Brainstorming the first Indy flick - a transcript
The "Raiders" story conference
Just scanning through these '10 screenwriting lessons' derived from Lucas et al's 5 day brainstorm. Not sure I'll ever plug through the whole thing, but this is a tasty little insight in its own right :) *EDIT* Here are the transcripts. (And for the record, I totally did read them all in the end ;) Really fascinating stuff, and the cinephilia on display is just immense!) |
Re: Brainstorming the first Indy flick - a transcript
Hmm, thought this might cause more of a flutter.
No opinions on Indy being a pedophile? ;) Thought some of the interesting lessons the commentator draws out are:
(I've skimmed some of the early stuff from the full transcript - there's some nice bits in there on the evolution of the opening scenes - betrayals, traps etc. Still doubt i'll go through it all tho ;)) |
Re: Brainstorming the first Indy flick - a transcript
Sorry, I missed this before. Great link. The Indy/Marion stuff is kinda weird, and I'm glad they left it ambiguous.
I'm gonna have to think about reading the entire transcript, but the Cliff's Notes version on that blog is riveting, fascinating stuff. I hope we see more stuff like this about other classic films. |
Re: Brainstorming the first Indy flick - a transcript
Oh cool! I am very interested in this. Thanks Tom!
Hope all is well, good sir! |

Yet like they say, from a scriptwriting point of view, it gives both of them instant backstory, defining their characters and colouring some of their current actions really efficiently etc. Natural, dramatic 'exposition'. Interesting what they say about bad guy actions only being truly picked up on and held against the character if they happen on screen. Not entirely sure about that, but makes a kind of sense. We don't always judge on hearsay - we wait and see if people live up to their reputation etc The transcript itself is kinda fun - the only really trying bit is you know how it ends ;). Fun to see the distinct style of Lucas & Spielberg - GL chuntering away like mad, with Spiely constructively spiking his bubble, or determinedly muscling in when he's on topics he's pre-thought about.

This was so interesting to read! I'm glad they didn't take the Early romance part of it any further than they did in the film too. I think what they are discussing here would've been too much. It's so cool to see what they were thinking when they created these awesome characters. Thanks for the post!!
