I found this short article about Indy 4. Nothing particularly new, but it's mentioned that the movie will take place in the late 1940s, rather than the often-rumored 1950s. (yeah, I know, not exactly earth-shattering news....)
Kathleen Kennedy (one of the producers for Indiana Jones 4) was interviewed about the fourth installment of Indiana Jones:
"We’re working on a screenplay," says Kennedy, long-time producing partner of Steven Spielberg. "I know this sounds like something that we’ve been saying for 15 years, but I’m hoping that we’re going to see something in a couple of months. Jeff Nathanson is working on the script right now… I will say this: If it comes in and we’re all happy with it, it will be more than likely the next thing we do."
Although George Lucas and Steven Spielberg have approved the latest rough draft of Indiana Jones 4, Kennedy stated: "It’s one thing to approve something, it’s another thing to say it’s greenlit and we’re shooting it. So we’re just in that sort of phase of finessing."
Is Harrison Ford getting too old to play Indiana Jones?
"No, I don’t think so. Certainly we’re not writing the script as though he’s 20 years old. You know, Sean Connery spent a lot of time in the Bond role and whatnot. I think it’s great that we can go make another Indiana Jones movie and Indy can be a little older. I think playing with that is a good thing."
In what decade will Indy 4 be set?
"Ahhhh, yeah. The late 1940s."
Who will be the villains?
"I’m not going to tell you the story!" she laughs. "What do you think, I’m nuts?! You’ll be here next year and ask me if I’m working on the Indy movie. 'No, I got fired!'"
