A Lara Croft Indiana Jones Crossover Was Pitched To Lucasfilm

Lego Indiana Jones and Lara Croft Crossover Was Pitched To Lucasfilm

Over on YouTube, there is a channel (GameHut) that has been created by founder of TT Games, Jon Burton. Now, gamers will be familiar with TT Games as they have brought us the fantastic Lego games such as Lego Batman, Lego Star Wars and Lego Indiana Jones.

What is interesting is in the video below, TT Games pitched an idea of creating a Lara Croft game but thought that it needed a bit more to it so decided to approach Lucasfilm with the idea of a Lara Croft/Indiana Jones crossover Lego game.

Thinking Lucasfilm would be enthusiastic about the idea, they had the opposite reaction. Apparently, Lucasfilm have never been happy with the creators of Lara Croft (Toby Gard/Eidos.) In the video, Jon Burton said that Lucasfilm thought Lara was too similar to their hero with the whip and hat, Indiana Jones and going as far as claiming they "stole" their idea. The concept was shot down immediately and we never got that crossover. Toby Gard, creator of Lara Croft has said in numerous interviews that one of the influences for his creation was indeed Indiana Jones but also Tank Girl and the John Woo films.

What do you think? Do you think a Lego Lara Croft from Tomb Raider and Indiana Jones would have worked?

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.
