Exclusive: John Rhys-Davies Reveals He Would Love To Be In Indy V But Thinks The Offer Won't Come

On Friday I was fortunate enough to interview Indiana Jones star, John Rhys-Davies at Showmaster's London Film & Comic Con. He is such a friendly and down to earth gentleman and was only too happy to answer my questions. We only had a few minutes but I just had to get in one question on future Indiana Jones and whether he would love to see a return of Sallah in the series.

I have to ask the obvious question as we are a Spielberg website, what was it like working with Mr Spielberg?
I imagine it was like working with a young Mozart. The man is a genius. He is one of the greatest filmmakers we've ever had. He tells stories through pictures I think better than anyone has ever done.

With another Indiana Jones movie on the horizon would you consider returning to the franchise?
I would love too. I suspect, however that the politics of Hollywood have changed and are changing and I don't think the knock on the door will come. But if it did, and it was more than a wordless cameo, I'd be there.

Last question. It's an obvious question and I think I know the answer to this one, what is your favourite Steven Spielberg movie?
Oh! There are so many. How can you...How can you possibly differentiate? I mean I'm a fan of 1941, I'm a fan of those extraordinary war time films he did. But I know what you want me to say and in truth...Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Lets hope Hollywood does come knocking on Mr Rhys-Davies' door and offer him that perfect part. I'm sure you will agree with me that we would love to see Sallah return.

Right at the end I was able to get in my (weak) impression of Sallah and asked Mr Rhys-Davies to rate it out of ten. Of course being the perfect gentleman he is, he gave me a ten out of ten. You can catch my impression and the interview on the video below.

Big thanks to Showmasters for giving me the opportunity to interview Mr Rhys-Davies. The picture he is signing in the video could be yours in a competition coming up this week on The Bearded Trio.

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

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

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.
