Eric Tan unveils Raiders artwork
As noticed by /Film, artist Eric Tan has crafted an exciting poster for Raiders of the Lost Ark, inspired by a retro propaganda style. For $150, one may own this beautiful piece of artwork, presented by Indiana Jones Shop as part of a new series of limited edition fine art lithographs by Acme Archives. “My idea here was to create something that looked as if it came out when the movie took place, circa 1936,” elaborates Tan. “I was heavily influenced by Mexican film posters from the 30’s & 40’s. They had that western/dramatic/action feel nailed down.”
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.”
