Features 'Indiana Jones' whips back to the big screen
By Chris James Staff writer It has been more than a decade since the last movie, but the sound of a whip cracking and the word archaeology still brings to mind the same name. Indiana Jones is a movie franchise that is over 20 years old but still one of the most popular action and adventure flicks in history. The third sequel, filmed recently and near release, will be based off of a movie done years ago. Rambo and Rocky Balboa have both made movies based on productions done over a decade ago. Freshman Jake Monroe is excited for the release of the new movie. "It’s a classic for the genre; everyone knows what it is," he said. "I think it’s beginning to become a trend to make sequels for the old movies. Rocky did it and so did Rambo." Lines are drawn that separate the good Dr. Jones and his allies from the Nazi enemies that are bent on world domination. The stereotypical story of the outnumbered and outgunned "good guys" prevailing because of intelligence and luck is something that writers know will keep an audience watching and waiting for more. Steven Spielberg has chosen to keep the plot a secret from the rest of the world, which will bring in a curious audience as well. Now 20 years after the last movie was released, fans eagerly wait for May 2008 when the new movie Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull hits theaters. This movie will bring back Harrison Ford as Jones and will have actor Shea LaBeouf as Mutt Williams, Jones’ new sidekick. "The movies are fun and Harrison Ford is an awesome actor," said freshman Cait Nicka. "I grew up on it, and everyone knows that it’s going to be good." With trailers for the movie beginning to appear in theaters around the country, it can be assumed that all the Indiana Jones fans will be going toward the same place on the eighteenth of May.
