New Indiana Jones movie filmed in Peru - trailer shows Nazca lines

Living in Peru
Israel J. Ruiz

After almost two decades, the most daring and bold professor of archaeology, Henry Walton Jones, Jr. - better known as Indiana Jones, is back on the big screen for a fourth theatrical performance.

Not only was the film shot in places such as New Mexico; New Haven, Connecticut; Hawaii; Fresno, California; and Los Angeles but was also shot in Peru's jungle.

Furthermore, a recent trailer released by Paramount of the new film shows a plane flying over the famous Nazca lines, one of Peru's main tourist attractions.

According to the movie's producer, Frank Marshall, the film will take Indiana Jones across New Mexico, Connecticut, Mexico City and the jungles of Peru as he battles for the crystal skull.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, an adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg, has been completed and is scheduled for an international simultaneous release on Thursday May 22.

The film, which is the fourth Indiana Jones movie, will star the original "Indy", Harrison Ford.

I am so mad about this movie , i really think you guys, should investigate and research a little bit more , We are peruvians and not Mexicans , and we dont have anything to do with Pancho Villa.

I know  that the Peruvian goverment did  not pay any kind of Advertisement in this movie,  but  as a peruvian living in the States ,   i feel proud  that my country is  in the Indi Aventures but , also i feel sad when i realise that Steven or Lucas , or who ever did not make the right research !!!

Oh God and when they try to make the Pizac market and put CHARROS MUSIC ????????

Good luck for next time !!!!

No reason to be mad about it! I am doing a research work on the movie. I am also peruvian. I love to see the Nazca Lines in the Adventures of Indiana Jones. Yes, there are many historical and geographical inconsistencies; it's ridiculous!

The movie implies that the Nazca Lines are in Cuzco. They acknowledge that Quechua is a dialect spoken by native peruvians, and that Indiana Jones had learned it from Pancho Villa's guards. Very unlikely.

Movies are a fascinating way to educate children as well as adults. I feel sorry that they missed out the opportunity to do so.
