Will Indy be old in the movie? Will it be highly referential?
“Indiana Jones 4” writer [number #552] David Koepp (“War of the Worlds”) dexterously fielded questions from FilmStew.com on what we can expect in the long-awaited fourth (and I’m guessing, final?) jaunt of the audacious Archaeologist.
With his life at stake if he reveals too much, the screenwriter is skimpy on info about the films plot, but does state the following: Indiana will be old in this one. He has to be.
On the other hand, there’s something he had to be wary of. “The worst thing to do would be to have him make reference to things he said in the first movie, like to pun on lines of dialogue,” he argues. “That’s tempting, because you’ve seen the movie a hundred times and you know all the dialogue, but no human being remembers exactly what they said 25 years ago word for word, much less make reference to it. So you try to put aside the other movies and yet be in the spirit of them.”
So…. No Dan Aykroyd greeting Indy at the airport, then?
