Behind the Scenes of the 4th Indiana Jones Movie

The fourth Indiana Jones movie, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, finds the college professor once again out of the classroom in search of a major archaeological discovery. Set in 1957, Indy's enemies this time around are a bunch of Russians led by Cate Blanchett in snappy attire and speaking with a Russian accent the likes of which hasn't been heard since the days of Bullwinkle. Their goal: find the hidden location of the crystal skulls. My goal: to give you some facts and figures on the Indiana Jones franchise you might not have known

Box Office Report - May 9-11

Use any racing metaphor you want to describe Speed Racer's box office performance - sputtered, stalled, ran out of gas, whatever - the truth is, the $100 million movie simply failed to inspire moviegoers to fork over their cash. While Speed Racer's $20 million first weekend was way below estimates, What Happens in Vegas' $20 million opening weekend exceeded expectations. Meanwhile Iron Man continues to draw in audiences, raking in $177 million since May 2nd. Next up: Those Narnia kids are back in Prince Caspian.

Steve Carell Gets Into the Action in Get Smart
 
While on the set of the Warner Bros Pictures’ action comedy Get Smart, The Office star Steve Carell admitted he’d never even dreamed of taking on a role like Maxwell Smart prior to being cast in the movie. “I never thought in a million years I’d be doing anything like this,” admitted Carell. “It’s crazy and just so much fun. I mean, I’m an action guy now so that’s going to be my new career path. I’m going to get really bulked up and just do action movies.”
