Indiana Jones Goes Back To School

By Ryan 'The Rican with the Irish name' McLelland on May 24, 2007

The yet-to-be-titled Indiana Jones 4 will soon be hitting the streets of Connecticut to film an action sequence at Yale University.

The New Haven Independent has revealed that location scouts for the Steven Spielberg/George Lucas/Harrison Ford film were in New Haven, Connecticut to get permission to close down certain sections of the town to film the tentpole Summer 2008 blockbuster.  Aldermen at City Hall approved the closings and are looking forward to the shoot with one alderwoman even asking, "Can we get autographs?"

Most of the New Haven scenes for the film, which is set in 1957, include Indiana Jones racing through Yale and its streets on a motorcycle.  Indy will race through several of the courtyards in Yale, in the downtown area's Wall Street, and wrap-up with Indy entering Yale's prestigous Sterling Memorial Library and causing chaos for the students currently studying inside.  It is also noted that about 500 extras from the area will be needed for the shoot.
