Really, how important would a “story” have been to Indiana Jones V, anyway? »

Dedicated screenwriting 101 here: From an interview with Harrison Ford on the MTV Movies Blog in which the inevitability of another Indiana Jones movie is mentioned:

This is all the convincing I need that Warner Bros. and Christopher Nolan have absolutely figured out how to bring innovation and excitement back to the way movies are marketed.
