Rhys-Davies says Indiana Jones 4 is still happening

I had the chance to chat to "Indiana Jones" star John Rhys-Davies this week in Sydney, but unfortunately I’m heading overseas, so had to turn it down. If I’d had the chance, I would’ve definitely asked him what the heck is going on with "Indiana Jones 4". Thankfully, someone else did.

News.Com.Au features an interview with the actor, saying that Indy Jones is still very much alive. 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."
