As you already know, the Paramount production offices relating to INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL experienced a break-in where thieves stole countless photography stills, computer files and various other items. As soon as this happened, the online press decided collectively not to play along with the thieves who will now be facing the consequences of such actions in prison. As a reward for not ruining anything related to the theft, director Steven Spielberg set an impromptu lunch meeting with a small group of local online reporters. While they weren't allowed on the set itself, they did get to see Harrison Ford and his fellow stars in full costume eating lunch, a surprise for the online press in attendance.
Some "official" confirmations from Spielberg:
-Filming will wrap up in 2 days.
-Russians are the villains with real Russian actors cast.
-They have the story ready for Transformers 2. Spielberg and Shia are ready but the impending strike is a factor in production & release timing of the sequel.
-They've had the "Crystal Skull" title for over a year.
-Shia and Harrison insisted on doing their own stunts.
-George Lucas was not a Second Unit Director but he was on set for 9 days and him and Steve will work together with the editing process.
