Double post but David Koepp talked a bit about The Nuked fridge part here:
Interviewer:
Since you brought up Frank Darabont, his unmade script for Indiana Jones 4 is widely available online, and a lot of fans say they prefer it to yours. Is that annoying, considering that yours was actually made and released, which is a bigger achievement?
Koepp:
No, it?s not. When you work on something that has a big history and fanbase, I always likened it to when you have free-throws in a basketball game, and the crowd is all waving trying to make you miss. And you really have to tune it out. If you want to ask me in another way and provoke me, I can say something more!
Interviewer: No, it?s fine! Unless you want to say you hate Frank Darabont or something!
Koepp:
I?ve never actually meant Frank Darabont, but I hear he?s a lovely guy. Just for the record, the Indiana Jones jumping into the fridge bit is in the Darabont script. And I loved it, which is why I pushed it into the movie! I thought it was a great idea!
