I seem to recall an interview with the producer saying how they were going to rely more on practical effects to capture the look of the other ones, I guess that's not going to happen.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-14-2008 06:32 PM                     Regardless of how old Harrison Ford is, he is still Indiana Jones and still one damn good actor. I REALLY HOPE there isn't bad George Lucas-style CGI in this! If they keep that crap out of this movie, then it should be a lot of fun.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 02-14-2008 07:26 PM                        I am looking forward to this as well, especially after being pleasantly surprised with Die Hard 4 and Rambo 4 (I still haven't seen Rocky 6... need to watch 2-5 first). I'm sure it will sound great, which is good news because I am a sound whore.  |  IP: Logged Mark Strube Master Film Handler Posts: 322 From: Milwaukee, WI, United States Registered: Feb 2007 posted 02-14-2008 07:38 PM                        Speaking of sound... both HD transfers that are currently online (Yahoo and at the official site) sound like ASS. (That's the technical term.) Someone screwed up in the transfer process and somehow managed to make it mono. Sweet.  |  IP: Logged Mike Schindler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1039 From: Oak Park, IL, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 02-14-2008 08:15 PM                     quote: Joe Redifer I still haven't seen Rocky 6... need to watch 2-5 first Strangely enough, the series actually works better if you skip those four.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 02-15-2008 09:22 AM                     Nah, watch III...even if it's just for the Hulk Hogan scene. As for the Indy 4 trailer...is there a single scene in it that does not have CGI??? WTF??? Mike, I remember the same blurb from SS. Back to the original. I guess Georgie is paying the bills, eh? Anyone know if there's a plan to re-release the others before-hand? With digital available it seems more possible, doesn't it?  |  IP: Logged Brian Guckian Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 594 From: Dublin, Ireland Registered: Apr 2003 posted 02-15-2008 10:20 AM                     Remember...CGI is cheaper, faster...  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

They did things properly then - proper bionic systems, not like the inferior stuff you get today  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 02-15-2008 11:01 AM                        If they load this up with crappy CGI it'll be a crime against, uh, something, not sure what, but a crime nonetheless.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 02-15-2008 11:24 AM                     Since it's a teaser, its possible the effects haven't been finished and tweaked yet but from what Isee on the video, it looks "meh". And did a I see a CGI Harrison Ford (it didn't really look liek a stunt double) swinging on his whip during one scene?  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 02-15-2008 01:32 PM                     In this film, I would love it if he said: "Its the years, not the milage!" It would bring things full-circle.

That's so hack-sounding. quote: John Wilson Anyone know if there's a plan to re-release the others before-hand? With digital available it seems more possible, doesn't it? I don't know if that's a good idea. Might make Harrison look just a little TOO old in the new one!  |  IP: Logged
