We spun Marty G.’s latest story idea this morning, going back and forth on various notions as the room argued containment fields, points of science, and hot vs. cold air masses. The thematic shift of his story has turned out to be a good new/bad news situation for me. Good news: HE is now writing “A Very Special Stargate: Atlantis”. Bad news: He takes the #16 slot which means I’m writing #15 which will have to be ready to prep on the day we get back from our summer hiatus. It would be great to have a story locked some time before then, but it’s been mighty slow going. And I’m getting mighty anxious. By the way, best exchange of the day:

Brad: But that contradicts the laws of thermodynamics!

Martin: Laws are made to be broken!

After lunch, we watched the director’s cut of Whispers. It’s five and a half minutes long and much of that is going to come out of a bloated first act because once the fog moves in, thingsmoveveryquickly!

Speaking of Whispers, I received an email from Christina Cox (aka Major Anne Teldy) over the weekend who touched base to inform me she had a great time working on the show and was fighting the urge to order a case of Vosges peanut butter bonbons. She included a bunch ‘o pics from her time with us and kindly consented to my request to post them here. Check them out.

Frank Marshall: Keeping up with the Joneses



Frank Marshall has had a long career as both a producer (with films such as Signs, The Bourne Identity and Poltergeist) and director (helming the likes of Alive and Arachnophobia). He has now returned to produce the new Indy adventure, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. “It really did feel that we were just picking up where we left off all those years ago,” he tells David Grove.

What was it like to return to the Indiana Jones franchise after almost 20 years?

Steven said it was like getting back on a bike you loved to ride as a kid, and I think we all feel that way. It was also like a great reunion, with Harrison Ford and Karen Allen, and all us being back together. We’ve stayed in touch over the years, and there was the big DVD release a couple of years ago, but when we stepped onto the set in New Mexico for the first day of shooting it was a real blast from the past.

We were all in our 30s when we made Raiders of the Lost Ark and now we’re in our 60s, and our careers and lives have gone in all sorts of interesting and unexpected directions. So it was a real moving experience to be back together.

**snippage**

Would you say that Crystal Skull has a much stronger science fiction element than the previous movies?

Yes, there’s a strong science fiction element in the story. It’s key to the story, all in the context of the archeology and the supernatural-mystery elements that are a part of any Indiana Jones adventure. This is set in the 1950s, and George Lucas grew up in that period watching lots and lots of science fiction shows. Much like the serial adventure film defined the 1930s, the science fiction B-movies defined the 1950s, at least for George and Steven.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is released in UK and US cinemas on 22 May 2008.
