Frank Marshalluse, the film’s producer planned the shots to be the same way as the previous three. Meaning, with all the stunt men and using CGI only when it is necessary. Spielberg had the same plans too. But when the filming began, the decision was handed down that they needed to during filming the decision was made to employ more CGI. They did not anticipate this citing they would only use around 30% CGI in the film.Steven Spielberg wanted Janusz Kaminski, who shot all his films starting from the Schindler’s List in 1993, to replace the newly retired cinematographer, Douglas Slocombe. He had worked on all three of the previous Indiana Jones’ films. Spielberg did not want to modernize the photography. He retained the comic book style.This proves to be a much harder work for Kaminski since he had to watch all the three films over again to study the retired cinematographer’s style and technique.Several other titles were considered and registered before finalizing on “The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”. Some of which were, City of Gods, THe Fourth Corner of the Earth, The Destroyer of Worlds and The Lost City of Gold to name a few.

Trivia: The girl who punches Mutt in the diner scene is Sasha Spielberg, Spielberg’s daughter.
