'Indiana Jones 4' Stalled Over Script Concerns
The eagerly awaited new Indiana Jones movie won't be released for another two years, because producer George Lucas isn't happy with the script. Indiana Jones 4 has been in the works for a number of years but looked likely to hit screens next year after Lucas recruited star Harrison Ford and original director Steven Spielberg for the project, and hired Frank Darabont to write a screenplay. But Lucas has sent the Shawshank Redemption writer back to the drawing board. A studio source reveals, "Indiana Jones 4 was meant to start shooting this summer but won't now be coming out until 2006. Even though Harrison and director Steven Spielberg were happy with the screenplay, Lucas still doesn't like the final act and wants a faster pace and more action."
I've been skeptical about a fourth Indy from the beginning, but if there is to be one, I hope Lucas's heavy hand doesn't smear it:
"Snakes?! I hate them! I hate them so much! I hate them!"

From what I've heard, Lucas isn't writing it, he's just hired someone else to re-write it. Forget the guy's name though.
I guess they'll be filming next year in Jerusalem. Maybe by then they'll be able to cast the red heifer. Or borrow other Apocalyptic trappings from the similarly theoretical Good Omens.
