		<description><![CDATA[One thing's for sure, it won't be twenty years until we see another INDIANA JONES film with Harrison Ford as the whip cracking adventurer. It's going to be soon, likely within the next four years, or never again with the aging star who at 66, can't have that many years left in the tank to lead a summer tentpole spectacular.

Ford told The L.A. Times on Friday that Lucas was "in think mode" for a fifth INDY film, a movie that Spielberg, Lucas &#38; Ford have continuously stated could be a possibility after the $783 million worldwide success of INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL this year.


"It's crazy but great... we did well with the last one and with that having done well and been a positive experience, it's not surprising that some people want to do it again," Ford said.
After being burned twice with Lucas and his reinventions of franchises, I'm not one to get excited about any future INDIANA JONES movies anymore. Which is a real shame because Harrison was great in KOTCS, he deserved better and I would love to pay to see the character again but never in such a flawed movie.

		<description><![CDATA[I know this was mentioned last week by Spike Lee but I wanted to await on some kind of official confirmation, simply because I rarely trust directors when they are talking about their peers projects rather than their own.

Anyway, we got some kind of official confirmation today (well unless Variety are just reporting Lee's comments as being official) that t.v. helmer Anthony Hemingway will be directing RED TAILS, the years in the making WW-II fighter movie about Tuskegee Airmen penned by George Lucas.



Lucas originally wanted to direct the movie in 1989 but then decided to completely hault his career to raise his family, then when he did return he decided to spend over a decade working on three more STAR WARS movies. One wonders what a career Lucas may have had if he had never taken that break.

John Ridley who wrote the story THREE KINGS, has been writing based on Lucas' outline for the past 12 months. Director Hemingway has worked on The Wire, E.R. and CSI: NY.

RED TAILS were the first African-American pilots to fly in a combat squadron during World War II, overcoming racism in the military to form the Tuskegee Airmen.

Production will begin in March in Italy, ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ In a recent interview about The Clone Wars on starwars.com, executive producer George Lucas talks about there being three worlds to the Star Wars universe:
There’s my world that I made up, there’s the licensing world, that’s the books, the comics, all that kind of stuff, the games, which is their world, and then there’s the fans’ world, which is also very rich in imagination, but they don’t always mesh. All I’m in charge of is my world.
According to Lucas, The Clone Wars lands firmly on this first world, a seventh movie in the Star Wars canon. But there's a double standard at work here. Lucas is happy to borrow from the second world whenever it suits his purposes. If you were to take a look at starwars.com today, you'd be hard-pressed to find a reference to Cartoon Network's award-winning 2003 series Star Wars: Clone Wars, yet The Clone Wars borrows from it wholesale.

For those who haven't seen the 2003 cartoon, Clone Wars takes place between the events of Episode II - Attack of the Clones and Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. Anakin Skywalker has earned himself a battlefield promotion and is now a full-fledged Jedi Knight, but ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[George Lucas has gone off on his usual ramblings of a mad man, further fuelling the argument that he may well be insane and that the best thing for him to do right now would be to lock the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises into his Skywalker Ranch basement and never let them out again!


But Lucas will never do that, in fact in an interview with Times Online it sounds like he is all ready to go on an Indiana Jones V if Steven Spielberg can be convinced to do it...
“If I can come up with another idea that they like, we’ll do another. Really, with the last one, Steven wasn’t that enthusiastic. I was trying to persuade him. But now Steve is more amenable to doing another one. Yet we still have the issues about the direction we’d like to take. I’m in the future; Steven’s in the past. He’s trying to drag it back to the way they were, I’m trying to push it to a whole different place. So, still we have a sort of tension. This recent one came out of that. It’s kind of a hybrid of our own two ideas, so we’ll see ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Indiana Jones... I always knew you would come walking back through my door.

But then again I don't feel like he ever left - it was Harrison Ford that I had missed. My copies of Raiders of the Lost Ark (one of my favourite films of all time), Temple of Doom and The Last Crusade (one of my most watched films of all time) I get round to viewing at least once a year - never getting old, always being the same entertaining films I always thought they were and with Indy, the bumbling hero - the guy who made archaeology cool and was the definition of the ultimate mortal hero.

He hurts, he bleeds, he shows emotion but always comes back for more. Because history demands it!

Indy has been with me all my life but it's Harrison Ford that disappeared. He was my childhood hero, the man who I would look out for in movies to give me guidance on how and often how not to live my life. Then something happened... just after Air Force One he disappeared, hardly to be seen again. He became miserable, age and life had finally caught up to him. He would only take on ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Matt here... Eugenio is back once again. He had his ear to the ground post-screening of the new Indiana Jones screening at Cannes and he kindly let us know of the atmosphere of the press after the film had been seen. Again you can read his thoughts after the image...

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull opened at the Palais on Wednesday to strong reviews from the trade press at the festival, but some reservations from its audience. It's gala premiere on Sunday 18th was preceded by a press screening which was popular enough to have to turn back some members of the press.

Variety, Screen International and The Hollywood Reporter were all enthusiastic about the latest instalment from Spielberg and Lucas in their special daily editions for the festival. Most saw it as a fitting addition to the films of the trilogy, with the long chase sequence in the Amazoniana jungle and the performance of Harrison Ford as Indy getting particular repeated mentions.

Fans, however, those few that were able to get tickets to the premiere, gave mixed reviews. In particular, the UFO-driven storyline, a middle section that sags a little and at times too much dialogue and exposition ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is pretty hilarious. Out in Cannes - George Lucas was talking to Fox News about the future of the recently resurrected Indiana Jones franchise when he came up with this doozy of a quote...
"I haven’t even told Steven or Harrison this," he said. "But I have an idea to make Shia [LeBeouf] the lead character next time and have Harrison [Ford] come back like Sean Connery did in the last movie. I can see it working out.

"And it’s not like Harrison is even old. I mean, he’s 65 and he did everything in this movie. The old chemistry is there, and it’s not like he’s an old man. He’s incredibly agile; he looks even better than he did 20 years ago, if you ask me."
No shit Lucas.

Because NO-ONE saw that coming did they?

You yourself may not have told Spielberg or Ford - but the whole rest of the Internet land did last Summer.

If he keeps this franchise game up, LaBeouf may well become the richest young male actor around in another five years time.

On a side note - I booked my tickets tonight for Indiana Jones next week. A midnight showing on Wednesday night at my local cinema which ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's two nearly two decades since George Lucas completed his producing work on The Land Before Time, and since the faithful year of 1989 he has hasn't produced, written or directed anything that wasn't Star Wars or Indiana Jones. Well that's not strictly true as he did come up with the story for the instantly forgettable 1994 comedy Radioland Murders but apart from that, he has never again dabbled in anything outside of those two worlds, content in revisiting characters and the same situations, happy for the paychecks to keep coming through the door.

Over the last few years though the much maligned billionaire has often spoke of his desire to make an epic movie set around the Red Tails - who were the first African-American pilots to fly in a combat squadron during World War II but the cynics among us have dismissed the probability of it ever being made.

Maybe we shouldn't be so skeptical any more. Lucas said the  following when asked by Coming Soon what status the film was in, after the last we heard on the picture was in August when John Ridley (Undercover Brother, Three Kings) was hired to scribe the screenplay...
"As a matter of ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There's reports today around the web claiming that George Lucas is planning on bringing the new STAR WARS animated series to the big screen and although no official decision seems to have been made by LucasFilm at this time, something sure does seem to be brewing.

And after all it's not really that hard to believe is it? It's been nearly three years since his last money-making venture in the franchise and although INDY IV should keep him ticking over for a while, he just can't give up the ghost on that galaxy far, far away.

The first origin of today's story appears to be this U.K. action figure site which claims that the first three episodes of Lucas' upcoming CLONE WARS series will be distributed theatrically in the U.K. around September time, in what will be promoted as a 90 minute film. AICN picked up the story initially and then later in the day received an e-mail stating that the plan for the series is to actually release a film containing four episodes in the U.S. around the time of INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL'S release.

Which is ridiculously bizarre. Lucas would NEVER have two films of his ...]]></description>
