“That’s purely a rumor,” Lucasfilm’s Director of Publicity John Singh told MTV News. “Idle chatter among Internet fans.”
WELL...here it is direct from the lips of the Rican with the Irish name.
It is NOT a rumor. It IS 99% accurate. Booyakasha and happy Wednesday.
Of course the publicity guy is going to deny deny deny. Of course they aren't going to tell you the truth on what we know. Yes...we know that Shia has been lined up for three more Indy flicks. Harrison is lined up for two more but perhaps more in a supporting character role like Sean Connery was in Last Crusade.
Of course MTV is going to bring you the deny deny deny story. And why shouldn't they? Is it because MTV's parent company is Viacom who is the sister company to Paramount Pictures who is putting out Indiana Jones 4? Well...I'm betting yes. That is exactly why.
Now back to the 99% accurate. The news came from someone working directly with the film. The news was not from second-hand guy who knows the guy who knows the guy nor from the food guy on set. It was from a well, well, well respected studio source.
IESB's details?
Shia is signed on for 3 more. Harrison for 2.
There are aliens in the script and that they are referred to as “the gods.” We know Area 51 is making an appearance in the film so aliens must be abound, but in any case, the aliens are being referred to a “gods.” Hence, further indication that the working title of Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods could be accurate after all.
To recap. IESB has the info direct from the horse's mouth. MTV Movies Blog? Straight from the PR guy at Lucasfilm.
I'd say MTV should stick to their music...but they really don't play music anymore, do they? I have a new reality show to pitch though: Nick and Jessica - DIVORCEES!
