Hear me out: why Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull isn t a bad movie Luke Walpole
It’s a wonder we got a fourth Indiana Jones film at all. Though the deal struck by Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Paramount initially agreed to a five-film franchise, the fourth installment seemed unable to escape the purgatory of Hollywood development. Tom Stoppard and M Night Shyamalan, among others, were offered the opportunity to script, while previous titles pitched Henry Jones Jr alongside The City of Gods, The Atomic Ants and even The Son of Indiana Jones. Yet arrive it did, and the franchise is better for it.
