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


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.

This makes potions and other recovery items much more potent, mitigating the downsides of the Cursed Doll Engravings alongside other regen-reducing effects.

It would be in a Cancer's nature to elevate a silly misunderstanding into a lifelong fight to the death, but that's exactly why the crab doesn't enjoy The Duellists. It's too much like real life and the Cancer prefers fantasy to real


**That's fantastic. Going back to the start, what was your first impression of Raiders when you were talking to the producers about doing it? Because it's very Lucas and Spielberg as a story, but it's also unlike what they'd been doing previously. What was your first impression of the movie and of Marion as well


Gorgeous clothes, amazing interpersonal drama, all told in a time and place that has been relatively forgotten in western cinema. Cancers love creativity, so before Medieval Europe or wartime Europe sucks all of the historical air out of the room, check out Lust, Caution , and learn something about war and espionage in 20th century Ch


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


With explosive cinematography and action-driven storytelling and characters who never have to worry about reloading, John Woo has become arguably the most revered action filmmaker in the world. After making a few movies that glorified gangsters, Woo decided to make a movie that glorified the pol


The character is said to be returning in a new sequel which could be a good idea of a bad idea.
