Empire magazine and Ain’t It Cool News are reporting that a fifth Indiana Jones film is in the works — at least according to producer Frank Marshall.
Shia LaBeouf, who played the motorcycle-riding Mutt Williams in last year’s “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” hinted to the BBC that a new film was being planned, and producer Marshall confirmed it with some key reservations.
“It’s really about the script,” Marshall told Empire. “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!”
Of course, the script was the holdup for “Crystal Skull.” Director Steven Spielberg, producer George Lucas and star Harrison Ford all had to agree on the idea and the script, and apparently several ideas were floated over the years — and several A-list screenwriters tapped — before David Koepp’s screenplay (based on Jeff Nathanson’s and Lucas’ story) got the go-ahead.
Depending on your point of view, it was either a thrill to see a new Indy or, to borrow a phrase made popular in the aftermath of the film, it “nuked the fridge.”
Spielberg, Lucas and Ford are all on board for the new Indiana Jones, according to Marshall … assuming they get a good idea.
What would you like to see Indiana Jones do in the new film? Or would you rather stick with memories of “Raiders of the Lost Ark”?
