Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford Are "Hopeful" About Indy 5
By Sharon Knolle
Posted Sep 14th 2011

At a free screening of Raiders of the Lost Ark in downtown Los Angeles last night, Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford said they are "hopeful" about making a fifth Indiana Jones film.

Although, perhaps in a dig at Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls' alien plot, Ford announced that his alter ego "ain't going to Mars."

"Maybe a fifth..." Ford said.

"Next time we get a script for Indiana Jones, I'd be delighted to play the character. Each time we meet him, we wanted to advance the audience's understanding of the character, not just by putting him in adventures, but by learning something about him...that's what led to the meeting of his father, and his son, and bringing Marion back."

When a fan in the audience whooped at the mention of a fifth film, Spielberg joked, "I think that's the one we didn't alienate with the fourth."

Other revelations from the evening: Spielberg first got the idea to cast Ford as Indy when he was viewing a rough cut of The Empire Strikes Back, and had to talk George Lucas into seeing Ford as anyone other than Han Solo.

And so history was made.

When Ford joked that Spielberg has only ever cast him as Indiana Jones, Spielberg insisted he'd first offered the role of Alan Grant in Jurassic Park to him.

Does anyone really want to see "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Nursing Home"?

As long as he's up to it, I say why not. The last Indie film was pretty good.
