UPDATE - This is what happens when you piss off the two most powerful bearded men in Hollywood. Links, like the two below to the Edmond Sun and AICN, just disappear...
Quite frequently I get asked for advice on how to break into the movie business. Whether it be through writing, acting or directing, people want to know how to make their mark. I suppose my first piece of advice today would be to NOT break your non-disclosure contract by revealing several closely guarded secrets of a blockbuster Steven Spielberg film. That's probably not going to win you any points in Hollywood. But lucky for us, I suppose, someone did exactly that and now we know a little more about INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL. Tyler Nelson got a feature article in the local Oklahoma newspaper where his parents live. The whole town was excited that one of theirs was starring in a big Hollywood movie. So they asked Nelson what it was like filming INDIANA JONES. And he told them. Boy, did he tell them. Should you be averse to spoilers, you might want to avert your eyes...
- He confirms that Cate Blanchett will be playing a Russian interrogator
- Why need a Russian interrogator? Seems the Russian army is looking for a crystal skull. Who finds it first? Indiana Jones. Hence an interrogator.
- Blanchett doesn't sound very warm and cozy. Tyler says Jones is "strapped in a chair" being questioned about the whereabouts of the skull. Sadly, he caves in.
- He caves?! That's not the Indy I know! Well it turns out Blanchett gives Jones the ultimatum, tell us where the skull is or we'll....
OK, I can't bear to reveal any more spoilers. If you must, you can click here to head to the Edmond Sun to read all about Nelson's first (and likely last) big Hollywood experience. Thanks to AICN for the heads up.
Extra Tidbit:
Nelson was selected for the role because of his experience with Russian dance.
