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.
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.
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.
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.

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)
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.
