Wow, some actual news.
More rumors:
- Behind "closed" doors, Lucas and Co. have been discussing the idea of a new TV show staring Indiana Jones...Junior. Seriously, if LaBeouf works out in the up-and-coming movie, there are some serious whispers going around Skywalker Ranch in that regard.
- If Sir Sean Connery does sign the contract we will see him reprise his role as Henry Jones, Sr...but not for long. His role is rumored to be fairly short, and some say that Henry will die before the first 15 minutes is up.
- The Young Indiana Jones DVD box sets...yup, sets either 3 or 5 boxes will be released...will give buyers exclusive content to the filming of Indy IV when the discs are inserted into a PC. It is not clear if each set will give something different or if it is going to be all the same. Expect these by Christmas 2007.
- Possible re-release of the original trilogy to theaters before May 2008. Lucas has dusted off the plans for the Special Editions and for the last several months ILM have been completing and polishing the look of the films. The only question remains is will Steven sign on to the idea (he killed it last time).
- Last, but not least, depending on the success of Indy IV, Lucas is seriously considering Indy V & VI. However, they may not star Harrison Ford in the lead. These films may be the continuing adventures of Indy, Jr... or "prequels".
I hate the idea of Henry Jones Sr. dieing.
