Indiana Jones Four

Quite excited to see this movie on the horizon. I know many folks feel that a twenty year hiatus between movies is too much, but to that I can only say "pishtosh!" Harrison Ford can still a play an early to mid fifties Indy, and with the proper script that's fine for me.

Word has come down that Shia Labouef (teenage sidekick in Constantine) will play Indy's son, with Karen Allen as the mother. Ms. Allen has certainly aged well, by the way.

Rumor has it that the movie will either revolve around the Staff of Moses (or, that might just be the plot of the video game) or crystal skulls and ancient astronauts. I'm hoping for the first. The Staff of Moses would be a perfect counterpoint to the prior biblical relics. We shall just have to see.

Filming starts in June.
