Enter into the HFW Contests
ENTER INTO THE HFW CONTESTS!! |
HFW member Maria Hallinan Adams came up with the wonderful idea: to run contests every second week from Memorial Day 2007 (May 28) all through to the opening of Indiana Jones 4 on May 22, 2008. But Maria didn't stop there: she has offered to design and donate all prizes as well as postage & packing to all of the 26 upcoming winners - no matter where on the planet they may live. Now how wonderful is that?!?? Do we hear a world wide cheer for Maria??? Enjoy this part of the HFW celebration of the Indiana Jones Year - and one of the ways you can do so is to join in. click here or use the menu interface in the left column to go to our new contest section. |
Also, in case you're dying to read rumors and spoilers about Indiana Jones 4: go to our Indiana Jones 4 page and check out the new feature in the right column (beneath the pic of Indy). When you click on the image, a popup will open and ask if you're sure you want to continue. If you choose to go on a new popup will appear with the latest up to date spoilers - or at least those we've been able to track.
Enjoy, but don't blame us afterwards for any lack of self dicipline

Harrison presented an award at the 2007 Taurus Stunt Awards in Los Angeles yesterday night. He had the honor to present Gary Powell with a well deserved award (Best Stunt Coordination and/or 2nd Unit Direction) for his work on Casino Royale. Incidentally, Mr. Powell will also work as stunt coordinator on Indiana Jones IV. This year's Lifetime Achievement Award went to Burt Reynolds for his work on hits like the Cannonball Run and Smokey and the Bandit franchises. Reynolds' award was presented by California Governor (and earlier recipient) Arnold Schwarzenegger. Read about the awards here and see pictures from the event in the HFW Gallery here.

Two of Harrison's Movies Top VES Ranking
TWO OF HARRISON'S MOVIES TOP VES RANKING  |
The Visual Effects Society has published The VES 50, a list of the - in their opinion - 50 most influential special effects films of all time. Harrison starred in......#1 and #2. The top ten: 1. Star Wars (1977) 2. Blade Runner (1982) 3. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and The Matrix (1999) 5, Jurassic Park(1993) 6. Tron (1982) 7. King Kong (1933) 8. Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) 9. Alien (1979) 10. The Abyss (1989) It's worth noting that The Indy Musketeers (Lucas, Spielberg, Ford) took home five of the top ten. We admit to a raised eyebrow and the paradox of sad glee when we found Peter Jackson / Weta Digital (Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring) as far down as #19 -- two notches behind a little movie called Raiders of the Lost Ark -- When conspiratorial, the following question inevitably pops up: Perhaps Weta doesn't have voting rights and/or Power Circle membership at VES?? Go to VES' homepages to see the full list and this article in The Hollywood Reporter. |

Dalai Lama Renaisance on Telluride and FilmFest Munich
DALAI LAMA RENAISSANCE ON TELLURIDE AND MUNICH FILMFESTWe got the following message today from Khashyar Darvich, director and producer of Dalai Lama Renaissance:
 with the Dalai Lama |
"Hello Everyone, I wanted to let everyone here on HarrisonFordWeb know that we are now submitting "Dalai Lama Renaissance" (which is narrated by Harrison Ford) into film festivals around the world. The documentary will premiere at the Telluride MountainFilm Festival on May 26 at 10:30 a.m., and then will have its European festival premiere at FilmFest München (Munich, Germany) from June 22-30. |
| I asked Harrison's Office if Harrison could attend the Munich festival (because the festival invited him), but he will have already begun shooting "Indiana Jones 4" by that time and will not be able to make it. He also will probably not be able to make the Telluride MountainFilm premiere festival screening on May 26 because of prepping for "Indy." But, his office told me today that he very much supports and believes in the film, and believes that the film has a very positive message and that it will successfully reach and impact many people. There is a good probability that we will be having a red carpet premiere of the film, and if so, I will let you know about it. (You can read more about the festival screenings here) I will continue to keep you updated. Khashyar Darvich Producer-Director "Dalai Lama Renaissance" |

Harrison has also released the following statement through his office: "I narrated Dalai Lama Renaissance because I believe His Holiness is making a positive influence in our world. For me, the film represented an opportunity to continue assisting the optimistic efforts of an extraordinary individual.." |
Thanks bunches to Khashyar for keeping us informed, and don't forget to visit DalaiLamaFilm.com
