Jones 4 is still on track. A couple days before the New Year Lucas and company confirmed that we could expect the fourth Indy installment some time in May of 2008. We were told that filming would begin in 2007, but with all the letdown on the project something so broad just wasn't good enough.
Lucas, Spielberg and Ford reemerged on the first to confirm that filming will begin this June.

It looks like we can finally take their word for it. Though Lucas and company spent part of 2005 and the beginning of 2006 wasting our time with promises of a working script, it took David Koepp (Spider-Man) to deliver something worth filming.
Ready to sound old? Indiana Jones IV will be released some 19 years after the last film, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Because of the extended wait, Harrison Ford is now older than Sean Connery was in Crusade.
"I'm delighted to be back in business with my old friends. I don't know if the pants still fit, but I know the hat will," said Ford, who is 64.
Harrison Ford will again topline the film as the adventuring archeologist. Frank Marshall is set to produce, while Kathleen Kennedy and George Lucas are exec producing.
Though no title or storyline has been released, Lucas continues to hint that the film should be the best installment yet with plenty of action.
Since the first three Indiana Jones films grossed $1.18 billion at the box office, Paramount has to be feeling pretty happy about their recent acquisition of DreamWorks.
