In 1957, as the Red Scare grew, Indy was targeted by anti-Communist sympathizers who spotted him talking to Russian spies, trying to pursuade him to search the mysterious Crystal Skull. A student protest against him forced him to run away with the help of one of his young students, a greaser named Mutt Williams. Jones was later contacted by the United States government to retrieve the Crystal Skull before the Communists. Upon discovering that his ex-girlfriend Marion Ravenwood has been kidnapped Indy begins his journey to find the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Accompanied by Mutt, and a Yale colleague by the name of Mac, Indy fights off the Communists and their beautiful female leader, Agent Irina Spalko.

Also, you probably noticed that I threw in a bit of speculation. I base it on this: In the "Ireland, April 1916" episode, Indy's daughter mentions "Lucy", which I assume is her own daughter. And the "Chicago, May 1916" episode that aired in the UK shows the same daughter from the "Ireland, April 1916" episode being the mother of Spike, who calls Indy "grandpa". So we have Indy's daughter, who is mother to Lucy and Spike, who are in turn two of Indy's grandchildren.

Also the "Peking, March 1910" episode shows Indy at Thanksgiving dinner with his family, during which his granddaughter Caroline and great-grandchildren Annie and Harry are shown. From this I infer that Indy has another offspring, which I'm gonna say is Mutt Williams, who would be father to Caroline and grandfather to Annie and Harry.

Anna mentions Indy's "Uncle Pete" in the "Peking, March 1910" episode, but she isn't specific as to which side of the family this uncle is on.

So Indy and Marion get together in KOTCS. Let's say that, not long after their marriage (circa 1958), they conceive another child, Suzanne Daphne Jones (named after Indy's sister and a name I made up respectively). Suzanne marries and has Spike and Lucy, while Mutt (who changes his last name to Jones following Indy and Marion's wedding) later marries and has Caroline Jones, who later gves birth to Annie and Harry Jones.

Just for fun, let's say they're all somehow related to Alyssa Jones and her two sisters, who appear in several of Kevin Smith's films, where they are portrayed as living in New Jersey in the 1990s. ;)

Sometime in the years between 1957 and 1992, Jones suffered a wound to his right eye, which required him to wear an eyepatch. He eventually had a daughter—Susan—in 1958, and five grandchildren: Caroline (in 1958), Mark/Spike (in 1977), Lucy (in 1982), Annie (in 1986) and Allison.[1] His oldest grandchild—Caroline—gave birth to his first great-grandchild—Harry—in 1988. By 1992, Jones was living in New York City with his daughter and grandchildren. He drove a 1952 Plymouth,[2] and used a cane to aid in walking. Still giving the occasional college lecture, he enjoyed relating stories of his youth to anyone he could get to listen.

[edit] Other stuff

Omar and Rashid. Same characters from YIJatCOTJ and ROTLA?


What a page should contain A brief summary of the episode's plot (see below) How the episode was received by critics Information on production and broadcasting of the episode Real-world factors that have influenced the work or fictional element


Total Film magazine's interview with Winstone he says


Quote: I'm ex-SAS, early SAS. I'm a Londoner and I met Indy in World War II when we were fighting the Germans and then the Cold War came along. This is all stuff I've made up in my head, by the way...



Whilst himself arguably a pastiche of various prior adventurers, the character can also be seen as a forerunner to (or in some cases direct influence on) other more recent fictional adventurers of a similar nature. These include:

The character of Indiana Jones has been directly referenced by several video game characters, such as:

  • In Morrowind, there is a skeleton who is partially crushed by a giant boulder in a cave. A note next to has his final thoughts, which reference the movies many times, and is signed "Indie."
  • Alabama Smith, protagonist of the Paganitzu computer game series
  • Duke Nukem 3D, a hidden area in the level "Hotel Hell" prompts Duke to say "We meet again, Dr. Jones!"
  • Rick Dangerous, as featured in the eponymous video game by Core Design
  • Jack Van Burace from the video game Wild Arms. In the intro, he is shown running away from rolling boulders.
  • Dr. Henry "Dakota" Fanning, Ph.D, a character in the game Kingdom of Loathing
  • Harrison Jones, a short lived NPC found inside the dungeon Zul'Aman in the game World of Warcraft
  • Indiana Jones was in The Ultimate Showdown.


The fan script Indiana Jones and the Sword of Arthur attempts to give an explanation for Old Indy's missing eye, as seen in The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. His eye is put out by the sword.[2]




  • John Hurt in a still-unrevealed role. He would not confirm or deny if he was playing Abner Ravenwood, Marion's father, who was said to be dead in Raiders of the Lost Ark.[3] The official site briefly posted he would play Abner, though this was taken down, either out of secrecy or being incorrect.[4] The character is a colleague of Jones who dissapeared in 1937 while searching for the skulls.[5] Frank Darabont had suggested Hurt when he was writing the screenplay.[6] The character is inspired by Ben Gunn from Treasure Island.[5] Hurt wanted to read the script before signing on, unlike other cast members who came on "because Steven — you know, 'God' — was doing it. And I said, 'Well, I need to have a little bit of previous knowledge even if God is doing it.' So they sent a courier over with the script from Los Angeles, gave it to me at three o'clock in the afternoon in London, collected it again at eight o'clock in the evening, and he returned the next day to Los Angeles." Hurt only appears in the film's second half.[3]




Spielberg said Ford was not too old to play Indiana: "When a guy gets to be that age and he still packs the same punch, and he still runs just as fast and climbs just as high, he's gonna be breathing a little heavier at the end of the set piece. And I felt, 'Let's have some fun with that. Let's not hide that.'"[7] Frank Marshall added, "You're seeing him in a different decade, so there's all kinds of new, interesting things that he has to deal with. Indy seems to be a little smarter [as an older man] – wiser",[8] and that "Indy is a fallible character. He makes mistakes and gets hurt. He has a few more aches and pains now. That's the other thing people like: He's a real character, not a character with superpowers."[9] Both Spielberg and Marshall recalled the line in Raiders, "It's not the years, it's the mileage."[7][8] Ford performed many of his own stunts during the shoot;[10] Spielberg stated he could not tell the difference between Ford during the shoots for Last Crusade and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.[11]

[edit] YIJC sources

News articles:

StarWars.com articles: 




including such high-profile names as Frank Darabont, Nicolas Roeg, Mike Newell, Deepa Mehta, Joe Johnston, Jonathan Hensleigh, Terry Jones, Simon Wincer, Carrie Fisher and Vic Armstrong.

Vic Armstrong, Harrison Ford's stunt double in the Indiana Jones films, directed the first half of Chapter 13: Adventures in the Secret Service. Besides being world's most prolific stuntman, Vic Armstrong is also a respected second unit director. Writer, director and three-time Oscar nominee Frank Darabont wrote the screenplay for 5 episodes of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. He was also hired to write the script for Indiana Jones IV in 2004. But unfortunately, his script got turned down by George Lucas a year later. A few episodess of the TV-series were directed by successful directors: Joe Johnston (Jurassic Park 3, Hidalgo and The Rocketeer) directed Chapter 6: Spring Break Adventure, Simon Wincer (Free Willy, The Phantom and Operation Dumbo Drop) directed Chapter 8: Trenches of Hell, Chapter 11: Oganga, The Giver and Taker of Life and Chapter 15: Daredevils of the Desert, and Terry Jones (actor/director of the famous British comedy group Monty Python) directed a part of Chapter 14: Espionage Escapades.



Indiana is approached by Mutt Williams (Shia LaBeouf), who requests his assistance in locating his mother Marion Williams (Karen Allen) and Indiana's old colleague Harold Oxley (John Hurt), who are being held captive by Soviet agents, led by Irina Spalko (Cate Blanchett), in South America. Assisted by Marion and adventurer Mac (Ray Winstone), Indiana and Mutt compete against the Soviets for posession of the Crystal Skull of Akator.



The Associated Press reported that, at the Cannes Film Festival, the film received a "respectful--though far from glowing--reception," saying that "some viewers at its first press screening loved it, some called it slick and enjoyable though formulaic, some said it was not worth the 19-year wait...," adding that J. Sperling Reich, who writes for FilmStew.com, said: "It really looked like they were going through the motions. It really looked like no one had their heart in it." [12] The New York Post reported that John Hurt himself, who played Indy's colleague in the film, disdained the movie and executive producer George Lucas. "It's cops-and-robbers stuff," Hurt reported to the Times of London, "And it's all to make Mr. Lucas an extra billion, as if he needs it."[13]

According to Reuters, George Lucas, recalling the backlash against his unpopular Star Wars prequels, anticipated such negative reviews, saying, "We're all going to get people throwing tomatoes at us. But it's a fun movie to make."[14]


Ben Burtt, the sound designer on the previous films and an editor and director on The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, left Lucasfilm in 2005,[15] but he returned to work on the new film because "I love the character and the series so much, I just had to be part of Crystal Skull."[16]

[edit] Production

[edit] Development

Template:Quote box

During the late 1970s, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg made a deal with Paramount Pictures for five Indiana Jones films.[17] Following the theatrical release of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in 1989, Lucas let the series end as he felt he could not think of a good plot device to drive the next installment.[18] However, he declared that if he ever found a new plot device that all three men liked, he would consider a fourth film.[19]

The film's long gestation meant the filmmakers had to give a new approach and setting. Instead of tributing Republic Pictures's 1930s serials, the film needed to be more like a 1950s B-movie.[20] Lucas's favorite film of that era was Forbidden Planet.[21] In 1992, Jeb Stuart was writing the screenplay,[22] and Last Crusade writer Jeffrey Boam was set to pen another draft three years later.[23] However, Spielberg and Ford were not interested in the unsubtle depiction of alien invaders, and development halted when Lucas made the Star Wars prequels.[20] "No way am I being in a Steve Spielberg movie like that," Ford told Lucas.[24]

Lucas also became interested in the crystal skulls while producing The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles,[20] and he attempted to feature them in an episode of the show's canceled third season.[25] He found them as fascinating as the Ark of the Covenant.[20] Author Max McCoy later incorporated the crystal skull mythology into his four Indiana Jones novels,[26][27][28][29] and the Tokyo Disney theme park attraction Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Crystal Skull opened in 2001. Some of the folklore surrounding the skulls suggest they were created by aliens (a quartz skull found in 1906 in Mexico resembled one), or by those living in Atlantis or the Hollow Earth (both legendary civilizations were depicted in an Indiana Jones video game and a McCoy novel respectively).[30]

Ford, Lucas, and Spielberg on the set.

By 2000, Spielberg's personal interest was ignited as his son asked when the next Indiana Jones film would be released.[31] The same year, Ford, Lucas, Spielberg, Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy met during the American Film Institute's tribute to Ford, and decided they wanted to enjoy the experience of making an Indiana Jones film again: Spielberg also found returning to the series a respite from his many dark films during this period.[32] M. Night Shyamalan was hired to write for an intended 2002 shoot,[31] but he was overwhelmed writing a sequel to a film he loved like Raiders of the Lost Ark, and claimed it was difficult to get Ford, Spielberg, and Lucas to focus.[33] Shyamalan did not produce an actual script.[24] Afterwards, Stephen Gaghan and Tom Stoppard were approached to write a new screenplay.[31] With a title already planned,[34] Frank Darabont, who wrote several The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles episodes, was hired in May 2002 to write.[35]

Darabont's screenplay was set in the 1950s, with surviving Nazis pursuing Jones.[36] Darabont came up with reintroducing Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen),[37] but he did not include Indy's son.[38] In December 2002, Spielberg said he planned to shoot two films before filming Indiana Jones 4 in 2004 for a 2005 release.[39] Although Spielberg loved the script,[36] Lucas rejected it in February 2004.[40] He and Spielberg acknowledged the 1950s setting could not ignore the Cold War, and the Russians were more plausible villains. Spielberg felt he could not satirize the Nazis after directing Schindler's List,[7] while Ford felt "We plum[b] wore the Nazis out."[24] Lucas also heard that Joseph Stalin had been interested in the crystal skulls.[41]

Jeff Nathanson was hired in October 2004 to write a new draft,[42] which was set around 1949.[43] Completed a year later, the script was handed over to David Koepp.[31] As 2006 began, Harrison Ford declared if the film was not made by 2008, then the filmmakers should drop the idea altogether.[44] Spielberg confirmed Indiana Jones 4 as his next film, calling it "the sweet dessert I give those who had to chow down on the bitter herbs that I've used in Munich".[45] Koepp looked at all previous scripts, and kept what he felt were good ideas (such as Mutt, which he felt was an interesting role reversal from Last Crusade).[41] The crystal skull was already the plot device.[32] He tried not to make his work a "fan script", in that he hoped to avoid any trivial references to the previous films.[46] He also aimed to make it less dark than Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom yet less comic than Last Crusade, aiming for the balance from the first film.[47] Frank Marshall disagreed, feeling the film's banter made it tonally closer to Last Crusade.[48] Koepp collaborated with Raiders of the Lost Ark screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan on some of the film's "love dialogue".[41]

[edit] Filming

File:Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.jpg
The production crew converts a storefront in downtown New Haven, Connecticut to be used in a scene set to take place in the 1950s.

Unlike the previous Indiana Jones films, Spielberg only shot the film in the United States as he did not want to be away from his family.[21] Shooting began on June 18 2007[49] at Deming, New Mexico.[50] An extensive chase scene set at Indiana Jones's fictional Marshall College was filmed between June 28 and July 7 at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut (where Spielberg's son Theo was studying).[51][50][52]

Afterwards, they filmed scenes set in the Peruvian jungles in Hilo, Hawaii until August.[52] Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is the biggest film shot in Hawaii since Waterworld, and was estimated to generate $22 million to $45 million in the local economy.[53] Because of an approaching hurricane, Spielberg was unable to shoot a fight at a waterfall, so he sent the second unit to film shots of Brazil's and Argentina's Iguaçu Falls. These were digitally combined into the fight, which was shot at the Universal backlot.[52]

Half the film was scheduled to shoot on five sound stages at Los Angeles:[54] Downey, Sony, Warner Bros., Paramount and Universal.[3] Filming moved to Chandler Field in Fresno, California, substituting for Mexico City International Airport, on October 11, 2007.[55] After shooting aerial shots of Chandler Airport and a DC-3 on the morning of October 12, 2007, filming wrapped.[56][57] Although he originally found no need for re-shoots after viewing his first cut of the film,[36] Spielberg decided to add an establishing shot, which was filmed on February 29 2008 at Pasadena, California.[58]

[edit] Design

Spielberg and Janusz Kamiński, who has shot all of the director's films since 1993's Schindler's List, rewatched the previous films to study Douglas Slocombe's style. "I didn’t want Janusz to modernize and bring us into the 21st century," Spielberg explained. "I still wanted the film to have a lighting style not dissimilar to the work Doug Slocombe had achieved, which meant that both Janusz and I had to swallow our pride. Janusz had to approximate another cinematographer’s look, and I had to approximate this younger director’s look that I thought I had moved away from after almost two decades."[20] Spielberg also did not want to fast cut action scenes, relying on his script instead for a fast pace,[20] and had confirmed in 2002 that he would not shoot the film digitally, a format Lucas had adopted.[39] Lucas felt "it looks like it was shot three years after Last Crusade. The people, the look of it, everything. You’d never know there was 20 years between shooting."[21]

While shooting War of the Worlds in late 2004, Spielberg met with stunt coordinator Vic Armstrong, who doubled for Ford in the previous films, to discuss three action sequences he had envisioned.[18] However, Armstrong was filming The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor during shooting of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, so Dan Bradley was hired instead.[59] Bradley and Spielberg used previsualization for all the action scenes, except the motorcycle chase at Marshall College, because that idea was conceived after the animators had left. Bradley drew traditional storyboards instead, and was given free rein to create dramatic moments, just as Raiders of the Lost Ark second unit director Michael D. Moore did when filming the truck chase.[60]

[edit] Effects

File:IJandthefakeleaves.jpg
Stunts involving vehicles were shot on location in Hawaii, while CGI was used to add plants to the forest

Producer Frank Marshall stated in 2003 that the film would use traditional stuntwork so as to be consistent with the previous films.[61] CGI was used to remove the visible safety wires on the actors when they did their stunts (such as when Indiana whips on to a lamp).[60] Timed explosives were used for a scene where Indiana drives a truck through a wall, which was dangerous because one explosive did not set off and landed in the seat beside Ford.[62]

During filming, Steven Spielberg estimated 30 percent of the film's shots would require CG matte paintings,[57] which contributed to the total 450 effects shots, which also include monkeys, army ants, the infinite warehouse crates, the flying saucer, the City of Gold, its gods and the atomic explosion. Spielberg initially wanted brushstrokes to be visible on the matte paintings for consistency with the effects of the previous films, but decided against it.[24] The script required a non-deforested jungle, but this would have been unsafe. Visual effects supervisor Pablo Helman (who worked on Spielberg's War of the Worlds and Munich) traveled to Brazil and Argentina to photograph elements that were composited into the final images.[63]

Ben Burtt, the sound designer on the previous films and an editor and director on The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, left Lucasfilm in 2005,[64] but he returned to work on the new film because "I love the character and the series so much, I just had to be part of Crystal Skull."[16]

[edit] Music

John Williams began composing the score in October 2007;[48] ten days of recording sessions wrapped on March 6, 2008 at Sony Pictures Studios.[65] The soundtrack features a Continuum, an instrument often used for sound effects instead of music.[66] The Concord Music Group released the soundtrack on May 20, 2008.[67]



[edit] Unproduced episodes

When the series was cancelled in 1993, there were a number of episodes Lucas had intended to shoot, but never went into production.[68] Though Lucas intended to produce episodes leading up to a 24-year-old Jones, the series was cancelled with the character at age 21.[69]

  • "Princeton, May 1905" was to involve Indy meeting Paul Robeson for the first time.[70][68]
  • "Russia, March 1909"
  • "Geneva, May 1909"
  • "Jerusalem, June 1909" was to involve Indy meeting Abner Ravenwood, who is trying to find a "sacred relic"—the Ark on the temple mount. In "Palestine, October 1917", Indy and his comrades suggest that they will be returning to this location by Christmas of 1917.
  • "Stockholm, December 1909"
  • "Melbourne, March 1910" was to involve Indy meeting Harry Houdini and flying in a balloon with him. The events of this episode are mentioned in "Palestine, October 1917".[71]
  • "Tokyo, April 1910"
  • "LeHavre, June 1916" was to involve Indy and Remy in basic training. When Remy is accused of murdering their drill sergeant, Indy defends him. The two also meet Jean Renoir, who teaches them how to fight in battles.
  • "Flanders, July 1916" was to involve Indy, Remy and Jaques fighting in Flanders. The events of this episode are mentioned in "Trenches of Hell".[71]
  • "Berlin, Late August 1916" was to be a second season episode that involved Indy escaping from prison and fleeing to Berlin, and would have been the third part in the Somme/Germany cycle following Indy's capture in Somme, his escape from prison, his escape from Germany itself. He has to decide between returning to the US (since the US isn't at war with Germany yet) or returning to the Belgium Army. He ultimately decides to return to the Belgian army. Indy would have met Sigrid Schultz.
  • "Moscow, March 1918" was meant as a sequel to "Russia, 1917". It would have involved Indy working with counter-revolutionary groups in order to allow the U.S. to takeover.
  • "Bombay, April 1919" was to involve Indy meeting Gandhi on his way back from his search for the Eye of the Peacock diamond, while Remy is still searching for the diamond. Remy and Indy fight about continuing the treasure search.
  • "Buenos Aires, June 1919" was to involve Indy being robbed while trying to returning to the U.S.. where he works as a tutor. He then ends up in South America as a tutor.
  • "Princeton, August 1919"
  • "Havana, December 1919" was to involve Indy his father in Cuba. The episode would have revolved around integration issues and Indy and Henry Sr. seeing a black player outplaying Babe Ruth.[72]
  • "Honduras, December 1920" was to involve Indy meeting Belloq for the first time and they become friends. Belloq steals a crystal skull and sells it. It might have also involved the adventure and expulsion of Indy from Honduras as mentioned in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
  • "Alaska, June 1921" was to involve Indy studying eskimos, and rushing to deliver medical supplies by dogsled in order to save a village. The events of this episode are foreshadowed in "Travels with Father".
  • "Brazil, December 1921" was to involve Indy and Belloq in a search for a lost city, and meeting Charles Fawcett.



The introduction of Mutt Williams (Shia LaBeouf) in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has led to speculation that he will take over the franchise from Ford.[73] In an interview with IGN, "[Spielberg] indicated that LaBeouf has to make multiple Transformers movies before he can move over and take on the fedora and bullwhip of Indiana Jones."[74] The actor himself said, "Am I into it? Who wouldn't be? I don't think that's reality. It's a fun rumor."[75] Ford said he would return for a fifth film if it doesn't take another twenty years to develop,[76] while Spielberg responded it would happen "only if you [the audience] want more".[77]



It was originally planned that after The Last Crusade, a second trilogy would be made with Phoenix as the young Indiana Jones and Ford as Henry Jones Sr. (effectively playing his own father). It became increasingly difficult for all parties to fully realize a second trilogy and so a TV series was thought of as the next best thing and a way to test if a prequel set of films could work; however, Phoenix's death in 1993 changed all that.


It has also been rumored for several years that a new Indiana Jones television series is in the works. The good DVD sales and recent television ratings of Young Indy re-runs has apparently re-sparked interest from Lucasfilm in such a show.[78][79][80]


George Lucas wrote an extensive time-line detailing the life of Indiana Jones, assembling the elements for about 70 episodes, starting in 1905 and leading all the way up to the feature films. Each outline included the place, date and the historical persons Indy would meet in that episode, and would then be turned over to one the the series writers. When the series came to an end about 31 of the 70 stories had been filmed.


The first production alternated between "Sean" and "Corey" episodes.

The series was shot in three stages. The first production occurred from 1991 to 1992, and consisted of sixteen episodes; five with younger Indy, ten with older Indy, and one with both—for a total of seventeen television hours. The second production occurred from 1992 to 1993 and consisted of twelve episodes; one with younger Indy and eleven with older Indy, for a total of fifteen television hours. The third and final production occurred from 1994 to 1995, and consisted of four made-for-television movies, for a total of eight television hours. In 1996, additional filming was done in order to re-edit the entire series into twenty-two feature films.

Lucas was given a "Story By" credit in many episodes. The series was unusual in that it was shot on location around the world. The series was designed so that each pair of episodes could either be broadcast separately, or as a 2-hour film-length episode.
