(May 21)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] 'Indy' and his adventures come to New York City.'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' brought its US premiere and star harrison Ford to Harlem.SOT:"Well, the first thing Steven decided to do was have me thrown into the side of a car and fall on the ground. So I knew I was back."[Notes:Clip, courtesy Paramount Pictures]SOT:"Well we do it the old-fashioned way. We do real live action, we didn't do a lot of CGI on the stunt stuff, we thought it better to keep it sort of human scale rather than be bigger than anything you've ever seen. Wanted the concentration to be on the story, not on the kinetics." Also on hand, Ford's fiance Calista Flockhart. She's with Karen Allen, who reprised her role as Marion Ravenwood from the first 'indy' flick:SOT: "I certainly enjoyed playing her and um, you know, and it was a film that I did see from time to time. You know, I showed it to my son as he was growing up.You know, people, you know, it was one of those films that kind of followed me through my life. I would be invited to come and talk about it and things so it wasn't like a film that was a long ago, far away thing for me." It was up close and present for Shia LeBeouf's fight scenes with Cate Blanchett:SOT:"It took us four and a half months of training to get there and ah it was rough. Not only because of the elements and the situation in which your doing but she's pregnant. So it's rough. You don't want to fight a pregnant woman. That's a no win (laugh)." Blanchett - who gave birth to her third son last month - was also at an 'indy' premiere. But this one was in her native Australia.SOT: "Look it was a dream come true for me, I mean I ate those films alive. Between George Lucas and Steven Spielberg - along with Tarkovsky and Ingmar Bergman - they've had an enormous influence on my cultural landscape. So to step into frame was very surreal." 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' comes to theaters May 22nd. ___ ___, The Associated Press.(****END****) ANCHOR VOICE: Lauri Neff-------------------------VIDEO PRODUCER: Neff------------------------------VIDEO SOURCE: AP, Paramount--------------------------VIDEO APPROVAL: R.M.------------------------------VIDEO RESTRICTIONS: Courtesy----------------------------------
