Steven doesn't know if "Indy 4" is the last one
(Tuesday, July 2, 2002)
Sun-Times Columnist Cindy Pearlman mentions Steven Spielberg and Indiana Jones 4. Here's what she wrote about it:
The director of the hit film Minority Report says that keeping up with the Joneses isn't easy. Steven Spielberg admits that the upcoming sequel to "Indiana Jones" wasn't first on his "to do" list. "There was a little nagging," he says, laughing about the much-awaited sequel starring Harrison Ford. "George Lucas nagged me a little bit on it. But the deal is that George, Harrison Ford, Kathleen Kennedy and I built a family in the '80s. It was a wonderful family. A nine-year family. We made three films in nine years. Now, I would like to go back and have some fun. I'm kind of saving the candy for the last one," Spielberg says.
Hello, the last one? "Oh, I don't know," Spielberg adds. "Of course, I said the third Indy would be the last one. And obviously it's not. So I can't even comment whether the fourth will be the last one or not." As for plot secrets, Spielberg says, "I'm not looking to redesign the wheel. I just want to continue the saga." The film is due out in 2004. Yes, Spielberg's wife, Kate Capshaw, has a cameo.
Now be careful. Spielberg didn't say that there will also come a fifth Indiana Jones film. He simply says that you just never know what will happen next in Hollywood.

Spielberg talks Ford/Indy's action in 'Indy 4'
(Friday, July 5, 2002)
IMDb.com posted the following about Harrison Ford's age in Indiana Jones 4:
Steven Spielberg is convinced Harrison Ford's advancing age won't be a barrier to the upcoming Indiana Jones sequel. The Oscar-winning moviemaker is teaming up with pal George Lucas to make the new adventure flick - over 20 years after the franchise began in 1981 with Raiders Of The Lost Ark and over ten years since the last flick, The Last Crusade (1989). By the time the movie hits theaters in 2005, Ford - who was 38 when the first movie was made - will be 63, but Spielberg isn't worried about the star reprising the swashbuckling role; he has some decidedly low-tech plans to conceal Harrison's advancing years. Spielberg says, "Harrison won't act his age: he'll run: he'll swing, he'll leap, he'll fight. None of that's gonna change. He might 'ooh' and 'aah' a bit more and there might be a few more scenes where he's having Vicks Vapor Rub applied to all the sore spots."
Never doubted that Harrison Ford will still be able to do it. Actually, these 'ooh' and 'aah' moments might even add some extra fun and suspense to the action scenes!

Ford talks with Playboy about "Indy 4"
Sunday, July 7, 2002
The August 2002 issue of Playboy magazine contains a good interview with Harrison Ford about Indiana Jones 4. Here's an except from the interview:
Playboy: Why has it taken you, Lucas and Spielberg so long to do the fourth Indiana Jones?
Ford: "We've all been busy, that's most of it. Then there were the concepts we didn't all agree on. It has to be the best damned Jones we ever made or its going to get tarred and feathered."
Playboy: Given the time that has passed, will you make concessions for the fact that Indiana Jones is getting older?
Ford: "I'll make concessions for the fact that I'm 15 years older."
Playboy: How is Indiana Jones aging?
Ford: "As you can see, very well. I can still whip Sean Connery with one hand tied behind my back. We want to preserve the spirit of the original, but I hope we have some good jokes in there about it. The character is still Indiana Jones, and it was always as much fun for the audience to see me get beat up as it was to see me beat somebody up. That is kind of unique. Part of the appeal of Indiana Jones is that he was always in over his head. He was always hurt. As he said in the first film, "Its not the years, its the mileage."

John Williams signed on for "Indy 4"
The Orange County Register got the honor of interviewing our favorite composer, John Williams. And while the interview itself is very fascinating, what gets my attention the most is this line hidden at the very end:
Williams is already signed up for Indiana Jones 4 and Star Wars Episode III with Spielberg and Lucas, as well as Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, projects taking him into 2005.
Yet more confirmation that Indy will be on the screen at least one more time.

Lucas talks "Indy 4" with Swedish newspaper
Wednesday, July 10, 2002
A Swedish newspaper, Aftonbladet, conducted an interview with George Lucas a few days ago, let's just say it brings about even more official confirmation. Here's a rough translation from a part of the interview:
(GL) "I wanted to see a movie such as Raiders of the lost Ark, but I didn't want to make it myself. So I asked Spielberg, and those kind of movies are what he likes to direct."
(JP) "I understand you are starting the next Indiana Jones?"
(GL) "All I need to do with Indy is to create the story and select the script-writer. I have come up with a plot that both Steven and Harrison like, so now I just have to get the writer going and then I'm done."
Writing Episode III Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford are now waiting for Frank Darabont to write the script based on Lucas's story. When you are reading this, George Lucas is sitting at his desk at the Skywalker Ranch.
(GL) "I am writing both Episode III and Episode IV in two different series. The third 'Star Wars' and the fourth 'Indiana Jones'."
They are both scheduled for release in 2005.
There you have it, Star Wars III and Indy 4 are both "full steam ahead" right now. We'll see which one crosses the finish line first.

Darabont talks about writing "Indy 4"
Friday, July 12, 2002
Sci Fi Wire talked about Indiana Jones 4 with it's screenplay writer, Frank Darabont. Here's part of their short but interesting article:
Not surprisingly, Indy won't be facing down Nazis this time around, Darabont said. "We're going to give you some good villains, let me just put it that way," he said.
Darabont added that producer George Lucas and director Steven Spielberg are allowing Darabont to bring his own ideas to the script. "It winds up being a pretty good collaboration, a good exchange of ideas," he said. But, he added, "at the end of the day, I'll be writing what they ask me to. I'll be giving them the story that they want, so in that sense, I'm an employee. But a very excited and engaged employee. And what a fun project to work on."
When probed for specific details—such as the rumors that Indy will have a son—Darabont said, "If I told you, they'd kill me. I wouldn't leave here alive. I'm sworn to secrecy."
