he magazine is 3 issues old
and we can now see one of
our principal ideas taking
shape. The idea of bringing our
community together and finding a
Cor way to better support those around
us.
Blimey! There is a perception that Indy gets
lost beneath the weight of Star Wars
and that we do not get the same
consideration when it comes to
developing the product.
Sometimes it feels that we are not
being heard.
People tend to forget the dark times
26
the Star Wars Fandom had to endure
after Jedi and how they built
themselves to be such an influential
community that Lucas began empire
building in the mid 90s.
A big part of this was keeping the
flame alive by ensuring that Star Wars
was not forgotten.
Indymag can help by supporting our
diversity in getting our voice heard at
different levels. If someone has had a
good experience with the magazine
they will pass that on to someone else.
Indymag is here for you and we
would hope that you will be there for
us.
Let’s get ourselves out there and
show some love for Indy and see
where it will take us.

Hope for a new Indy adventure
I f you think saving the world is easy, try doing it with a hangover.” So goes the tag
line for Raiders of the Lost Shaker of Salt, a genre-busting, groundbreaking parody
blend of the worlds of Indiana Jones and Jimmy Buffett’s tropically tipsy
Magaritaville. The web series will be shown on Margaritaville TV, a streaming internet
channel recently launched by Buffett and producer Frank Marshall of Indy franchise
fame. It is also featured in the documentary, Parrot Heads, which opens the film portion
of the South by Southwest multimedia festival and conference held in Austin, Texas in
March.
In this parallel universe Raiders we are
introduced to Indiana James, ruggedly dashing
Professor of Mixology at the New England
University of Mixology. One is almost tempted
to say “part time”, since Dr. James is often off
campus in pursuit of rare and mystical objects.
Here we find him traversing the globe hot on
the trail of the elusive Salt Shaker whose praises
were sung Buffett’s classic “Margaritaville”.
Seems the mysterious saline sprinkler may
possess strange powers, courtesy of the great
Tiki God himself. It is even rumored to contain
the Seven Deadly Sins.
I t may end up being a reality no matter how you feel. I know that’s a bitter pill to
swallow but just hear me out. I am one of those fans that have been around since the
beginning who grew up with the character and I still want more Harrison Ford!
Over the last few years of waiting for Indy 5 news I have started to wonder if it will
happen.
Now that Disney has the property I have been hoping for news any day of
production starting with Ford in the lead but alas nothing has come. In recent weeks
there are mounting rumors of a reboot with Chris Pratt being looked at for the lead
role...
...AND I SAY GOOD!
Now that may sound blasphemous and from what I have seen on the Facebook
groups that opinion sparks heated arguments. I believe it’s a waste of time
feuding over whether Indy will still be Ford or rebooted with a
new actor. None of our opinions will matter once the decision is
made. Ford’s not getting any younger and to be a viable franchise the
decision most likely will be reboot or Retcon with a younger actor to
ensure a future for the franchise. A disappointment, nonetheless but at least
we will get more Indy!
With that being said here is what I hope happens and why if Ford is
replaced I believe Chris Pratt would be a great choice.
F ree Ford to at least co-star in the new one to hand off the franchise in some
way. I hope Ford can grace the screen at least as bookend cameos ala
The Mystery of the Blues and pass the torch to the newcomer. Similar
to Nimoy in the new Star Treks. It needs to be a poignant role though as not to cheapen
his involvement. Similar to how Nimoy’s Spock shows up and is actually a pivotal part
to the story of the trek retcon/reboot.
O
f all the names being bounced around over the last year the top of the heap would
be Pratt in my opinion. He’s likable, down to earth, and is already excited to do
the role if offered. He is an every day normal guy and I believe that would
help smooth over the fans. Harrison’s vulnerable take on Indy would still be there with
Pratt as well as the humor. Pratt would probably bring more humor to the role and
with it being Disney plenty of it.

Pepe LeBeouf...
*Sigh* Putting together Shia LaBeouf and a 12 year
old girl cage dancing in your music video, you might
expect to see a few raised eyebrows. Which is exactly
what happened when Australian singer Sia enlisted
Pepe and the 12 year old for her Elastic Heart clip.
They are seen wearing nude, dirt-smeared outfits and
wrestling like animals in the Elastic Heart video, which
she insists is not intended to be sexual. Words, as usual, fail us
Derek Lyons...
“There are no small parts, only small actors." Never a
truer word spoken than of Mr Lyons. Formerly of IJLC
(he went on holiday rather than star in ROTLA. Doh!)
and Star Wars, Derek has etched out a career of
small TV parts propping up the background scenery
with his most recent appearance in Z-Listers as a
BBC producer.
Frank Marshall...
As much as he destroyed our dreams, you’ve got to
hand it to Frank for continually mentioning Indy
through his twitter account. Recently, Le Doctor
has retweeted a video about matte paintings in
Indiana Jones and Indiana Bones! In his spare time,
when not producing all the films in the world, he wins
awards like ACE's Golden Eddie Filmmaker Of
The Year.

vulgar and possible quite offensive film

Graham has a big passion for movie poster art, particularly
during the 60s, 70s and 80s and laments the fact that
illustration has been dropped in favor of photomontage.
Graham's skill is being able to employ a wide range of artistic
styles ranging from big foot, children’s illustrations to tight,
realistic work. Graham has been able to bring his skills to

In this feature we delve into the career of Karen Allen and in her own words,
describe the key moments in the creation of Marion Ravenwood.

“ Well, that's such a sweet scene in the film. I think it was one of the most lovely scenes that they wrote between
us after all that we'd been through in the course of the film for us to end up together it's so kind of perfect for
Indiana Jones. “Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch! Well, it doesn't hurt here” (points at lips), I actually quite love that
scene and as Marion was a bit aggravated that by the time she actually get to starting to kiss him he's like snoring. It's
like, “What?” I didn't really quite understand why they had written it that way but then you see it and it makes perfect
sense. I mean, a little funny aside is that I hadn't seen the film for many years and I was watching it a couple of years ago
and suddenly for the first time I noticed that when I wake up in that scene that I don't have my night gown on and that I
reach back behind me and grab the night gown, and it suddenly occurred to me, “Oh, you know, something actually went
