Guys I wrote a script for a 5th adventure for Indiana Jones based on an idea by George Lucas.. I decided I'd have a crack at it as the Crystal Skull had left such a bad taste in my mouth.. Anyway I tried heaps of ways to get it read..but to no avail no one one would even look at it..I even tried to use the 'feel sorry for me' wheelchair angle..which I hate to do..but it never worked. So rather then leave it gathering dust..and after the success of 50 Shades of Grey Kennel Style..I'd like to post some of it to see what you think.. It's Called 'Indiana Jones and the Cross of Salvation' it's Tagline is 'The ultimate adventurer of our time races to find the ultimate relic of all time.. Adventure remembers it's name..'
So anyone interested?

Is this another Kennel Fifty Shades style thread where someone ends up getting penetrated by a cucumber..? I don't think I can handle more images like that in my head....

Alright here we go..now it is in script form..which means it's explaining what's happening on screen..so basically it's watching a movie with the scenes described to you rather then seeing em!!
ps EXT. means exterior..outside INT. means interior. Continuous..is for scenes that go in and out side a lot..like an action scene..saves you writing exterior and interior constantly..Continued means the scene continues onto the next page..

FADE TO: THE PARAMOUNT LOGO. DISSOLVE transforms the
mountain into..
EXT. MONGOLIA. BLEAK WINTRY MIDDAY.
The real snow covered mountain peak of Burkhan Khaldun, in
the Khentii mountain ranges of Mongolia. Sacred to the
Mongolian people, its summit rises above all, as POWERFUL
GUSTS of WIND kick up snow, SWIRLING it around its peak..
The CAMERA SLOWLY MOVES us in towards Burkhan Khaldun..close
enough to see & hear the RUMBLINGS of snow as sections of it
break away & slide down the mountain. We then SWING around
the left side of the mountain SLOWLY ZOOMING OUT taking us
to its opposite face.The CAMERA THEN PANS across the snowy
mountain ranges leading us to a winding frozen river.
As we follow the river, four figures crossing it come into
view. We strain to see them due to the falling snow.
As the CAMERA SLOWLY ZOOMS in, the four MEN, struggle to
march against the BELLOWING wind & BLINDING snow. All of
them, dressed to fight the conditions, but only three
carrying packs, lean forward into the blizzard.
Each step is a battle, as they struggle to hold their
balance on the ice, as natures fury surrounds them.
Just ahead of the three packed laden men walks a man
carrying nothing more than a bullwhip & gun on his hip and a
compass in his hand. He wears the all too familiar fedora.
It is INDIANA JONES, famed archeologist & obtainer of rare
antiquities.
Of the three following, one pack carrier is a TALL THIN MAN
in his mid twenties, the other is a SHORT PORTLY MAN in his
late thirties.
The third, ZHOU is a fit athletic man in his early fifties.
He is a longtime friend of Indy but on his first adventure
with him.
All the pack carriers are of Chinese descent.
A cold Indy reaches the bank of the river & stops dead in
his tracks. He raises his hand to halt the three men behind
him.
They slide to a stop & bump into each other.
He checks his compass again. Indy crouches on the ground &
brushes away some snow with a gloved hand.

Indy reveals some unusual markings on the ground.
He reaches inside his thick leather jacket revealing a
tattered diary. He opens it up. The pages are filled with
ancient drawings & writings. He flicks through the pages
until he finds what he is looking for..
a pencil sketch of the group of rocks before him.
He looks around than stands up, placing the compass in his
pants & moves towards an outcrop of rocks.
The three men quickly get off the GROWLING ice to the safety
of the river bank.
TITLE CARD FADES IN: MONGOLIA 1959
Indy once again kneels down & stares at the rocks.
CLOSE UP. He pulls down the scarf protecting his face
against the cold and rubs his unshaven chin.
Two of the three men begin bickering in Mandarin..but due to
the sound of the SWIRLING WIND we can’t make out what they
are saying..the other, ZHOU turns & silences them with a
wave of his hand.
Indy remains focused. He chooses the rock he wants & pushes
it in.
Suddenly the ground just besides the rocks gives way. A loud
HISS is heard above the wind as the ancient air escapes the
tomb. A stone spiral staircase is revealed where the earth &
snow have fallen away.
The other three men gasp.
Indy does not hesitate. He has seen these things many times
before. The Professor stands, brushes the snow away from his
knees & walks over to the staircase & begins his descent.
The three men left behind have a quick inaudible animated
discussion in Mandarin. Zhou who is carrying the lightest of
the packs breaks off. As he is leaving the other two men he
turns back to them.
ZHOU
nˇı zh ̄ıdaozˇenyàngzuò(In Mandarin -

I’m going with him. You know what
to do.)

INT. GENGHIS KHAN’S TOMB.STAIRS.


An obviously freezing Zhou steps down from the first set of
steps joining Indy on a flat stone platform. Another set of
stone steps fall away into the darkness before them. They
breathe in the stale air.
INDY
Don’t touch anything...gimme the
torch.
Indy turns Zhou around and takes a torch from his backpack.
He switches the torch on & begins his descent.
Zhou rubs his gloved hands together to warm them up some
more..he then pulls down the woolen scarf wrapped around his
face & touches his nose..looking very concerned.
ZHOU
Why did they bury Genghis Kahn in
such a cold place. My nose is numb.
Another woolen scarf flies out of the dark, it’s Indie’s! It
hits Zhou in the face..before it falls Zhou grabs it, smiles
& wraps it around his head over his other scarf.
Zhou then follows cautiously behind Indy into the unknown
abyss.
They don’t go far when.. A LOUD CLICK breaks the silence.
Indy swings around to Zhou knowing the sound he just heard,
meant something not good, was about to happen.
INDY
Did you touch anything?
Zhou knows he doesn’t want to give an answer.
ZHOU
Maybe.
INDY
What do you mean by may..?
Indy’s voice trails off as the stairs flatten beneath them
rocketing Indy & Zhou down the newly created slide.
The flashlight beam swings wildly.
Indy sees...
a ledge briefly illuminated by the light.

He jumps on it. Just regaining his balance. Turns. CRACK!
Indy’s whip catches Zhou wrapping itself around his wrist.
Indy pulls him up onto the platform,.
He then points his torch down into the dark pit Zhou &
himself almost ended up in. The beam of light reveals a
dozen massive spikes at the bottom of the stairs/slides.
After seeing from a distance, what they were about to see
close up, Indy shines his torch directly at Zhou LIGHTING UP
HIS FACE like a FULL MOON...
INDY
I said don’t touch anything.
Zhou nods approval.
As Indy points his torch in front of him he sees just
ahead..
a carved out stone walkway. Water from melted snow outside,
slowly trickles down it’s rocky walls, causing them to
GLISTEN as the light of Indy’s torch moves over them.
INDY
Stay behind me..remember ANY step
could be your last. You don’t wanna
become a permanent resident.
ZHOU
(earnestly agreeing) Yes yes.
Both Indy & Zhou cautiously step towards the pathway with
the torch lighting their way. We see them disappear into the
opening.
INT. GENGHIS KHAN’S TOMB.PASSAGE WAY.
LOW CAMERA ANGLE.
Barely visible, & unseen by both Indy & Zhou, a low lying
trip wire made out of a number of tightly woven horse hairs
(the Mongolians didn’t have a lot of metal wire at their
disposal but they sure had a lot of horse hair) lie
stretched from wall to wall across the walkway directly in
front of Indy. The wire sags slightly due to the effects of
time..but if tripped would still work.
Thankfully, the combination of a slightly saggy trip wire &
an adventurer who doesn’t drag his feet, Indy clears the
wire..

As Zhou walks towards the thick hair, we realize he doesn’t
lift his feet up as high as Indy & he..TRIPS the wire!
The sound of the horsehair snapping PINGS in the air.
Indy turns around quickly looking at..
Zhou who stands frozen with fear.
As Indy turns, his torchlight’s beam reflects off the wet
wall onto the ceiling above Zhou..As it does it GLISTENS
brightly..TOO BRIGHTLY for water on stone..NO..it is the
edge of a RAZOR SHARP BLADE that has been hiding in the
ceiling waiting over seven hundreds years for this day to
arrive!
Indy realises what it is & what it means..he thinks fast..&
pushes Zhou to the wall..
INDY
Stay flat against the wall!
ZHOU
What?
INDY
Do it now!
Indy does the same on the opposite wall..keeping as flat as
he can..
just in time as..
the HUGE SHARP BLADE attached to the ceiling swings right
down the middle of the walkway between the two men..
It SLICES a button off Zhou’s shirt before he could suck his
belly in!
The SWOOSH of the blade as it rapidly swings, amplified by
the the small enclosed space, SHUDDERS through the tunnel.
Back & forth it swings..just missing the explorers..ever so
slowly it begins to slow down losing its initial momentum.
As the noise dies down so does its speed finally coming to a
complete stop in the middle of the walkway dividing the two
men..
Zhou, who, despite the cold is now lathered in sweat, lets
out his breath. He looks down at where his button use to be,
touching the slightly torn fabric with his hand. Zhou then
looks up & sees the blade. He reaches out & feels the
sharpness of the blade with his finger. Zhou instantly
recoils his arm back & sucks his finger trying to numb the

pain from the cut he just received courtesy of the blade.
Realizing he almost became minced meat he looks anxiously at
Indy.
INDY
(looking over the sharp blade) I
told you each step could be your
last.
Indy slides out from beside the blade & walks further into
the tomb.
Zhou follows, NOW watching each step he takes..closely!
The walkway comes to an end..
INT. GENGHIS KHAN’S TOMB. BURIAL CHAMBER.
The searching beam of light from Indy’s torch tries to
penetrate the bleakness before them.
INDY
I think this is the main room. It
seems pretty big. The torch hardly
lights it.
Indy waves his torch trying to see into the darkness.
INDY
There must be a way to light this
place.
He moves his torch up & down the walls to the left & right
of him..a small hole in the right wall catches his eye.
INDY
Hold this. (handing the torch back
to Zhou) I’ll need my lucky charm.
Indy reaches into the pocket of his leather jacket and pulls
out a lighter emblazoned with a four leaf clover.
A small burn mark runs along the bottom of the lighter
reminding us that Indy & Henry Jones Snr used it in a fiery
escape from the Nazis in The Last Crusade.
Indy flicks on the lighter.
Zhou anxiously watches as Indy moves towards the small
alcove.
The LUMINOUS GLOW from the light edges towards the wall but
is swallowed up when Indy places his hand in the small hole.

This first stuff I pretty much made up..but they do believe Genghis Kahn's tomb is in Monogolia.. The rest of the story..in particular the back story of the Holy Cross..is based on The Golden Legend..it's a medieval book that deals with a lot of stories about saints etc..took me a little while to weave in this with some other ideas.. By the end it comes to a plausible conclusion..

A moment passes.
Then a tiny flame begins to flicker & dance from where Indy
placed his hand.
Indy very pleased with himself turns to Zhou.
INDY
There that should shed some light
on the subject.
The flame ignites some purposely placed fuel-an ancient
switch-that initiates the lighting sequence for the room.
A line of fire suddenly emerges from the alcove & runs away
from it, along its wall. When it reaches the midway point of
the wall the line of fire separates in two.
With one fiery line running up the wall towards the ceiling.
The other line continues on its original path to the far end
of the tomb.
Suddenly the burial chamber EXPLODES into BRIGHTNESS as the
beam running up the wall hits the ceiling & BURSTS into
hundreds of lines zig zaging across the ceiling.
Indy & Zhou’s face GLOW as the majesty of Genghis Khan’s
tomb is revealed before them.
The tomb is as high as it is long. The ancient builders
would have begun construction many years before Khan’s death
to complete such an elaborate tomb.
As the chamber BRIGHTENS we see the richness of it...
a SPARKLING dance of light performs as tiny diamonds
embedded in the floor reflect the ceiling’s fire.Adorning
the walls are colourful murals of past Mongol battles. Their
intricate art work is on display thanks to the BLAZING light
show.
The dominant feature of the room are ten life size horses in
the middle of the room mounted by ten fierce Mongolian
warriors in full battle dress. The ten figures have been
divided evenly into two lines of five facing each
other...each soldier is armed with a REAL bow and arrow
They look alive except they are made of SOLID GOLD.
The ten warriors hold their weapon poised, ready to strike
at any person crazy enough to attempt to walk the small
pathway created by them down the middle of the room..
Indiana Jones is one of those people.

INDY
(pointing to the pathway) That’s
the only way to get to the other
end of the room.
Zhou just shakes his head & is resigned to Indy’s
suggestion.
INDY
Come on..show a little backbone.
Indy approaches the massive statues in front of them.


CRACK!


INDY
We better be extra careful...the
Mongols had one helluva cavalry.
ZHOU
Why? These are just old..


Zhou’s sentence is cut short as Indy flicks his whip between
the opposing horses.
Two arrows fire out from the bows of the first two opposite
facing horses and riders.
The arrows cross and stick into the opposite wall.
SNAP!
The archers reload.
INDY
See? That’s why you have to respect
the older generation.
Indy begins to examine the statues.
INDY
There must be some way to stop
these arrows.
He looks up & down the massive statues..
INDY
Gold..all gold..except..
Indy notices that right at the top of the archer’s helmet
there is a tiny mirror at its peak.

INDY
(pointing to the mirror) Except
there. That’s out of place.
He flicks his whip again between the horses.
The CRACK of the whip fills the room. It’s quickly followed
by the SWOOSH of another arrow fired from the mounted
warrior.
Indy looks at the ’lightening’ around the room.
INDY
Looks like the arrows are triggered
when the light reflecting from the
opposite wall, into the mirror on
the helmet, gets interrupted. I
must’ve activated some kind of
mechanism on the horses when i lit
this place up..maybe i should have
kept us in the dark..the arrows
didn’t fire then.
ZHOU
What do we do -now?
INDY
Dunno think of something..
Indy looks at the light again.. he gets an idea..
INDY
Wait..i got it.
Indy reaches into his satchel and pulls out a lady’s
compact.
Seeing the lady’s compact Zhou raises his eyes..
INDY
Don’t ask.
Indy opens the compact.
INDY
(snapping the mirror)There goes
seven years bad luck.
He walks to the edge of the path and kneels down.
He positions one of the broken pieces of mirror on the
ground between the first two opposing archers. He angles it
in such a way that the light from the surrounding fire
reflects directly into the mirror of the left warrior..

a tiny SPARKLE of light (unlike the sparkle in the tunnel
this is a good thing!) confirms Indy has created an
uninterrupted beam of light.
INDY
Here, hold this.
Zhou nods & reluctantly walks up & kneels down beside Indy
holding the piece of the mirror.
INDY
Don’t move. It’s keeping the light
from the fire directed at the
mirror..
Indy points to the golden horse to the left of Zhou..
INDY
Onto the helmet of that statue.
Indy nods to the golden horse warrior to the right of Zhou.
INDY
I’m taking this one.
He looks at Zhou..
INDY
And remember don’t move.
Indy gets up slowly holding the mirror between himself and
the golden statue and moves towards it slowly. As Indy gets
closer to the statue he sees..
a series of interlocking cogs just behind the sitting
warrior..
it’s the mechanism that fires & reloads the arrows!
INDY
FOUND IT!
Indy reaches out and moves a cog.
He then slowly lowers the mirror. No arrow fires.
INDY
(smiling) Only another nine to go.
Zhou groans.
