Howard Kazanjian RAIDERS Executive Producer and Vice President of Lucasfilm, LTD
Q&A Transcript for RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK ArcLight Screening 26 May 2010 - Pasadena, California An Evening of Conversation with Mr. Howard Kazanjian RAIDERS Executive Producer and Vice President of Lucasfilm, LTD The following transcript is a near-complete rendering of the Q&A session held immediately following the sold-out Paramount Pictures/ArcLight screening of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (26 May 2010). The Q&A session was arranged by Lance Mazmanian (who also hosted) and was recorded to video and audio by “The Mission Control”. Note that items in parentheses are provided for clarity and to record audience reaction and/or physical movements. Also, the introduction was rebuilt from memory, due to its being deleted from the published video. LANCE MAZMANIAN: Welcome everybody. Glad you could all make it. Thanks to the ArcLight and to Paramount Pictures for having this. I’d like to say a couple of things before asking Howard a couple of questions. What many of you in this theatre may not know is that Howard was, for a long time, the power behind the throne at Lucasfilm. As vice-president of Lucasfilm for eight and a half years, he was directly responsible for many of the things Lucasfilm did between 1977 and 1985, and even before. But Howard is a very modest man, and he won’t talk about his contributions much. Hopefully that will change soon. For example, if it weren’t for this man (grabs Howard’s shoulder) the Indiana Jones character we’ve known and loved would not exist at all.

www.knowitalljoe.com "THE STAR WARS SAGA ON LOCATION" Feature -2- British production designer Norman Reynolds, a double Oscar winner for STAR WARS ana RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, was given a million dollar budget to clear the valley of vegetation and construct a four acre stockade to house his 30,000 square foot platform which is topped by a sixty foot, fully-rigged, anti-gravity Sail Barge. The true significance of this set will remain a closely kept secret until RETURN OF THE JEDI opens on May 25, 1983. The JEDI crew was in the area for six months, employing more than fifty local residents ana pumping more than two million dollars into the local economy. Associate to the Producer Louis Friedman was relieved to discover that, almost without exception, "I could find anything we needed locally. I just had to look a bit longer ana harder." Assistant art director Chris Campbell concurs: "The merchants here really helped us a lot. They realized that with an operation of this size, when we ord~red a product, we needed it all-- not just a gallon or two." Some of the things they needed were two million gallons of water (drawn from the All American Canal) to continually dampen down and grade the only possible access road and sixteen thousand pounds of nails to keep the massiv~ Sail Barge structure steady.
