Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

[VideoGames]

George Lucas said Friday that filming of the long-awaited "Indiana Jones" movie will begin next year.

Harrison Ford, who appeared in the three earlier flicks, the last one coming in 1989, is set to star again.

Lucas said he and Steven Spielberg recently finalized the script for the film.

"It's going to be fantastic. It's going to be the best one yet," the 62-year-old filmmaker said during a break from preparing for his duties as grand marshal of Monday's Rose Parade.

Exact film locations have not been decided yet, but Lucas said part of the movie will be shot in Los Angeles.

The fourth chapter of the "Indiana Jones" saga, which will hit theaters in May 2008, has been in development for over a decade with several screenwriters taking a crack at the script, but it only recently gained momentum.

Lucas kept mum about the plot, but said that the latest action flick will be a "character piece" that will include "very interesting mysteries."

"I think it's going to be really cool," Lucas said.

At the inaugural Rome Film Festival in October, the 64-year-old Ford said he was excited to team up with Lucas and Spielberg again for the fourth "Indiana Jones" installment. Ford said he was "fit to continue" to play the title role despite his age.

Ford played Indiana Jones in 1981's "Raiders of the Lost Ark," 1984's "Temple of Doom" and 1989's "The Last Crusade."

Lucas praised Ford for breathing life into his character.

"Mostly it's the charm of Harrison that makes it work," he said.

Yeah! He said something like that before The Phantom Menace too...

but... I'm happy that IJ4 coming!

I found this on IMDB and I agree with this person!!

Remember those months leading up to Phantom Menace and everyone thought (at least SW fans) thought it was going to be the greatest movie of the year?

And then it turned out to be a letdown? I'm afraid the same thing might happen to Indy 4!!

Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to the movie and I want to enjoy it and let it be successful, but somehow I'm afraid it may ruin the Indy saga.

However, with Spielberg and Ford on board they might be able to create a great movie that will prevent Lucas from getting some weird ideas.

(George, you're a great filmmaker, I'm glad you created Indy and Star Wars, but just this once, could you leave some of the creative decisions to other people? I'm sure you can trust Steve and Harrison to do a good job)

[Mithrandir01]

Like I've said... I'm so agree!

They will start shooting in June 2007.

Character piece eh? Hopefully there will be a lot of action. It doesn't actually have to be Harrison Ford doing it (don't want him to hurt himself in his old age).

Rumors...

Clint Eastwood as the villain...

That will be great!

Folks, u cant believe everythin.
This info originaly comes from Joblo, they had it from one of their useres who appears to be some czech moron. Heīs heard of this news in the most stupid tabloid in czech tv progs called Extra, which appears to be the most stupid and unreliable show ever made in business and actually makes up almost all the stories told.

Yes, it might b interesting, but .... heh

[Mithrandir01]

In every rumor, even from the dumbest tabloid, is a lttle percent of truth...

[st39.6]

yes,indeed,but thereīs a difference between rumour and made up storry....and this aint rumour, m8.

Itīs like if Iīd make up a story that thereīs gonna b next 15 StarWars movies and Elijah Wood wil play Yoda there....would u consider it a rumour with little percent of truth? Huh?...
