Avilos said:indyt any artifact Indy finds would not have anything to do with the real history
of 1957. Was the Lost Ark really discovered in 1936? Real artifacts were found by real people. They would never shoehorn Indy into a real archaeological dig. Also no real life discoveries would be exiting enough. Indy's discoveries exist in a secret history that most of the world never learns about.
On Monday, Indiana Jones bursts through Yale's Branford College courtyard on the motorcycle, continuing on through Saybrook College. Tuesday, he'll head to a Yale baseball diamond off Derby Avenue, which has a tunnel running under it, according to Martin's research.
"I'm sure they're going to make it try to fly out of the tunnel," Martin told the aldermen. Then Indy "steals a football from practice and uses it as a weapon," he said. (Martin later elaborated the football throw was just an example of a possible moment of lighthearted comic relief, not a guarantee.) Thursday, the chase will hit downtown's Wall Street, then Friday, it'll fly by Yale's Sterling Memorial Library, on to Woolsey Hall, where the film crew hopes to stage the finale.
Ford bursts through Commons, which is set up to look like a study hall. "Books will be flying, students will be running." If all goes as currently planned, a Sedan may flip over outside on Grove Street.
WEST HAVEN — Move over, L.A.
"Hollywood West" — as in West Haven — may be growing into a prime set for Tinseltown's A-list actors this summer.
The nickname jokingly rolled off the tongue of city spokesman Michael P. Walsh when he confirmed this week that West Haven may join the elite status of New Haven as the production location for a major movie.
No, make that two major movies.
Within the last two weeks, representatives of both the Robert De Niro and Al Pacino thriller, "Righteous Kill," and the fourth installment of the "Indiana Jones" series rubbed shoulders with city officials to discuss potential sites throughout West Haven.
She also referred the "Indiana Jones" film crew to the First Congregational Church in West Haven when they asked if she knew of any quaint white churches in the area.
Paramount Pictures representative Abby Eon, in a letter to the city, said the producers for the PG-rated action-adventure film are considering using the exterior of the historic church on the Green, "with actors entering and exiting the church."
Neither Eon nor church officials returned calls seeking further comment.
"Since the movie is set in 1957, we will need to have only our period 'picture cars' on the street (both driving and parked)," wrote Eon. Yale University's practice field on Derby Avenue may also be transformed into a stunt-packed action scene on July 3. Shooting in New Haven is set to begin June 28.
According to Police Chief Ronald M. Quagliani, the West Haven Board of Police Commissioners will consider during its Tuesday meeting Paramount's request to close Derby Avenue intermittently on July 3 and 6 between 6:30 a.m. and 7 p.m.

If you're over 18 and want to get paid for possibly standing in the background on Chapel Street as Ford is filmed on his motorcycle, go to the Omni Hotel at Yale between 1 and 9 p.m. on either day. The photo is not returnable.
Hold on there for just a moment...SMM is NOT, repeat, NOT the script being used. Lucas, and come to think of it Hollywood at large, never throws a good idea away. Instead that good idea become a part of anothe good idea. That is what we are seeing with this new script/movie. There will be some elements that are going to be reused simply because they were good ideas. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.Gobi-1 said:Never thought about a funeral. Still I think there's a lot of evidence suggesting scenes and ideas from The Saucer Men of Mars script ended up in the final script.
Indiana Jones Comes Calling -- For Classic Engines

Indiana Jones’s dramatic chase through downtown New Haven next month will unfold against a back-drop of classic cars like this one — assuming, that is, that the film’s props department can convince 40 owners to park their mint-condition autos for the spectacle.
I think Gobi was already suggesting that only stuff from that scrapped piece made it into the one now being shot, not the whole story.Aaron H said:Hold on there for just a moment...SMM is NOT, repeat, NOT the script being used.
