Last night Harrison attended the Producers Guild Awards held at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles, California. He presented the Guild's Stanley Kramer Award to Al Gore and producers of the environmental documentary hit An Inconvenient Truth (Click on left picture above to see the trailer and please consider a pledge to see the movie!)

HFW has some great photos from this event. You can check out some in the forum or visit Gallery 1. Enjoy.

It's Go for Indy 4

The coordination problems between Messrs. Lucas and Spielberg (referred under Dec 31st. below) have been resolved:

Indiana Jones 4 is greenlit and agreed on by all principal parties.


Shooting will start in June at yet undisclosed locations globally and in the United States. The old "family" is back behind the camera: George Lucas, Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy are executive producers. Helmer is Steven Spielberg. The approved story is by George Lucas and David Koepp, Production company: Lucasfilm, Distribution by: Paramount. We take it as given that John Williams will handle the musical score even if this isn't commented on in the industry press news items.

As Indiana Jones? No extras for getting that one right. Harrison had the following comment on the occasion: "I'm delighted to be back in business with my old friends. I don't know if the pants still fit, but I know the hat will."

The movie's title is yet unknown, as is the rest of the cast. We can only hope they manage to persuade Sir Sean Connery to take a break from retirement and the writing of his autobiography [you hear that, Big Tam?!?]. (As Lucas said at the 2006 AFI Lifetime Achievement Award presentation for Sir Sean: "We're writing him in whether he wants to do it or not") We'd be more than delighted to see John Rhys-Davies and the girls (Karen Allen, Kate Capshaw and Alison Doody) again too--

At this stage we can't help wondering what sort of character and actor/actress who could possibly fill the void Denholm Elliott ("Marcus Brody") left when he died. We sincerely hope the new script takes this challenge into account and and beg all of you involved in this project: please get this new one exactly right...in respect and honor of that superb and deeply missed actor.

Other than that: We're so happy (...and relieved -) Now, with our best hopes and wishes: GO GUYS & GALS!!!

RoseParade

If you did not get a chance to see the Rose Bowl parade you missed the Star Wars feature in which the 501st (Stormtroopers) was out in full force and George Lucas was Grand Marshall. There is a video now available online here. Click on Rose Parade clip #5 and the Star Wars presentation is about five minutes into the clip (George is not shown in this clip.)

If you look closely there is a shot of a fan dressed as Anakin and you can view his Myspace profile here and read his blog about getting accepted by LucasFilm to participate.

Another update on Indy and yes I'm the one that was quoted as saying "enough of the BS" . Anyhow, according to The Hollywood Reporter Steven Spielberg has confirmed that the script is ready and further went on to say "We feel that the script was well worth the wait. We hope it delivers everything you'd expect from our history with Indiana Jones." Read the entire article . here
