Remembering Marcus Brody.

By

He was born on this day, May 31st in 1922, in London, England and his acting career, with roles in over 150 films and TV-series, spanned over 40 years, but we will (probably) always remember him als Indiana Jones' boss: the slightly unworldly (?) Marcus Brody.
Raiders of the Lost Ark

 He portrayed the character of Marcus Brody in only two of the four Indiana Jones features, but he was present in spirit in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: Spielberg didn't want to recast the character, so the passing of Marcus is mentioned several times throughout the film, a portrait of Marcus is hanging outside of Indy's classroom, a statuette of him can be seen in a University courtyard and a maltshop in the film is named 'Brody's'.

Denholm died on October 6th, 1992 in Ibiza, as a result of AIDS.

The last film he acted in was the Amblin production of Peter Bogdanoviches screwball comedy Noises Off, that premiered in March of 1992

    So, does this mean that Marcus Brody won't be in Indiana Jones 5?

Did Paul Freeman Accidentally Eat A Fly In Raiders of the Lost Ark?

By
The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene.  Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in  Raiders of the Lost Ark ?  It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark.  Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming.  I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com  and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th

Pinewood Studios To Expand To The Usa

By
BBC News have reported that Pinewood Studios are to expand to the USA.  This is great news for the famous studio that is rich in movie history. UK film studio Pinewood Shepperton has announced plans to build its first sound stages in the United States. The Pinewood Atlanta complex will be built on 288 acres of land south of Atlanta, Georgia, as a joint venture with a US investment company. Georgia has been among the US states drawing film-making away from Hollywood with tax incentives in recent years. The deal is the latest sign of expansion at Pinewood, the home of the James Bond franchise. Earlier this month it announced a joint venture with a Chinese media group, potentially giving it access to the fast-growing Chinese market. Read the full article here.
