Lucas: 4th 'Indiana Jones' to shoot in 2007
POSTED: 9:17 a.m. EST, January 1, 2007

BEVERLY HILLS, California (AP) -- George Lucas said Friday that filming of the long-awaited "Indiana Jones" movie will begin in 2007.

Harrison Ford, who appeared in the three earlier flicks, the last one coming in 1989, is set to star again.

Lucas said he and Steven Spielberg recently finalized the script for the film.

"It's going to be fantastic. It's going to be the best one yet," the 62-year-old filmmaker said during a break from preparing for his duties as grand marshal of Monday's Rose Parade.

Exact film locations have not been decided yet, but Lucas said part of the movie will be shot in Los Angeles.

The fourth chapter of the "Indiana Jones" saga, which will hit theaters in May 2008, has been in development for over a decade with several screenwriters taking a crack at the script, but it only recently gained momentum.

Lucas kept mum about the plot, but said that the latest action flick will be a "character piece" that will include "very interesting mysteries."

"I think it's going to be really cool," Lucas said.

At the inaugural Rome Film Festival in October, the 64-year-old Ford said he was excited to team up with Lucas and Spielberg again for the fourth "Indiana Jones" installment. Ford said he was "fit to continue" to play the title role despite his age. (Gallery: Harrison Ford's career)

Ford played Indiana Jones in 1981's "Raiders of the Lost Ark," 1984's "Temple of Doom" and 1989's "The Last Crusade."

Lucas praised Ford for breathing life into his character.

"Mostly it's the charm of Harrison that makes it work," he said.

Ford is way too old to play Jones.

Having Ford take Connery's place as Sr. and recalling Sean Patrick Flanery (I know it was River Phoenix in the movie, but Flanery was better) to play Indiana would make a lot more sense, and the age would be about right, unless they are going to set the movie in the 60's.

Hey, if Stallone can pull off "Rocky Balboa," I'll reserve judgement on the last installment of Indiana Jones.

Blasphemy!





Connery managed to make an action movie at the age of 72 and didn't break a hip. In League of Extrodinary Gentlemen, which was a stupid movie, but Connery survived.

Ford will do fine. Hope Lucas doesn't screw it up.

I can't wait for this movies release.

I like that!

Odds on Ford uttering, "I'm getting too old for this shit" at some point in the story?

Same here. I wanted to hate Rocky Balboa just out of principle, but Stallone pulled it off. I'll give Spielberg and Ford a chance...

Best comedy EVER!

Who is he going to fight?  The nazis are gone.  Maybe Commies?

Hugo Chaves

I think it was the Commies.

I think it will be pretty good.  I'm not sure I'd watch it unless Ford was in it.

Plenty of bad guys to go around... The Russians, the Chinese...

IIRC one of the rumors going 'round the Internets was that the plot is going to be about Atlantis, set in the early 1950s.

I'll tune in. I love the Indiana Jones movies.

with lucas who knows. maybe wierd al will be the stunt double

Spielberg will be directing it, NOT Lucas.  He is only helping with some of the script, same as the other 3 movies.

I'm looking forward to it.  I like Spielberg's movies, and I think Ford can pull off an older version.

River Phoenix OD'd, you could not get him if you wanted.

I realize that, which is why I mentioned Flanery.
