Empire recently caught up with John Hurt (a name that must only be spoken in a growly voice) and he filled us in on a few details about what sort of sequences he's been shooting for Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.
We'd always expected his role, which he still won't officially confirm as being Abner Ravenwood, father of Marion, to be just a cameo. But he's saying that he'll be there in the thick of it for much of the second half of the movie.
"Am I involved in the big action set pieces? Oh yeah," he said. "He is, shall we say, very much there by name in the first half and present in the second half...I shot in Hawaii and five different Hollywood studios: Universal, Downey, Paramount, Warner and Sony. I don't think I'm allowed to tell you anymore".
John Hurt: Action Hero? Nice.
In other Indy IV news, it's been finally confirmed, by Variety, that the trailer will be released next week. Apparently, the delay in seeing any footage has been due to the fact that the film only recently wrapped, so all the exciting stuff you'd want for a trailer wasn't ready until very recently. The trailer will be attached to The Spiderwick Chronicles in the States on Valentines Day and should appear online at the same time. Stay tuned.
