-No time for love, Dr.Jones!

Nej, nu är där fan ingen tid för kärlek för Indy (eller Henry Jones Junior som han egenligen heter), comebacken kryper ju allt närmre och närmre. Informationen om filmen har varit snål hitills och inspelningteamet har faktiskt lyckats jävligt bra med att inte läcka ut några detaljer, men nu lättar George Lucas lite på locket i en intervju med Vanity Fair. Om du är allergisk mot allt som stavas spoiler bör du sluta läsa här.

Jag har varnat dig.

 Lucas is convinced he won’t please everyone. “I know the critics are going to hate it,” he says. “They already hate it. So there’s nothing we can do about that. They hate the idea that we’re making another one. They’ve already made up their minds.”

At least the legions of Indy geeks will be pleased, right?

“The fans are all upset,” Lucas says. “They’re always going to be upset. ‘Why did he do it like this? And why didn’t he do it like this?’ They write their own movie, and then, if you don’t do their movie, they get upset about it. So you just have to stand by for the bricks and the custard pies, because they’re going to come flying your way.”

And then (spoiler warning) Lucas gets a little more (spoiler alert) specific: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull will apparently nudge our hero away from his usual milieu of spooky archaeology and into the realm of (spoiler Code Red) science fiction. “What it is that made it perfect was the fact that the MacGuffin I wanted to use and the idea that Harrison would be 20 years older would fit,” Lucas says. “So that put it in the mid-50s, and the MacGuffin I was looking at was perfect for the mid-50s. I looked around and I said, ‘Well, maybe we shouldn’t do a 30s serial, because now we’re in the 50s. What is the same kind of cheesy-entertainment action movie, what was the secret B movie, of the 50s?’ So instead of doing a 30s Republic serial, we’re doing a B science-fiction movie from the 50s. The ones I’m talking about are, like, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, The Blob, The Thing. So by putting it in that context, it gave me a way of approaching the whole thing.”

Så, Lucas, Spielberg och resten av gänget väljer alltså att byta ut tyska nazister mot ryssar och det ockulta mot sience-fiction. Redan på pappret ser det här ut som en kandidat till årets film. Läs resten av artiklen här. Och just det, den första trailer kommer finnas på ett internet nära dig den 15-februari (om allt går enligt planerna!).
