"Indiana Jones 4" back on hold

Just when things seemed to be going forward, they've come to a halt. Variety reports that the fourth "Indiana Jones" pic is on hold as a new script draft has been commissioned.

Frank Darabont had been brought in to script a concept the trio (Spielberg, Ford and Lucas) liked and earlier this week it was reported the work was complete, but sources close to the production said Producer George Lucas was unhappy with the draft. So now another screenwriter has been brought in to hone Darabont's script.

Spielberg had no comment on his plans, but with the time now required and the small availability window for the trio to work together - it is now looking like a 2005 production start at the earliest for release in 2006.

Meanwhile a supposed Paramount insider sent in the following scoop to DH a few hours before the trade report broke which could reveal some of the reasoning behind why Lucas didn't like it: "Darabont has been ordered to rewrite it, one of the elements he apparently didn't go for was a sub-plot involving Indy's brother. The brother is still going to be in it, but not as much a focus as in the current script. There needs to be more dimension to the character as well. Apparently Kevin Costner has talked to Spielberg too - but I don't know if he's in it".
The possibility of Costner being involved in this movie is one of the scariest scenarios I can imagine. And Lucas unhappy with the script? That doesn't really bode well either... his judgment on the quality of scripts has been a wee bit... off, lately.

After the Star Wars prequels, I can't help but be negative about this one.

They should do a prequel with RIver Phoenix as Indy, and.... oh, wait, yeah.

That guy was *good*. He actually pulled off the 'young Indy' bit but he won't be reprising his role, which was why this talk of basing the new movie on some kind of Indy protege didn't fill me with confidence.
