Fourth Indiana Jones Film to Premiere in ‘08.
Posted by Johnny Mercedes Categories: Paramount, Action, Adventure, Filmmaking, Rumors, Scripts, Upcoming Releases,
It’s the announcement moviegoers have been waiting for – the fourth ‘Indy’ installment is definitely coming, Harrison, George, and Steven will be in their respective roles, and it’s all happening in the near future. Before now, the will was there, along with the talent, but no official statement had been made regarding the film. The script, which spent over ten years in development, has finally been completed and greenlit by the mighty triumvirate and “is going to be the best one yet,” according to Lucas. Ford and Spielberg have also expressed great joy and excitement about the project, claiming that fans should expect a story that delivers on the same level as the first three.
Although many of the film’s details remain under wraps – including the official title, locations, and plot – the hype and public extolment from the people who best know the series are enough to excite even the most doubtful of naysayers. The fourth chapter in the series will begin shooting sometime later this year. Look for any updates on casting, plot, or official release right here on FilmCrunch.

The Pursuit of Happyness Review
Posted by Johnny Mercedes Categories: Columbia Pictures, Sony, Drama, New Releases, Theatrical Reviews,
Chris Gardner (Will Smith) is a gifted, but struggling salesman trying to raise a family and make a decent living in 1980s San Francisco. One fateful day, he stumbles upon an unpaid internship opportunity at a successful stock brokerage firm, and applies, hoping to start a new life for his family. When the daily strain becomes too much to bear, his unhappy wife, Linda (Thandie Newton), decides to seek her own future, leaving Gardner to care for their five-year-old son Christopher (Jaden Smith). Unable to pay the bills on his marginal income, the two are forced to live on the streets, finding shelter in subway bathrooms and homeless shelters. Inspired by a true story, The Pursuit of Happyness is a reflective and poignant rags–to–riches story that, while embellished for dramatic effect, displays what one can do with enough diligence and determination.
The Pursuit of Happyness is directed by Gabriele Muccino and written by Steven Conrad. Rated PG–13.

The actor possibly best known for his role as the grotesque, but comical creation in Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein died Tuesday after a long struggle with multiple myloma and heart disease. Boyle, who more recently played Frank Barone on the long-running sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond, had a notable career in both film and television, for which he received much praise and an Emmy in 1996. No stranger to health problems – he suffered a stroke in 1990 and a heart attack in 1999 – Boyle always bounced back and returned to work, playing his range of grumpy, charming, and comical men.
We’ll sure miss Boyle here at FilmCrunch. He was always a familiar, friendly face to see on screen and indicated a performance worth watching. We’ll always remember his amusingly realistic portrayal of the angry and confused, yet sensitive monster in Young Frankenstein, helping make it one of the greatest comedies of all time.
