Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with yet one more interesting Lucas/Spielberg rumor for today. And I do stress the word rumor. I love John Rhys-Davies. I had the pleasure of meeting him in New Zealand last year and he's a lovely man, but from experience actors doing the convention circuit are usually a little out of the loop. But, I do believe what he says, if that makes any sense. I'm just wary because everything I've heard is that INDY 4 is dead, dead, dead.
If Lucas is really taking on full screenwriting duties, then consider me very nervous about this film. I still think Lucas is a brilliant concept guy. When he has had a Story By Credit on a Spielberg production I haven't been disappointed. If he's just toying around with Darabont's draft, then maybe he'll just add in some more popcorn fun and recognize Darabont's talent as a character writer by leaving the characters alone. I haven't read Darabont's script (I'd love to if anybody wants to share... anybody? No? Ok...), but let's just say I have more trust in Darabont than I do Lucas. What do you folks think?
Hey, hey. So whattaya think about this? Georgie Boy is rewriting INDY 4 himself. Good grief, its enough to make you shit in your fedora.

"I was talking to Steven Spielberg the other day ... we discussed a fourth one," said Rhys-Davies, who is in Australia for a science fiction convention due to his role as Gimli in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
"We're in with the chance of making something absolutely extraordinary," he added.
It was rumoured that Indiana Jones co-writer and producer George Star Wars Lucas had shelved the project earlier this year, which Rhys-Davies confirmed.
"George Lucas had reservations about the script and he said, 'The only way I can express my reservations is making another pass at the script myself', so it's gone back at least a year.
"It is the intention of these three great filmmakers [Lucas, Spielberg and Ford] to make another one."
