It's a theory going around the Indy forums. Another name for Garden of Eden, however if that were the 'McGuffin' It could still be controversial (as George has apparently mentioned in the interview) because of the Islamic belief that a soul when a person dies goes to paradise, not too far off from Chrisitianity's heaven. It may be possible that Eden is one and the same. It can be a film that relates to both death and rebirth. And with the addition of the heavily rumoured "Indy's daughter" More

What is the garden of life? Is it similiar to the fountain of youth, because if it is, I think it would work well with Indy's aging problem and create a nice dillemma for an aging hero: Do I drink to stay young and keep fighting evil or do I pass and accept that my time is coming to an end? But then again, the holy grail offered eternal life already, so that may be too much of a repeated idea. More

Thank you for condescending to put me in my place. You certainly told me!!! By way of punishment I've amended my original comments:
1. You're right, the opening sequence is absolutely brilliant. And characters such as Indiana Jones are much more interesting with their mystique removed.
2. As you say, Spielberg shot the film so quickly Harrison Ford wouldn't have had time to grow his hair between takes. I must be punished for that one. By the way, what's a 'filp-flub'?

films from this era of cinema were great , perhaps because of the lack of computer effects that make everything seem so unremarkable, or because of the "in camera" stunt work that really does make you sit up and gasp in awe, but when a belated sequel is made so many years after the last one, you just know it's gonna suck.

I have confidence in Lucas, Speilberg and Ford with this movie. The only questionable thing to me is the quality of the script which I have yet to see.

To be frank, Last Crusade is the best of the series. Nonetheless Indiana is always a great character due to his human frailties, in all three films. With Ford's ageing, this will certainly work once more.
As for villains, well, Nazis are out due to this being set in the 50s to make Ford's age make sense. Villains don't matter as long as Indy has an interesting point: "It belongs in a museum!" More

I also just rewatched Raiders...and what a fine film it is. Where this succeeds and the sequels fail is in tone and respect to character. In the sequels, especially in The Last Crusade, all the characters become parodies. Indy had a real life gravitas in Raiders, but becomes hyper-real as Ford becomes too comfortable in the role, overemphasising the character's traits in the sequels. Sallah, becomes a bumbling buffoon, as does Marcus Brody; both of which were beautifully performed by both a More

Spielberg is still coming out with decent stuff and it will be cool to see all three join forces for one last battle against the forces of evil! I like the lance-that-killed-Jesus idea as well
I am totally up for seeing it made More

This could be very ,very scary. George had an idea that the others said " Uh Oh!!!!" and then "said can't we get another one!!!!!."
A Mac Guffin is a plot device that motivates the characters and advances the story but has little relevance to the plot itself.It was best used by the esteemed Mr Hitchcock in such classis as "North by North West","Notorious", and "Psycho ".Hitchcock says it is the object around which the p More

By far one of the best characters in the Indy movies, played by the chinese kid in the goonies. Jet Li would be perfect to play the grown up "Shortie" and thus catapult him from Hong Kong Superstar to Ultra Super Mega Hollywood Heavyweight in one foul, ass-kicking swoop. This should lighten the load somewhat for the ageing HF in the impending "impossible situation" fight scenes. No Shanghai Noon comments please! More

Despite ROTS being decent enough its hard for me to have faith in any Lucas project. I agree that the ending to last crusade is perfect and it should be left alone. More

Short Round. Indy walks towards the pulpit, and he looks around. Who is he marrying, Marion Ravenwood or Willy Scott? He peers at the crowd, and there is Marion looking beautiful. She winks with a knowing smile... The familiar wedding music begins, and... p;
...The WW2 German truck which chauffeurs Marion turns too quickly, rolling onto its side, exploding and killing her instantly, thus ruining her and Indy's big day. More

Could the lance that skewered the side of Christ be the McGuffin to which Lucas cryptically refers?

| Indy IV Opening... as I imagine it |
The Paramount Logo melts into an embroidered version of a "Home Sweet Home " type framed image in a simple bedroom. Indiana Jones is dressed in a suit. The music is dramatic. Panic is on his face, and he jams a chair against the door. Outside, footsteps are getting closing. Indy eyes frantically about the room, wiping sweat from his brow.
There's a knock at the door and Indy grunts. We now here the familiar voice of Henry Jones Sr (Sean Connery) outside. He says: "It's time, J More

Don't do it! You have, in "Last Crusade", a perfect ending to maybe the best trilogy in movie history. Does anyone involved think, really believe, that Part 4 is going to add something valuable, and not take something away from the first three? More

In regards to the interview, I can't wait! It should hopefully be good, even if Ford is knocking on a bit. More

Could it be that Indy is going to be tunnelling under the Holy Mount in Jerusalem? Now, that would be incediary.
Can't wait for this, and I have total faith that THE BEARDED ONE will get this right!
In the meantime, maybe Steven would like to take a look at my gorgeous shots from Egypt at www.mysticegypt.blogspot.com/. More
