Indiana Jones 4 Spoiled by an Extra; Lucas and Spielberg Strike Back

A stupefying loose-lipped extra who worked on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has incurred the wrath of no less than George Lucas and Steven Spielberg by blabbing plot points to a hometown paper. Despite having inked a nondisclosure agreement with the production, Tyler "You'll Never Hear About Me Again" Nelson — who played "a dancing Russian soldier" in a reportedly since-snipped scene — revealed to Oklahoma's Edmond Sun (Non-spoiler alert) the nature of Indy's latest quest, how Karen Allen's Marion plays into it, and the context of a pivotal scene between Harrison Ford and Cate Blanchett.

A rep for Spielberg would not confirm for the New York Post the veracity of the apparent spoilers, but literally mwa-ha-haed, "Who knows whether that particular person will ever work in this town again?" And I'm assuming he didn't mean Edmond, Oklahoma.

Karen Allen returns as Marion? Cool! She was certainly the sexiest of the Indy heroines!

C'mon. How many secrets would an extra know? I worked as an extra. It's not like I got the script.

Wow, just read the Edmond Sun article, he really did give a way a lot, didn't he? But I have to say, it actually makes me want to see the movie, which I was only lukewarm on originally. It sounds good.

Here's the New York Post story for those who feel like living dangerously. http://www.nypost.com/seven/09252007/gossip/pagesix/pagesix.htm

That was A LOT of intel that guy spilled (and thus confirmed who I thought Shia LeBouf's character was). Still, this makes me want to see the movie even more! As for that extra - let's see if he'll ever work in Hollywood again...">

I was thinking the same thing _ Ouch guy! You hurt yourself more than anyone - I doubt the roles will be coming in any time soon.

Maybe he can reprise his extra role in *Extras-sounds like a good story line!....And maybe they can even integrate various TVGuide* posts into the script...

Kewl! But shouldn't Shia be Indy's grandson?

Mr. Furley - actually, that's a pretty good idea.

Excellent news that Karen Allen will return! She was great in the first one!
