Hey folks, Harry here with the lastest tracking information on what is happening with Harrison Ford. Word on a fourth Indiana Jones film is that it ain't happening... no way, no how, but over on that... other Ford series, JACK RYAN films, well there is movement.
It seems that after filming finishes on Robert Zemeckis' WHAT LIES BENEATH, a sort of paranormal story of a classic-style true-feeling ghost story, that isn't a 'what goes bump in the night' type of film. Well after he shoots that, he's looking to make, THE SUM OF ALL FEARS it seems. As of yet, I haven't heard of a director attachment... yet, but... there is a screenwriter attached writing the adapted screenplay... His name is AKIVA GOLDSMAN.
I had heard this a while back, but since I hadn't heard whether or not Harrison was interested in it... well it just didn't interest me. For those that don't know, the basic premise has to do with a Arab terrorists, a missing Israeli nuclear device, edgy relations between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, and all the typical groovy Clancy cloak and dagger and beauracratic red tape hell that is in his Jack Ryan series.
Keep your ears perked up for this one folks, it could be cool if it lands in the right director's hands... As for Akiva... well nothing I'm gonna say is going to stop the 'furious anger' that is inevitably going to be being expressed below....
