You didn’t mention the news that Indiana Jones 4 will be filming in New Haven/Yale next month (June 28-July 5 (?). There’s supposed to be a car chase sequence of some sort. Also its been revealed by the New Haven Register that the movie will take place in 1957.

The John Dahl directing Punisher 2 thing is still in talks, so says many places. It does come on the heels of Tom Jane walking away, but maybe Punisher 2 needs too go towards Dahl’s style of filmmaking.
I think they do it and get it done…or look to other characters to bring to life.
As for Sean Connery and Indy…hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Just recast the role or drop the part. I’d love to see Connery again, but it’s do or die time. If he’s in, he’s in. If he’s out, Indy 4 moves on without him. Simple. Easy. End of story.
“Magnum” – good for Tom. Bad news for us because why say it if…it isn’t going to happen? Also implies a “Starsky & Hutch” kind of gag, which is more troubling.
“Taps” remake. BAD IDEA. Who….Who the hell was in the room making this pitch? Wasn’t the same joker who wants to remake “Long Good Friday”, is it (Paul WS Andersen)? No? Well, that’s one small favor. Anyway, here’s the problem with ‘Taps’ should it be remade:
Military cadets having a protest/shootout with the National Guard, regarding the closing of the military school in favor of land developers.
“Star Wars” shirts. I’d like to wear ne when I buy my stamps ;)
