Producer Kathleen Kennedy spoke with Now Playing Magazine recently about how the next installment of Indiana Jones is going, and the word is good:
Kennedy says "We're working on a screenplay. I know this sounds like something that we've been saying for 15 years, but I'm hoping that we're going to see something in a couple of months. Jeff Nathanson is working on the script right now... I will say this: If it comes in and we're all happy with it, it will be more than likely the next thing we do."
She confirmed that the film is set in the late 1940's and that earlier reports that Nathanson's draft had been "approved" by Lucas and Spielberg were true, but - "It's one thing to approve something, it's another thing to say it's greenlit and we're shooting it. So we're just in that sort of phase of finessing."
What about Ford's age, what impact will it have: "We're not writing the script as though he's 20 years old. You know, Sean Connery spent a lot of time in the Bond role and whatnot. I think it's great that we can go make another Indiana Jones movie and Indy can be a little older. I think playing with that is a good thing."
