Exclusive: Inside the home of Indiana Jones

There’s a lot more to moviemaking than just running around with an old KFC bucket on your head. Modern blockbusters employ veritable armies of grips, dolly grips, key grips and, for all I know, hair grips. One of the more important jobs is making sure that the sets are convincing, and if it’s a movie with a period setting, historically accurate.

The production team on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull had the tricky task of updating the hero’s home to suit the film's 50s mileu without betraying the millions of fans who feel as if they know Indy and would spot a misplaced prop straight away.

Nice to see Indy had his polaroid with him while he was with his dad in Last Crusade...

It's great to see his house again, it hasn't been seen since Raiders of the Lost Ark.
