This is a little unexpected. . .

Blanchett on crusade to 'Indiana Jones 4'

By Tatiana Siegel

March 16, 2007

Cate Blanchett has signed on to star in the fourth installment of the "Indiana Jones" adventures.

Harrison Ford already has boarded the project, which will be produced by Lucasfilm and directed by Steven Spielberg.

With David Koepp's screenplay shrouded in secrecy, it is unclear what character Blanchett will play. However, sources said the Oscar-winning actress has landed a starring role.

Shooting will begin in June in Los Angeles and at undisclosed locations around the world. Paramount Pictures will release "Indy 4" day-and-date around the world on May 22, 2008, with a handful of territories opening the following day.

Frank Marshall is producing, with George Lucas and Kathleen Kennedy executive producing.

Huh. That came out of nowhere.

Sounds good to me though. I just hope she isn't the new "Bond girl"/love interest. I mean, given the age difference (64 to 37) that's just a little creepy. Maybe she's playing Indy's daughter in the role long rumored for Natalie Portman? But I wouldn't put money on it.

She's only four years younger than Ally McBeal, and Indiana Jones dating Ally McBeal isn't creepy, is it?  (Oh, wait.)

She's a great actress, but I hope she's not "the love interest," either.  That would be so obvious.  I don't know if she'd work as "the daughter," either.  I'd actually like to see her play "the bad guy," more than anything.  That'd be more interesting.

I predicted Chewbacca will make a guest appearance.

Indy: I know I've met you before, but where?I
Then a pop-up comes on screen watch "Star Wars- Clone Wars" coming later this year.

I just don't like the idea of Indy having kids in the movies. He had a daughter in the original endings  of the Young Indy Chronicles. Mainly because we alerady ahve characters who take the sidekick type of character.
If there really is a kid I won't care as long as it's an adult or older teen. No Jake Loyds!... Please.

I'd like to see either Marion or Willie return as the girlfriend.

Indy's sidekick is..

I'm hoping we get coverage of the production like we did with the SW prequels.

Am I the only one who doesn't want to see any characters return?  Let's move on!  I don't want to see Short Round in his 30s...anyway, Blanchett WILL be the love interest.  Which doesn't mean that Jones will gte the girl.  I have a feeling that Lucas and Speilbeg are going to play against steroetypes at every turn.

...anyway, Blanchett WILL be the love interest.

 

You never know.  In the last film, The Love Interest turned out to be one of The Bad Guys, in the end.

I have a feeling that Lucas and Speilbeg are going to play against steroetypes at every turn.

Lucas especially.  He hates stereotypical characters.

[Artoo]

I never see how Jar Jar is stereotypical of Jamaicans. I always thought he was stereotypical of dumb asses.

[ruiner]

This movie has the stench of Rocky Balboa and Rambo IV:  Christian Soldiers Unite smeared all over it.

[Matt]

I never see how Jar Jar is stereotypical of Jamaicans. I always thought he was stereotypical of dumb asses.

Fair enough.  How 'bout these guys, then?

[Artoo]

Yeah they seem asian. They're words don't even match with their mouths like i n Japaneese movies!

That whole Watto thing is bull-**** though, one of Lucas' friends is Jewish.

I'm craving for Indy to have a kid now for some reason.

Very cool casting!  Ray Winstone was awesome as French in The Departed.  I wonder if he's going to take on something of Denholm Elliot's role as a colleague of Indy?  After all, he passed away in 1992, so there's definitely going to be no Marcus this time around.

It would definitely be cool to see John Rhys-Davies back in the mix, too.

[Artoo]

He was Sallah right? I'd like to see Sallah again.
