Indiana Jones to return
September 02, 2004
HARRISON Ford may be getting a bit long in the tooth, but there's a very good chance he's about to dust off his whip and hat to play Indiana Jones just one last time.
Ford's role as the title character helped make the Indiana Jones films one of the most celebrated and popular franchises in cinematic history and there's been speculation for years that a fourth instalment will be made.
Visiting actor John Rhys-Davies, who played the major role of Sallah in Raiders of the Lost Ark and reprised it in the third film, The Last Crusade, revealed to Confidential that a new film finally looks set to go ahead.
"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."
