Indiana Jones 4 A Go!

[Fozzie Bear]

I was watching the news and it was announced that Indiana Jones 4 has been approved by both Lucas and Spielberg, a script that will make this "the best one ever," and is due to be released by May 2008.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- George Lucas said Friday that filming of the long-awaited "Indiana Jones" movie will begin next year. Harrison Ford, who appeared in the three earlier flicks, the last one coming in 1989, is set to star again. Lucas said he and Steven Spielberg recently finalized the script for the film.

"It's going to be fantastic. It's going to be the best one yet," the 62-year-old filmmaker said during a break from preparing for his duties as grand marshal of Monday's Rose Parade.

Exact film locations have not been decided yet, but Lucas said part of the movie will be shot in Los Angeles.

The fourth chapter of the "Indiana Jones" saga, which will hit theaters in May 2008, has been in development for over a decade with several screenwriters taking a crack at the script, but it only recently gained momentum.

Lucas kept mum about the plot, but said that the latest action flick will be a "character piece" that will include "very interesting mysteries."

"I think it's going to be really cool," Lucas said.

At the inaugural Rome Film Festival in October, the 64-year-old Ford said he was excited to team up with Lucas and Spielberg again for the fourth "Indiana Jones" installment. Ford said he was "fit to continue" to play the title role despite his age.

Ford played Indiana Jones in 1981's "Raiders of the Lost Ark," 1984's "Temple of Doom" and 1989's "The Last Crusade."

Lucas praised Ford for breathing life into his character.

"Mostly it's the charm of Harrison that makes it work," he said.

I hope it's really good Kev.
In some ways the long delay may make it seem like the start of some new separate series from the original classic trilogy, but I'll still be extremely keen to see a new Indy adventure on screen.

I wonder what it's to be about, and if they're bringing back any old characters such as his dad and Shortround?

I was just about to start a thread last week asking if this was gonna' happen or not as it's been back and forth so many times. Back in October, Ford said he's still "in good shape" to take on the roll of Indy again. I hope so, because I freakin' love Indiana Jones. CAN'T WAIT!

SHORT ROUND!! YES!

I hope that Spielberg and Ford have more to do with the story than Lucas, especially after the last 3 Star Wars films (here come the politics, eh?). I'm totally looking forward to it.
