Some Coice Quotes from the Indy diaries
Spielberg
talking about TOD) "Personally I don't love the movie. There is some work I'm proud of - the roller-coaster mine car chase, and the sequence where Indy's trapped with Short Round as the ceiling spikes grind down towards them, while Willie Scott tries to find the courage to stick her hands in a hole full of insects and slime to pull a lever that will reverse the mechanism and save the day - but the parts on that one don't add up to a satisfying whole for me."
(On Last Crusade) "George wanted Indy to go after the Holy Grail but I just didn't think that sounded very exciting. It was static, it was a cup - what's it going to do? Sit on a shelf while I take pictures of it?"
(On KOCS) "We cast the (original) films with great actors. In Skull, we continue the tradition with Shia LeBeouf, who was my one and only choice for Mutt, Cate Blanchett for the villian, John Hurt, Ray Winstone, Jim Broadbent and Karen Allen who's back by popular demand as Marion Ravenwood. But in the end, Harrison Ford was and will always be the soul of Indiana Jones. The casting of that man to play that role was the most important decision we made.
My responsibility in this new film has been to honour the connection to the generation that grew up watching the first trilogy, and to introduce the character to those who didn't. I can say that bringing Indiana Jones back for another adventure was a privilege and the right thing to do. Indiana Jones' story, that started in the jungles of Peru, has finally come to an end in -
- C'mon, you didn't really think I was going to tell you the ending, did you?"
Now is it just me or did Spielberg say "first trilogy" as in the old films or as in the trilogy before the one we're making now?
