Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've just clicked over into 2007, Happy New Year etc. – but never mind about that now.
January 2, 2007 (Press Release) --
We have the best reason to be looking forward to next year: George Lucas and Steven Spielberg have finalised the script for the fourth Indiana Jones movie, and want cameras to roll in 2008.
Some lucky sod spoke to George as he was in the final stages of orchestrating Pasadena’s Rose Parade (which in itself looks set to be very cool, with several floats dedicated to Star Wars), but beyond confirming the green light, was keeping as schtum as you’d expect, divulging only that it will be a “character piece” with “very interesting mysteries.” Oh, and that it he thinks it will be "really cool." C’mon, what did you expect, really?
With all of the activity and rumblings of the last twelve months, the announcement of this shooting window pretty much confirms Harrison Ford to star, having said as recently as October 2006 that he’s up for another outing as our favourite archaeologist.
Now there are also rumours that the film will be finished and in cinemas by May 2008. Granted, Lucas is fond of his May release dates, but given the volume of other projects that both he and Spielberg have on their schedules at the moment (director has his Abraham Lincoln biopic, producer has loads of Star Wars stuff and Red Tails in the works), a 2008 shoot sounds more likely - and a May 2009 opening isn't out of the question. But it will happen.
Despite this amazing news, we’d like everybody to remain calm, and have it from reliable sources that there has been no evidence of abnormal interplanetary alignment, cats and dogs have not started co-habiting, and we’ve just looked out of the window to confirm that it is not raining donuts.
