Indiana Jones IV..

Indiana Jones IV is the working title of the fourth film in the Indiana Jones series, which will be released worldwide on 22nd May 2008.. The film was in development hell since the release of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, with various screenwriters and false production starts.. Shooting is to commence 18th June 2007 and Harrison Ford will return to play the title role..

Henry Jones Sr.was in the script, but Sean Connery turned the film down, finding retirement too enjoyable.. Lucas said they will do a quick re - write to exclude the character.. John Rhys - Davies was not asked to return as Sallah..

Steven Spielberg says that the film will feature all of Jones' former babes in various cameo roles.. Karen Allen will reprise her role as Marion Ravenwood in the new Indiana Jones movie.. Shia LaBeouf plays the acting role of a young motor bike riding rebel.. Shia LaBeouf turns out to be the son of Marion and Indiana.. Jones learns that Shia is his son sometime after they begin their adventure together.. Indiana Jones IV is set during the 1950's..

Area 51, the secretive U.S. military base, and Russian agents play an important role in the new Indiana Jones film.. The appearance of South American pyramids and / or temples will happen.. The next Indy film involves 13 Crystal Skulls.. The final version of the Indiana Jones IV screen play uses some aspects of Frank Darabont’s script..

The working title of the Indy film might be Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods.. However, Steven Spielberg’s representatives have admitted this will NOT be the final title.. The Indiana Jones IV title could involve the words: “ Crystal Skulls..” The first Indy IV teaser trailer, with the real title attached, will hit cineplexes around Thanksgiving 2007..

Current rumors about Indiana Jones IV:

1.. Filming for Indiana Jones IV will take place in New Haven, Connecticut as well as in Deming, New Mexico and Hawaii..

2.. The opening action sequence of Indiana Jones IV occurs at the legendary, secret Area 51 base in Nevada.. Indiana Jones will battle the Russians at this point..

3.. Shia LaBeouf’s character will have slick hair and a leather jacket.. Shia's character and Indiana Jones will be brought together by fate in the story line and then will find out later that they are related to one another..

4.. The primary story focuses on mystical crystal skulls and borrows from " The Chariots of the Gods," a book about ancient extraterrestrial astronauts written in 1968 by Erich von Däniken.. This book poses the theory that much of ancient man’s technology and culture was given to man by extraterrestrial visitors..

The New Haven Register newspaper reports that Sir Sean Connery ( Henry Jones, Sr. ) has a copy of the Indiana Jones IV script, but has NOT joined the cast yet.. His scenes will be omitted from filming if Connery refuses to reprise his role as Indiana Jones’ father..

Well this post could keep going on and on as there are so many rumors around on the net, but I will end this with a promise to post updates on the IV and possible last Indiana Jones in the series..
