No Sean Connery in Indy 4.....
Apparantly Connery is retired??? Didnt know that?
IM just amazed that after nearly 19 years, they are getting ready to film a new Indy movie with Indy in a wheelchair.. (Joke) http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070607/...e_sean_connery LOS ANGELES - The next "Indiana Jones" flick will not be another father-son affair. Sean Connery says he will not return to play dad to Harrison Ford's globe-trotting adventurer Indy. Connery played Indy's father in 1989's "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," the third installment of the franchise directed by Steven Spielberg and produced by George Lucas. "I get asked the question so often, I thought it best to make an announcement," Connery, 76, said in a statement posted Thursday on Lucasfilm's "Indiana Jones" Web site. "I thought long and hard about it, and if anything could have pulled me out of retirement it would have been an `Indiana Jones' film." "I love working with Steven and George, and it goes without saying that it is an honor to have Harrison as my son," he said. "But in the end, retirement is just too damned much fun." The fourth "Indiana Jones" film, not yet titled, is again directed by Spielberg and produced by Lucas. Shooting begins the week of Monday, June 18, at an undisclosed U.S. location, and the movie is due out May 22, 2008. Lucasfilm also announced Thursday that Cate Blanchett, John Hurt and Ray Winstone will be joining the cast, which along with Ford, includes Shia LaBeouf. Connery — who played the bookish Henry Jones Sr. in "The Last Crusade" and affectionately called his son "Junior" — did have some words for the 64-year-old Ford. "I do, however, have one bit of advice for Junior: Demand that the critters be digital, the cliffs be low, and for goodness sake keep that whip by your side at all times in case you need to escape from the stunt coordinator!" Connery said. "This is a remarkable cast, and I can only say, `Break a leg, everyone.'" Lucas and Spielberg have been working with a variety of screenwriters over the years on the long-awaited sequel. The filmmakers have kept the story under wraps, with Lucas, Spielberg and Ford saying in interviews only that it would take place sometime after World War II. The first three movies were set in the mid- to late 1930s. Among speculation the filmmakers have yet to confirm or deny is whether Karen Allen, Indy's romantic interest in 1981's "Raiders of the Lost Ark," might return. There also have been rumors that Kate Capshaw — Spielberg's wife and Indy's love interest in 1984's "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" — might appear in the fourth film. Lucas and Spielberg are maintaining tight secrecy because details on story and casting are still being worked out and because they want to save some surprises for audiences, said Spielberg spokesman Marvin Levy. "This is the closest to the vest I've seen. Does Indy wear a vest?" Levy said. "We have more speculation about a number of people than anything I have ever encountered." |

I bet River Phoenix isn't in it, either.

Hard to believe Ford is sixty-freaking-four.

I don't understand why anyone wants Sean Connery back in Indiana Jones anyway - in spite of who he is, I found his character, and basically that last movie, not very good. Just my opinion

I liked his character, but as sequels go... they tend to go over the top a bit. I'm hoping they don't get too crazy with this one. I can see a 64 year old Ford still doing the character well. It should be well written and directed with Spielberg and Lucas.
The supporting cast looks pretty decent. http://www.indianajones.com/ Cast News http://www.indianajones.com/communit...s20070607.html And, you just have to love the theme music... one of the best.
