Sekuyiminyaka engaba ngu-7 becabanga ngalolu daba. I-Indiana Jones IV futhi kusukela lapho akukho lutho ngaphandle amahemuhemu ngakho, mayelana nokuthi umbhalo uzobhalwa yini noma cha, mayelana nokuthi u-Indiana Jones uzoba nendodana yini ezothatha izintambo... Ngikhumbula ukuthi njalo lapho ngifunda isihloko sezindaba ngale ndaba, wayengitshela. "Manje yebo, manje kuzoba ne-Indiana Jones IV" kodwa ke lutho... injabulo yami emthonjeni. Manje njengoba iphrojekthi ishisa futhi kuyiqiniso ukuthi kulokhu kuzoba nefilimu, u-Indiana Jones akawasusi amahlebezi ngemvubu noma nganoma yini. Konke kungukuqagela okusiza ukugcina abalandeli besonqenqemeni nokugcina leyo mfihlo embi kakhulu futhi ejulile ekuthandeni okuningi.
Ezinye izindaba ngale ndaba seziqinisekisiwe, ezinye, nokho, zisantanta emoyeni. Okwamanje siyazi ngokuqinisekile UShia LaBeouf, ngemva kokuqagela okuningi kwangaphambilini, uzohlanganyela efilimini futhi adlale indodana yakhe, ezoba umfana ovukelayo. Kuthiwa, kuyaphawulwa, lokho UCate blanchet Kuzoba yimbi kakhulu yefilimu, nalokho Karen Allen uzophinda endimeni kaMarion Ravenwood futhi uzoba ngumama ka UShia LaBeouf. Emoyeni ukuhlanganyela kwe Sean Connery, naphezu kokuthi sebevele babala kuye lapho bebhala umbhalo. Mayelana nesihloko esizophathwa yilesi sitolimende sesine, kukhona ukukhetha, kuthiwa kungaba njalo Indiana Jones kanye neDolobha Lonkulunkulus, I-Indiana Jones kanye ne-Sun Kingdom, Indiana Jones kanye nabasebenzi bakaMose (Bengizohlala nabokuqala). Kuyafaneleka futhi ukubalula indaba yezinsuku, George Lucas Uthe i-trailer yokuqala izokhishwa ngoNovemba 22, 2007, Usuku Lokubonga, futhi ngokuqondene ne-Premiere yayo, ihlelelwe uMeyi 22, 2008 e-US.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, Spielberg uthi lesi sitolimende kuzoba esokugcina se-Indiana Jones... futhi ngicabanga ukuthi ngizokungabaza, u-Indiana Jones unobuso futhi lobo buso angeke kube obunye ngaphandle kobuka Harrison Ford, kodwa Ford Useneminyaka engu-64 ubudala futhi ngemva kwalesi sigameko u-Indy wethu ngeke esakwazi ukugijima ama-jogs amaningi, u-Indiana Jones akayena u-007 futhi ukushintsha umlingiswa okwamanje kungase kubadumaze abalandeli besaga, kodwa noma kunjalo. Angicabangi ukuthi lokhu kuphelela lapha... Angikholelwa ngokuphelele kuleso sitatimende ukuthi kuzoba okokugcina... uma kukhona abakwaziyo ukwenza kahle, kuwukuphusha amafilimu ngangokunokwenzeka, lapho bephumelele njenge-Indiana Jones, futhi bazame ukukhipha okuningi kubo ngangokunokwenzeka, becindezela ithonsi ngalinye lokugcina... angazi, angazi... ingabe uqinisekile Spielberg ngeke iwazise umqondo lowo UShia LaBeouf angakwazi ifa isigqoko nesiswebhu ukulandela ezinyathelweni "baba"?
Noma kunjalo... I-Indiana Jones IV kuze kube manje ayilutho ngaphandle kwenqwaba yamahemuhemu, asigcina siphapheme futhi asenza sizizwe sengathi basebenza kanzima kukho, okusenza siqaphele lowo mbono onethemba lokuthi ekugcineni imiphumela izoba isandla ukuphakama nokuthi ngeke kube ngenye indlela. Iqiniso liwukuthi kungase kube ngenye indlela, asethembe umphumela muhle, ngoba ngemva kokugwinya amanga amaningi kangaka futhi ngibekezelela imfihlakalo kuze kufike usuku lwe-Premiere, ngoba izoqhubeka kuze kube yilowo mzuzu wokugcina, engikufuna kancane eshiya i-cinema ngemva kokubona ifilimu, ehlala nobuso be-idiot futhi kufanele asho lokho ... "Kanti ngibala malini kulokhu?"
