I don't see the Lucas idea happening. Ford and Spielberg will definitely shoot it down. It is called INDIANA JONES for a reason.

what concerns me is how Lucas confessed that he didn't quite like the storyline in indy4. in the interview he said that the script was actually rejected by Harrison and Steven 14 years ago. only after years of waiting did both of them decide to reuse the plot. yeah..... they are making this film just for the moolah. or as Lucas coined it " we are taking a movie vacation"
Are you sure you are not confusing plot with MacGuffin? wink.gif Also, I don't think anyone major involved in Indy IV's production actually needs the money (plus it is technically an independent film). Its not like Paramount making The Godfather III because it desperately needed cash.

nope. the early draft of the film was shot down ages ago.
Yes but I believe that the MacGuffin in this film is an idea that has been one of the few constants throughout its gestation. The final script is an original Nathanson work incorporating this plot device and polished by Koepp after Darabont's was dropped.

On the contrary, since the 2000s, Spielberg has made the awesome A.I., Minority Report and Catch Me If You Can. Munich wasn't lambasted, but its a polarizing film as can only be expected of a film on that subject matter. He hasn't attempted a big mass appeal blockbuster since The Lost World though. I believe Episode III was warmly received too, and the final hour is enough to restore any damage caused by even Jar Jar.
