And what's the status of the new Indiana Jones?

Lucas: "I talked to Steven while I was in Hawaii, and he said the script is done and he was going to send it to me when I got back, which was yesterday. It isn't on my desk today and he's coming up tomorrow to see Star Wars, so I assume he'll bring it with him."

You guys do well when you collaborate in Hawaii. Things tend to work out there.

Lucas: "Yeah. We're frantically trying to finish War of the Worlds at the same time. We'll see. I look forward to reading it and seeing if it's what we laid out in the first place. You never know."

Is there anything we can reveal about it?

Lucas: "It's...um...No."

You had an idea of what was planned before they wrote the script?

Lucas: "Oh yeah. I came up with this idea doing Young Indy, which has got to be about seven or eight years ago, and we've been through a number of scripts--six or eight scripts. Six scripts, two rewrites. So it's been down the path. There were certain aspects of it that Steven and Harrison [Ford] didn't like, and so we changed those, and then we laid out a version and it didn't come out the way it was supposed to, and then we did another version and it didn't come out, so we've just been going through this development hell, which happens once in a while. We'll see. When it comes out, it'll be different. Different, but the same."

And Harrison's staying in shape all this time, right, in case he has to take his shirt off?

Lucas: "No, he's plays an older person in this."

Is it true that there may be a younger person in this, poised to take over?

Lucas: "It's possible. Not really to take over."

But someone to create new movies with?

Lucas: "No, it wasn't meant to be that way. But I guess that's a possibility. It's really to wrap it up. Just desperately trying to put things together that work. You need characters to make the film work. It's not just an adventure story. There's actually got to be human relationships in it."

Are you still planning on bringing back some of the other characters from the previous films?

Lucas: "Yeah."

Can you say who?

Lucas: "No." [laughs]

Mrs. Spielberg, perhaps?

Lucas: "Well, there are a lot of rumors out there. Some of them are true. True-ish."


Please dear God or Buddha or Bob or whomever... don't let them F*** up Indiana Jones!!!!!!!

I've said it once and I'll say it again - this movie will never be made.

It might be made, but I don't think Harrisson Ford can pull this up... He was in his mid-40s when he did the original indy films...

For what its worth, what *I'd* like to see is an Indy adventure in which Harrison doesn't try to pull off being young himself but plays it closer to his real age. Set the film during the Cold War (giving it almost a 'Bond' quality) with new challenges but throwing in some familiar stuff like having Nazi war criminals or something. Basically bridge the gap between the original movies (the OT.. lol) and the 'Young Indy' series in which, continuity-wise, we know Indy is alive into modern times (albeit very old). At the finale of my film I'd like to have him lose his eye, again bringing continuity to the series.

This is what I believe they'll do. I've read in the past that they did not want to try to make Ford look young for it, so hopefully they'll age him gracefully.

Dead Sea Scrolls, perhaps? Being chased by radical Christian fundamentalists?

Heh...yeah, that's pretty much how I imagine that new movie with Orlando Bloom about the Crusades. In the end it'll be: Noble Muslim, evil Christian, that's all you need to know.

And two and a half hours wasted watching horrible acting from Orlando Bloom. Yeah, Ridley Scott or not, I'm skipping it.

LOL...I barely tolerated Bloom as Legolas. Couldn't stand him in Troy (although he looks a lot shorter in that movie...maybe standing next to Eric Bana?).

NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

this has the "ruination of the Indy movies" written all over it. There must be a way to stop this! We can't let Lucas do to Indy what he has done to Star Wars!!

3 movies in the series is enough. We've got to stop him!!!

I agree totally, and I'm sure that's what they thought at the time.

If you consider that by the time they actually get this film released, it's likely to be 2009 which = 20 years since TLC. You should NEVER go that long between sequels.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Let's see if we have any examples of that... Son of The Mask, 11 years... Terminator 3, 12 years... Godfather 3, 17 years... Even though I did enjoy Godfather 3, it's not bas as people say it is.

But now that I think about it, I don't want to see another IJ movie. there's only one Indy, Harrisson Ford, and he is in NO condition to be Indy again. He might play an older Indy, but who wants to see that? He is older now than Sean Connery was in TLC!

On the topic of "Kingdom of Heaven" - I'm way more excited for this, flawed as it may be, than Ep III. Just me I guess.

That's funny.

But I want the gun turret all the same. And Gundark still gets "shotgun."
