Indiana Jones
George Lucas has been popping up a lot recently to discuss his anti- blockbuster campaign, his supposed retirement, Star Wars: Clone Wars, and Indiana Jones 4.
So far none of them seem to be coming soon.
Indy 4 Updates
The updates for Indiana Jones IV are all the same. We get it, the script still isn't finished, but it might be close.
The good people over at MTV recently caught up with George Lucas and got the director to give an update on the Star Wars animated series, Clone Wars, and Indy IV. As one might expect, Clone Wars is farther along.
"We've got a number of episodes finished now," he promised. "It looks really good. It's a lot of fun.
"It's that same time period," Lucas added of the show, which is being shopped to various channels. "But it's quite a bit more sophisticated, and it's not like anything you've ever seen on television before. ... [Tartakovsky] used his distinctive 2-D style to do [Clone Wars], but it was two minutes at a time, so it was a test-subject kind of idea. It worked and everything, but then we knew we were eventually going to do a 3-D animated series."
What is the latest on Indiana Jones IV?
"Steve and I are still working on the script," Lucas said, but he wouldn't confirm rumors that Indy will have some sort of young apprentice — family member or otherwise — in the flick (see "George Lucas Says Indiana's Next Crack Of The Whip Will Be Tamer"). "We don't know yet, because we haven't got the script finished yet."
Indy's executive producer did, however, reveal one theme that he's determined to address in the first "Jones" flick since 1989's "The Last Crusade." "Well, he's an old man," Lucas admitted. "That'll be in there."
To learn more on Lucas's upcoming projects and the live-action Star Wars series set to begin production in 2007, head on over to MTV.
