George Lucas talks Indy 5


From worstpreviews, George Lucas told SCI FI Wire that preliminary research has begun on a story for a possible fifth "Indiana Jones" movie, but added that such a film is one of dozens of potential projects currently crowding his schedule.

"It sits on the shelf there as one of 50 projects that I have to deal with," Lucas said in an interview. "And if I can come up with a story ..."

He added: "It's very hard to come up with stories for that thing. You know, It's really impossible. Because it has to be real. I has to be something that actually happened. It has to be something people know about. It has to be supernatural. It's a really difficult research project. Which they're researching now. You know, and last time it took 14 years. So ... "

Lucas was referring to this summer's fourth "Indiana Jones," which was in development for more than a decade before the pieces finally came together.

In recent press interviews, Lucas has said that the three principals -- himself, director Steven Spielberg and star Harrison Ford -- all have to agree on the idea for a fifth film to move forward. He has also said that Spielberg is more amenable to the idea of a further installment than he was last time around.
