Just got back from a crazy weekend at Dragon Con, we met Karen Allen for the first time and she is just a sweetheart, she loved my costume and my Pikachu idol got a good laugh out of her. We got photo's of us at the con, photo's and videos of her during her panel which have alot of cool insights and Spoilers about the 5th movie and her experiences with being in the films. We are dissapointed though as we had a professional photographer take our pic with her but we never got it yet and said it would be sent to us, I would have loved to have shared it here as well in this post but it'll have to wait till I get it from the company and then I'll post it.
But without furthur adu here is our take from Dragon Con 2009.
Karen Signing our poster
Her panel, we got front row seats..(o~_^o)

GREAT videos, MarionRavenChu. What an exclusive!
1) The intentional backwards choronology for the ENTIRE TRILOGY is a real scoop! (Was your beau joking when saying he'd only learned recently that "Doom" is a prequel?)
2) So, according to Karen Allen's friend, Indy 5 is due in 2012. Too bad that clip was cut.
3) She lives in Tanglewood! I would love to hear that *special* piece of Indy music John Williams did for the festival. Does anyone have any more details on this?

Your welcome,
I tried to get as much scoop as I could for this site and I'm so sorry on the Indy 5 talk my camera had it's memory full and thats why it shut off, but when it got cut off she only had about 40 seconds more talk about how she hopes to be in the movie with more screen time being Indy's wife now and even herself has not even seen any script yet or even a title to the film, should be an interesting though in 2012 with movies cause I also look forward to Ghostbusters 3 the same year.

Don't be sorry. It's better than nothing at all and you captured the important bits (as for a full memory card, I've been there, too!) Thanks for filling us in with the remainder. Because of Allen's statement, I have a feeling this thread is about to become a WILDFIRE of Indy 5 speculation...
Anyway, Violet and ronicle are going to LOVE this! You've done a great service to Indy fans and have provided some of the best content on this forum in awhile.

What city was it in?
Atlanta, Georgia, we only went on Saturday just for the sole purpose to see Karen, left our house at 2 am got there at 9 pm, very long day as we were up for about 28 hours at the point we finally went to sleep and then had to drive back home but it was so worth it.

As per Stoo's prediction, yes, I absolutely happy that you managed to put the videos and photos up!!! Thanks very much, MarionRavenChu!
Btw, I love that golden Pikachu idol! That's so cool.
Now that Karen's said that about 2012, the speculation of the IMDB page also claiming that date is going to surface. It will be interesting to see if this pans out.
It's good to hear her being honest about the role she played in KOTCS, rather than completely kissing up to Spielberg and Lucas.
And yes, I would very much like to hear that new Marion's theme music piece. I'm very intrigued by that more than anything else.
I didn't get a video of this cause my cam memory was full but another question she was asked was about the drinking scene in the tent when she gets the white dress as a present, did you guys know that originally in the script Marion was supposed to seduce him and actually sleep with him and while he was asleep she would run away? But Karen refused to have her character do that and fought with Speilburg and Lucas about changing it in the script, they broke down after awile when she kept refusing and said if you guys can come up with a better plot then let us see it, so together they came up with what you see in the finished piece. I am so glad it went that way cause here I was dressed at the con in that very same dress..LOL
Oh I researched the thing about Tangelwood and I found this:

And Pirates of the Caribbean 4 is slated to come out that year as well. It's going to be a big summer, like 2008. Thanks for sharing the vids and pics.
