Darabont on Indiana Jones rejection


Frank Darabont submitted a screenplay to George Lucas and Steven Spielberg for the fourth Indiana Jones picture. Although the script was rejected by Lucas, it appears that parts of it were still adapted for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Thus, will Darabont be named in the film’s credits? “Nope. Not on this one,” Darabont admits to MTV. “I know there are some common elements to what I gave Steven [Spielberg] and what was eventually shot, but I guess not enough to warrant credit. It’s clearly a disappointment, especially after Steven loved my script.” On possibly working with Lucas again, the director/scribe notes, “Honestly our storytelling sensibilities have diverged to the point where that would be a pointless exercise.”
