fundraising
It's that time again where we ask for donations. Bills are due for the site and along with keeping the site up to date with the latest software we have to beg visitors for help. I wish the site was in a position that we did not have to ask but as you know we don't have any sponsers or coporate ads so the only way we can generate funds is by asking for donations.Any amount would be appreciated and thank you to those who have helped in the past and plan on helping now.
We have it set up where you can donate via PayPal (just click on the logo) or if you want to send a donation by mail please contact me for mailing address.

Messrs. Hurt & Winstone
MESSRS. HURT & WINSTONE| Two major Indiana Jones 4 cast members, John Hurt and Ray Winstone, played a celebrity soccer match as team members of Hollywood United FC on the Beverly Hills School field on Sunday (July 22). The match was arranged for the benefit of the Program for Torture Victims. Besides the highly worthy cause we also find it intersting to have a peek at the two gentlement - and compare their appearance to other suitably recent photographs: | |

Filming in Hilo and 'hood
FILMING IN HILO TOWN & SURROUNDING AREAS |
According to the Hawaii Tribune-Herald Steven Spielberg and George Lucas arrived on Big Island in separate private jets just after 4.30 p.m on July 9 amid tight security. They were given the traditional flower garlands (lei) and were quickly escorted into different vehicles before leaving the airport for undisclosed locations. |
| Part of the film is being shot at various locations around East Hawaii, including an undisclosed waterfall on the Hamakua Coast and on a secluded piece of Shipman Estate property near Keaau, sources have told the Tribune-Herald. Filming is expected to take about three weeks. Members of the film crew reportedly are staying at various East Hawaii hotels, including the Hilo Hawaiian Hotel. | |
| The Hawaii Film & Video Magazine has reported that filming begins on July 11 and that the alleged locations involves 'a deep heavy bush location' situated mauka (on or towards mountain/inland) in Hilo town. | |
| | |
 |
The Hawaii Tribune-Herald reported on July 8 that the production has set up shop on the old Shipman property near Keaau. The Shipman Family are among the oldest local landoweners (kamaaina) on Big Island. The founder of the dynasty was the son of Maui missionaries who married a local Big Island girl and founded a ranch with thousands of acres of sugar cane and a sugar mill in Keaau. |
| The Tribune-Herald then added that two hotel workers been told by crew that shooting would start on June 10 and that a shoot would take place at a waterfall north of Hilo. | |
| | |
 |
The latest on the L.A sets rumor grapevine is the spotting of new sets near a parking lot on the Universal lot. According to the source, the Tour Guide answered upon inquiry that she wasn't always allowed to talk about things when another production company was involved. |
| The natural follow- and checkup question about the exisitng Meso- american looking sets elsewhere on the lot (already reported webwide and officially debunked as Indy 4 sets) elicited the reply that they were 'National Treasure 2 for sure'. Feel free to see the YouTube video and read our musings here in the HFW Forums. | |

Indiana Jones 4 a.k.a TUGP, Marshall U
 | |
| According to Hawaii Film & Video Magazine Indiana Jones 4 has got a new sexy name: TUGP - The Unnamed Genre Project. According to the magazine, production executives insist that no reference to the film's actual title should be be spoken and that it should only be referred to as TUGP. The magazine also reports that the Hawaii state and film commissioners had been asked to sign a confidentiality agreement but that they didn't. It also seems the shooting on Big Island's Hamakua Coast will take place on private property for two to three weeks in mid July, two weeks sooner than originally scheduled. | |
| | |
 |
Yale University stands in for Indy 4's - eh, TUGP's - fictional Marshall College but there is a Marshall in real life too: Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia. and they are naturally a bit disappointed about the choice of shooting locations. See article and university website sources below. |

Happy 4th and Tomorrow's Shoot
|
TOMORROW'S SHOOT |
|
 |
||
| Today's issue of the New Haven Register contains an interesting article about Indiana Jones 4 producer Frank Marshall and the filming so far seen through his eyes. The article also contains an interesting piece of news: Shooting on July 5th will involve the Essex Steam Train. The historic Connecticut Valley Line runs from Essex (about 40 miles / 65 kms east of New Haven) and the attraction also involves a riverboat. We have no idea if the majestic river swan will be featured in the upcoming shoot. The production will move on to Hawaii once the Essex shoot is in the can. Another interesting snippet in the interview is the following quote: "Steven is very aware of the process and we're not cheating with CG (computer graphics) at all," Marshall said. "It keeps the B movie feel." |

| IGN.com also posted a M-A-J-O-R spoiler yesterday; if you care to look it up we advise to hold on firmly to any potatoes in the vincinity - and add more than one pinch of salt afterwards. |
