Variety reports that screenwriter Jeff Nathanson's scripts for Indiana Jones 4 (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=4665) and Rush Hour (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=9823#) 3 are moving in opposite directions.

While the trade previously reported (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=9471) that Chris Tucker was expected to sign a $20 million deal which would fast-track New Line's Rush Hour 3, the actor ended up not doing so.

Meanwhile, Nathanson's draft for Indiana Jones 4 (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=4665) has apparently met with the approval of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=9823#). But before Paramount can move forward, Harrison Ford (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=9823#) still has to sign off on the script, and he hasn't yet read it.

The trade adds that with "Star Wars (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=9823#)" off his plate, Lucas recently summoned Nathanson to his Bay Area headquarters, where they went over the draft. The screenwriter also got notes from Spielberg, who brought him into the mix after working with him on Catch Me if You Can (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=9823#) and Terminal.

Scheduling Indiana Jones 4 (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=4665) for a 2006 start will be tricky for Spielberg, who next heads to Europe to shoot his untitled drama about the aftermath of the 1972 Munich Olympics for Universal and DreamWorks, and is expected to follow in January with a DreamWorks film about Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War, to star Liam Neeson.

As much as I would love a new Indy film, Ford is getting too old and from the sound of it Spielbergs plate is full.

gotta say i feel the same about Ford,rumour is he'll have a younger side kick,that could work but it could be a disaster

The idea of geriatirc Indy isnt very appealing. :(

played by Tony Jaa ? actually i heard it might be a female

[Big Dirty Ogre]

short round barely ever acts, although he still works in the industry.

he's doing the goonies sequel, though.

maybe ernie reyes jr could take over the role?
he was awesome in The Rundown.

[The Question]

if the movie is set in the 1960s or 70s, the harrison is the right age.

[DorkyFresh]

Ford needs a good movie....his last few stunk.

[dpm07]

As much as I like Harrison Ford, it only goes to show that his star has plummeted so far as to be reduced to doing Indy IV. This should have been made a long time ago. Harrison Ford is awesome, but he's getting a little long in the tooth. One can actually blame this on Lucas, as he has been turning away every script that came on for Indy IV.

[Dr. Evil]

Harrison Ford is starting to get up there. The further the film is delayed, the likelyhood that it will not happen.

As for the other film mentioned, Rush Hour 3, it's too bad that film won't happen now that Chris Tucker has backed out. Maybe he backed out because he realizes that he does not deserve to make Tom Cruise type money ($20 million a picture).

[Rizpower]

if the movie is set in the 1960s or 70s, the harrison is the right age.
Cause you know Raiders was made 40 years ago.

[Skaigear2]

Rush Hour 3 can happen without Tucker, just give Jackie new partners say someone like Tony Jaa and Chris Rock. It will be equally as funny.

[Rizpower]

Not at all. That would totally fail.

[black_dust]

Hmmm this is all about the money and not a love of the film its self, if they loved the film they would leave it as it is!

[The Question]

Cause you know Raiders was made 40 years ago.

okay, mabey if it was set in the 50s or 60s. jeez.

[Erundur]

Damn I was really looking forward to a Rush Hour 3 :(, the last two films were hilarious :up:

But for Indy 4, I guess it depends on how the story flow. I guess they could put some extra make-up on ford to make him look younger.

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Don't WORRY!
George'll just CGI Harrison's face! :)

Kind of like a reverse of Matt Damon in the end of Saving Private Ryan.

[Jochimus]

Sorry, but the title of this thread just makes me laugh.

[TheVileOne]

I still say this movie isn't going to happen. They waited too damn long. And it keeps getting delayed and delayed.

[Wilhelm-Scream]

I still say this movie isn't going to happen. They waited too damn long. And it keeps getting delayed and delayed.George was the one who kept holding it back,fact.
Subconsciously,it was because he felt insecure about his abilities after the reaming the first 2 prequels got.
But now that ROTS has gotten a ton of good reviews,and done well B.O.-wise,he'll go ahead and push for INDY 4.

[Mike]

So Chris doesnt want to make 20 mil on a movie that's destined to be a hit? He hasnt made a hit since Rush Hour 2. Oh well, again we are blessed with waisted talent. I hope Chris Rock, Dave Chapelle, Tracey Morgan, and other black talented comedians dont sell out like Tucker and other black comedians did. What Crap!

Since when was Tracey Morgan talented?

[Mike]

You're from Texas what do you know. LOL! Tracey Morgan is funny as hell."I'm a little dutch girl dressed in Blue!" HAHAHHAHAHA

[terry78]

Man, Chris....what's going on with you, man? I seriously wanted to see this one, as it was supposed to take place in Africa and France, which would've been hilarious. And for a guy that hasn't worked since 2001, and the fact that this flick would've taken in more than 100 million for sheer name value and morbid curiosity alone, Tucker would've been worth the 20 mil.

[Lord Blackbolt]

What's his deal anyway. Is he some total weirdo that hates his fame?? First he was going to do that movie where he was going to be the first Black President, then Chris Rock beat him to it. Then the only thing he's done since Rush Hour2 was an appearance in a Micheal Jackson video. Now he's appearing at Micheals trial. I know he found religion and stuff, but I think he's lost his mind.

He's not a hard worker, he received $20 mill for Rush Hour 2, enough for ALL of us here to share for our lifetime.

Insecure about what? He ain't writing or directing it.

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Insecure about his own judgement. (He thought JarJar was going to be a fan-favorite,hell-O? )

[Mike]

How in the hell do you back out of Rush Hour 3 ? FREAKING RUSH HOUR3!!!!! He backed out of more movies then Guess who's president. He was also going to star in double O Soul, but he backed out of that too. Man, Tucker needs to jump on the ball. :down:

[Rage]

I think that an Indy 4 might be good. Harrison Ford has proven that he can still do action at this age...

Jar-Jar was popular with the fans. You just have to be under 10yrs old and slightly retarded to enjoy him though.

Lucas created Binks for kiddies. They all loved it. Infact, he made TPM for kiddies. Once again, they all loved it. He didn't do TPM or AOTC for nostalgic 70's children.

[Charley Chalk]

gotta say i feel the same about Ford,rumour is he'll have a younger side kick,that could work but it could be a disaster

Naturally, it totally depends on how it is written and who is cast. It should be a guy, rather than a female;I'm not big on Tomb Raider type tough chicks.....that's so cliche now.

One of the things i loved about the Indy trilogy was that it was somewhat misogynist, sexist and stereotyped......just like the old T.V serials and shallow adventure novels pre-1950. I hope they don't make this modern age and politically correct, cos that ain't Indy.

And i can't agree with some people here that Ford should be replaced! In an ideal world, they wouldn't be making this film. Second best would've been to have made this no later than 1995. Still, this film will be HUGE.

[snap-hiss]

Good news. At Celebration he had just received the script, but had not read it, as he said he was afraid it wouldn't live up to his expectations.

Chris Tucker does not deserve Will Smith/Tom Cruise/Tom Hanks type money, because he has not made a film since Rush Hour 2 in 2001!

Hey the 4 and 6 year old children I know...LOVE Jar Jar and the pod racing scene...I can't get them to watch the rest of the movie!!

guys, guys, guys... the film is ABOUT indy being an old man. ford isn't too old to play an older indiana jones and they said they wouldn't do it unless all three men agreed the script was as good as or better than the other films. try havin high hopes for somethin other than batman for a change :0)

writer william goldman once said that in order for a film to be good, EVERYBODY involved but do a great job. over 1,000 people work on a hollywood film. to blame the actor for the film being bad is ridiculous and unfortunately very common. ford did a good job acting in BOTH of those films. how much money they drew doesn't determine how good they were as films. ford did some pretty good action scenes in hollywood homicide, and totally showed up josh hartnett on comedic acting as well. unfortunately, the movie was BADLY written and the soundtrack was so distractlingly annoying you couldn't care about the film. k-19 was HUGE with older males. i don't understand how everybody is saying ford is too old or can't make good films anymore. it's not UP TO HIM to MAKE anything! he's the actor!

[Wolfwood]

Damn you Tucker, you better get in there and make that damn movie. :mad: Although if he doesn't, here's hoping Chappelle replaces him.

That tired old line is bologna.

Whatever, the fact remains that kiddies loved TPM as a film, pod-racing and everything Jar-Jar related in particular. I don't know what your point is http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif You do realise this film wasn't called Star Wars Episode 1:The trade dispute, or Star Wars Episode 1:The Jedi staff meeting, right? They were 'parts' of the film, and subsequentley had less coverage than Anikin, Jar Jar and that boring pod-race.

If they're for the kids,why is Darth Vader on the cover of the new Rolling Stone,and why do Playboy interviews.

http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif .......Why is Darth Vader doing interviews and photo shoots for Playboy and Rolling Stone? Oh my God......First of all, a rather obvious point;ROTS is the 'darker' of the three. To quote Lucas,'I made 1&2 as light as possible, so that i was allowed to make 3 as dark as i wanted'. Secondly, because Star Wars is a worldwide phenomenom, appealing to all ages(disregarding Jar Jar or 'adult' trade disputes), it has graced the covers of just about every magazine from 'Teen world' to 'National Enquirer' to 'GQ mens's magazine'. All three film are marketed toward all age groups, but it doesn't mean they are made for all age groups. However, in each film there is something for everyone.

TPM was made with children heavily in mind, and it hit the spot. Just as it hit the right spot with millions off children in 1977. You've all grown up a bit since, so you're bound to feel neglected that the humour doesn't appeal to you.


And believe it or not http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif ,when you're good,your comedy is universal.
*cough*Pixar*ahem*

Comedy isn't universal, because there are so many levels to it. I doubt little 4yr old girls will be humoured by Richard Prior, for example. Anyhow, thing slike Pixar.....well, again, there are things for adult and things for children. You can't make the same joke for both an 8yr old and a 35yr old.


and who's PAYING for all those youngsters' tickets? Hmmmmmm
And why does George think beheadings and dismemberment are appropriate for children?

what a load of B.S.

Who's paying? Who gives a ****.

And George doesn't think beheadings and dimenmberment are appropiate for kids http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif. As i said earlier, TPM and AOTC were made as light as possible so that ROTS could be as dark as possible. You'll notice the rating has changed from a U or PG to a 12a......if he was really bothered about kiddies having nightmares he wouldn't have had beheadings and children genocide in the film.

[Wilhelm-Scream]

And George doesn't think beheadings and dimenmberment are appropiate for kids http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif.Don't roll your eyes at me.Let me "re-aquaint" you with some aspects of Star Wars.

if you like the crappy prequels,that's great!I'm jealous of you.I'd rather like them,myself :(
But don't for a second say that George made the saga for kids,and then say that he doesn't think it's appropriate to show kids dismemberment and beheadings.

Let's get back on topic, please.

Does anyone know what the premise of the new Indy film will be or the time period that it will be in? I am of the particular mind that it will most likely follow the previous films in terms of subliminal themes; i.e Ark of Covenant, Stones of Shankhar, and The Holy Grail.

Does anyone know what location the primary focus of the story is going to be? If I had that, I might be able to ascertain the premise of the film based on the potential story building artifacts of the area.

Secondly, i forgot about all the dismemberment action that went down in previous films, but i don't care.

Update on the Indiana Jones 4 Script

Source: USA Today (http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2005-06-12-afi-star-wars_x.htm?POE=LIFISVA)
June 13, 2005



USA Today talked to Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford during AFI's 33rd Life Achievement Awards gala saluting "Star Wars" creator George Lucas. Spielberg said screenwriter Jeff Nathanson is readying a script for Indiana Jones 4 (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=4665) by summer's end.

Asked whether Ford's real-life lady Calista Flockhart would play Indy's new leading lady, the actor said, "She would of course make her own decision." Flockhart said she would definitely sign on if offered the role. "Oh, yes. If I could kick his (butt), absolutely!"

It was previously reported that both Lucas and Spielberg had signed off on the script and that Ford had not read it yet. Lucas recently summoned Nathanson to his Bay Area headquarters, where they went over the draft. The writer also got notes from Spielberg before continuing on to finish the script.

"I know this sounds like something that we've been saying for 15 years, but I'm hoping that we're going to see something in a couple of months," Kennedy told [url="http://www.nowplayingmag.com/content/view/1839/2/"]Now Playing Magazine (http://javascript<b></b>:reportA4EBannerActivity(). "Jeff Nathanson is working on the script right now; I will say this: If it comes in and we're all happy with it, it will be more than likely the next thing we do."

Kennedy suggested that while the screenplay is by and large complete, there is still some "finesse" to be added to it. She also did not think that Harrison Ford's age would negatively affect the film. "Certainly we're not writing the script as though 20 years old. You know, Sean Connery spent a lot of time in the Bond role and whatnot. I think it's great that we can go make another Indiana Jones movie and Indy can be a little older. I think playing with that is a good thing."

Kennedy would not reveal any more details about the story, other than that it takes place in the late '40s. That would make Dr. Jones chronologically about 10 years older than in [i]The Last Crusade. While Ford is actually 18 years older this time around, it shouldn't be impossible to pull off.

Chan Says Tucker Holding Up Rush Hour 3

Source: Associated Press (http://apnews.myway.com/article/20050710/D8B8AETG1.html)
July 10, 2005



The Associated Press caught up with Jackie Chan (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=10314#), who says that Rush Hour (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=10314#) 3 is not moving forward because his co-star of the first two films (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=10314#), Chris Tucker, is making too many demands.

"He wants too much power. [New Line Cinema] hasn't obliged. He wants final editing rights and the final look at the movie (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=10314#) and so on," Chan said.

Chan called Tucker a "good friend" but questioned whether he had the stature to be so demanding.

"He's still a new actor," Chan added. "How many movies (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=10314#) has he made? Two movies have already made him very famous and made him a lot of money."

"He needs to learn slowly," he added.

[The Kid]

screw tucker. Jackie's the real star anyway. That guy's just a big mouth with a human body attached to it.:mad: He screwed up friday and now he's doing it again with rush hour. WTH, man??

"I have picked up plenty of bumps, bruises and cuts over the years. I have injured a shoulder and torn a hamstring - that sort of thing. But I have got so used to taking a battering, on screen as in life, that I feel anything is possible," he said.

Is a YOUNG INDIANA JONES movie in the works???


Ahoy, squirts! Quint (quint@aintitcool.com) here with an interesting rumor... I'll let you read the heads up we got below, but I have some thoughts on it below, so stick around!

I work BLEEP at an international software company, and learned some news that might be of interest to you. At a recent all-hands meeting, we discussed what we're working on in the coming year. During the meeting, we learned that we will develop for LucasArts a series of new Young Indiana Jones learning games set from 1916-1919 that will be released to coincide with a 2007 Young Indiana Jones movie.

We were told that the information about the movie came straight from George Lucas to one of our executives.

This is the first I'd heard of this movie, so I thought I'd share.

If you use this, call me Spence.

Now there are a few things about this I'd like to talk about... It's quite possible that Lucas is wanting to launch a YOUNG INDY movie, but I think it's probably more likely that he'd want this series of learning games as support for the long in the pipe-line INDIANA JONES 4. I've heard nothing solid (yet) about INDY 4, but there are some considerable rumblings within Paramount that the stars might be aligning, the chambers in the giant lock finally falling into place and that we may indeed be seeing INDIANA JONES 4 going into official production.

If that is true, then it is entirely possible that this confirms INDY 4 for a 2007 release. If the above rumor is 100% on the mark and this isn't about INDY 4, then we can look forward to a YOUNG INDY movie. Either way, we win... Or at least us that still have fond memories of the YOUNG INDIANA JONES tv series do. What do you folks think of all this?

[LordSuperhero]

Totally Fake, if there is any truth to this article, is that the Young Indiana Jones Movies (TV Shows) will be released on DVD in 2007

What do you all think of this great news?!

[Motown Marvel]

yay....a february release date seems like an odd month to release the film. seems like this should be a summer movie. hope it all works out great and we get an awesome film.

[Hunter Rider]

http://www.latinoreview.com/

‘Gareth’ alerted that during a recent promotional tour, a source that is very close to the production confirmed that the script for Indiana Jones 4 has been approved by Lucas, Spielberg, and Ford. Below is more info on what ‘Gareth’ tells us:

The Source (Whose Identity I am protecting) said that the current status is that contracts are being negotiated and the ball is rolling. I have learned that the deals are heavily back loaded with the three principals getting points, or a share of profits from ticket, DVD, and other revenue.

Other interesting points is that currently, Sean Connery is not slated to appear in the new film. This is great news for fans that feared the worst when Lucas rejected the last script. I learned that the main concern was that the film took to long to get to the action, and that the final hour of the proposed film would have been too expensive.

Look for Indiana Jones 4 in the Summer of 07.

[Hunter Rider]

yay....a february release date seems like an odd month to release the film. seems like this should be a summer movie. hope it all works out great and we get an awesome film.
It will change,my bet is that a mistake has been made in the article and that the shoot start date in Feb 2006

[Galactus]

It's less competition in February, so maybe it could be a good idea to release it then, even if I admit that it feels strange for this kind of typical summer-entertainment

[Kevin Roegele]

There is no way Indiana Jones IV will be released in february. It will be a summer movie, or at the most a Chistmas one. Feb 2 could a date relating to the start of shooting.

[LordSuperhero]

Actually LatinoReview's is bogus, I have talked around and its like an AICN bogus story.

[Movies205]

I woudln't mind Sean Connery sitting this one out since I believe it's best the father was only in one of the films.

[Wilhelm-Scream]

plus, now Harrison Ford looks older than Connery which would be confusing.

[dpm07]

Does anyone have any idea of the proposed premise or plot? I am sure it will follow in the same vein as the others (which is cool), but I wondered if anyone had heard anything specific with regard to time period (50's - 60's?) or actual plot.

[LordSuperhero]

I have been hearing its about Roswell, here is more information on all the indy 4 rumors and facts, http://theindyexperience.com/tie_lite/indy4.shtml

Its set in the late 1940s

[Movies205]

I think the plot line of the game "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis" would have been pretty cool :up:

[LordSuperhero]

Of course, that is still my favorite game of all time

[lockjaw]

retarted. Leave Indy alone. The guy's 63 frickin years old . . .get real people it was cool 20 years ago but that was then this is now.

[LordSuperhero]

Ford wants to do it, its not like he is being pushed. We need more adventure movies.

[Gamma Ray]

Ford is not getting any younger. They need to hurry this up. :cool:

[gregtestagent]

If Ford gives the script a nod then you know it's gonna be good!

[Gamma Ray]

If Ford gives the script a nod then you know it's gonna be good!


Umm... Right... Like K-19: The Widowmaker and Hollywood Homicide? If anything, he's been choosing ***** lately.

[Wilhelm-Scream]

it'll be really depressing to watch unless they do some cgi enhancements on Harrison's face.

[LordSuperhero]

K-19 was good, Hollywood Homicide, he wasnt expecting like an Oscar nod. Maybe he just wanted to have fun :)

Hollywood makeup does a amazing things so dont be nervious about that.

[Hunter Rider]

Actually LatinoReview's is bogus, I have talked around and its like an AICN bogus story.

Well im not sure of Latino Reviews credibility but i bet there summer 2007 date is right as opposed to that Feb 2nd date from the other site

[LordSuperhero]

Actually, thats what I am here. The one from LR isnt exclusive to that site, its provided at DarkHorizons aswell. Its a bogus story trying to promote their story.

The "insider" provided this story around the web, its just DH and LR have posted it.

I have checked my sources with TheIndyExperience website and its true, I know February is wierd, but thats what Paramount says.

[Hunter Rider]

I still bet right now that there is no way in hell Indy 4 will be released in febuary,someone has made a mistake you can bank on it

[lockjaw]

63 years old people . . .

[Hunter Rider]

63 years old people . . .

Sean Conery was older when he made The Rock and that kicked ass

[GREEN =w= DAY]

it'll be really depressing to watch unless they do some cgi enhancements on Harrison's face.
they most likely will do whatever they did to Anthony Hopkins in Red Dragon. besides, for a 63 year old guy, he does not look that old. he can pass as being in his early 50s. as for the plot of the movie, last i heard it was going to be about the Spear Of Destiny. but with so many script changes these last couple of years, who really knows?

[U.S War Machine]

I think the plot line of the game "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis" would have been pretty cool :up:Yeah I read about something that it would have to do with Atlantis.

[Riggs15382]

It doesnt matter to me as long as it gets made. But I would prefer a cliffhanger like movie on the rockies

[Timstuff]

Me and my brothers had an interesting idea for a movie about Indy when he's getting older. The prize would be the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden.

Also, we worked the adult version of Shorty from Temple of Doom into the story, as well as Indy's mousey illegit daughter from an early adventure who works as an "archivist" (basically a dignified term for "librarian") at another university. Dr. Henry Jones Sr. would be the new curator of the museum because Marcus would have passed on. The badguys would be communists.

Some ancient scrolls would tell that the Garden of Eden was not destroyed during Noah's flood, but managed to survive somehow. The only way to know where it is would be to find a map of the pre-flood world, and the only one that exists is somewhere in the petrifyed hull of of Noah's Ark. So it's off to Turkey, where they scale Mount Errerat to find what's left of the most famous ship ever built. They have a violent run-in with Turkish government agents, but they are able to copy the petrified map and escape before an avalanche covers the ark in snow.

The map leads them to a massive glacier, where the garden is said to have survived. Deep under the surface, the ice has managed to act as a greenhouse that has kept the garden's many plants alive throughout the millenia. Unfortunately, they get followed by the communists. The gateway to the garden is guarded by the two "creatures" that the bible spoke of. They are massive statues hewn out of solid onyx, and one poor fool ends up tasting the "firey sword" as he attempts to cross: he gets incinerated by a wall of flame that the two statues instantly generate as he tries to cross. Indy, through some archeologist cleverness, manages to get himself and his friends through without getting torched. The soviets with their fireproof APCs though, are not far behind.

When inside the garden, Indy must face the one thing he never wants to face in his entire life: a giant, hundreds-of-feet-long Snake with a head the size of a car. After a huge action scene involving the snake, Indy manages to beat it back, and they then discover the tree of life, but there's a catch: the tree is now nothing but a dried out husk that's been dead since the dawn of man.

This moment is cut short though, by the communist soldiers. Fortunately, our worst-friend the giant snake comes back, and begins downing them like tater tots. Indy flee for the exit, and manage to escape with their lives. While Indy feels let down about coming home with no prize, and no younger than he was when he left, through his daughter he realises that there are some things other than adventures that make life worth living. Our heros then begin the long journey back to civilization. The End

[Riggs15382]

I love it.

[Timstuff]

Thanx. :D

[lockjaw]

timstuff . . .that's really great.

I'm telling him too.

That was awesome:up::up:

[Rizpower]

I have faith this can be good. Spielburg is very good at keeping Lucas from ****in' **** up. And I think Ford should get one last good chance to kick ass.

[Snowbeast]

I have mixed feelings towards this movie, Spielberg can still deliver an amazing summer movie and Lucas improved vastly on the Prequels with ROTS and I absolutely love the Indiana Jones character and all three movies, though I didn't like the TV series. What bothers me is Harrison Ford's age and the reports I read where he was told not to work out too much. The filmmakers want a less buff, older Indy. This could interfer with the action aspect of the film, I don't want a watered down Indy movie.

[Timstuff]

I just hope that they bring back Shorty to handle some of the butt-whooping Hong Kong style. :D

[Carter]

63? Who the **** cares, its Harrison Ford.

[Rizpower]

Yeah. Han Solo doesn't get older. He just nails more chicks.

[JcDc]

63? Who the **** cares, its Harrison Ford.


:up:

[JcDc]

Yeah. Han Solo doesn't get older. He just nails more chicks.



Ya know, everyone seems to like him best in SW or IJ... I must admit I'm a big fan of him in "The Fugitive"

[Darth Nata]

I wonder what actors will join Ford in this and what type of characters they would play? Obviously there will be younger characters in the movie

[Kevin Roegele]

I just hope the delay continues to a point where Harrison Ford is too old to do it. The trilogy is perfect, we don't need a tacked on, much-later episode that can't repeat the magic of the previous episodes. It would be like, oh I don't know.....Lethal Weapon 4 or Alien Resurrection or Teminator 3.

The Last Crusade = The LAST Crusade

August 3, 2005 - More good news is trickling in that should squelch doubts that one more Indiana Jones adventure could find its footing.

SKNR (http://www.sknr.net/) is reporting that "the ball is rolling" (perhaps that same one that chased Indiana in Raiders), and that contract negotiations with all the important people – Lucas, Spielberg, and Ford – are in progress. A certain amount of bargaining is to be expected – the lucrative arrangements that those three ultimately agree to will most likely include a share of the box office and DVD profits.

It is still believed that Sean Connery is not involved in the project at this point.

The Indy Experience (http://theindyexperience.com/tie_lite/august_2005.shtml#0000668) adds more details from another source: Lucas and screenwriter Jeff Nathanson should have the current script – which is by and large approved already – tweaked and production-ready by fall; and Spielberg is scheduling Indiana Jones IV to be his next project once Munich is done.

The site hears that February 2007 is the projected release date – a somewhat odd month to choose (Passion of the Christ is the only major blockbuster to ever have opened in February). SKNR suggests Summer 2007 as a more likely window for the next Indiana Jones.

[LordSuperhero]

Which old flames will Indy possibly see in his fourth outing?


Ahoy, squirts! Quint (quint@aintitcool.com) here with a little more kindling for the rumor bonfire regarding Indiana Jones 4. I know most are skeptical of this project happening, but we know for sure that Spielberg, Lucas and Ford are happy with the new screenplay from Jeff Nathanson and the word is Spielberg is penciling INDY 4 in next year, after he finishes his Lincoln picture with Liam Neeson. To add on to that, I've gotten reports from people inside of Paramount who claim to have seen some paperwork and other items with the INDY 4 title marked clearly on them, which would seem to indicate that the film is gathering steam inside Paramount as well. Unless something big shows its face to trip up the production, I'd say we're going to be seeing our favorite leather jacket, whip and fedora again.

Add on to all that this interview with Kate Capshaw that People did where she spills the beans on some possible dames showin' up in INDY 4. I personally would love to see Indiana cross paths with Marion Ravenwood again. Actually, if they really want to make me happy Indy will end up settling down Marion. She was always the best suited for him. And I will state officially right now I'll roll my eyes to such a degree they may roll right out of my head if Calista Flockhart has more than a cameo in the movie!

The stars are aligning, folks. I'm confident in Spielberg making another worthy installment to the Indiana Jones franchise, especially if he makes the film closer to the tone of RAIDERS. That was my one big problem with LAST CRUSADE, a movie I still dearly love, but it was starting down the road of self-parody. If that's the way the 4th film is planning on going, I'd rather not see it be made, but I think there's still a great Indiana Jones adventure to be had with our favorite creative team and Ford. Here's the interview excerpt!

Kate Capshaw talked to People Magazine about her career, kids, famous hubby and a new Indiana Jones. here's a bit of the interview

People : Is Steven doing another Indiana Jones?

KC : Yes, sometime next year. I believe Willie Scott's going to be making an appearance too.

People : What will that entail?

KC : I can't say. Not because Steven's sworn me to secrery, but because I really don't know yet. All I know is Willie might be coming back, Karen Allen, and possibly Calista [Flockhart]. I think Harrison's going to be outweighed by the women in the next one.

People : Who have you enjoyed working with the most?

KC : Besides Steven Spielberg? (Laughs). Sean Connery was just heaven. We made a movie called Just Cause together. I also enjoyed working with Tom Selleck on the Love Letter and of course Harrison on Indiana Jones. Dennis Quaid is also lovely - and very talented.

[BT18]

Source: The Indy Experience by: Omar Aviles



I haven't posted a good Indy rumor in a while so this seems like a good time to go ahead and do that. According to some site called PRLeap, Indian actress/model and former Miss Universe Laura Dutta has landed a role in the upcoming INDIANA JONES 4. The press release goes as follows:

Model Laura Dutta represented by ASH Models has landed a role in Indiana Jones 4. The movie is the 4th sequel in the Indiana Jones franchise and will cast Harrison Ford and Sean Connery. Indiana Jones 4 is to be directed by Steven Spielberg.

Though Miss Dutta has a three month shooting schedule, her agents from ASH Models has confirmed that she will fly to Paris during shooting to do Fashion Week.

What roll she will be playing is unknown.

First of all, it is quite a relief to know that she'll make it to Fashion Week. If she didn't make it, I would have been plenty mad. There would have been finger-pointing and nasal flaring and possibly actual steam coming out of my ears. You do NOT miss Fashion Week, people, especially when I'm about to unleash my deliciously fabulous line of hobo chic. Secondly, this press release is hinting that Dutta is one of the leads with the whole "three month shooting schedule" thing. That's a pretty bold assertion and "Rumor Mongering 101" teaches us that you have to start small with any good rumor. It probably would have been better to go with a one month or month and a half shooting schedule at most. Indy's fourth adventure may possibly make it into theaters next year. Or the year after. Or never.

[BT18]

(Quick Note: Just wanted to make note of a few errors we made in the previous story. The casting agency has two Laura Dutta's and we ran into a little confusion. Just to clear things up, Laura Dutta is not from India and did not win the Miss Universe contest. Also, the photo we posted was not of the Laura Dutta who will be in Indy 4. Our apologizes for any confusion.)

Thanks to Eddie Mishan for the update and to Noah for the original story.

Small tidbit

http://comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=11485

George Lucas (http://comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=11485#) was not able to attend because he was playing host to 15 Tuskegee Airmen to learn about his next film, Red Tails, which he'll produce. McCallum, however, did give an update on Indiana Jones 4 (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=4665) as well.

"[George is] doing 'Indiana Jones (http://comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=11485#)', the script, which he should finish by Sunday. He's meeting with Steven [Spielberg] next week to try to figure out where they are going to go and what changes they want to make on it." And what else does he have in the works? "[George has] got another idea for an animated musical, plus literally dozens of documentaries."

Tom Welling or Ashton Kutcher will get the Young Indy role

[larryfilmmaker]

Hmmm this is all about the money and not a love of the film its self, if they loved the film they would leave it as it is!

If it was all about money you'd have Indiana Jones part 16 in talks right now, not part 4. It's not about the money... Ford and Spielberg have expressed interest in doing this ONLY if the story was as good as, if not better than the original 3. I have a hard time knocking Ford's age or saying it will hurt the film because of course it's giong to be A PART OF THE FREAKIN STORY. It's not like he's gonna be trying to act 40 while he's actually 60. These are 3 of the biggest movie makers in the world, they're not retarded. Connery was an action hero when he was younger but Spielberg didn't have him beating people up and acting tough in Last Crusade. The character of Indiana Jones will have matured a great deal and personally I can't wait to see this. It's about time some of the old guns came out and taught Hollywood what REAL tough guys used to be like. No offense to the fans of Vin, Hugh, or Will Smith.

I guarantee this movie will be amazing. Ford and Spielberg are being really picky about it and yeah, they do their half ass movies from time to time but they treat this franchise with respect. Hell, it's not like Lucas is in charge like he was for Star Wars, so we can all rest easy and expect great things from a great group of veteran filmmakers.

Thats exactly how I feel. We're in for something good. Ofcourse I'd much rather them leave the franchise be but thats not happening and since it's not they really don't give me anything to be worried about (quality of product wise).

Back to the Future, well.. now thats different. The way M.J. Fox has been talking it's going straight to trash.

[larryfilmmaker]

There is no Back to the Future sequel. It was just M.J Fox talking. They already shot down rumors.

[Octoberist]

God....If this movie came out 6 years ago, I would of cared. But now, I don't really care.

And the fact that Harrison Ford is old.

"But they'll make Indy his actual age", said a nerd.

Hush I say! Dude, Harrison Ford is no longer the charismatic tough guy that we know. He's now a grumpy mumbling middle aged actor. I don't know....3 movies about Indy is good enough for me...

[Carter]

Harrison Ford is a god among men
You would be lucky if he looked in your general direction

We should all aspire to one day be like Harrison Ford

I will not sit by idly and let you badmouth Han Solo, or Indiana Jones

[Octoberist]

Carter, I'm a huge fan of Ford. Old crusty Ford.:)

I never dissed his older work. He's Han, Indiana, and Decker for God's sakes. He's the president. He's Jack Ryan.

But I feel like an Indy 4 is not needed. Will I see it? Of course!

[Carter]

Okay, just making sure you weren't bashing my childhood hero

[Jochimus]

two years?! is that the difference between "too old" and "tool f***in old"?

There is no difference. :(

Ford is 63 now. Spielberg's spent too much time making serious movies. And then, of course, there's Lucas.

They've been talking about Indy 4 for years and there's already been a few false-starts. Enough already; either get the damn thing made already or forget it.

And I wouldn't have any problem whatsoever with Ford holding them to this deadline when they don't meet it.

George Lucas on Indiana Jones 4

Source: MTV (http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1531527/story.jhtml)
May 11, 2006



MTV (http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1531527/story.jhtml) caught up with George Lucas (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=14499#) who says that Indiana Jones 4 (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=4665) will prize dialogue over decibels.

"I think Tom Cruise (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=14499#) proved that people are getting bored with that kind of stuff," Lucas said when asked about the action. "What they want to see is something different. And 'Indiana Jones (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=14499#),' if nothing else, is always different."

He says the script is finally done and the film (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=14499#) will "probably" start shooting next year.

"We're working on it, we're working on it," Lucas added. "We've been working on it for 10 years. I think it'll be a great film, but it's completely different. It's still got a lot of action, and it's still very funny. I think it works like crazy."

Lucas Wants Connery in Indiana Jones 4

http://comingsoon.net/nextraimages/lucasconneryindy4.jpg
George Lucas (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=14932#) ("Star Wars (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=14932#)") told Access Hollywood (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=14932#) that he is pushing to get Sean Connery to appear in Indiana Jones 4 (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=4665), which Lucas executive produces.

Lucas was among those honoring Connery as he received the American Film Institute's Life Achievement Award on Thursday.

"I would love him to be in the next 'Indiana Jones (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=14932#)'... maybe I can push him into it," said Lucas.

When asked if he knew whether or not Connery wanted to appear in the film, Lucas said, "I think he does."

Lucas jokingly added, "We are writing him in whether he wants to do it or not."

Connery played Professor Henry Jones, Indiana's (Harrison Ford (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=14932#)) dad, in 1989's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

[U.S War Machine]

Well Harrison Ford said he's ready to do a indiana jones 4 film.

[supzfan]

Not knowing what this movie will be about, I will venture a guess. Since Indie has already been to the Amazon, India, China, Europe and Africa, there aren't many locales left to explore. A while back I saw a documentary about The Nazis' obsession with the occult, specifically their trip to Tibet to discover hidden secrets of The Ancient Masters. Since the Indie series has drawn heavily on his fight with the Nazis it would seem this scenario would be a logical follow-up. Add the requisite artifact, specifically the Spear Of Destiny, and I think you have your movie.

[thealiasman2000]

I don't want to burst anyone's bubble, but isn't Harrison Ford too old now to play Indiana Jones again?

He's like, what, 70? Is he gonna fight Nazis with a walker and an artificial lung?

I mean, I saw "Firewall", and he got the crap beaten out of him. This ain't the '80s anymore.

First of all, its not gonna be like he will be playing a young Indian Jones. There will be no Nazi's cause it will take place in the 50s or 60s. Making him around the age he is.

He is only 64 years old and alive and kicking!

Sansweet added that David Koepp's script for Indiana Jones 4 (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=4665) is a couple of months away. They are hoping pre-production can start at the end of this year or early 2007.

[Spider-Fan]

I really hope it doesn't happen. I just can't see Ford looking like Indy again. He is too old. At least, too old to battle Nazi's. I already have 3 great Indiana Jones movies. That is all I need. I don't need to see a 4th movie, which will most likely suck.

[Iceman]

I really hope this is good.

Nobody heard the rumor about Portman playing Indy's daughter. I read it somewhere, but I sadly don't have the link.

August 21, 2006


Empire Online (http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=19382) talked to George Lucas, Steven Spielberg (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=16137#) and Harrison Ford (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=16137#) about the anticipated Indiana Jones 4 (http://comingsoon.net/films.php?id=4665), which is targeted for a 2008 release. Here are several of their comments on the fourth installment:

"We're basically going to do 'The Phantom Menace (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=16137#),'" says Lucas (stay with him here, he's making a point). "People's expectations are way higher than you can deliver. You could just get killed for the whole thing…We would do it for fun and just take the hit with the critics and the fans...But nobody wants to get into it unless they are really happy with it."

As for timing, Lucas says that filming is scheduled for mid-2007, for a 2008 release but getting the gang back together is a tricky proposition. "Before I was just working with Steven and Harrison. Now everybody's a superstar, so it's a little bit more difficult than it was then. But there's a good chance it will happen," assures Ford. "There are things left for this character to do."

I may be the only one saying this but I don't want this movie. A trilogy fits perfectly and I like the way it all ended with The Last Crusade.

Lucas: Filming `Indiana Jones 4' in 2007

By ALICIA CHANG, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 54 minutes ago

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.

Its been a long journey and its only really begun. Its taken 19 years to make it better be the best one and not turn into Episode I or The Odd Couple Part II.

lol. Well, anyway, is David Koepp the man responsible for this? Last I heard Spielberg had hired Keopp to re-write Indy 4. If so, then this man added another film to his already impressive resume.

Indiana Jones 4 (2008) (pre-production) (screenplay)
War of the Worlds (2005) (screenplay)
Secret Window (2004) (screenplay)
Spider-Man (2002) (screenplay)
Panic Room (2002) (written by)
The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) (screenplay)
Mission: Impossible (1996) (screenplay) (story)
The Shadow (1994) (written by)
The Paper (1994) (written by)
Carlito's Way (1993) (screenplay)
Jurassic Park (1993) (screenplay)
Death Becomes Her (1992) (written by)

[Shifty]

BTW, so they approved the David Keopp re-writes? Interesting!

I seem to recall that he wasn't the last writer on the project. Ford has Manhunt in pre-production where he plays the man who tracks down Lincoln's assassin and Spielberg finally will make his Lincoln biopic, its in pre-production. So Indy 4 probably will start filming in the summer.

[Catman]

I seem to recall that he wasn't the last writer on the project.

Really? If so, then Lucas must have brought in the last writer. I recall Spielberg saying that he hired David Koepp to do rewrites.

Ford has Manhunt in pre-production where he plays the man who tracks down Lincoln's assassin and Spielberg finally will make his Lincoln biopic, its in pre-production. So Indy 4 probably will start filming in the summer.

Um...I see some changes being made. So, Spielberg and Ford have 6-8 months to complete their Lincoln projects then another 8 months to do Indy 4? I guess...they could pull it off. But, thats gonna be some crazy schedule. Its basically 16 months of non-stop work.

Well maybe for Spielberg but the filming for most movies takes 2-3 months. Manhunt was announced awhile ago and has a 2007 release date so I'm sure they'll start filming in Jan/Feb. Indiana Jones 4 would probably take 3 months of filming and Spielberg has said it will rely on very little CGI so it fits in with the look of the previous three films. The Lincoln Biopic has been attached to Spielberg for a awhile so I'm sure they've done some pre-production. Spielberg is used to churning out two movies a year so he'll be fine.

Here's a pic of Ford playing 50 year old Indiana from the TV series.

Regardless - I await this film with much anticipation, I just pray Lucas doesnt screw it up like the second Star Wars trilogy. Hopefully Speilberg and Ford will keep it on track.

Harrison Ford will die before this movies made lol. Is it gonna be set in the 60s cause if its still in the 40s with indy having aged it will not make sense.

[Dirty Sanchez]

Looks like alot of people arent looking forward to a new Indiana Jones movie! I must admit Harrison Ford is getting on too much to be a real action hero - he`s 64! But, if done right then this could be a worthy addition to the franchise.
As long as Ford doesnt get subjected to ridiculous scenes involving over the top action and they keep it believable then it could work.

The character of Indiana Jones is much loved and I for one would like to see as many stories as possible. What would people think if they turned it into a series along the lines of James Bond where the actor changed every few movies?
Some die hards would be against it as I for one couldnt see anyone other than Ford in the role. However, I could get used to a new actor if they chose the right one.

Out of interest - who do members here think would make a good replacement for a younger Dr Jones? ( Should Lucas & Spielberg decide to reboot the franchise - although I cant see it happening myself )

This is ridiculous. How in the hell is Harrison Ford, a man who will be almost 70, expected to even contemplate doing a role as physical as this. I agree with many people, that Harrison is the only guy who could ever play Indy, and for that reason they should just not make this movie.

[Octoberist]

I have to admit that the young Harrison Ford had that good looking Steve McQueen look.

Some people can pull if off when they get older. For example, I think De Niro has aged very well, along with Sean Connery. Al Pacino did not.

I'm saying that Ford and Pacino has fallen into the second catergory. Of course they can always put tons of makeup on Ford or CGI his wrinkles out.

But the bottom line that, physcially, Ford barely looks like his youthful self. Hell, he looks like a grumpy old man who slightly balding. BALDING? Check out his photos at imdb.com as of late.

I'm being cyncial and I'll be in line for Indy 4 for sure. But I'm worried. Ford in recent years tend to 'slur' out his lines in a monotone voice. I swear. Where's the charisma that FOrd had when he was Han Solo?

Perhaps, you might be thinking "He's playing older characters now." NO...Dustin Hoffman still kicks ass, playing older characters.

I'm just saying that..I'm a huge fan of Ford and even I wish him the best. He might surprise me. But for the past 10 years, Ford's acting has significantly changed (phone-in performances) and he looks old (they should of done this movie when in Ford's Jack Ryan days). I hope he can change my opinion..

Whoever mentioned River Phoenix - that would have been quite an interesting turn for the franchise if he were still alive.

I wonder if Lucas & Spielberg still plan to follow the rumour about a younger member of the Jones family. Wasnt it mentioned somewhere there may be another Jones Jr? Either to replace Ford in the heavy action scenes or just to spin off a `Son of.........` in the near future! God, I hope not!
I could bear another (good) actor playing Indiana, but NOT a `Son of...` spin-off!

DS

[Kevin Roegele]

Even if he looks younger (I'd say he could pass for early 50s) the point is that he has the body of a guy approaching seventy.

Whatever Spielberg and Ford himself say, he won't be doing many stunts this time.

[black_dust]

whats the decade this is going to be in? 50s? 60s?

[Fanticon]

...so...with a year and a half away...lucas thinks he'll wrap up the 4th movie in that amount of time? Then again he's not directing...so that makes sense.

The big question is, apart from, 'Is Ford too old?' is how Spielberg will approach the film given that he's now in his 'dark' period and it's fourteen years since his last big family-friendly adventure (even The Lost World is dark, ominous and broody). Since then he's been making downbeat and depressing films about serious subjects, be it war, religion or identity, with two average comedies forced inbetween.

Maybe he's in the mood to go old-school again. :huh:

Neither of my grandparents are 70. They're barley into their 60's. My great grandmother is like 82.
