Check this out.


According to Michael Fleming in VARIETY, George Lucas, Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg are trying to get Tom Stoppard to write the fourth film in the series, and they want to start shooting in 2004.

"Indy, what is carnal embrace?"
"I'll show you, as soon as I take care of those two Danes."
"Oh, Indy! How exciting. You can leave your hat on, if you like."
"I was hoping you'd say that."

Oh yes. That would be great.

Well, it would be interesting.

Variety reports Frank Darabont, the writer/director of "The Majestic," has been offered the job of writing the fourth installment of the "Indiana Jones" franchise and a deal is expected to be signed imminently. Paramount insiders say the picture will be aimed at a July 2005 holiday weekend berth.

The road to a "Jones" sequel has been long and twisting since the trio of producer George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and topliner Harrison Ford agreed in 1993 to make a fourth picture.

Lucas previously courted "The Sixth Sense" writer/director M. Night Shyamalan and "Shakespeare in Love" co-writer Tom Stoppard to write the screenplay. Now Darabont is expected to take control and knock out a screenplay for a story that was hatched by Lucas and given a thumbs-up by both Spielberg and Ford.

Darabont has been Oscar-nominated twice for his writing -- in 1995 for his adaptation of "The Shawshank Redemption" and in 2000 for "The Green Mile."

Shawshank and Green Mile...

Indiana Jones. Who crawled through 500 yards of shit smelling foulness and came out covered in shit on the other side.

Ah, heart warming tale of how Indy, arrested by the Nazis and under sentence of death discovers himself through a misterious fellow prisoner and then escapes dynamically when he learns to use a light fitting as a bullwhip. (Cue scene in which it looks like he's lost hope but instead of hanging himself he uses the fitting to grab a cable out the window and slides down, pausing only to rescue his father). Then he attacks Castle Wolfenstein all on his own and stops the super soldier plot.

Actually this guy also wrote The Fly 2, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (well technically that was Mary Shelley) and Nightmare on Elm Street 3. So perhaps Indy will rediscover Castle Frankenstein and stop a terrible Nazi plot to control people's dreams by using the mystical Glove of Krueger thought lost since the second crusade. Indy fights rubber monsters and that character from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles who became mixed with a fly and then sent out of time.

You get the job.
