Spielberg talks INDIANA JONES 4 with us; Director is high on Lucas’ story, Ford’s action talents
By: CHRISTOPHER ALLAN SMITH AND ANTHONY C. FERRANTE
Dateline: Monday, June 3, 2002

Only a day after Paramount announced Frank Darabont as the long-awaited choice to script INDIANA JONES 4, we’ve got some quotes from the man himself, Steven Spielberg, about the project and Harrison Ford’s skills as maybe the ultimate action hero.

“The status is that Frank Darabont is starting – he’s writing the screenplay,” Spielberg told us about THE GREEN MILE, THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION writer/director. Darabont also wrote for the now-defunct YOUNG INDIANA JONES series. “We just made Frank’s deal two weeks ago. We have the story, which is a story George Lucas wrote. It’s a wonderful story. We have Harrison Ford, who’s approved the story. He’s ready to perform in the movie.”

He also confirmed the timetable for shooting the fourth chapter of the action-adventure series, “The movie’s going to be shot probably in May of 2004. When I say probably, it could be April or May of 2004 and the movie’s going to come out probably for the July 4th weekend of 2005, because the last STAR WARS is going to come out the week before Memorial Day 2005. So we’re coordinating this to be a one-two punch with the last STAR WARS coming out in 2005 in May and INDIANA JONES 4 coming out 2005, probably June 29th or July 4th.”

While that gives hope to fans of the highest grossing adventure series in history, more than a few fans wonder about Ford’s advancing years, given it will be almost 25 years since RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK before INDY 4 hits screens.

What does Spielberg think?

“Harrison Ford can still kick the s**t out of most people half his age,” Spielberg told us. “I think he’s in great condition to put the fedora and the hat and the leather jacket back on and crack that bullwhip a few more times.”

For the full interview with Spielberg, which ranges from MINORITY REPORT to RAIDERS and more, pick up the July issue of CINESCAPE magazine, on sale soon.
