In Reply to: Explanation for above post and why I think CINESCAPE IS SITTING ON A COMPLETE DRAFT OF THE INDY 4 SCRIPT! posted by Dietrich on November 08, 1999 at 14:25:43:

: Well, according to Garth, he says it's been scrapped - meaning it's no longer under consideration. I take it that means that at one time at least, it was under consideration by Lucasfilm. But I still don't get the name thing - that title sounds like fan fic to me (which I know a little about...).

: At the least, the simple fact that we never heard anything further on it in my book means there's something shady going on there. If it's fan fic - the truth usually comes out at some point. Look at the onetime controversy surrounding Sons of Darkness and Sword of Arthur. BOTH scripts were onetime contenders - but were shortly explained as fan fic. yet we've heard nothing to dispute the raiders of the Fallen Empire OR the Law of One scripts. It's not like either Cinescape or Dark Horizons to sit on an actual script without breaking it - and they usually don't leave rumors unconfirmed.

: On top of all that, if Garth can score the serious goods on the Cyclops pics from the X-Men set - I'm inclined to believe him. Also, I was a bit hopeful and perhaps exaggerated. Sorry.

: ALSO, CONSIDER THIS: IF CINESCAPE HAS THE LAW OF ONE SCRIPT WHY HAVEN'T THEY POSTED A SYNOPSIS!!!!!????

Good points, but no need to "shout". I've read so many "real script" claims over the past few years by writers, I don't surmise anything about any of them. I personally believe that no one is putting a synopsis up for review regarding any Indy scripts, good or bad, true or false after the above mentioned "Darkness" script and the furor it created against the author by threat of lawsuit from LucasFilm. That's something to consider as well. Regards. Michaelson
