Personally, I think there's an excellent story to be built around an older, more grizzled Dr. Jones. He'll be wiser, less apt to go leaping off cliffs if there's a nearby elevator. They can play up some weaknesses (which have already been used for comedic effect in 1-3).
That being said, there are lots of pitfalls and audience squirming moments ahead if they just use an older, more grizzled face in close-ups and an obvious stunt double leaping off cliffs and swinging across canyons on a whip.

One thing is certain: Fedora Lounge hatmakers who do That Hat well are going to be in the chips!

I've been teased before. I'm curious but I'll believe it when they are filming and then hold judgment until after I watch the movie.

Sincerely,

I have read these news articles for a while now and am numb to the latest announcements.
Lucas has talked about doing the next film in the style of Raiders.
Here is to hoping..:cheers1:

 

[Story]

In an interview with MTV.com, Lucas also said that the project will acknowledge Harrison's age; the actor is currently 64. In a statement, Ford said he is ready for another action-packed turn as the death-defying archeologist. "I'm delighted to be back in business with my old friends," he said. "I don't know if the pants still fit, but I know the hat will." :fedora:

Until they release a [convincing] teaser, I'm maintaining a healthy amount of skepticism.

No mention of filming Indiana Jones..

Lucas said after the New Year's Day event, he'll refocus on two Star Wars television projects: an animated version for 2008 and a live-action show set for 2009. Even though he has plans to start making smaller and more experimental films, getting away from the franchise is never easy.

Typical Lucas.

 

[Baggers]

It's in today's Hollyood Reporter, so I guess it's official. Spielberg will direct a script by David Koepp.

Cheers!

Right - and I believe the article, or at least one of them, mentioned a May 2008 tentative release date.

Happy happy happy!!!
Indiana Jones is hero. I love him. Raiders is still my favorite movie.

 

[GOK]

Even if he is a bit grizzled, he's still darned sexy!

The thought of "Indy IV" appeals to me while at the same time terrifying me.

I'd love to see another Indiana Jones film. He's one of the most memorable characters in cinema history. That said, my feeling is that they capped the trilogy almost perfectly with "Last Crusade", and if they want to bring back the character, there has to be a damn compelling reason to do so. They need to have an absolutely rock-solid script, otherwise the movie will be looked at much in the same light as the most recent "Rocky" flick.

Honestly, I think if "Indy IV" isn't the best of the series, it will, by default, be the worst.

To quote Marcus Brody, "...it's not something to be taken lightly."

The thought of "Indy IV" appeals to me while at the same time terrifying me.

Agreed, but whats an adventure without a little bit of terror? As I sit waiting for the release of this film, I find myself thinking that these feelings are all very familiar--trepidation, excitement, fear of the unknown--classic pre-adventure emotions. So it's quite fitting

Cheers

[Doh!]

Hopefully, Lucas/Spielberg take their cues from the latest James Bond film and stay the hell away from CGI. It sure was refreshing to look at actual stuntmen and miniatures again!

Aw, who am I kidding? Indy will probably have an animated, talking camel or something as a sidekick this time...
