Indiana Jones 4
Script Plot Summary Synopsis Story

George Lucas and David Koepp
SuperShadow has a copy of the final version of the Indiana Jones 4 script written by David Koepp (story idea by George Lucas). However, at this time, Lucas and Steven Spielberg (the director of Indiana Jones 4) have not given permission for SS to reveal the entire Indiana Jones 4 script. Instead, Lucas and Spielberg are permitting SS to talk about certain plot elements that will appear in the new Indiana Jones movie. Expect to see an official summary of the Indiana Jones 4 script and the full Indiana Jones 4 script later on.
1) Indiana Jones 4 begins with the Paramount Studios "mountain" logo fading into a similarly shaped object from the film. This is the way the previous three Indiana Jones movies have opened. (SuperShadow: They came up with an inventive way to work the Paramount logo into the film. Very imaginative.)
2) Indiana Jones is in the middle of the search for a precious historical object similar to the South American Golden Idol, Lao She's Ashes and the Cross of Coronado. (SuperShadow: Wow. That's all I can say. This is probably the best opening action sequence I've ever seen from a Steven Spielberg film. It shows why David Koepp is one of the best screen writers around. Pure breath taking all the way. I can't wait to reveal what happens. I love the way this film opens. The movie shows much promise at this point.)
3) Indiana Jones retrieves the object, then loses it to the villains. (SuperShadow: It's actually hilarious how Indiana Jones loses the artifact this time around. Kudos to Koepp and Lucas for coming up with this clever twist.)
4) Takes a plane with and meets beautiful woman (previously Marion in Nepal, Willie in Shanghai and Elsa in Venice). (SuperShadow: This time around Indiana Jones heads to one of the most exotic places on Earth. Great choice in my opinion. The stunning woman is described in the Indiana Jones 4 script as having the beauty of a super model, the mental toughness of a U.S. Army Special Forces commando and the physical prowess of a Ninja. I look forward to seeing this actress. She'll be one of the highlights of the entire film. I especially like the city chosen this time around. Lucas never runs out of great ideas.)
5) After/during plane trip, they are sabotaged/attacked, get information on mission/clue, sidetrack to new destination with large old building(s). (SuperShadow: These action sequences are beyond belief. Total adrenaline rush all the way. It's like something written by the fans for the fans. Not even I could come up with a more ingenious set up for the rest of the movie. You can really tell how they have all developed the Indiana Jones 4 script very well. You can see why it has taken over a decade to finish the Indiana Jones 4 script.)
6) Woman is captured at some point. (SuperShadow: She doesn't go down without a fight. She seems tougher than Indiana Jones himself. Of course, she is a lot younger than Harrison Ford.)
7) Indiana Jones 4 showcases phobia-inducing animal/creature. (SuperShadow: I couldn't stop laughing at this one. This is one of the most brillant aspects of the Indiana Jones 4 script. I can't believe they thought this up. We've seen snakes, insects and rats in previous Indiana Jones movies and now this. Awesome stuff. So far this is by far the best Indiana Jones movie ever. Fantastic script.)
8) Indiana Jones 4 showcases large-scale action sequence with special vehicle with Indiana Jones special twist. (SuperShadow: This is the most ambitious action sequence dreamed up so far by the writers. This will cost multiple millions of dollars. I'm surprised Lucas would allow for something this grandiose. I can't imagine how Harrison Ford is going to be able to pull this off. He's an ancient man. I expect this scene to feature a digitally-animated Indiana Jones with tons of additional work by the stunt men. I hope they can pull this off because it is mega wicked on paper.)
9) After the artifact is found, it destroys the villain(s). (SuperShadow: I really like the choice of bad guys this time around. They seem really nasty and a foe very worthy of challenging Indiana Jones. You won't believe how the villains get smoked this time around. Very witty and humorous at the same time. David Koepp really earned his money for writing the Indiana Jones 4 script.)
10) Indiana Jones 4 features a scene involving a cave. (SuperShadow: This whole script is quite impressive. It may have taken over ten years to get an Indiana Jones 4 script to meet the approval of all three primary participants (Lucas, Spielberg and Harrison Ford), but this is well worth the wait. Bring on May 2008. This film will earn over $ 350 million dollars in North America with another $ 450 million earned overseas. Indiana Jones couldn't go out on a higher note. Special thanks to Lucas and Spielberg for giving me access to the entire Indiana Jones 4 script. I look forward to posting this script soon on SuperShadow.com.)
