Marshall Talks INDY, JURASSIC, & BOURNE

Reporter Edward Douglas at Comingsoon took advantage of his discussion with producer Frank Marshall. He hit three major genre franchises with his questions, grabbing the latest on JURASSIC PARK 4, INDIANA JONES & THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL & the possibility of BOURNE 4. For his part, Frank Marshall had things to say about all three projects.

For BOURNE 4;

"There were only three books written. I know they've written a fourth but it wasn't written by Ludlum," Marshall said. "Look, we would love to continue the franchise. We just need a great story, and we're not going to do it unless we have a great story, but we are working on coming up with one, and Matt said to me, ‘Look, you hand me a great script, I'm in.' Unfortunately, we're not able to do any writing at the moment, but we're all thinking about it."

For JURASSIC PARK 4;

He thought that they were still shooting for it to come out in the summer of 2009, but that they were also waiting for the strike to end to further work on the script. "There's an idea and we just have to see if it shakes out."

For INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL;

"It's kind of been out there in the air, but we never had the right script, and we kind of put it on the backburner and then back in 2000, we all went to the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award for Harrison. George and Harrison and Steven and I and Kathy were all backstage all dressed up and we were looking at clips from the movies and we thought, ‘God, those were really fun. Maybe we oughta really focus on trying to do another one." And that's what happened. David Koepp came up with a great script finally, and we're done shooting and now in the editing process. It's pretty amazing."
