Spielberg was asked this weekend about a fifth "Indiana Jones".
The filmmaker said “It’s up to George. We have already
agreed on the genre of the fifth movie, we already have a concept
in mind. I don’t know where George is with the story. There
is no Indy 5 until George says there is.”

has released a new 'in production' featurette promoting the second
season of "Game of Thrones" including some first looks
at new faces that'll crop up next year.
Their latest
episode has been released to the world and other than possibly
alienating Twihards, Chris Reiff and Chris Gereke it is a great
show. Jason Tudor was definitely off his meds when he created
the opening sequence, which by the way, is damn funny and brilliant
as always.

Montreal, Indiana Jones™ and the Adventure of Archaeology:
The Exhibition Crosses the Ocean to the Príncipe Felipe
Science Museum – in Valencia, Spain!
X3 Productions, proudly announces that following the huge success
of its world premiere in Montréal, Indiana Jones™
and the Adventure of Archaeology: The Exhibition is heading
off to a prestigious destination for its European premiere. From
December 22, 2011 to September 16, 2012, the exhibition, presented
by National Geographic and created by the Montreal company in
collaboration with Lucasfilm Ltd., will take up residence at the
prestigious Príncipe Felipe Science Museum, in Valencia,
Spain. A spectacular forty thousand square metre interactive museum
featuring striking architectural design, the Museum is part of
the magnificent City of Arts and Sciences designed by Santiago
Calatrava and Félix Candela and in its ten years of existence,
has received 25 million visitors. The venue is considered to be
an international landmark and is part of a willingness by the
government authorities to represent the cultural dynamism of the
region.
“We’re delighted Indiana Jones and the Adventure
of Archaeology will have its European premier at the Príncipe
Felipe Science Museum in Valencia’s grand City of Arts and
Sciences cultural complex. Spain is a wonderful next chapter for
the tour and we look forward to the exhibit continuing to inspire
and engage visitors of all ages as it travels the world.”
says Lucasfilm Exhibits Manager Kyra Bowling.
International
presenter National Geographic is also enthusiastic to present
this exhibition in Spain: We are excited to take European audiences
on an exciting journey into the real world of archaeology,”
said Kathryn Keane, director of traveling exhibitions for National
Geographic. “This exhibition is a natural fit for National
Geographic, especially in Spain where we reach millions through
our four magazines, two television channels, book and home entertainment
partners and a Spanish website.”
A spectacular venue
The City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia is in fact five different
multi-functional venues: the Príncipe Felipe Science Museum
and also the Hemisfèric (which houses an IMAX theatre and
other digital projection rooms), the Umbracle (a space for vantage
view points), the Oceanográfico (which is the largest aquarium
in Europe) and the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía (a impressive
venue and Opera House). The Príncipe Felipe Science Museum
is a very prestigious venue for Indiana Jones and the Adventure
of Archaeology: The Exhibition. This architecturally impressive
state-of-the-art venue’s guiding principle - the expectation
that visitors will have more questions when they exit the building
than they had upon entering, make it an ideal setting for this
exhibition in which fact meets fiction. Henar Molinero, the City
of Arts and Sciences of Valencia manager says: ‘’This
exhibition is a unique opportunity for our visitors to learn in
a really appealing way how the mysteries of the ancient civilizations
are actually solved”. He also highlighted that both the
quality of the exhibit’s content and its careful design
share the same objectives of cultural and scientific dissemination
as the CAC.
A new museum experience
Launched in the summer of 2011 in Montreal, the world premiere
of the exhibition welcomed thousands of visitors, and critics
agreed that this exhibition is a great achievement and holds something
for everyone—fans of the famous archaeologist and neophytes
alike—as the content presented is rich and engaging. A creation
of Montreal’s own X3 Productions, this innovative and interactive
exhibition transports visitors into Indy’s universe while
shedding light on the true nature of field archaeology. The exhibition
designers conceived a truly unique educational environment in
which to showcase a wealth of historical and cultural artefacts
from the National Geographic Society and the Penn Museum. In a
setting that features the most extensive collection of Indiana
Jones concept art, props and models from the Lucasfilm Archives,
as well as remarkable real-world artefacts, visitors will experience
the amazing discoveries of modern-day archaeologists and unravel
the mysteries of legendary sites such as Machu Picchu and the
Nazca's geoglyphs in Peru, the fall of Cambodia's Angkor Wat civilization,
or the royal tombs in the ancient city of Ur (in modern Iraq),
just to name a few.
As visitors venture on to the “Indy Trail” in their
quest to explore other legendary places, they are accompanied
by a video companion that includes an original audio greeting
recorded by world-renowned actor Harrison Ford, welcoming them
on their journey. This interactive hand-held device provides comprehensive
educational content, photos and videos as it guides visitors along
the Trail and through various archaeological zones. Using this
device, kids of all ages are also invited to participate in their
own adventure in the form of an interactive quest!
Indiana
Jones and the Adventure of Archaeology – The Exhibition
will launch its European premiere in Valencia on December 22,
2011 and will run through September 16, 2012. For complete schedule,
