Yesterday, The Guardian’s Jemima Kiss<\/a><\/strong> managed to ask Steven Spielberg<\/a><\/strong> and cast members of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull<\/a> (including Harrison Ford <\/a>and Karen Allen<\/a>) a bunch of questions via the new video site Seesmic<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

She explains<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Seesmic<\/a>, the video discussion site, has gone wild this morning as Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford, George Lucas and more big names from Indiana Jones 4 join a Q&A session on the site.<\/p>\n

It’s a simple enough idea but incredibly exciting; I just posted a few direct questions to Spielberg and Karen Allen (Marian was always one of my favourite heroines) and it’s quite a buzz watching them reply directly to your own questions.<\/p>\n

Seesmic is quite intimate too – like most people, I just use my webcam and was still wearing my pyjamas when I recorded. But hey, pyjamas have a good internet heritage.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here is Jemima asking him about his plans for the small screen and the interactivity of the web:<\/p>\n

And Spielberg then replied:<\/p>\n

Jemima also asked Steven how the Indy films fit into his wider body of work:<\/p>\n

Harrison Ford talks about the first day on the set of the latest movie:<\/p>\n

Karen Allen discusses the return of her character, Marion Ravenwood:<\/p>\n

Great work from Jemima and it is good to see a major studio like Paramount and A-listers like Spielberg embracing this kind of technology.<\/p>\n

As someone who has done my fair share of interviews with actors and filmmakers<\/a> this looks like a really exciting development.<\/p>\n
