The man with the hat is back–in the definitive behind-the-scenes look at the Indiana Jones epic action saga.

When George Lucas and Steven Spielberg put their heads together to create a no-holds-barred action-adventure movie, bigger-than-life hero Indiana Jones was born.

The Complete Making of Indiana Jones is a crash course in movie magic-making–showcasing the masters of the craft and served up by veteran entertainment chroniclers J. W. Rinzler and Laurent Bouzereau. Inside you’ll find:

• exclusive on-set interviews with the entire cast and crew of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, including Harrison Ford, Shia LaBeouf, Cate Blanchett, Ray Winstone, and John Hurt–plus director Steven Spielberg, executive producer George Lucas, screenwriter David Koepp, and the incredible production team that built some of the most fantastic sets ever.

• hundreds of full-color images–from storyboards, concept paintings, and set design schematics to still photos from all four films with candid action shots of the productions in progress

• an in-depth chronicle of the making of the first three Indiana Jones movies–Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade–including transcripts of the original concept meetings, cast and crew anecdotes, production photos, and information on scenes that were cut from the final films

What Customers Say About The Complete Making of Indiana Jones: The Definitive Story Behind All Four Films:

If you wish to know all the history behind this movie, this is your book.Excellent book & higly recommemded.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R12K7T8NDBIXE2 This is probably the best making-of-the-movie book I've read so far this year.A lot of effort must have been put into research. This book is that good.There are more pictures on my blog. For that, it's worth the price alone.There are hundreds of high resolution production photos.

The narration explains in great detail all the events that happen behind the scenes. There are 300 pages in this 15-inch (screen measurement) book.For fans of Indiana Jones, this will be an immensely satisfying book. Considering when the first Indiana Jones movie was shot, I'm very impressed by how they manage to document all this information.The book is about the production process of the 4 Indy movies, up to the Crystal Skull.

Several art illustrations were put in also, such as posters, storyboards and set designs. It's filled with lots of interviews. Read from how Spielberg came up with Indy's name to the last day of shooting Crystal Skull where Harrison Ford gave Shia LaBeouf a signed hat.Reading the book is like working on the set itself.

For non-fans, this book will still impress. Just visit my Amazon profile for my blog's link.

This is just a mind blowing book. Just amazing. The illustrations and the story accounts are truly superb, and the snippets of story and trivia are the best ones around, even having some I didn't know, and I'm a huge fan.The pictures are of high quality, and the way the book layout is done is very well organized and detailed.A piece of art for the making of "geek" and the Lucas/Spielberg fan.

Likewise the behind-the-camera material gives one an education in why and how movies are made. The cover of the book modestly proclaims it to be "the definitive story behind all four films." I don't know I agree with that statement but J. Also, I wondered about the book being a Lucasfilm production. Rinzler and Laurent Bouzerea's book certainly sets a standard for future volumes on moviemaking.

Maybe I'm being cynical but things seemed sanitized(). As other reviewers have noted, the book is brimming with photos, artwork, storyboards, etc. that give the reader an unparalleled look at the four films. THE COMPLETE MAKING OF INDIANA JONES is a marvelous, in-depth, well-illustrated guide to the four movies featuring everyone's favorite action-adventure hero. But then, if Lucasfilm is paying the check.In any case, Indiana Jones' fans will want to add this book to their collection. The coverage given Indy II, III and IV seemed more and more perfunctory.

According to the book: (1) everyone loved everyone else on all four films; (2) Steven Spielberg is just about the greatest thing since sliced bread; (3) things like egos, temper tantrums, etc. never intruded in the Indiana Jones film-making; etc.

Whatever my reservations, it's a great piece of work on some of the most entertaining - and profitable - films made in the past three decades. W.

Finally, after finishing the book, I still haven't a clue what the authors FELT about the films. And all for only $35.00.Having said that, I'd like to throw out the following for what they're worth.

As the book progressed, I got a feeling that the narrative was rushed. They briefly summarize box office and critical reactions but you never find out if, for example, they loved Indy I, were disappointed by Indy II's shallowness and shrillness, felt Sean Connery deserved an Oscar for his ABSOLUTELY CHARMING turn in Indy III, etc.

Recommended.

An Indiana Jones treasure trove. Taylor was part of the production team and followed the crew to Tunisia. If you enjoyed this new book then check out the original 1981 book THE MAKING OF RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK by Derek Taylor, which has much more detail than J.W. Rinzler was able to print. A really great read and too-long out of print. The Making of Raiders of the Lost Ark
