Hot Rods & Droids: A George Lucas Profile (Part 3)

[1981], And it was about this archaeologist-adventurer who goes searching for the Ark of the Covenant. When he mentioned that it would be like the old serials and that the guy would wear a soft fedora and carry a bullwhip, I was completely hooked. George asked, ‘Are you interested?’ and I said, ‘I want to direct it,’ and he said, ‘It’s yours.’” ) who came up with the idea of the Ark of the Covenant as being the device that drives the plot. Kaufman had heard about the Ark from his doctor when he was 11 years old; he subsequently left the project when given an opportunity to direct a Clint Eastwood movie. “Originally, he was a playboy and lived the fast life in Manhattan,” revealed Lucas. “He used his treasure hunting to fund his lifestyle. When we got on to that part of it, Steven and Harrison Ford both fought the idea. I kept pushing it and pushing it and it’s still there, it’s just not ever talked about. Especially in the first movie, Indy is driven by the significance of what he’s going after, not the money. He’s basically a mercenary, but it’s the thrill of discovery that keeps him going. He loves archaeology and he loves discovering the truth about ancient civilizations and history.” To write the screenplay Steven Spielberg recommended Lawrence Kasdan from whom he had bought the script (1981). “Our outlining was immense, but not detailed,” stated Kasdan who had a four-day story conference with Spielberg and Lucas. “We knew who the three main characters would be, but there wasn't a word in anybody's mouth. There were no broad strokes and real structure to Raiders' plot. I had to come up with all of that. I also had to do a good bit of research. My first draft of Raiders had a lot of information about the Ark of the Covenant, most of which has survived into the final film. It's been simplified and might sound like a lot of hocus pocus, but the majority of the superstitions and history that the picture attributes to the Ark are beliefs that have been held by people for years. Additionally, I did a lot of reading about archeology, the attitudes and lifestyles of 1930’s America, and that time's international alliances." ), recalled, “Larry, George, and Steven had a ball picking exciting moments they’d known as kids from the movies and wanted to see in a movie again.
