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. " "

This Four DVD set will include:

- Restored Film Footage
- Remastered in THX
- New Dolby 5.1 soundtrack
- A 4th DVD with just about every aspect of how the films were made.

This collection will retail for $49.95 (US)

Here's the official release notice for the DVD.I just hope that the new film and DVD will be able to Satisfy all the Indy fans."

Woohoo! About time!

I'm really happy they're finally coming out with the fourth movie. The rumors I've heard are that Harrison Ford will be the 'old Indiana' and he will be looking back on the adventures of his youth? Not sure how well thats going to work, but I'm sure that I'll be spending my money at the movies when it comes out.

The internet movie database already has a few hints in its forum

Well, actually the plot is a closely guarded secret at this point, and I am glad.

Sean Connery will be in it as Indiana's Father again and the movie is being set in the 1950's to account for Harrison's aged real life look which cannot be entirely hidden on camera.

I believe they are having the women of his life make cameo's and such, though Karen Allen is the only one that I'd personally like to see in it as Spielberg's wife (Kate Capshaw) just annoys the hell out of me! :)

Anyway, my prediction is this: (and this is entirely me guessing, but I am putting it down here now as proof that I said it before the plot was learned)

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (yes, like the original PC game that came out years ago)

Why do I predict this? Because Atlantis as a real location still fascinates people around the world today, in fact I was watching Discovery Channel the other night about people that are currently looking for it and clues they have found and such. I mean, let's face it, he's found the most prized Biblical Artifacts already, it's time for him to find something bigger. :)


I guess in the end only time will tell but I thought that I would give you that tidbit at the top about who will be who and why the movie is being set in the 1950's.


P.S.
For all your Indiana Jones Fans out there, in case you missed it (as I am sure most have) in the The Temple of Doom, when Harrison jumps out of the hotel at the beginning with Kate Capshaw and they fall into the car and drive past the entrance to the club that they just ran from, well, the big hidden George Lucas "Easter Egg" is the club is named "Club Obi Wan" (from Star Wars yet had an oriental ring to it) :)
Cheers!

Artefacts

[The Famous Brett Wat]

You say:

...he's found the most prized Biblical Artifacts already...

He's found the most famous Biblical Artefacts already (plus a Hindu artefact, for that matter), but not the most prized. The most prized must surely include the cross of the crucifixion itself, which, legend has it (if one wishes to give a Hollywood angle to it), heals all who touch it.

Note that I agree with you: the Christian Artefact angle has pretty much been done enough, and they'll probably try for something else like Atlantis, or something Egyptian, or maybe Incan? Round off the series (I presume this will be the last) with a throw-back to the opening scene of Raiders -- that would be cool. Even so, the Christian Artefact scene is hardly mined out if they think it will please the crowds.
