UPDATE:
Frank Darabont is still writing the script for Indiana Jones 4. The filmmakers are making sure that the sequel lives up to the franchise.
Producer Kathleen Kennedy also said that she expects Harrison Ford, director Steven Spielberg and producer George Lucas to defer their usual salaries in lieu of back-end deals to ensure a reasonable budget.
UPDATE:
Writer/director Frank Darabont talked to the Alameda Times-Star about penning Indiana Jones 4, which is targeted for a July, 2005 release.
"I absolutely don't want to do things like having him say, 'I'm getting to old for this s---,' " says Darabont. "I don't want to be slipping and sliding in cliches. This character is no longer in the 1930s. He has to age honestly. He's got to be in the 1950s."
He doesn't sound too worried about taking on such an indelible character. Darabont likes going from the director's chair to the screenwriter's lair.
"Clearly, you are using different muscles," he says. "One is a very isolated, focused endeavor. The other is a wildly not isolated incredibly focused effort."
He describes working on the Indiana Jones script as a "total blast." Darabont worked with Spielberg on the film "Saving Private Ryan," doing uncredited screenwriting work.
"Let's face it, what's not to like about Indiana Jones," he says. "I saw the first movie in 1981, five years before I started my writing career. Who knew I would grow up to write the sequel."
UPDATE:
Shooting will begin in July 2004 and the film will open some time in the summer of 2005.
UPDATE:
Producer Says 'Indy 4' Will Not Rely on CGI
10 September 2003
Indiana Jones producer Frank Marshall is determined to shun the current trends in movie making - insisting the upcoming fourth installment of the hit franchise will avoid using computer effects. Frank is adamant the sequel to the hit Harrison Ford adventure franchise will retain the tradition of its classic forerunners by utilizing real stunt work instead of high-tech graphics, giving it the feel of a B-movie. He says, "We didn't have computer effects in those days, we couldn't easily erase things and I think one of the unfortunate by-products of the computer age is that it makes filmmakers lazy. You become more creative when you have to hide ramps with a tree rather than erase it later as you can today. In Raiders Of The Lost Ark, that's a real ball rolling behind him so Harrison really is in some danger running in front of that; these are real situations and that adds to the excitement and the creative energy on the set. When you start getting into computers you get fantastical situations like in The Matrix or movies like that. We don't want that, we want exciting heroism, we want seat-of-your-pants, skin-of-your-teeth action. We didn't have all the money in the world on the first films and we want to keep that B-movie feel. We want to make Indiana Jones 4 like we made the first three."
