This can't be right. However my brother's girlfriend who is a manger for blockbuster video here in a the UK (a Viacom company) says she went to a conference yesterday and there was a trailer for Indy 4.

I have yet to get details of what was in the trailer but this can't be true.

She says she knows the original trilogy very well and this was stuff she'd never seen.

Can she have confused it with a Young Indiana Jones chronicles trailer or new game?

Anyone else heard of this Indy 4 trailer doing the rounds? I didn't think they'd even finished the script yet, let alone shot anything.

most likely a teaser trailor, probubly fan made in fact, I've seen many for bond and star wars:

just have a few shots of indy from the previous films, a few times have something written against a black background like. So it may go like this:

If adventure Had a name

*indy being chased by boulder*

It must be

*indy jumps onto raiders truck*

Indiana Jones

*raiders March*
*show random action clips from trilogy*

Indiana Jones 4
Summer 2005








still, I would like to see it

I challenge anyone to make some teaser Trailors for Indy 4

I haven't heard of anything like this, but there still is that chance.......

For an Indy IV trailer, one with footage of old films, you'd have to have things everyone recognizes, or things that show Indy as who he is.

Maybe it could be the very first shot in raiders, were The guy pulls the gun out and Indy notices, pulling his whip out and using it, then walking into view. Very good scene to show who Indy is.

Of course, you could always have assorted scenes/ truck, Mine Cart, Tank, Bridge, whatever. And all the Indy looks were he's like, "Oh No!" right into the camera.

I guess we'll just have to wait and find out.

If thay do an IJ4 trailer thay should wate till thay have footage of the new movie and give us some of that but not to much. You know to get us all worked up and go crazzy.

Of course there is no such thing. They're not even done making the script! Thats ridiculous...

The script it finished, they are now revising it.

How do we know that "beyond the shadow of a doubt-no matter what-it's set in stone" the script is done?

They've had many scripts it seems, but not the perfect one yet. So you think they have a script and are trying to make it the perfect one?

They haven't made "many" scripts. Fans are just deciding to have a little fun. They're script-making is TOTALLY confidential and they don't tell ANYONE ANYTHING.

I don't think...I know.
The script is finished, but there are serveral more drafts that I am sure the script will go through.

i'm sorry but read that sentence 10 times in a row and spot the contradiction.

if it needs more drafts then it is obviously not finished,when a final draft is delivered then the script is 'finished'

Evidently you do not understand the revision process. I am an English Major and have a good grasp on that concept. Let me explain.

When I write a paper (or in this case a script) and have written it all I have finished it. When I go back and proof it and make some changes, and when I finish doing that I have completed it. Two different words that mean two different things in the world of English. (not common English, but the subject of English)

I concure with Aaron.

There are several drafts a screenplay must go through. From first draft (which most screenwriters use to pitch to studios to try and get the greenbacks) to shooting scripts (where line producers dissect the script into similar scenes so the production crews can "shoot" the movie). In the case of Indy IV, Darabont was hired to write a script (most likely with only a shakey skeleton plot) to start from. His previous work and credentials served as the impetus to get a first draft written (I could elaborate more on this process, but I won't).

At this point Aaron is talking out certain scene rewrites, to help evey line advance the story. In addition, the screenplay is given to the studios "word-processing" depeartment (for lack of a better term) to re-write the entire screenplay into numbered scenes for the above mentioned line-producers.

It quite possible a redundant process, but that by no means means (he he) the script isn't finished. In all actuality, it isn't finished until the film is in post-production. (because even on the set, something could be improvised and re-written.)

I am sure is was only Barryson Ford's lack of understanding of the screenwriting process, and not an oversight of revision.

Im going whith Aaron H the script is done,
Roll camera!
