UPDATE, 7/2, 3:45 pm: One more update from the Indy IV set over the weekend. The motorcyle chase took place during a protest rally at Yale's Old College Quad, which is just north of the New Haven Green. It now looks as though the football players originally cast will not get the chance to showcase their skills as the football portion was apparently nixed.
UPDATE, 6/28, 1 pm: Our source indicates that the motorcycle chase will likely be happening on Chapel Street instead of the practice field as originally reported. The production was initially seeking extras with football skills and possibly even UCONN chearleeders, however it's now unclear whether those extras will still be used with these new developments. The motorcycle scene was apparently cancelled due to the dangers of shooting a portion of the chase going through a tunnel connecting the field house to the Yale practice field. More to come!
UPDATE, 6/28, 11 am: filming of the scene began at 6am this morning, EST. The football sequence mentioned below has now apparently been nixed. We don't yet know what will replace it, but we should have that info for you soon.
As most of you already know by now. The new Indiana Jones movie is finally in production under the capable hands of Steven Spielberg.
You probably also have heard that a sequence is shooting in New Haven, Connecticut. While little was known about the sequence other than the rumor that it involves a car chase, we have the scoop for you here first...
According to our source, the scene is supposed to involve a Yale Football game at the practice field in which a motorcycle chase interrupts the big game. We also can't say for certain that Jones is on one of the motorcycles, but that's probably a pretty logical conclusion.
The scene goes down this Saturday with a call time just before dawn.
While we can't reveal our source, we can say that it comes from a reliable person close to the production.
We expect to have more details on the Connecticut portion of the shoot shortly, so stay tuned to ReelzChannel.com for the latest Indy 4 happenings!
