How will the studio logo transition into the film without paramount logo?


this is the only indy film to not be released by paramount, correct? All the other movies had a transition from the paramount mountain logo to something that opens the film. What will the dial of destiny do to keep this transition intro going?

Raiders: Mountain
Temple: Gong
Crusade: Rock formation
Skull: Gopher Hill
Dial: ??

Disney Castle - Nazi Castle

Ooh good one. So no more mountain-esque transition?

reply

Not unless Disney want to showcase the Paramount logo

If Iger would approve that, he will get my ticket! But Disney only shows their unit nowadays, which would be in this case LucasFilm. So more likely an address and direct reference to George Lucas. Alternatively something like they did with Indiana Jones 3 Adventure for the PC. Here a train moves through the LucasFilm Logo and it transition to the circus train.

Good idea ..

Boy that would be a bold move that would carry me over any rough patches in the film.

Perfect! A 1969 Paramount movie. Just show that logo...

reply

It will zoom in on the train behind Disney logo. Because...

1. Trailers keep showing a scene of young Indy on a train.

2. News from the director confirm the open scene is set in WW2.

3. Disney logo has a train in the background.

reply

Good idea, they could feature the actual Schloss Neuschwanstein, the castle which inspired the logo. Still, I would give Iger one extra view for that movie, if its the actual Nazi castle.

I have to keep myself from unleashing a torrent of sarcasm in your general direction.

Why do people focus on this kind of things? It's like catchphrases, tropes, 'expected things' are more important than actually good story, good movie, good storytelling, good worldbuilding.. NO WONDER hollyweird gets away from pushing the stupidest trash in people's faces.

Which movie would you rather watch?

1) Crap movie with logo done exactly as in every Indy movie opening
2) Excellent movie without anything done with the logo

I mean, what's wrong with people when they focus on this kind of things as if they're the most important points they can think of? Didn't the fourth movie begin 'properly', and yet it was trash anyway? Wouldn't it be a REFRESHING CHANGE if the movie began some other way?

Would it be more interesting to see something you have never seen before, than have your every expectation and desire for a stupid trope fulfilled?

reply

What is wrong with looking forward to a tradition AND having it be a great film? Does it have to be one or the other? The neat thing about a traditional logo is it sets the tone, and we move on.

reply

The fourth movie started horribly but it was because of a CGI prairie dog popping up.

reply

That didn't bother me so much but the second and third shots were a bit much. Though they do move like that having three shots of them was overkill and not necessary....Spielberg should have known better. The last two shots can easily be edited out. Maybe one day....

reply

I agree, the first Gopher was WTF, but ok, kind of funny. But when more popped up, oh no, why? It was foreshadowing the jungle for me.

reply

It's going to be complete crap, so it really doesn't matter what they do.

reply

Who cares? It won't affect the plot

reply

But what if it does?? Dun dun dun!!! 🤪

reply

Well if it does, then this will be my favorite movie of the franchise

reply

It'll just have the Lucasfilm logo on it.

reply

It was the transition from Lucasfilm to a lock , but Paramount logo was there, I guess in part to fool audiences into thinking it'd be the mountain transition again

reply

It was very forgettable, whatever it was... a lock or some such whatchamacallit.

reply

Not so much interesting stuff for the shape of LucasFilm to transition to than the Paramount logo
