Lucas, Ford to Start Filming New Indiana Jones Film

Posted by Zonk on from the junior? dept.

Alchemist253 writes "George Lucas has announced that the script for the long-rumored fourth Indiana Jones film has been finalized and is to begin filming this year, with Harrison Ford once again in front of the camera. From the article: 'In a statement, the 64-year-old Ford said he was ready for another turn as the globe-trotting archaeologist. "I'm delighted to be back in business with my old friends," he said. "I don't know if the pants still fit, but I know the hat will."' All three of the earlier movies were shot in the 80s. How well do you think this character is going to translate into a movie made today?

      I wonder if they're going to have Nazis in this movie, now that Harrison Ford has been aging for decades.

      Either the Nazis will come out of a time warp in the 1960s, or maybe they'll continue to set the movie pre-WWII and explain that Indiana aged 25 years instantly when he decided to open that box and peek inside the Ark, just for a second, with sunglasses on.

      What, they're putting Rick Berman and Brannon Braga on the team, too?

    From TFA...

    "George, Harrison and I are all very excited," Spielberg said, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

    I thought George Harrison has passed away? Or are they bringing him back as well as Indy? Just amazing what those boys at ILM can do...

    Well, he was right in a way... except that Binks wasn't so much "funny ha-ha" as "funny short-bus".

    There is no mod option "-1: Disagree" for a reason. "Overrated" is not an acceptable substitute. Post something instead.

    Lucas kept rejecting scripts


    Anything that keeps Lucas from writing scripts deserves our support.
