There are characters that people never tire of—James Bond…Batman…Winnie the Pooh. You can definitely include Indiana Jones on that list. We’ve covered a ton of indie Indy flicks on Fan Cinema Today, from the famous Mississippi trio that made a shot-for-shot remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark throughout the 1980s (which I wrote about [...]

March 10th, 2009 | Posted in Fan Film, Filmmaking, George Lucas, History, Indiana Jones, Mainstream Media, News, Review, Steven Spielberg

A while back, I wrote about Little Indiana Jones, which presented a pint-sized view of George Lucas and Steven Speilberg’s famed archeologist. It turns out that’s not the only kid-centric Indy flick out there—check out Indiana John and the Silver Platter, made by the Lund Family (and there’s a lot of Lunds—seven NINE kids!). Director [...]

Little Indiana Jones: A Mini-Epic Fan Film

January 20th, 2009 | Posted in Batman, Comic Books, Fan Film, Filmmaking, George Lucas, Indiana Jones, News, Public Screening, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Steven Spielberg, Writing

When it comes to Raiders of the Lost Ark sequels, you can find out what happened before it took place; what happened when Indy was considerably older; or what happened when he was really old. So what happened when he was only a little older—like maybe a week older? He got younger. At least that’s [...]

Indiana Jones: The Silent Serial Fan Film

Over the Memorial Day weekend of 1977, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg hung out on a beach in Hawaii, making sand castles and holding an impromptu filmmaker support group of sorts. Lucas was certain his new Sci-Fi epic, which had just opened that weekend, was about to flop, but Spielberg assured him he’d be fine. [...]
