I read the other day that Spielberg & Co. are planning on making Indiana Jones 4. I don't think they've started shooting yet, mainly because (a) Harrison Ford didn't say anything about it when he was out promoting Hollywood Hartnett and (b) it has an intended release date of summer 2005.

I did a quick google and - go figure - there's already tons and tons of information out there. Go go geeks. Here's a pretty good FAQ that answered most of my questions. I guess the fourth movie will be set in the 50's instead of the 30's, and Indy will be fighting someone other than Nazis. He will continue to have a tan and a whip.

Making another movie seems terribly risky to me. The first three chapters in the Indy trilogy were pretty damn good. Yes, that's right, even the third one. Risking the whole franchise by making a fourth movie 16 years after the third one was released is just begging for disaster. (Yousa thinksa I'm a-kiddin sa? Then yousa stoopid doodyhead.)

I'm not saying I'm not pumped for it - because I totally am - I'm just saying that this time I'm going in prepared for the worst.
