#5. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal
Skull


Director:
Steven Spielberg
Writers: David Koepp

The Gist: Set in 1957, Indiana Jones is having a quiet life teaching before being thrust back into his old adventuring. He races against agents of the Soviet Union for the crystal skull.

Fact: Screenwriters Jeb Stuart, Jeffrey Boam, M. Night Shyamalan, Frank Darabont and Jeff Nathanson wrote drafts, before a script by David Koepp satisfied all three men in 2006.

See It: I can promise folks this: this will be a better nostalgic trip than the Star Wars stuff that came out.

Release Date/Status?: May 22nd. This might just become the top grossing film of all time.
