The Complete Making of Indiana Jones by J.W. Rinzler

[Darklord Dave]

The Star Wars one is fascinating. Reading books like this makes you wonder how good movies EVER get made.

Indeed. Especially the original "Star Wars". That movie almost literally killed Lucas.

So, I guess there won't be a Hardcover version. Sucky.

Noooo!!!!!

It was going to look so nice next to the hardcover Star Wars one.

 

[Rogue Trooper]

Couldn't they come up with a better picture for the cover?

Got to agree, they could have used some of the cool poster artwork instead. i know you should'nt judge a book by its cover but it a little boring, still get it of course.

Yeah, that sucks. I have the other on order just incase but would have liked a HC one to go with my SW.

Isn't it a little unfair that Star Wars has gotten comprehensive "Making of" books for individual films (at least for III and IV so far,) yet, the making of all four Indy adventures are being crammed into one softcover volume? I would personally have been happier with a definitive volume on the making of ROTLA, alone. I'm still gonna pick it up.

No hardcover is disappointing.

It's a fantastic book. I do feel they've slightly neglected Phil Kaufman's role in the creation of Indy/ Raiders. I mean, Phil Kaufman even had a credit on Last Crusade, and I think he influenced the character more than we think - he was later due to make a film based on one of Talbot Mundy's Jimgrim stories, and I think he put a lot of Jimgrim into Indy. There's also a lot of archeaology in Jimgrim. But all round a great book, exactly what I wanted.

Was the HC discontinued?

The Hardcover version wasn't even solicited at all until this week. They duped us.

I agree with the Sean Young as Marion YIKES !!!!!

 

[Darth Madden]

Looks pretty cool. So is there actually a hardcover? Amazon.com doesn't list one yet.

It's there, but out of stock - https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Mak...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1212004352&sr=8-1

 

[Captain Britain]

Lots of HC's in the UK...

 

[Darth Caedus]

A real headshaker is how many studios turned down Raiders. You’ve got the two highest-grossing filmmakers, the guys who made Star Wars and Jaws collaborating on a joint project they know is a blockbuster, and studio execs say no. WTF! How dumb are some people?

 

[IronFingaz]

Just ordered the HC version from Amazon.uk

 

[IronFingaz]

Looks like Amazon.com removed the HC version
