Came across this nice little interview with Rick McCallum (Producer at Lucasfilm). In it he talks about the upcoming Star Wars TV shows (animated and live action) as well as the upcoming Indiana Jones 4 movie.
Two things really jumped out at me from the interview. one about Star Wars and one about Indy.
Star Wars Bit:
And the live-action television series is something we are planning for at the beginning of 2007. We are just starting to interview writers and trying to really figure out which direction to go to. It is going to be much darker, grittier. It’s much more character-based. He envisions somewhere like 100 hours between Episode III and Episode IV with a lot of characters that we haven’t met that have been developed in some of the novels and other things. We are really excited about that. Finally, we could have the opportunity to answer everybody’s questions once and for all by the time we finish the series.
And on Indy:
(George Lucas is) doing the Indiana Jones (4) script, which he should finish by Sunday. Then he’s meeting with Steven [Spielberg] next week to try and figure out where they’re going to go and what changes they want to make on it.
It’s nice to see that Indy 4 hasn’t been forgotten. Here’s hoping that George and Steven are able to get a lot accomplished when they get together next week. Indy needs to be on the screen again before he’s on his back in a nursing home!
