    I'm not sure I've seen her in anything before. Hopefully she crushes it as she seems to be taking on a major role here.

    Nice new pic. It seems that Helena is a bit of a screwball, con-woman type. Sounds fun.

    I agree that she does look incredible. Phoebe has written and headlined a few TV shows, including NTTD for us. I wonder if she had a hand in the screenplay for Indy 5.

    Waller-Bridge sort of looks like Eva Green.

    It hasn't been mentioned if she has, but I guess scripts get polished all the time and the persons responsible don't get credited. Last Crusade had its script worked over by Tom Stoppard no less, and apparently he was responsible for making that script really work (Spielberg said he wrote pretty much every line of dialogue, and it's packed full of classic lines). Hopefully they've got this one just right too- I think an Indy film really needs a deft script.

    Is time travel really that far fetched with the miraculous stuff we’ve seen in all the other movies? I’m open to it if done well. Happy that the Nazis are returning, officially making all the odd numbered Indy films the ones with them and Sallah. Other than the supposed leaked ending, I think the rest has been reason for excitement.

    Exactly. We had the Ark that melted faces. A bloodthirsty cult in which the leader literally was ripping hearts out. The Holy Grail that turns folks to dust by drinking the wrong one and aliens.

    But yes, time travel is where it's going to far🙃

    I'm in the minority of enjoying Crystal Skull and I think that plotline is as far fetched as an Indiana Jones plot could go.

    I'm reading this just a little too late but I can subscribe to every single line of it.

    Agreed. I knew about her script involvement for NTTD but never knew she was also an actress.l

    She's very good, especially deft at comedy, as shown in her own show Fleabag (which also mixes in a good amount of drama too). I have no worries about her performance in this.

    I'm looking forward to her and Harrison doing press as well.

    Yeah I've only heard amazing things about Fleabag but haven't seen anything from it yet.

    She also wrote the first season of Killing Eve, which was amazing…
    +Fleabag is hilarious…
    This woman is gold.. However I dont think she helped writing on the script…she polished the female roles for NTTD, which was what I heard…they should definitly give her a try for a full script…

    Incidentally I found this rather good breakdown of the additions and changes Stoppard made to the Last Crusade script. It's very interesting and clear how much value he added.

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lYCyyI3DeJPW9-Md-G-SlyXCqyGY9iMwSEyfzjHFeOs/edit#gid=0

    This is a bit of a précis of it.

    He should have been credited with the screenplay.

    Yes, but it seems that's not how script doctoring works a lot of the time. I don't really understand the crediting process.

    It's interesting that apparently some of the ideas in the earlier script came from, among others, Sean Connery.

    Part of the reason is that Stoppard would then have to be paid additional royalties.

    And in some cases, writers might get offended at having to split their check with someone who just inserted some gags and edits into their script. Not that this is always the case, of course.

    So typically script doctors tend to get paid a very large fee (sometimes even more than the original writer) in one lump sum, slightly 'under the table'.

    The rule of thumb with who gets credited with what on a movie is almost always "what will cause the studio the least amount of headaches with their creatives and the film guilds?"

    It’s actually the same costume designer, amazingly.

    When it comes to a title, If they continue what has already been established , it will contain an object or location related to the quest. So far we’ve had an Ark. a Temple, a Grail and a Skull.

    The grail wasn’t in the title though. As you say, the titles usually have a location as the main subject of the phrase (two of them), the quest itself (one of them) or the people going on the quest (one of them) - I’m ignoring the ‘Indiana Jones and the..’ bit obviously!
    So any title which says just Indiana Jones and the Spear or Destiny or whatever doesn’t really fit the pattern we’ve had previously. It’s a bit dull if it’s just an object, more dynamic if it’s a dangerous place to go to or an actual quest or activity.

    I'd be surprised if "Quest" isn't in the title at this point, considering its prominence in all the materials so far.

    Just a hunch, but it hasn't been in any of the titles so far and it fits Indiana Jones nicely.

    Lol, I had a brain hiccup.
