Indiana Jones AppearancesSince his introduction in 1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark, the character of Indiana Jones has become a cultural icon for adventure. His popularity has allowed him to make appearances in two more feature films, a three-season TV series, dozens of novels, comic books, and video games, and even his own amusement park ride.The popular trilogy of theatrical films: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, were made from 1981–1989, created by George Lucas and directed by Steven Spielberg. The series starred Harrison Ford as Jones. The television series, The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, aired from 1992 to 1996, with the 17-year-old Indy played by Sean Patrick Flanery, 93-year-old Indy by George Hall, and 10-year-old Indy by Corey Carrier. This inspired a number of made-for-TV and made-for-video movies featuring Flanery as young Indy. One of the last Young Indiana Jones TV movies featured a cameo appearance by Harrison Ford, reprising the role of Indy as a man in his 50s. The show ran for 44 episodes, with each pairing of episodes forming a feature-length TV film. The stories spanned from Indy’s childhood travels with his father (who was on, what seemed, one continuous Medieval studies lecture tour) to the solo journeys of his youth and even into World War I. Every episode began with a 93-year-old Indy, a grey-haired professor, talking about one of his old childhood adventures. The upcoming fourth Indiana Jones movie, is in an advanced stage of pre-production, and is currently scheduled to be filmed in June 2007 for a May 2008 release. According to the IMDB, the new movie was jokingly named "Indiana Jones and the Ravages of Time" and is rumored to feature characters from previous movies, including Marion Ravenwood and Henry Jones Sr. Jim Ward, Vice President of Lucasfilm, has said in a recent press conference that a new Indiana Jones video game is expected that same year, around the time of the movie. John Williams has also stated in the DVD's of the Indiana Jones Trilogy and at George Lucas's AFI's Lifetime Achievement Award ceremony, that he is willing to return and compose the music for the fourth film. |
