New Indiana Jones dates announced

The new Indiana Jones movie, which is set to be released in May 2008, will begin filming this year. Co-writer George Lucas himself has stated that “It’s going to be fantastic. It’s going to be the best one yet,” and I for one am inclined to believe him as he had the same thing to say about every one of his Star Wars prequel movies!

Old man Harrison Ford will be reprising his role as Indie though there has only been speculation over whether or not even older man Sean Connery will be making an appearance as his Dad. Other casting rumours include the return of Karen Allen as Indie’s love interest, John Rhys-Davies as Gimli the dwarf and even Natalie Portman as his daughter.
