Features
Frank Marshall & Ben Burtt
We catch up with Frank Marshall, one of Hollywood’s most successful and prolific producers, ahead of the DVD release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. He shares his thoughts on the movie and reflects on its success, and makes a hint or two about what the future might hold for the Indy franchise. Plus, sound designer extraordinaire Ben Burtt tells all about his award-winning work in the Indiana Jones movies – from the first crack of Indy’s whip in Raiders to the amazing aural whirlwind as the Crystal Skull creatures return to the fourth dimension.
The making of Raiders
Raiders of the Lost Ark producer Robert Watts reveals the story behind the making of a movie classic. Having previously made two James Bond movies, Watts was no stranger to action and adventure, and Raiders marked the start of a three-film association with the “man in the hat.” On the script’s appeal, Watts says: “It’s a film that is filled with energy, from the opening shot when we establish the dissolve from the Paramount mountain to the end. I had a good feeling about it. I knew Spielberg was brilliant with this kind of stuff.”
