The other Empire picture
THE OTHER EMPIRE PICTURE FROM INDIANA JONES 4 Click to enlarge Front : Cate Blanchett, Harrison Ford. Background: Andrew Divoff (left) and Pavel Lynchnikoff (right) |
| The below mentioned article in the March 2008 issue of Empire Magazine contains another new (and great!!) photo. At last Cate Blanchett in action as Irina Spalko - and Harrison looking scruffy - the Indy way. The guys in the background are interesting. We believe the actors are Andrew Divoff (left) and Pavel Lynchnikoff (right), Both speak excellent Russian (Lynchnikoff is a native Muscovite; Divoff is Venezuelan but speaks half a dozen languages fluently, Russian among them); both could be seen manhandling Indy in the first official video (from the shooting in New Mexico).... Now for the really interesting part: they are dressed in US uniforms. (The name tag on Lynchnikoff's uniform ends in --evelt. Roosevelt ??) Let's say we draw the inevitable conclusion and we won't be the least surprised if one of the characters' name is really (highlight to make visible) Dovchenko. PS. Divoff and Lynchnikoff have portrayed many Russian or Russian heritage characters on TV as well as on the big screen, they've also worked with Harrison before: remember Air Force One?? |

New Indy pic in UK's Empire Magazine
NEW INDY PIC IN EMPIRE MAGAZINE Click to enlarge Scan from March 2008 Issue of Empire Magazine |
 A Soviet RPG-2 Grenade Launcher |
| UK's Empire Magazine publishes a new picture from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (KotCS) in their March 2008 issue, which hits the streets on tomorrow. Regular subscribers should have it already. Producer Frank Marshall told Empire that Steven Spielberg is "pretty much" done editing and that John Williams starts scoring the movie in February. He also said that KotCS is tonally related to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade when it comes to bantering between the characters. We find Indy's weapons upgrade interesting; as far as we can judge, the bigger gun is a Soviet RPG-2 Grenade Launcher (these blowtubes aren't really called 'a bazooka' since the Bazooka is a specific US WWII line of grenade launchers.) The RPG-2 was in Red Army use from 1949 - 1962, The weapon is also known to many South East Asia veterans since it was licenced to a number of countries, notably The People's Republic of China (there called type 56) and (North) Vietnam (types B40 / B50). The later RPG-7 - today's favorite among insurgents of all calibers - weren't in regular Red Army use until 1961. We notice that the picture setting is rainforest - and guess that the threesome's transport is also courtesy the Red Army. That assumption is based on Hawaii set pictures (found here) and pictures of the upcoming tie-in Lego sets (pictures here). Big thanks to HFW member -Jones- for the magazine scan and tips/corrections on RPGs (we first assumed the launcher was a RPG-7 despite the post 1957 service date. A correct service period and a more thorough study of the trigger of the RPG in indy's hand has made us go for the RPG-2.) |

Ryan Update: Fernando Mereilles to direct By Any Means Necessary?
RYAN UPDATE: MEREILLES TO DIRECT BY ANY MEANS BECESSARY? Brazilian director Fernando Mereilles |
Brazilian website Cinema em Cena, confirms the rumor that Golden Globes and Oscar nominated Brazilian director Fernando Mereilles (City of Gods, The Constant Gardener, City of Men) "is considering" an offer to direct By Any Means Necessary - and that he hasn't decided yet. The director is presently finishing Blindness (an adaption of Nobel Prize winner José Saramango's novel Ensaio Sobre a Cegueira (starring Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo, Gael García Bernal, Danny Glover, Alice Braga and Sandra Oh) and has Love's Labors Lost in development. The latter is a loose adaptation of Shakespeare's comedy based on Jorge Furtado's 2006 novel of the same name (Trabalhos de amor perdidos). If realized, Mereiiles will direct and produce. |
| Fernando Mereilles is also involved as a producer in three additional projects: Uprising (2008), Xingu (2009) and Round Trip (2009). Getting him on Ryan would certainly be a fresh take. Mereilles sure knows how to wield a high quality thriller way beyond content-free boredom. | |
