I finally get to watch Indiana Jones over the weekend. When the first Indy - Raiders came, I was still in school, and I can remember watching it in a local theatre without understanding a single words. But the bolder chase & the truck scene are still fresh in my head. I don’t want to write some review of my opinion on the movie. But if you ask me whether I like the new Indiana Jones after 19yrs, I’d say, I’d grown older not Indy.

The adventure continues :)

Indy 4 released at US today, the net is flooded with Indiana Jones reviews. For me, I’m avoiding all reviews, I hate bad reviews of Indy and above all I HATE SPOILERS. Damn the critics at Cannes. Come May 30 catch me at a multiplex in Bangalore :)

It’s official, “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” will release in India on 30th May 08, a good one week after the US release. Time to crack the whip Dr. Jones. I saw the rushes, you know what, the fedora still looks damn good on Indy. [My earlier post on Indiana Jones]

Raiders of the Lost Ark, the first of the Indiana Jones trilogy, one of my favorite movie of all time. I like Indiana Jones mostly because, he’s not perfect, makes whole lots of mistakes though at the end he beats up all the baddies :)

The movie had quite a fan following allover the world, but some fans go that extra miles.

Three kids from Mississippi, 1982, created a shot-to-shot remake of the movie. twenty-one years later, their fan film creation has become an underground hit receiving attention from media elites such as CNN, Vanity Fair and even a nod from Steven Spielberg himself.

And now, in February of 2004, it was announced that producer Scott Rudin (Addams Family, School of Rock) purchased the rights to the untitled life story of the three Mississippi kids who remade Raiders of the Lost Ark over the course of 7 years. The film will chronicle the childhood adventures of Chris Strompolos, Eric Zala and Jayson Lamb on their ultimate quest to remake the greatest film in cinema history.
