Never trust a Russian.
Tyler Nelson, a ballet dancer who worked on the newly-christened Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull recently leaked out several key plot points of the film.
Even more asinine than totally jeopardizing his young career (Nelson is 24) is that he spilled all of these juicy details to his local paper - not a big-budget rag. At the very least Nelson could’ve paid his way through infamy; now he’s just another out of work actor.
Anyhoo, how about those plot points?
Read the leaked plot points of Indy 4 (with a breakdown of each one) after the jump.
SPOILER ALERT:
The main story in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull consists of - you guessed it - Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) racing against the Soviet army to obtain a crystal skull located deep in the South American jungle.
Typical Indy fare, which is a relief. One can also assume that each party (Team Indy vs. The Soviets) has polar motives, Indy’s being to preserve the precious skull in a museum; the Soviets for eternal power…or something like that.
Indy’s family - his son, played by Shia LaBeouf and his former flame/son’s mom, played by Karen Allen - are threatened by the Russians after Indy is captured.
No surprise, yet again. The Indiana Jones series’ hallmark is busting-out-of-jail-cells-in-the-nick-of-time-to-save-loved-ones (see: every Indy flick). Expect some rousing music to spike up when Indy lays his first punch on Soviet skin.
When Indy is interrogated by the Russians, he is interrogated by none other than Cate Blanchett.
Yeah! This should be fun: Blanchett is a sexy, seasoned vet playing - most likely, considering - an icy vixen that turns Indy on even through death threats to his loved ones. A well-placed kiss would be in order, methinks.
Also leaked was, of course, Nelson’s scene:
Once Indy is captured by the Soviets a celebration takes place, with music, dancing and other larger-than-life fanfare.
Following the Indy handbook to the T, are we Spielberg? This scene will reportedly be cut substantially by Spielberg’s order after the blabbing ballet dancer f***ed with his movie.
