Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a little more kindling for the rumor bonfire regarding Indiana Jones 4. I know most are skeptical of this project happening, but we know for sure that Spielberg, Lucas and Ford are happy with the new screenplay from Jeff Nathanson and the word is Spielberg is penciling INDY 4 in next year, after he finishes his Lincoln picture with Liam Neeson. To add on to that, I've gotten reports from people inside of Paramount who claim to have seen some paperwork and other items with the INDY 4 title marked clearly on them, which would seem to indicate that the film is gathering steam inside Paramount as well. Unless something big shows its face to trip up the production, I'd say we're going to be seeing our favorite leather jacket, whip and fedora again.
Add on to all that this interview with Kate Capshaw that People did where she spills the beans on some possible dames showin' up in INDY 4. I personally would love to see Indiana cross paths with Marion Ravenwood again. Actually, if they really want to make me happy Indy will end up settling down Marion. She was always the best suited for him. And I will state officially right now I'll roll my eyes to such a degree they may roll right out of my head if Calista Flockhart has more than a cameo in the movie!
The stars are aligning, folks. I'm confident in Spielberg making another worthy installment to the Indiana Jones franchise, especially if he makes the film closer to the tone of RAIDERS. That was my one big problem with LAST CRUSADE, a movie I still dearly love, but it was starting down the road of self-parody. If that's the way the 4th film is planning on going, I'd rather not see it be made, but I think there's still a great Indiana Jones adventure to be had with our favorite creative team and Ford. Here's the interview excerpt!
Kate Capshaw talked to People Magazine about her career, kids, famous hubby and a new Indiana Jones. here's a bit of the interview
People : Is Steven doing another Indiana Jones?
KC : Yes, sometime next year. I believe Willie Scott's going to be making an appearance too.
People : What will that entail?
KC : I can't say. Not because Steven's sworn me to secrery, but because I really don't know yet. All I know is Willie might be coming back, Karen Allen, and possibly Calista [Flockhart]. I think Harrison's going to be outweighed by the women in the next one.
People : Who have you enjoyed working with the most?
KC : Besides Steven Spielberg? (Laughs). Sean Connery was just heaven. We made a movie called Just Cause together. I also enjoyed working with Tom Selleck on the Love Letter and of course Harrison on Indiana Jones. Dennis Quaid is also lovely - and very talented.
