Would that be the same Indian Jones film that, last year, they said would be shot this year? Or is it the one that, in 2003, they said would be shot in 2004?
It's a different scr ipt than those. Frank Darabont did a draft (or probably several) that Spielberg and Ford both liked but Lucas didn't. If Lucas had liked it, the 4th Indy would have been shot when WAR OF THE WORLDS was.
There's another writer on the project now, and I think Lucas bought off on this work, so Indy 4 will very likely go into production once Spielberg finishes his Olympics movie.
Caution regarding announced projects is a good idea; cynicsm is a waste of energy. I don't recall either Lucas or Spielberg ever announcing movies they didn't really intend to make. Sometimes the projects fall through (what a surprise), but these guys hardly need to drum up publicity by announcing projects they don't plan to make.
