schema?

Oh dear. Why do people still do that "first!" thing? Is this guy still in the eighth grade?
Oh, I see. Idiotman. That explains it. Never mind.

#1-3: and I, for one, approve. Because if WWII taught me anything, its that the first few people are always the ones that end up dead. So all you "First!"s, "Second!"s and "Third!"s out there - let the cannon fodder begin!
