A source close to the production of Indiana Jones IV (still, as far as we know, unofficially called Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods, but more on that later) has divulged some information to us about the film’s shooting locations, opening set piece and what kind of a character Shia LaBeouf will be playing.
According to ‘Belloq,’ Indy IV is going to be shooting outside of Los Angeles, in New Haven, Connecticut, in New Mexico and in Hawaii. ‘Belloq’ also tells us that the opening action scene of the film will pit Dr. Jones against Russians agents in Area 51 – which is interesting, as this is a major similarity to the Frank Darabont draft that confirms my belief that much of what was in that script has made its way into what will be filmed this summer.
One thing that is different from Darabont’s draft is the addition of Shia LaBeouf’s character; ‘Belloq’ tells us that LaBeouf is going to be playing a greaser, wearing jeans and a leather jacket and riding around on a motorcycle. He also says that Indy and Shia will be thrown together in this adventure but will not learn they’re related until a pivotal action scene.
I’m holding back some details, but from what ‘Belloq’ tells me, and from my own quick reading through the Darabont draft, I would say that the main storyline remains roughly the same – it involves crystal skulls and takes its cues from Chariots of the Gods. Interestingly, there have been rumors of a video game tie in being released next year with the title Indiana Jones and the Staff of Moses; I checked with other sources and while I can’t confirm anything, this seems to be a stand-alone adventure and does not reflect the title or storyline of Indiana Jones IV.
Take all of this with caution: my sources are legit, but none of them have their hands on the latest script, and there is still tinkering going on. However, I do believe that it’s too late in the game to change the main storyline, so I feel pretty confident that we’ll see Indiana Jones in South American temples and involved with aliens.
The Indiana Jones IV information keeps rolling in (read last night's revelation of Shia LaBeouf's character and the film's plotline here), thanks to ‘Belloq.’ Our idol-theiving source confirms rumblings I’ve heard from other quarters (and frankly, from common sense): Karen Allen will be reprising the role of Marion Ravenwood in Indiana Jones IV, and she’s going to be Shia LaBeouf’s mom. And you’ll recall that Shia is Indy’s son. You do the math.
My sources tell me that this is a done deal, but Paramount offered no comment when contacted. It makes a ton of sense, though, as Karen Allen remains the iconic Indiana Jones love interest, and I’m sure Spielberg and company had no problem in securing her for the duration of the shoot. My sources have not been able to reveal how much time she gets in the movie, though.
There may be more stuff in the days to come, depending on what I can confirm, so keep a watch on this site. And by the way, I don’t have a copy of Frank Darabont’s script: I was allowed to read a printed version, but had to return it when I was done. And to be honest, if I did have it on pdf I wouldn’t send it to you guys, so you can stop emailing me and asking for it.
is this a trustworthy source?Chud is pretty realible from what I have seen

Lucas's last film - Episode III (by far the best of the prequels and better than ROTJ)
If this movie has aliens in it, or if much of this CHUD stuff is real, I'm not paying to see this movie. Fuck the nostalgia and music...fuckin aliens? Greaser Shia? Marion again? No religious artifacts?uh you knew marion was in it since the film got greenlit.
No thanks. No thanks. I'm not seeing this movie if this is true.
What the fuck is wrong with Marion, PD? Marion is fucking awesome.
Well yeah. But don't bring her back. WHYwould you rather Spielberg put his wife in it?
???Lucas mentioned she was a love interest in some interview at some oscars after party.
Nobody knows what Cate Blanchett's role is yet.

PD, why are your tastes so effing weird? Bringing back Marion and Daddy Jones is the best thing that'll happen to this movie.The fact it has Marion and Daddy Jones helps SAVE the movie from turning into another temple of doom. Being against shia and aliens is one thing. But Connery and Karen Allen? Come on!

Yeah, right.
AotC is much worse than RotS. There's one good action sequence, and then they fuck that up with the Yoda flipping around like a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow shit.

The best moments of RotS were within the first fifteen minutes. It may have been a lesser imitation of the original Star Wars but it had a spirited pace, and the neatest lightsaber fight in the movie.The sad thing is that scene was filmed to be MUUUUUCH longer. Lucas filmed it as nearly a hour long sequence ala what Jabba's Palace stuff was in RoTJ. But he had so much story material he had to conclude to it got cut to hell. :-\
Anyways, Indiana Jones. What do you guys think of Shia being a greaser instead of a hippie like originally rumored?

I'm not opposed to Shia being anything, to be honest. Shia is actually a decent actor from what I've seen. He wasn't that bad in Disturbia. The aliens idea is what is going to potentially fuck the movie over.

RUSSIANS IN AREA 51! WHO GETS PAID TO WRITE THIS SHIT!
Russians in Area 51. WTF is that shit. Here is my plot for Indy 4:
In the years since his last adventure Indy has slowed down considerably. While he is now an even more world renowned professor at a university, his days of traveling the world for artifacts are long gone. Instead this job has been handed to his assistant, the young and daring Johnny Jamison (played by Leo Dicaprio). But an unexpected bit of news serves to pull Indiana back into the world of adventure.
Marion, Indiana's estranged lover, returns and tells him that his father is very sick. The elder Jones has been quite requisive since his last adventure. While visiting his father in London, Indiana later learns that his son - whom he hasn't seen in more than a decade - has been kidnapped by Germans. With the help of Jamison, Indiana returns to the US to save his son. But little does he know that the plot is bigger than anything he could imagine.
Marion reveals herself as a villian, angered by Indiana's indifference to her pregnancy so many years ago. Now it is up to Indy to stop Marion from leading a small group of Germans from re-creating the Nazi party - by bringing their fuher back to life. A map to the Garden of Eden has led them to a remote area of Turkey, and now it's a race against time as Indiana tries to save his son while also trying to stop the Nazis from regaining power!

IT'S BETTER THAN ALIENSmaking the love interest from the first, a beloved film classic love interest...A NAZI is worse than aliens.

Ok lets be serious. Everyone should come up with a plot of Indy. There's no way anyone can make one worse than LOL ALIENS AND RUSSIANS

Chariots of the Gods is about ANCIENT astronauts, and while alien contact with ancient cultures – and that involves the crystal skulls (and complete crystal skeletons!) – is the driving background of this story, I don’t believe many living aliens show up at all. So if you’re worried that Indy is flying in UFOs or having laser battles, drop that out of your mind now.

In b4 indy piloting a flying saucer with russians hanging unto the side crashing through a tunnel.That sounds absurdly awesome. :lol
hmmm..Except this alien plot line has been the one used in every script since they tried to get the film off the ground since the mid 90's.
aliens and colonialistic undertones don't mix.
i suspect this is false.
yes, but every indiana jones has been infused with a racially paternalistic mindset, the unsophisticated natives taken advantage of by the worldy indiana.wait..what? How was Indiana Jones "racially paternalistic" in The Last Crusade? Or Raiders for that?
it's spielberg's way.
