  • For those who have listened to the soundtrack (and no I am NOT requesting a copy), I have just one important question: Does it utilize the Bond theme during action sequences? If I don't get a proper blasting of the Bond theme just once in Daniel's …

  • I can't believe we're a month out from release here in the U.S. Am I actually going to see NTTD in four weeks' time? It seems so surreal.

  • I thought Shia was rather good. He was a bit of a jerk then and has proven himself to be an even bigger jerk since, which I genuinely think colors a lot of people's opinion of the acting and the character. But I do believe that if people knew noth…

  • I'm always afraid to be an optimist about these things but guys...I think this movie is actually coming out in October. I get goosebumps every time I stop to think about it.

  • Did anyone see the Express article posted today where Spielberg states that the film is set in the 1960s? We can take it with a grain of salt, I suppose, but it's a bit more proof that we're looking at the 60s for the decade. https://www.express…

  • Has anyone given any thought to what the "creepy crawly" scene could possibly be in Indy 5? So far we've had snakes, a barrage of bugs, rats, and fire ants. What's left? Perhaps hornets/wasps? Or maybe scorpions?

  • In anticipation of a title drop (which, I realize, could still be months out at this point), I've been thinking back through the various Indy draft scripts that have been penned throughout the years. One title that I keep thinking of is INDIANA JON…

  • Whether it's in the present day or a flashback, it does lend credence to the article about Mads Mikkelsen's character as a Nazi, or at least someone with Nazi ties.

  • I would love to see Koepp's unused draft surface someday and give it a read. He's not a great writer but, when he's on point, he can be a very good one, and I would be fascinated to know what direction he and Spielberg were taking the film versus w…
  • @jake24 This is absolutely phenomenal. If I didn't know otherwise, I would have thought that was a genuine Eon-released trailer. I think 999 out of 1000 people in the general public would think so, too. Wonderful work, my friend!

  • I still like CRYSTAL KINGDOM, even though it's not accurate. I think it has a lyrical quality to it and sounds suitably pulpy.
