Re: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

I have the Frank Darabont draft. ” title=”Razz” />[/quote:28eezd8u]

Excellent! Have you read it yet?[/quote:28eezd8u]

I’ve glanced through it. Haven’t had time to read it in detail yet. But one thing is clear. It’s not the god of all Indy IV scripts that many have claimed it to be. In fact a lot of the stuff in the final film was carried over from this draft. including the "fridge" and the ants.

There are plenty of silly moments, some of the dialogue is just plain awful and it reads more like a fan script than a draft from a noted screenwriter.

In fact the only thing that I would say is better than what’s in the final film is that the aliens are more menacing. frankly, I can see why Lucas rejected the draft. There is just as much to complain about in this draft as there is in the final film.
