Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a
2008 adventure film. It is the fourth film in the
Indiana Jones franchise, created by
George Lucas and directed by
Steven Spielberg. Released nineteen years after
the previous film, the film acknowledges its star
Harrison Ford's age by setting itself in 1957. It pays tribute to the
science fiction B-movies of the era, pitting
Indiana Jones against
Soviet agents – led by Irina Spalko (
Cate Blanchett) – for a psychic alien
crystal skull. Indiana is aided by his former lover
Marion Ravenwood (
Karen Allen) and their son
Mutt Williams (
Shia LaBeouf).
Ray Winstone,
John Hurt, and
Jim Broadbent are also part of the supporting cast.
The film languished in
development hell because Spielberg and Ford disagreed over Lucas' original concept, which featured a more overt focus on aliens. 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 various locations:
New Mexico;
New Haven,
Connecticut;
Hawaii;
Fresno,
California; and on 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.
