![]() Just cut them out of card stock or cardboard as indicated in the instructions, tape the pieces together, and cover them with just one layer of paper mache or paper mache clay. Most of these armature patterns create all the basic shapes for you. Plus, creating art together is a wonderful bonding experience that will be remembered for years. The kids and adults have a lot of fun, and they’re excited when they see how well their sculptures turn out. ![]() However, many children have helped their parents and grandparents create sculptures and masks using these patterns. Some of the patterns also require sharp knives for cutting cardboard. This is not the paper mache you remember from grade school!īecause they’re designed for adults, young kids probably won’t have enough patience to cut out the pattern pieces and tape them together. They will help you create sculptures or masks you can be proud of. Instead they remain lost forever, like the Ark of the Covenant in an enormous Army warehouse filled with unmarked crates.These downloadable patterns are designed for adults (thirteen or older). So not only did we lose out on a potentially great Indiana Jones sequel, we also missed out on other scripts Darabont might have written afterwards. It was just such an awful surprise, after all my hopes and effort.”ĭarabont also said that the failure of City of the Gods was “emotionally devastating” and called it a “main reason” he stopped doing work-for-hire writing gigs and began to focus entirely on projects he could control. He and George have been close friends for a long time, and they've had an agreement for years that no Indiana Jones film will ever get made unless they both completely agreed on the script. He wasn't in a position to overrule George, and wouldn't have overruled him even if he could. ![]() Steven and I looked like accident victims the day we got that call. “George Lucas read it, didn't like it, and threw ice water on the whole thing,” Darabont recalled. That's a quote, and I'll always treasure it.” He told me it was the best script he'd read since Raiders of the Lost Ark. Years later, Darabont said Spielberg “was ready to shoot it. Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods is a great script. So why didn’t Lucas, Spielberg, and Ford make it?Īccording to Darabont, Spielberg wanted to. Here are some of its most notable differences from the version that was made. Here are some of the most interesting differences between the two.Ī few years before Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was released, Frank Darabont wrote a very similar (but vastly superior) script called Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods. (You don’t have to be a crusading archaeologist to find it just Google the title and it comes right up.) What is fascinating about Darabont’s Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods screenplay is not just how good it is - and it is great – but how much better it is than Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (at least on paper) with an almost identical batch of story and thematic elements. To read this script, is to understand why. ![]() “ applied all my passion and skill, and gave a script that he loved,” Darabont later said. At Spielberg’s behest, Lucas tabled the project for a while.Įnter Darabont, who joined the movie in the early 2000s and, according to him, wound up spending an entire year of his life focused on crafting an Indiana Jones script while he “worked very closely with Steven Spielberg.” But then Independence Day opened in theaters, and stole the project’s thunder before it got off the ground. Those instructions lead, in 1995, to Jeb Stuart’s Indiana Jones and the Saucer Men From Mars script, which featured some of the same elements that wound up in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - including Indy surviving a nuclear bomb test by hiding inside a lead-lined refrigerator - but was much more directly about Indy combating aliens and flying saucers. Accordingly, while Lucas cycled through multiple co-writers on the project, he kept instructing them to return to the same batch of ideas: Indiana Jones battling Russians and encountering evidence of alien life amongst ancient civilizations. So he relocated the series from the 1930s to the 1950s, and decided that just as the original Indy trilogy borrowed from Saturday matinee action pictures, this fourth Indiana Jones would steal from the pulp fiction of the 1950s: Namely paranoid sci-fi movies about atomic horror and alien menaces.
