patrickcassels: Looking to get visions of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull from your mind? Look no further than this amazing transcript of a 1978 Raiders of the Lost Ark story conference between George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan, made availabile by Mystery Man on Film. According to the blog, “The conference took place at the L.A. home of Jane Bay, who was Lucas’ assistant. They had 5 consecutive 9-hour days to talk about the story. [The transcript] was typed from taped recordings of those meetings.” The coolest aspect of the transcripts is Spielberg’s complete geekiness, which is totally apparent. Every two or three pages he’s talking about his favorte parts of Clint Eastwood and James Bond movies, and when describing potential action sequences, he sounds like a 9-year-old playing with his action figures.
