According to this page, Ford noted in a book that it was dysentery while Spielberg at least once said in an interview that is was "the local food", thus perhaps the confusion.

"I don't know if the pants still fit, but I know the hat will"

This sounds like a reference to the (supposed) fact that Harrison stapled his hat to his head for stunts in earlier Indiana Jones films.

# Guns, and Indy saying how much he hates them.

Excuse me ? Are we talking about Indiana "do you fancy saber dance all you like I'll just shoot you down with my gun thank you very much" Jones here ?

Thomas--

... about flying snakes (the one in small plane in the first movie doesn't count!). :)

from the article: The films will not be sold separately, at least initially, according to Fox representatives.
Movies from the Indiana Jones trilogy were not released until October 2003, and then only in a DVD boxed set for $69.98 retail.
Looks like Lucas is following that marketing strategy.

DVDs are always something you can buy unless you come up with something else. Indiana Jones remastered movies could be a good choice for you who haven't got that already. Personally I watch much rather a high quality DVD than som crappy version from the net.

Here.

Harrison Ford is currently 59 years old, and seems to do only one real movie per year.

Patriot Games (1992)
Fugitive, The (1993)
Clear and Present Danger (1994)
Sabrina (1995)
Devil's Own, The (1997)
Air Force One (1997)
Six Days Seven Nights (1998)
Random Hearts (1999)
What Lies Beneath (2000)
K-19: The Widowmaker (2002)

Now, on that list, I've taken out all the miscellaneous TV appearances and everything else that does not seem to take a major commitment as a movies does. But I do seem to remember reading a few years back that Ford does try to limit himself to one movie a year to spend more time with his family. So, if he has signed to this deal, it would appear to be his movie for the year 2002. (Assuming the K-19 Movie was filmed in 2001.)

If Sean Connery were to return, he would most likely have to be 'aged' 20 years or so, and thusly limited to a bit part in the movie because he is now 71, and only 12 years older than his 'son.' That of him being Indy's father worked once back in 1989, but I doubt it would work again.

In any case, Denholm Elliott who played Dr. Marcus Brody in 'Raiders' and 'Last Crusade' died in 1992 and thusly, won't return. However, John Rhys-Davies could possibly return as Sallah. How feasible that is, I don't know... (but both characters were great) And who will be cast as the new love interest girl in the movie? And will they attempt to close the door on future movies in this one considering that we already know from the Young Indiana Jones that Indy lives to an old age, and gets an eye patch?

(When are they going to release the rest of the Young Indy adventures too?)
