Subtitle Indiana.Jones.and.the.Temple.of.Doom.1...

If adventure has a name, it must be Indiana Jones. And if Indiana Jones appears in a fifth movie, it must be called "Indiana Jones 5." OK, OK, you got me: That's just how some folks will likely refer to the movie in shorthand, but the film did recently acquire a subtitle that follows the traditional "Indiana Jones and the [Insert Noun Here]" naming convention. It's officially called "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny." Questionable title, IMO, but let's hope the movie itself ends up outshining it in every possible way. Here's what we know about the sequel so far.

Indy is back at the Phenomena Experience and he's giving it his all with a marathon where you can see the original trilogy in 35 mm glory and in English with Spanish subtitles. 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' (1981), 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom' (1984) and 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' (1989) all appear on the silver screen in this special session where we get to relive the adventures of the most daring archaeologist in the world of cinema, created by Steven Spielberg and his pal George Lucas as an homage to the films where both directors discovered their first heroes.

Jeff Nathanson met with Spielberg and Lucas in August 2004 and turned in the next drafts in October and November 2005, titled The Atomic Ants. David Koepp continued on from there, giving his script the subtitle Destroyer of Worlds,[15] based on the J. Robert Oppenheimer quote. It was changed to Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, as Spielberg found it more inviting a title and actually named the plot device of the crystal skulls. Lucas insisted on the Kingdom part.[46] Koepp's "bright [title] idea" was Indiana Jones and the Son of Indiana Jones, and Spielberg had also considered having the title name the aliens as The Mysterians, but dropped that when he remembered that was another film's title.[26] Koepp collaborated with Raiders of the Lost Ark screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan on the film's "love dialogue."[8]

Before "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" was chosen as the subtitle for this movie, the original title on the original script was "Indiana Jones and the Saucer Men", because that was George Lucas' original choice for the title. He also had several other titles in mind, such as "Indiana Jones and the Attack of the Giant Ants". Steven Spielberg's wanted the movie to be called "Indiana Jones and the (blank blank) of the Mysterians", but he quickly gave up on that idea, to avoid confusion with The Mysterians (1957). Screenwriter David Koepp thought the movie should have been called "Indiana Jones and the Son of Indiana Jones". Eventually all three had settled on the movie's final title, with Lucas himself insisting on using the word "Kingdom" in the title, as opposed to "Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull".

There were no less than three major drafts written for this movie, before the final re-writes by David Koepp and Jeff Nathanson. The first draft was written in 1993 by Jeb Stuart (who was recommended to George Lucas by Harrison Ford while working on The Fugitive (1993)). It was sub-titled "Saucerman from Mars", and featured many plot elements used in this movie, including the Doomtown nuclear sequence, launch bay test fight, the jungle, Russian enemies, as well as Indiana getting married in the end to a fellow scientist called Dr. Molly. The second draft, written by Jeffrey Boam in 1995, simply called "Indy IV", had Indiana searching for Noah's Ark. Boam's draft contains elements that were used in the final movie, including having Marion back, Indiana having a son (called Abner, and was described as a geek), aliens, and the main object was a crystal skull. This draft could have been used, if the movie was released in 1996, but was shelved at that time, because, according to Steven Spielberg, of the release of Independence Day (1996), which also contained aliens. The third major draft by Frank Darabont, subtitled "City of Gods", was very similar to the final movie, with Marion in it, but also has Oxley in it, but removes Mutt. Steven Spielberg reportedly loved the script (according to Darabont he called it the greatest script he'd read since Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)), but Lucas rejected it for reasons not disclosed. Koepp looked at all of this movie's previous drafts, and kept what he felt were good ideas. He tried not to make his work a "fan script", avoiding any trivial references to the previous movies. He noted that the story would have to acknowledge Ford's and Jones' age, and also aimed for the mix of comedy and adventure from the first movie, trying to make it less dark than the second movie, and and yet less comic than the third movie. Plot elements from all three drafts were used for the final script.

VIDEO and AUDIOYou expect films as treasured as these to look terrific on Blu-ray and indeed they do. It sounds like Raiders has been treated to the most meticulous restoration, but all four look absolutely terrific. These stunning transfers find each frame clean, sharp, and vibrant. While certain shots and parts of frames look out of focus on the first three films, I have no doubt that is how they were shot and possibly intended.The 5.1 DTS-HD master audio soundtracks are equally delightful. The press release explains that Raiders makes use of its original master mix, which had been archived and untouched since 1981. Effects previously used in mono are now employed in the original stereo format in which they were recorded. The tracks boast depth, directionality, clarity, and precision. In picture and sound, the movies feel like they might have in opening day exhibitions only without any perceivable technical shortcomings. BONUS FEATURESThe only extras appearing on Discs 1 through 4 are the film's original theatrical trailers, presented in HD and without subtitles. Raiders has a teaser (1:03) the places it in the tradition of Jaws and Star Wars, a standard trailer (2:33), and a trailer from the 1983 reissue (1:45). Temple of Doom has a teaser (1:00) that announces the project and its settings and a standard trailer (1:26). Last Crusade is joined by a teaser (1:28) that offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at production along with a standard trailer (2:13). Crystal Skull is joined by three swell trailers, numbered 2 (1:54), 3 (1:57), and 4 (1:42). The obvious question -- where's #1? -- is one that was asked in 2008 and still isn't answered here.Beyond those, all extras are relegated to the set's bonus disc, Disc 5.Maintaining the emphasis on the original film, the set's one new addition is "On Set with Raiders of the Lost Ark" (57:53, HD). Randomly divided into two even parts (purely to run under a half-hour each), this documentary is composed primarily of production footage, which shows rather than tells. Showing us movie history in the making, this priceless footage goes through the film chronologically, the first half dealing with location shoots and the second moving to soundstages. It features a number of spruced-up deleted scenes (including a fairer fight against the desert swordsman), outtakes, and alternate takes. In addition, there are the occasional cast or crew remarks (like everything else, from 1980) as well as candid looks at Spielberg's direction, and things like fight and stunt choreography.Next, Making the Films holds five uncreatively titled standard definition documentaries, one for each movie and two for Raiders of the Lost Ark. Never released to DVD, the first "The Making of Raiders of the Lost Ark" (57:48) originates from 1981, a fact you can easily tell by its look. It places the film in the tradition of classic adventure cinema. There is a good deal of overlap with the new featurette's footage, but plenty of bits here are unused elsewhere. The piece moves logically, from finding locations to focusing quite a bit on stunts. In addition to narration, there are some interviews with principal cast and crew, who weigh in on location shooting. This program connects to other classic movies by the use of John Williams' Jaws score and "Colonel Bogey's March."The second "The Making of Raiders of the Lost Ark" (50:52) seems to come from the film's 2003 debut. It benefits from retrospection by Spielberg, Lucas, Ford, and other important players like Karen Allen, John Rhys-Davies, Alfred Molina, Paul Freeman, co-writer Lawrence Kasdan, director of photography Douglas Slocombe, and costume designer Deborah Nadoolman. Their reflections are complemented by still more production footage. This documentary covers all the appropriate topics, paying special notice to set pieces (snakes, the serpa fight) even sharing clips from screen tests of Tom Selleck and Sean Young and Karen Allen and Tim Matheson."The Making of The Temple of Doom" (41:09) also hails from 2003, though its retrospection is complemented by extensive use of production footage. It covers the story, the casting, finding locations, the sets, and shooting big set pieces, with plenty of time devoted to Harrison Ford's back injury and filming the bugs and bridge scenes. To the returning principals, we get reflections from Kate Capshaw (who recalls the criticism her character received), Jonathan Ke Quan, and Roshan Seth. The most interesting revelation may be Spielberg admitting it his least favorite of the original trilogy. Mine too, Steven. 041b061a72
