Karen Allen Interview: Raiders Of The Lost Ark 40th Anniversary
Joe Johnston's threequel is the most forgotten movie of the Jurassic Park franchise for various reasons . For one thing, it's by far the shortest and least star-studded entry and the story adds virtually nothing to the formula that fans couldn't get from the other movies even at the t
I got to know it in little bits and pieces, because I met Steven first in New York. He came to New York, and we just talked for 15 or 20 minutes. He didn't tell me much about the film, it was just considered Steven Spielberg's next project. And then about a week later, he sent me the scene in the Ravenwood bar. I read that scene, and he wanted me to fly to Los Angeles and audition - they actually wanted to do full-on screen tests - with two men who were possible Indiana Joneses. One was Tim Matheson, who I had worked with in the first film I'd ever done called Animal House. And another was a New York actor named John Shea, who I knew a little bit just from New York - which at the time felt like a very small actor community. My first connection to it was really just that one scene. And in that one scene, working on that one scene over and over again, I fell in love with the character. It's such a wonderful introduction to the character in the film, And then when they asked me to do the film, they sent me for the first time the whole script, so I got to read the script after they had made an offer to

During the iconic truck chase, Indy is launched through the windshield and left hanging from the front grill of the speeding vehicle. The driver puts his foot down so he can squish Indy into the back of Belloq’s car, so Indy has to climb under the truck. The practical stunts in this sequence are breathtak
Watching the movie again, what stood out to me is how you're barefoot for so much of the movie - including places that would really hurt in real life, like burning sand and rough rocks. How was that to film? Because that definitely looks like a challe
It's so cool that you got to know Marion doing the bar scene, because it's such an amazing introduction, and Marion is such a powerful character who really holds her own. And it was a level of characterization - if you compare it to Bond, which Indy was riffing on - that was head and shoulders above the others. How did you bring that energy and vibrance to the charac
When Indy gets back in the truck and throws the driver through the windshield, the driver tries and instantly fails to pull off the same impressive feat, making up one of Indiana Jones' best action sequenc
The last of the Jurassic Park movies with middling reviews was from Spielberg himself and centered on Jeff Goldblum's side character from the original movie, Dr. Ian Malcolm , as he travels to the previously-unexplored second island of the Park's prehistoric wo
Jumping off Harrison, you and he have such a great on-screen relationship with you playing the warped mirror of him. How was it working with him on set and creating this history? Because there's so much alluded to, but very little actually said in the scr
However, right outside the temple, his rival, Belloq, is waiting with a tribe of spear-wielding warriors. But Indy still doesn’t admit defeat there. He’s chased by the tribe all the way back to Jock’s seaplane and still manages to live to tell the t
