John Williams Starts Work on Indy 4 on Oct 1
JOHN WILLIAMS STARTS WORK ON INDY 4 ON OCT 1ST |
Master composer John Williams conducted the Columbus Symphony in concert in Columbus, Ohio yesterday night, and he was interviewed by the Columbus weekly news and entertainment paper The Other Paper re: the event. The Other Paper naturally asked Williams about his current projects: | |
| ||
| The article doesn't say if Williams will work closely with Steven Spielberg already from October 1st, but the news may indicate that the main body of Indy 4 shooting will be finished by then. NB!! The latter is unconfirmed and our speculation only!! | ||

Crossing Over Praised after Prescreening
CROSSING OVER PRAISED AFTER PRESCREENING Ilustration by Grethe at HFW | |
| IMDb user Yorick Brown has attended a prescreening of Crossing Over and he liked what he saw - a lot. An excerpt of his opinion: | |
| |
| We have still not picked up an official opening date for the movie. IMDb Pro now lists premiere date as Nov. 16, whereas the Daily Variety said that release date was in December in a recent entry (Sept. 18). A specific release date has yet not been released by production company and distributor. A look at the webpages of the Weinstein Co and a pretty through news search have left us none the wiser. We sincerely hope an official release date, promo and a trailer will be released soon. If the general prescreen buzz is as good as Brown's opinion above it can hardly do any harm to spread the good news? Big thanks to HFW user eltvik for the heads up! |

The Maker Speaks, On Blanchett, Stay Clear of Spoiler
THE MAKER SPEAKS, GREAT ARTICLE ON BLANCHETT |
George Lucas Has Spoken in the latest issue of the TV Guide. Lucas is interviewed primarily to introduce a new documentary due for broadcasting on Sept, 24 - Fog City Mavericks - the story about famous and independent San Fransisco filmmakers - but when asked he also spilled a few beans on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. One of them is Lucas' opinion on why not having Sir Sean Connery on board turned out to be a good thing. He also takes the opportunity to shoot down one of the many widely circulated rumors re: John Hurt's character. Read the interview here. Recommended!! |
 |
While we're at it: The Belfast Telegraph featured an excellent article on Cate Blanchett and her career in last Friday's issue. Read the article here. Highly recommended!!!! |
| Dead on the Grapevine: A m-a-j-o-r possible plot spoiler was recently released by the paper The Edmond Sun (in Oklahoma) when they interviewed dancer Tyler Nelson about his recent participation in Crystal Skull. Mr. Nelson was so happy about the attention that he seemed to forget he ever signed a non-disclosure agreement. The article (no we won't link to it) was generally accessible up to just a few hours ago. It's now protected with a logon id and a password. Our recommendation: Don't go looking it up. True or false - spoilers of this nature only succeed in living up to the label: spoil the fun. In our opinion a good spoiler should tease, make your mind buzz, generate more questions, intricacies and mysteries. Alas this one does neither. | |

Official Indy 4 Title
OFFICIAL INDY 4 TITLE |
| The news were broken by Shia LaBeouf at the MTV Video Music Awards tonight. see video below. We may add that the title is about as good as official since MTV and Paramount Studios are both owned by media giant Viacom. We also consider the way the news were delivered to be a little injoke that has Lucas/Spielberg written all over it: Remember a few months back. Shia spilled the beans a bit too early re: his involvement in Indy 4. He has been so exemplary ever since that we suspect he was promptly enrolled into the Spielberg-Lucas' Special Penitary Class in The Art of Keeping Your Mouth Shut. Anyway, his masters seem very pleased with their student: They may have given Shia the task of spilling the beans both as a compliment to his efforts on the movie and everything else so far - and as a little injoke reference to his previous indiscretion. An official announcement is also up at the official Indiana Jones site. Do we like that title? We'll get used to it. |

Exclusive: More on the Indy 4 L.A Sets
EXCLUSIVE: MORE ON THE INDY 4 LOS ANGELES SETS Photo: HFW member thebacklot |
| We have another exclusive for you: HFW member thebacklot has come through with news, details and some great photos from the Indy 4 sets. Most of the pics and info are from the Universal lot: the pyramid set and Mexican Street. The big news is that unless someone has launched a major confusion campaign, a third studio in the LA area seems to be involved as an Indy 4 production location: Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, more specifically a sound stage on their lot: Stage 16. The prop items from the Warner Property Department definitely aren't Mesoamerican and they do indeed convey enticing Raiders vibes and echoes - For the record: yes, we do believe there are plot avenues that would allow for ancient Mesoamerican as well as Egyptian elements in Indiana Jones 4. Read thebacklot's highly interesting report on the sets and enjoy the big size photos in the HFW forum here. Big thanks to thebacklot for a contribution that is simply extraordinary.
