The /www.nhregister.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=18549739&BRD=1281&PAG=461&dept_id=590581&rfi=6"" target=""_blank"">New Haven Register scores the first interview with Indiana Jones 4 producer Frank Marshall since the start of production on the fourth Indy film last month.

Frank Marshall talks about how fantastic it was for him and the whole Indy 4 crew to shoot in New Haven. He also apologizes to anybody who was treated rudely by crew or security people ""because that's not how it should be done."" said Marshall.

Frank Marshall also confirmed that Indiana Jones 4 is being shot in the same style as the first three. Meaning no digital cameras! ""Steven is very aware of the process and we're not cheating with CG (computer graphics) at all,"" Marshall said. ""It keeps the B movie feel.""

""We're like a giant circus army that descends on a location,"" he said, recognizing that closing major downtown arteries and moving bus stops for days at a time has inconvenienced many.

""We like to try to make it as easy as we can, and everybody here has been ? amenable to things we've had to do.""

The producer's job is to secure financing, hire the crew and in myriad ways ""help the director get their vision up on the screen."" Marshall said that while he's enjoyed being in New Haven, most of his tasks have been concerned with looking ahead. After shooting a scene Thursday at the Essex Steam Train, the production will move to Hawaii.

But if something unexpected were to come up, such as a rainy day, Marshall has to come up with a plan. ""That's why I like to be on the set,"" he said. ""A lot of producers never leave the office.""

Besides being producer of the Indiana Jones films, Frank Marshall is also responsible for other classic films like the Back to the Future trilogy, The Sixth Sense, Seabiscuit and most recently also the Bourne series of which The Bourne Ultimatum comes out next month.
