I’ve been at rapt nerd attention when it comes to all things Indy 4, but I haven’t broken any hot news items or derived any potential plot spoilers from the available information myself. However, I think I just figured something out that I haven’t seen mentioned anywhere yet so I’ll share it with you here first.
What do you get when you cross a National Geographic for Kids article which eludes to Indy and Mutt Williams running through the jungle being chased by “giant bugs”…
With track 16 on the unreleased soundtrack listing by John Williams entitled, “ANTS!”…
Presumably, something like this:
Did Indy and Mutt follow the giant ants upon Hagrid’s advice looking for Aragog? George. Steven. I’d like a word.
There are no giant ants in the new Indiana Jones movie. There is a chase scene in which the vehicles crash in the middle of a swarm of supernaturally aggressive and powerful, but distinctly non-giant, ants. You should have a word with whoever wrote the National Geographic for Kids article.
No, they aren’t really giant ants. they are just man eating ants that Indy encounteres in the jungle.
