DevelopmenteditIn 1. George Lucas wrote The Adventures of Indiana Smith. Like Star Wars, it was an opportunity to create a modern version of the movie serials of the 1. Lucas discussed the concept with Philip Kaufman, who worked with him for several weeks and decided upon the Ark of the Covenant as the Mac. Guffin. The project was stalled when Clint Eastwood hired Kaufman to write The Outlaw Josey Wales. In May 1. Lucas was in Maui, trying to escape the enormous success of Star Wars. His friend and colleague Steven Spielberg was also there, on vacation from work on Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Spielberg told Lucas he was interested in making a James Bond film, but Lucas told him of an idea better than James Bond, outlining the plot of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Spielberg loved it, calling it a James Bond film without the hardware,7 though he had the characters surname changed to Jones. Spielberg and Lucas made a deal with Paramount Pictures for five Indiana Jones films. Spielberg and Lucas aimed to make Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom much darker, because of their personal moods following their respective break ups and divorces. Lucas made the film a prequel as he did not want the Nazis to be the villains again. He had ideas regarding the Monkey King and a haunted castle, but eventually created the Sankara Stones. He hired Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz to write the script as he knew of their interest in Indian culture. The major scenes that were dropped from Raiders of the Lost Ark were included in this film an escape using a giant rolling gong as a shield, a fall out of a plane in a raft, and a mine cart chase. For the third film, Spielberg revisited the Monkey King and haunted castle concepts, before Lucas suggested the Holy Grail. Spielberg had previously rejected this as too ethereal, but then devised a father son story and decided that The Grail that everybody seeks could be a metaphor for a son seeking reconciliation with a father and a father seeking reconciliation with a son. Following the 1. 98. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Lucas let the series end as he felt he could not think of a good plot device to drive the next installment, and chose instead to produce The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, which explored the character in his early years. Ford played Indiana in one episode, narrating his adventures in 1. Chicago. When Lucas shot Fords role in December 1. Indiana set in the 1. The film could reflect a science fiction 1. B movie, with aliens as the plot device. Ford disliked the new angle, telling Lucas No way am I being in a Steve Spielberg movie like that. Spielberg himself, who depicted aliens in Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E. T. the Extra Terrestrial, resisted it. Lucas devised a story, which Jeb Stuart turned into a script from October 1. May 1. 99. 4. 1. 1 Lucas wanted Indiana to get married, which would allow Henry Jones Sr.
