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.

This Four DVD set will include:

Comments

In this episode . . .

[LazloToth]

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.

Really?

[Matey-O]

and include just about every main character from the first three films.

Even the melted ones?

Yeah.,..

[Anztac]

"Harrison Ford can still kick the s**t out of most people half his age," Spielberg told us. "I think he's in great condition to put the fedora and the hat and the leather jacket back on and crack that bullwhip a few more times."

Yeah, but if he says "I'm getting to old for this shit" I may have to shoot him...

Re:Yeah.,..

[Jonsey]

...Spielberg told us. "I think he's in great condition to put the fedora and the hat and the leather jacket back on and crack that bullwhip a few more times."

Put on the hat first or second? Because we want to see the Fedora, not some other hat. : )

Mark Hamil?

[gpinzone]

I remember reading that Mark Hamil was talked about for playing Indiana's long lost evil brother. Any truth to it?

Re:Mark Hamil?

[Anonymous Coward]

No, Mark will be too busy filming the long-awaited sequel "Corvette Summer 2".

Indiana Jones 4: Product Placement Info

[Karl Cocknozzle]

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.

Reworked Scene in RotA

[LordYUK]

**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...

Youth?

[b1t r0t]

Well, if the problem is that Harrison Ford is getting to old, then we need to find someone younger. Who better than a young star of movies with "and the" in the title?

Yes, folks, get ready for Harry Potter and the Temple of Doom!

Re:Youth?

[Surak]

Excerpt from the script: (SPOILERS):

Arabian dude with sword: Twirls sword around, brandishing it menacingly.
Jar Jar: Meesa goin' to da Temple of Doom to find da Lost Ark! Yeah, that's meesa gonna do!
Indiana Jones: Looks at Arabian dude with sword.
Indiana Jones: Looks at Jar Jar.
Indiana Jones: Shoots Jar Jar and takes his chances with Arabian dude.

Re:Youth?

[parliboy]

Hey, if this means we're going to sacrifice Hermione by ripping out her heart and showing it to her while it's still beating, I'm up for it!

Re:Youth?

[andyt]

But in the Special Edition version, Jar Jar shoots first!

In the words of Short Round

[Zabu]

Uh Oh -- Big Mistake!

New Title Suggestions

[bc8o8]

How about
"Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Retirement Home"
or
"Indiana Jones: The Temple of Viagra"
or
"Indiana Jones: The Last Erection"

The Inside Scoop

[wynterwynd]

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.

Terminology Catastrophe Warning

[aziraphale]

"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'?

Short Round == Jar-Jar

[sczimme]

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.

Re:imdb forum

[JDevers]

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)

Re:Not again

[onthefenceman]

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.

Re:Woohoo! About time!

[andy1307]

mean, let's face it, he's found the most prized Biblical Artifacts already, it's time for him to find something bigger. :)

something bigger..like SCO's code in linux?

Re:Karen Allen and Kate Capshaw ?

[Ozan]

As long as they don't bring back that little annoying kid in the Yankee cap in Temple Of Doom.

I want short-round in the next movie. Played by Yun-Fat Chow. Wouldn't that be something?

Modern Day Indy?

[Lord_Dweomer]

How about:

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.
