Indiana Jones 4 is currently shooting and of course the plot is still clouded in secret. Even the name of the flick, rumored to be Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods, is a rumor at this time.
So what do you do when you don't know more? Spread more rumors!
"We know Marion Ravenwood is in it. We know she had a kid with Indy. We hear that John Hurt could be playing Abner Ravenwood, long lost father of Marion and mentor to Indy, thought dead in his pursuit of the Ark.
Seems like that's the direction they're going.
The rumors I have been getting say that the big object being searched for is not Atlantis. It is not the Spear of Destiny. It is not a shard of Noah's Ark. This time Indiana has to go back to square one. There is nothing he can possess that can not be taken away.
What I hear is that he is searching, once more, for the Ark of the Covenant.
The rumor is that the warehouse we see at the end of Raiders is in Groom Lake (aka Area 51) and the Russians are trying to find it in order to one-up the American military might.
That would explain Abner being involved in the story. That would further my theory that INDY 4 will act as a bookend to the series, RAIDERS on one side and INDY 4 on the other. If Shia LaBeouf ends up continuing it down the line as rumored, then so be it, but I think we're pretty much guaranteed this will be the last one with Lucas, Spielberg and Ford."
True? False? Lame? Incredible? Well a bookend to Raiders of the Lost Ark is a great idea in my book but we'll all have to wait and see if it all will happen.
Indiana Jones 4 starring Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett, Shia LaBeouf, John Hurt, Jim Broadbent, and Ray Winstone, produced by George Lucas, and directed by Steven Spielberg hits screens May 22, 2008.
