About 5 months ago I put up a post where I declared there wasn’t going to be an Indiana Jones 4. They keep talking about it and talking about it… even to this day… but trust me folks… this thing ain’t ever going to happen. And today I read a couple of more nails in the coffin of this puppy. George Lucas was talking to Variety Magazine and said basically the following 2 things:
ABOUT LUCASFILM: “We don’t want to make movies. We’re about to get into television. As far as Lucasfilm is concerned, we’ve moved away from the feature film thing, because it’s too expensive and it’s too risky. I think the secret to the future is quantity. Because that’s where it’s going to end up.”
ABOUT INDIANA JONES: “Steve (Spielberg) and I are still working away, trying to come up with something we’re happy with. Hopefully in a short time we will come to an agreement. Or something,”
Boy, that sure is a far cry from the “We’re done!” and “We’ll start filming soon” garbage we’ve been hearing isn’t it? Lucas film is moving into TV, Spielberg and Lucas can’t even agree on a script let alone anything else, Spielberg keeps filling up his schedule and Lucas has those new Star Wars TV shows he’s developing… and Harrison Ford is 64 years old… 5 years OLDER than Sean Connery was then they Made Indiana Jones 3. Is it becoming clear?
No one wanted to see another Indiana Jones film more than me… but take the stocking down, there is no Santa Clause… and there won’t be an Indiana Jones 4. The only thing left now is for them to officially say it out loud… and that won’t be long now.
