Lucas sets out INDIANA JONES 4 timeline

While hyping his latest, STAR WARS EPISODE II: ATTACK OF THE CLONES, to the Britney and Puffy fans of MTV, George Lucas shed some light on his other massive series, INDIANA JONES.

When asked for probably the 5434th time about the chances for a fourth installment of the film, Lucas said, "We're in the process of hiring a writer and hopefully we'll be able to start shooting ... not next year, but probably the year after. It'll take a while to write the script and all that sort of thing."

More on this when that writer is named, which seems just around the corner (wink, wink).

No word on what the plot would be, but in recent interviews Steven Spielberg confirmed his wife and INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM co-star Kate Capshaw would be in a scene as her original Willie Scott character. More vague indications (the chief one being Indiana Jones himself Harrison Ford's advancing age) are that the film takes place in the 1950s.
