Trivia
• Producer Frank Marshall stated that the film would be shot the same way as the previous three – with stunt men, and using CGI only when necessary. Before the film entered production Spielberg corroborated these claims, but during filming the decision was made to employ more CGI than had originally been anticipated.
• M. Night Shyamalan and Tom Stoppard were each asked to pen a draft of the screenplay.
• In 2002, high profile screenwriter Frank Darabont, who’d penned several episodes of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, was brought on board the project during what was probably the most publicized of the many failed attempts to find a screenplay for a fourth Indiana Jones film.
Darabont collaborated closely with Steven Spielberg for over a year, resulting in a script entitled “Indiana Jones and the City of Gods.” While Spielberg reportedly loved the script (according to Darabont he called it the greatest script he’d read since Raiders of the Lost Ark), George Lucas rejected the draft for reasons that were never disclosed, and the film was sent back to the drawing board once more.
