Harrison Ford: TV Guide News

New Indiana Jones to Premiere at Cannes | Movie News | 4/24/2008
I wonder if TVGuide.com would want to send someone (me!!!) to cover this awesome event. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull will be premiering at the Cannes Film Festival, which runs from May 14-25. Thierry Fremaux, the festival's head, said the presence of Steven Spielberg and the stars of the fourth installment of the Indiana Jones film franchise, which will premiere outside the main competition, would ensure "a magnificent red carpet," reported Reuters. Mega-stars Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett and director-producers Spielberg and George Lucas are expected to attend.The red carpet will also sizzle with the likes of Scarlett Johanson, Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem who will be promoting their Woody Allen film, Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Other highly anticipated premieres include Clint Eastwood's The Changeling with Angelina Jolie, and Steven Soderbergh's four-hour epic, Che, based on the life of the revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Gee, seems as though... read more
Indiana Jones Cast, Producers Take Risky Route to Profits | Movie News | 4/21/2008
When Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull debuts worldwide May 22, the cast and producers won't just be taking risks in search of treasure, they'll be risking their real-life earnings from the film's profit. Eschewing the usual upfront fees that talent typically get before a film even opens, the new Indy film is set for an adventure in deal-making, in which no one gets a cut of the profit unless the movie brings home the bucks at the box office. With film production and marketing costs leaping through the roof, says the L.A. Times, Paramount Pictures set up a different kind of arrangement for the Crystal Skull, which cost $400 million to make and market. Executive producer George Lucas, director Steven Spielberg, stars Harrison Ford and Shia LaBeouf and other potential earners from the movie won't see much of a payday until that amount is recouped and exceeded. Skull's talent, though, probably don't have much to worry about. The first three of the Indiana Jones flicks earned $1.2... read more
How Kimmel's Video Became a Star-studded Affair | Today's News: Our Take | 2/26/2008
After watching Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious post-Oscars "I'm F--king Ben Affleck" music video, I had one lingering thought I just couldn't put to rest: How in the world did they get stick-in-the-mud Harrison Ford to play along?Apparently, all they had to do was ask. When Affleck learned that Ford found the humor in an earlier video, in which Kimmel's girlfriend Sarah Silverman confessed to getting down with Matt Damon, they approached the Indiana Jones star and found him more than willing to play a part. Ford was just one in a shockingly large group of celebs, including Brad Pitt, Robin Williams, Cameron Diaz and Josh Groban, who were eager to make an appearance in Kimmel's jokingly vengeful retort.Even with all that star power on hand, shooting the clip took quite a while. New York's Daily News reports that the scene in which Kimmel and Affleck almost kiss required 10 takes because the pair couldn't stop laughing. But all the hard work was worth it — the video has already been... read more
Jimmy's "F**king Ben Affleck" Debut | Today's Top Videos | 2/25/2008
If you thought Sarah Silverman's "I'm F**king Matt Damon" was the most hilarious video you'd ever seen, wait till you get a load of what Jimmy Kimmel did to strike back last night during his post-Oscar show. Not only did he whip up a ridiculously brilliant video featuring Matt Damon's "other half," Ben Affleck, as his love interest, but he also went on to recruit what appears to be all of Hollywood to serve as backup singers. Robin Williams, Don Cheadle, Cameron Diaz, Lance Bass, Josh Groban, Harrison Ford — it’s an endless list! Brad Pitt even makes a cameo as the Fed Ex guy. All we can say after watching them walk away together in their cut-off short-shorts? Awesome. Just plain awesome. **Note: If the video is loading slowly, sit tight — a lot of people are trying to watch this at the same time!And if you don't remember how this all started, check out Sarah Silverman's "I'm F**king Matt Damon" video below.
