*  By 3 June 2003, Frank Darabont's script was being reported as being complete. The production crew stated that the film would be shot the same way as the previous three - with stunt men, rather than computer generated effects.

    * Producer Frank Marshall stated that the film would be shot the same way as the previous three - with stunt men, and using CGI only when necessary.

    * M. Night Shyamalan and Tom Stoppard were each asked to pen a draft of the screenplay.

    * In April 2004, the project was supposedly shelved once more after George Lucas rejected the script by Frank Darabont earlier. Reportedly, Lucas did not like Darabont's handling of the storyline between Indy and his brother (both Indy's father played by Sean Connery and brother, a role for which Kevin Costner was rumored to be considered, were to have roles in the new movie). In media reports Darabont indicated he was "disappointed" with the decision.

    * At one point, Calista Flockhart was attached to the project.

    * The first Indiana Jones film not photographed by Douglas Slocombe.

    * The first Indiana Jones film not to feature legendary stunt man Vic Armstrong, whose commitment to The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (200 when this movie finally got greenlit caused scheduling conflicts.

    * Sean Connery was asked to reprise his role as Henry Jones, Sr. from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), but Connery turned it down because he did not want to come out of retirement.

    * Before ‘The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’ was chosen as the title, several other titles were considered and even registered with the MPAA in August 2007, including ‘The City of Gods’, ‘The Destroyer of Worlds’, ‘The Fourth Corner of the Earth’, ‘The Lost City of Gold’, and finally, ‘The Quest for the Covenant’.

    * Shia LaBeouf revealed the movie's official title during his appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards 2007 (2007) (TV).

    * This is the first Indiana Jones film without Pat Roach, who had a role in the first three films. Roach died in 2004.

    * The US version of the teaser trailer was modified so you don't see any guns. In the international version the sight of the US flag was removed.
