Frank Marshall

Producer Frank Marshall was interviewed by Comingsoon.net (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=40003) with some interesting insights into many of the leading characters for IJ4. May be worth inserting into the cast section of the article. Codymr (talk) 00:17, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actuallly he revealed the information to MTV, and it's now in the article. Alientraveller (talk) 08:56, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly dubious source

This appears to confirm LaBeouf as "Mutt" and Spalko's first name. However, this source is based on a German translation of Lego toys. Would anyone else comment? Sam Horton (2007-10-14). "Details regarding Blanchett's role". IGN. {{cite news}}: Check date values in: |date= (help) Alientraveller (talk) 23:41, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Where are the references for it being in "development hell" and dispute over it being because of the use of a skull as a plot device? 194.72.54.162 (talk) 09:43, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Read the article. The lead summary doesn't require sources. Alientraveller (talk) 10:58, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Film and television appearances

I've always felt that this line should be removed because Young Indy was conceived and created as a television series of mostly hour-long episodes deliberately aired out of order. All the "chapter" stuff happened after the series had wrapped and aired. Also, I don't think it's very appropriate to point it out in this article, as it isn't very relevant to this film; the whole "complete adventures of Indiana Jones" marketing campaign was in 1999, and Indy 4 was still on the backburner at that point. The line about the character's film and television adventures would best belong in the Indiana Jones franchise article. The Wookieepedian (talk) 19:37, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Possible edit warring?

How come practically every edit I make to this article ends up reverted? It says on the official website that the film is to be released in most theatres worldwide on May 22, 2008. I find that only 1 release date mentioned in the infobox is confusing because it's not known which country the release date is for. "Worldwide" and the link to the world is just so people will know it's most of the world. Also, the links to George Lucas is to keep consistency in most links to articles. The flag, however, is not official; it's the only flag, besides the Earth flag, to describe "worldwide". Could someone please enlighten me? Tds247 (talk) 19:58, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's because the release date in the infobox is for "the first public, non-festival release date of the film." As for the flags and the links, someone else can take that one. QuasiAbstract (talk) 10:37, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly based of Tokyo DisneySea's Indiana Jones Ride?

For those that are familiar with Japan's Tokyo DisneySea theme park, there is a ride called "Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Crystal Skull". There is a small possibility that this movie, or at least the title, is based off of that ride. Should this be included in a "Trivia" section?Unit0918 (talk) 04:05, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:AVTRIVIA about content organization. I certainly do recognize it might be worthwhile to create a box in the development section about the skulls appearing in the ride and the four Max McCoy novels. Alientraveller (talk) 12:45, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia is illegal, and it sounds like original research, unless you have a reference for a connection. ColdFusion650 (talk) 21:11, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shia LaBeouf is Indiana Jones's son!

I have many resources that all say it is official that Shia LaBeouf is Indy's son! —Preceding unsigned comment added by General Mannino (talk • contribs) 21:36, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I think we know that, but those sources probably don't meet WP:RS. Save it for the movie ok? Alientraveller (talk) 21:42, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You may have many resources but they're not official. Harrison Ford himself said Indy is no father and I think Ford beats all of your sources.194.78.37.122 (talk) 15:59, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Roswell?

Okay, I just watched the preview trailer. at around 1:26 it shows a crate that a pair of glasses fall onto and break. the crate is labelled Roswell, New Mexico 1947. What might that be about? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.27.212.23 (talk) 03:30, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

satisfied all three men in 2006

Who's the third man?? CapnZapp (talk) 15:48, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please just read it "The film was in development hell since the 1989 release of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, because Spielberg and Ford initially disagreed over Lucas's choice of the skulls as the plot device. Screenwriters Jeb Stuart, Jeffrey Boam, M. Night Shyamalan, Frank Darabont and Jeff Nathanson wrote drafts, before a script by David Koepp satisfied all three men in 2006." Alientraveller (talk) 15:55, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The three men in question are mentioned in this small, but to the point, quotation: "Spielberg and Ford initially disagreed over Lucas" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.249.234.80 (talk) 14:05, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sallah

Should it mention that Davies wasn't asked to reprise his role. It use to be in this article, but know it's found in Sallah's page. Your thoughts. Wildroot ([[User talk:Wildroot|Talk) 14:50, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I did remove it a while ago, as I felt the article made it clear Mac is meant to be Sallah's 1950s counterpart. Alientraveller (talk) 22:20, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
