Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a
2008 adventure film directed by
Steven Spielberg and
executive produced and co-written by
George Lucas. The film pits
Indiana Jones (
Harrison Ford) against agents of the
Soviet Union, led by Irina Spalko (
Cate Blanchett), in the search for a
crystal skull. Indy is aided by his former lover
Marion Ravenwood (
Karen Allen), the
greaser Mutt Williams (
Shia LaBeouf), and fellow adventurer George "Mac" McHale (
Ray Winstone).
John Hurt and
Jim Broadbent also play fellow academics.
The film was in development since the
1989 release of
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, because Spielberg and Ford disagreed over Lucas' original concept. Screenwriters
Jeb Stuart,
Jeffrey Boam,
Frank Darabont and
Jeff Nathanson wrote drafts, before
David Koepp's script satisfied all three men. Shooting began on June 18, 2007, and took place in
New Mexico;
New Haven,
Connecticut;
Hawaii;
Fresno,
California; and soundstages in
Los Angeles. To keep aesthetic continuity with the previous films, the crew relied on traditional stunt work instead of computer-generated stunt doubles, and
cinematographer Janusz Kamiński studied
Douglas Slocombe's style from the previous films.
Marketing relied heavily on the public's nostalgia for the series, with products taking inspiration from all four films. Anticipation for the film was heightened by secrecy, which resulted in a legal dispute over an extra violating his
non-disclosure agreement, and the arrest of another man for stealing a computer containing various documents related to the production.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was released worldwide on May 22, 2008.
