'Indiana Jones 4' Finally A Go

Steev writes: "Canoe.ca is reporting that Indiana Jones 4 (they have a title, but don't want to say it yet) is a go. It'll be Speilberg's next project. They say that they were just waiting for the right screenplay. Rejected ideas were Indiana Jones And The Sons Of Darkness and Indiana Jones And The Garden Of Life."

    I think it's reasonably obvious - Spielberg had been eyeing this script ever since the game was published by LucasArts, and for good reason - It's got all the important Indy elements, with what I feel to be a much more gripping and encompassing storyline than Temple of Doom or Last Crusade.

    If you haven't already played this one, give it a shot - It's well worth it, even if it runs in DOS. And hey...while you're at it, play through Full Throttle and The Dig again too, why don't you?

  2. Harrison's comments on it by b.foster · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Having watched Harrison Ford's speech the other night during the Golden Globe awards, I am confident that he is in no position to take on a role like this. Consider the following points:
    • During his speech, he expressed a need to take some time off to console his daughter, who is recoving from leukemia.
    • He looks like somebody's grandpa and appears to be quite depressed.
    • For the most part, as he stated, he has retired from acting and will probably only play bit parts in the future.
    • His brush with cancer two years ago took a tremendous toll on him and he continues to recover.
    The speculation in Hollywood circles is that a young, hot stud like Brad Pitt might take the lead (Indy) role.
