Here is a comprehensive documentary about one of the best movies of all time, Raiders of the Lost Ark.  It includes interviews, rare behind the scenes footage, and photos put together and details with a commentary track that by the looks of things, gives the extras on the DVDs a run for their money.

It’s a must-see for fans of the film or any nerd looking to make their own feature commentary/documentary about something near and dear to their heart.  This is the new standard, good luck.

It was created by Jamie Benning, check out his Vimeo page here and see his Star Wars videos too.

It’s a slow news day, can you tell?  Yesterday we shows you the 25 Greatest Unscripted Scenes in Film, today we have 25 Actors Before They Were Famous.  I didn’t know Daniel Craig was in A Kid in King Arthur’s Court, I did however know that Joseph Gordon-Levitt was on Roseanne because I’ve watched the series enough times.  Leonardo DiCaprio was on an episode in a non speaking role too [see].

Harrison Ford was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel last night to promote Cowboys & Aliens and ran into an old friend, Chewbacca.  There seems to be some unsettled issues from the pairs past, watch below to see what I’m talking about.  An interesting note: This episode of Jimmy Kimmel was directed by Jon Favreau.

A second trailer for Cowboys & Aliens premiered during American Idol last night, the Jon Favreau-directed sci-fi Western, starring Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford, opens July 29.  This is a revealing look, but doesn’t spoil.  If you saw the previous trailer and the Super Bowl spot, you’ve seen it.  Truth be told, I’ll see anything with Sam Rockwell, so I’m there for this one.  Enjoy.

Trailer: Cowboys & Aliens

Click for cowboy.

Keeping the unofficial ‘trailer day’ going here in the city, we now have a teaser trailer for Cowboys & Aliens. We had the first poster a few days ago, click to expand it on your left. This is Jon Favreau‘s follow-up to his Iron Man movies which is loosely based on the comic of the same name.

The cast is impressive as much as the folks behind the curtain (Spielberg, Howard, Grazer), we get Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Sam Rockwell, Olivia Wilde, Paul Dano and more.  Jump for the trailer and full synopsis.  The film will be released on July 29, 2011. (more…)

indiana jonesWhen Shia LaBeouf isn’t publicly badmouthing Indiana Jones, he is telling people that he’s been talking to Spielberg about a fifth Indiana Jones film, that the screenplay is being written, that Spielberg “pitched” the idea to him, and that it sounds “crazy” and “really cool.”

Crystal Skull made nearly $800 million worldwide and brought about lots of discussion about whether or not it was ever necessary (it wasn’t) and if it was any good (it was OK).  My thoughts on a fifth one are more or less the same; we don’t really need it (but I guess we have to see Mutt grow up) but it will probably be fun.  Lucas get your 3D digital effects ready big boy!  As a bonus, the video below will make you angry.  Do we need a 5th Indy Citizens?

Trailer: Harrison Ford In Morning Glory

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

Morning GloryWe have the movie trailer for the JJ Abrams/Bad Robot-produced comedy Morning Glory starring Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford, Diane Keaton, Patrick Wilson, and Jeff Goldblum.  They had me at Jeff Goldblum.

Synopsis:

TV producer Becky Fuller (McAdams) is fired from a local news program, her career begins to look as bleak as her love life. Stumbling into a job at “Daybreak” (the last–place national morning news show), Becky decides to revitalize the show by bringing on legendary TV anchor Mike Pomeroy (Ford). Unfortunately, Pomeroy refuses to cover morning show staples like celebrity gossip, weather, fashion and crafts – let alone work with his new co–host, Colleen Peck (Keaton), a former beauty queen and longtime morning show personality who is more than happy covering morning “news.” As Mike and Colleen clash, Becky’s blossoming love affair with fellow producer, Adam Bennett (Wilson) begins to unravel – and soon Becky is struggling to save her relationship, her reputation, her job and ultimately, the show itself.

Morning Glory hits theaters on November 12th 2010. (more…)

How Indy lost his Fedora.

I didn’t know what Cowboys & Aliens was until this news broke, I guess I should drop those Sweet Valley High books and pick up a graphic novel sometime.  So it goes, an extraterrestrial species lands in Arizona  in the mid-1800s. The aliens plan to quash the Wild West and enslave humanity, but the cowboys and native Apache have other plans.  Pfft, they are just pulling headlines from the paper now.  Jon Favreau (Director of Iron Man, and Pete Becker on Friends) is directing.

Robert Downey Jr. was initially in talks to star as Zeke Jackson, but the role has gone to Daniel Craig due to scheduling issues for Downey.  Today Favreau confirmed that Harrison Ford has been cast in the film.

Here is what he tweeted: @Jon_Favreau: Please stop asking if Harrison Ford is in Cowboys & Aliens. Okay? He is. Please don’t tell anybody.

More on the novel here.  What do you think about Ford involvement with the project?  And can we trust this tweet is from Jon?  What if one of his kids decided to mess with his laptop?
