A rumor has been floating on the internet that Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular at Disney MGM Studio's in Florida will be replaced by an other Indiana Jones Adventure ride. This rumor is already at least 3 months old.

Earlier this month I have received the good news from a firm source within the Disney MGM Studio's that Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular is not going anywhere for at least a couple more years. And certainly not now it's certain that Indy IV is coming.

So whatever other websites are saying about this rumor, the Epic Stunt Spectacular stays at Disney MGM Studio's!

Thanks to CJ and his Sacred Community.

Josh Levey of Star Theatres has informed me that Star Southfield (25333 W. 12 Mile Road, Southfield, MI 48034) will be showing Raiders of the Lost Ark this weekend (May 27th, 28th and 29th) as part of their new summer midnight movie series. Tickets are only $5.

Thanks to Josh Levey for the information.

The George Eastman House in Rochester, New York will be screening Raiders of the Lost Ark today at 8:00 PM in the Dryden Theatre! Special guest to this screening is Indiana Jones' costume designer Deborah Nadoolman Landis:

Visiting Artist Deborah Nadoolman Landis presents Raiders Of The Lost Ark (Steven Spielberg, US 1981, 115 min.) The first - and best - adventure of the globetrotting archaeologist Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) finds our hero on a quest to recover the Ark of the Covenant, where the original Ten Commandments tablets rest. In a post-film discussion, Deborah N. Landis, president of the Costume Designers Guild - and the designer of Indy’s ubiquitous hat and leather jacket - will discuss her work and the work of her colleagues in an invaluable but often under-appreciated aspect of the movie industry.

Screening tickets are $6 for general public, $5 for students, and $4 for the museum members. Visit the George Eastman House website for more information.

Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation will be screened at the Chicago International Film Festival's 2005 Future Filmmakers Festivalthis Friday!

I have already reported this news on TheRaider.net before but Aint It Cool News has published a cool news article on this Chicago screening today. Here follows an except:

Capone in Chicago here with big, big, big news for everyone (at least those of you in my fair city) who has been desperate to catch the biggest movie event in all of history. No, not the one with Sith in the title. I'm referring, of course, to the glorious shot-for-shot remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark that those ingenious teenagers spent seven years of their lives during the 1980s putting together with only a home video camera and a dream. I was one of the blessed who caught about the first hour or so of this at BNAT 4 during the breakfast break, and I was among the loudest of those who booed with much fervor when the film was stopped in order to play whatever far-inferior film was next on Harry's playlist for the day.

The Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation Chicago screening is taking place this Friday, May 13, at 8:30 p.m., at Columbia College's Film Row Cinema, 1104 S. Wabash, 8th Floor. Raiders: The Adaptation creators Chris Strompolos and Erik Zala will be in attendance!
Tickets are $20 - $10 with a student ID. You can order your tickets in advance at the Chicago Future Filmmaking Festival website.

Udoiana Raunes creators Stefan, Thomas and Udoiana himself have let me know that their latest adventure game, Udoiana Raunes in search for Indiana Jones 4, is now online and ready for download!

In this third chapter of Udoiana Raunes you need to help Dr. Raunes on a quest to find the long lost Indiana Jones IV script and bring Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Harrison Ford back together to turn the script into a film.

You can download this free game from Dr. Raunes' official websites www.raunes.com and www.indy4.com.

A big congratulations and thanks to Stefan Zwanzger and Thomas Wagner for creating this very entertaining classic adventure game. They really made a game that no Indy fan should miss!
