As most of you will remember, the other day we mentioned that Shia LaBeouf claimed that a 5th movie for the Indiana Jones franchise was indeed in the works. Some thing it’s a great idea, some think it’s a horrible idea, some (like me) fall somewhere in between.
Well, it looks like Shia wasn’t just talking out of his ass. Empire Magazine did an interview with producer Frank Marshall who now confirms that they are working on an Indiana Jones 5:
Frank Marshall, who didn’t go so far as to green-light it, but revealed that they’ll start hashing out ideas before too long.
“It’s really about the script,” said Marshall. “Once we see that, we’ll see. We’re not going to wait another 20 years. We’d all love to make another one. I’m anxious to hear the idea!” But he quickly added that he really didn’t know what Spielberg was cooking. “Until there’s a script, nothing’s definite. I haven’t heard the idea.” (He should ask LaBeouf. I bet he knows.) Marshall also confirmed that Lucas, Spielberg, and Ford were equally eager to return for a fifth outing. “Yeah. We had a great time making the last one and, as Harrison said, we need to make this one soon. We’re not getting any younger.”
Damn right you’re not getting any younger. I still maintain that the story of an aging Indiana Jones would be a fantastic idea and I think Ford can full that off. But dear heavens please just make it better than the last one.
