“Raiders of the Lost Ark,” which features one of actor Harrison Ford's most memorable performances as Indiana Jones, turned 30 years old on Sunday. Opening on June 12, 1981, the movie paved the way for the rest of the Indiana Jones franchise, which produced two more films in the following years—“Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” in 1984 and “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” in 1989. George Lucas brought Ford back with his famous fedora and whip in 2008 with “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.” The film also provided a stratospheric boost to director Stephen Spielberg, whose previous movie “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” was well-received but far from a box office smash. Spielberg teamed up with George Lucas for the film, which sold out theatres around the country and earned Spielberg a Best Director Oscar, according to Zap2it's celebrity blog. Shia LeBoef, Ford's costar from “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” told MTV news that another Indiana Jones movie may be in the works. "I talked to [Harrison Ford]," he said. "He said he's staying in the gym, he said he's heard no word, but he does know that [George Lucas] is out there looking for a MacGuffin. He said he's staying in the gym, so it means [the movie is] not so far off."
