Just picked this up off of ebay and it's freakin' awesome! I've never seen it before. 119 pages, hardcover, slightly bigger than a magazine and TONS of pictures from Last Crusade that I've never seen before. Most of these japanese magazines/books use different pics.

Anyone else have it?

You can see a bunch of pics from the auction here:

Not sure how long they will be up for.

I don't have the time to upload these to photobucket right now, anyone want to save these somewhere for posterity so they don't dissapear forever?

Photo #15 & #16 have a few storyboards from "Crusade" that I don't recall seeing elsewhere but, as far as I'm concerned, the REAL PRIZE in this book is...

Photo #22. A good look at one of the Pankot Palace matte paintings. Lots of unseen stuff in that image!(y) (Does anyone know if this has been published somewhere else?)

Nice find, digitalfreak!:D

Oh, WOW. I have the "Raiders" Illustrated Screenplay but the "Doom" screenplay is one book that I do NOT have!:( The Japanese book doesn't show the full painting so thanks a bunch for the scans, Junior!:hat: New item for my 'want list'!

Comparing the wide images of the palace on the hilltop with the one in the film, they are reversed so the shot was probably flipped in the final cut. Great to see all the detail in the matte that can't be seen in the sunset silhouette. (The wall, the opening gate & arches, etc.) AWESOME!

Yes, I have the "Complete Making of...". This is the painting that wasn't used in the film. Mike Pangrazio rocks!

It should be on everyone's 'want list'. I'm sure you'll be able to find a copy.:hat:

Yes, JuniorJones, the "Doom" Illustrated Screenplay should be on everyone's 'want list' but who's to say for sure with the present crowd...:rolleyes:

Since the Pankot matte painting is shown fully in the "Doom" Illustrated Screenplay, the prize for this Japanese book is relegated to the rare storyboards. To my knowledge, some are available elsewhere but a few others are not.

Granted, I've only seen the pages posted on the auction link but none of the photos struck me as being rare/unseen. Care to share the rare, DigitalFreak?
