BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - George Lucas said Friday that filming of the long-awaited "Indiana Jones" movie will begin next year.

Harrison Ford, who appeared in the three earlier flicks, the last one coming in 1989, is set to star again.

Lucas said he and Steven Spielberg recently finalized the script for the film.

"It's going to be fantastic. It's going to be the best one yet," the 62-year-old filmmaker said during a break from preparing for his duties as grand marshal of Monday's Rose Parade.

Exact film locations have not been decided yet, but Lucas said part of the movie will be shot in Los Angeles.

The fourth chapter of the "Indiana Jones" saga, which will hit theaters in May 2008, has been in development for over a decade with several screenwriters taking a crack at the script, but it only recently gained momentum.

Lucas kept mum about the plot, but said that the latest action flick will be a "character piece" that will include "very interesting mysteries."

"I think it's going to be really cool," Lucas said.

At the inaugural Rome Film Festival in October, the 64-year-old Ford said he was excited to team up with Lucas and Spielberg again for the fourth "Indiana Jones" installment. Ford said he was "fit to continue" to play the title role despite his age.

Ford played Indiana Jones in 1981's "Raiders of the Lost Ark," 1984's "Temple of Doom" and 1989's "The Last Crusade."

Lucas praised Ford for breathing life into his character.

"Mostly it's the charm of Harrison that makes it work," he said.

I just watched the Harrison film Firewall and about half way through I realized that this is the same film Harrison has been making for years. He is always playing the reluctant hero in films like Air Force One, Patriot Games, The Fugitive... and others. Some villian crashes in on his peaceful routine and he must overcome them on his own.

Ford's in pretty good shape for his age, I'll watch it.

I thought the same thing about Rocky, but everyone seems to like it.

I am not exactly sure of what the "index pointing thing" is, but I am sure he must have done it.

I don't see how it could possibly be good at this point. Hopefully it's be the opposite of the prequels, where everyone will expect crap and we'll all be blown away.

Are they gonna be able to CGI the Hoverround and Air Tank Harrison Ford will need by the end of shooting out of the photography?

thepascalblaze · 12-30-2006, 12:07 AM

I always thought some adventure in South America, post WWII could be cool, maybe an Inca quest repleat with encounters of former Nazis who escaped to said continent trying to gain some magical edge to regain power...

...some non-extraterrestrial McGuffin that explains those designs that can only be seen from the sky, but really they're derived from out of body experiences achieved from some plant-based psycho-active formula that Indy gets turned onto from his father's rereading of grail clues, or some such shite...

Harrison is a Rock Solid actor & can still pull it off, my fear is that Lucas will make a cornball mess out of it like he did in the 1st movie & a 1/2 of the new Star Wars episodes.

Halfway up the mystical mountain on which Noah's Ark rests, Indy will take a crisp & refreshing swig of ice cold Pepsi-Cola...
