Indiana Jones To Arrive Again in 2005
Dolemite_the_Wiz writes "The Raider.net reports that the release date for the next Indiana Jones Movie (tentatively titled 'Indiana Jones 4') is, according to Steven Spielberg, "...going to come out probably for the July 4th weekend of 2005...". The movie looks like it will be set in the 1950s and include just about every main character from the first three films. For more links about this movie, check this search result from Cinescape. Secondly, IndianaJones.com reports that the First three films in the Indiana Jones Trilogy will be released on November 4th. These films have to be one of the most requested DVD releases (probably next to the Original 'Star Wars' trilogy and the first two 'Godfather' movies) ever. "

Hope that Sean Connery will be the 'old old Indiana'.

Harrison Ford escapes from the old folks' home in his wheelchair and finds the Fountain of Middle Age in a Roman temple, where a 19-year-old nymphomaniac falls hopeless in love with him for 17 minutes and then he flies away in his airplane.

I remember reading that Mark Hamil was talked about for playing Indiana's long lost evil brother. Any truth to it?
Indiana Jones will be using such popular consumer products as Geritol, Fix-a-Dent, Ben Gay, and Preperation H. The people representing those "Rascal" mobility scooters didn't put up enough cash to get into the movie.... Just as well, as the pace would be pretty slow with Harrison Ford buzzing along at a brisk 2 mph on one of those electric scooters.
Who did what now?
**Spoiler from the Downloaded Kazaa Version**
Remember that scene in the bazaar with the sword wielding Arabian dude, you know, the one who wants to slice Indy open like a frozen tauntaun?
Well, in the original Indy just blasts him with his pistol, however, in keeping with the whole "harrison ford shoots second" motiff, Spielburg has decided to let the sword guy swing at him.
This has the undesirerable side effect of Indy losing his left hand, which has been digitially removed and replaced with a walkie talkie. Years later in the fourth movie, Indy is replaced with a slightly (okay, an extremely) sexier version of himself as a woman, and must engage her in fights that involve her wrapping her legs around him that would leave most contortionists in wheelchairs, slightly before judgement day occurs...
oh, wait, wrong overdue sequel with a star way too old for the part...
This is my sig. Its pathetic.
Well if you can't you will just have to go above the system and get the divx.
As long as they don't bring back that little annoying kid in the Yankee cap in Temple Of Doom.
Oh, I can't help quoting you because everything that you said rings true
Yes, folks, get ready for Harry Potter and the Temple of Doom!

Harry Potter VIII? The planned run of the series is 7 books.
They're nearly cheaper than real actors and can be reverse aged more easily.
So I imagine (commences pure fiction) they could use a youthful actor to body double for Harrison and the rest, and paste in Harrison's face scraped from anything he's made where he looks less cragfaced (Star Wars 1977 mode?).
Melted characters could easily be returned this way also. Just like in soap operas. In fact if you've been melted and revived, you'd have to have had lots of plastic surgery right?
So lets have indiana jones and the last unicorn, fight the gremlins in the kremlin...
And that's my final fantasy.
-- it must be true, it's on the internet.
Uh Oh -- Big Mistake!

It's all good.
How about
"Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Retirement Home"
or
"Indiana Jones: The Temple of Viagra"
or
"Indiana Jones: The Last Erection"
The villan from this one will be Interpol, tracking Indiana down for 20 years worth of smuggling national treasures to sell to museums. High adventure ensues in U.S. Extradition Court, as Indy faces his greatest nemesis, Warren "Eyepatch" Fineburg, a ruthless UN junior legal secretary with a jaunty BLACK fedora and a bullwhip-like fountain pen. Indy's only hopes for exoneration lies in a ragtag legal team consisting of a whiny showgirl, an ex-Russian general turned Hindu monk, and a sassy orangutan lawyer. Indy will need all his skill and luck to survive the climactic out-of-court settlement on the ledge of the courthouse clock tower!
I trusted my heart to you once Lucas, and you let me down. I'll approach this with appropriate levels of guarded enthusiasm.

"the First three films in the Indiana Jones Trilogy will be released"
Since, in any rational universe, a trilogy doesn't have a 'first three films', shouldn't that be the 'increasingly inaccurately named Indiana Jones Trilogy'?
Please George Lucas, in the name of Howard The Duck, make Spielberg shoot the movie digitally. The stone age is over.
Short Round is the Jar-Jar Binks of the Indiana Jones movies:
broken English coupled with nails-on-a-chalkboard voice
cloying attempts to appear cute
useless in most life-threatening or otherwise important situations
The major difference is that it is difficult to wish harm on Short Round because he is a little kid - not so with Jar-Jar. I had no trouble wishing Han Solo would show up and shoot first.
I want to drag this out as long as possible. Bring me my protractor.
I am an Indian..guess I will get back into the habbit of eating monkey brains.
What's under yellowstone?
As someone who utterly loves IMDB, I completely agree with your assessment of the forums. Sometimes when checking out the info on a movie or actor/actress I accidently see the titles of the last few postings to that particular discussion and immediately loose a few IQ points. It generally takes a few days to return to normal (in the case of T3, I wandered around aimlessly in the woods for a month...so you might want to be even more careful)
Instead of shooting the crazed Arab, he points a walkie-talkie at him and says, "BANG!"

"wan" is Japanese for "woof".
If the current trend of declining plot made up for with increasingly dazzling special effects, by the time these movies come out they'll just take your $8.50, give you a box of sparklers, and chase you around the theater a couple of times.
Have you seen my stapler?
Woof belt? There's a translation I wish I didn't know.
Just as there is no movie "Highlander II", there is no Godfather 3. We've all agreed it's best that way.
In the "new and improved" version, the spinning sword dude shoots first.
And misses.
something bigger..like SCO's code in linux?
I just can't watch the original.
That was classic intercourse!

And you'll have been better off than if you had watched the last movie in just about any movie 'series'.
Sure I'm paranoid, but am I paranoid enough?
Indiana Jones and the Search for the WMD
It could be set in the desert, and could have the opening scene in the Oval Office with G.W. telling Harrison Ford that there is a POWERFUL MYSTERIOUS ARTIFACT that evil terrorists are hiding that he needs to find. He's not really sure what it looks like...just that it has the potential to bring lots of DOOM! And if he comes across any oil to make sure to relay the coordinates to his personal line.

I will then have the original trilogy and possibly the fourth one separately. I won't lose sleep over it because I'm not an anal-retentive idiot that has to have everything fit in one box.
So you, yes YOU have the choice: Buy the 4th movie separately, or be an idiot and pay for the original 3 movies twice so you can own a fucking box.
But please stop complaining. Also I am premptively demanding that you not complain about Star Wars boxed sets, LOTR boxed sets, or any other items that are sold in boxes. Thank you.
How much bigger a find do you want? Realistic software patents? A boxed copy of Duke Nukem Forever? What?
Personally, I can't wait for "Indiana Jones and the Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction". If anyone can solve the mystery and find these weapons, Indy can.
