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:
MTV: Is the ball in George’s court at this point?
Ford: It is. That’s the process. With some general input he goes off and searches for the MacGuffin and then stumbles [...]

In an industry like Hollywood where once-famous actors and actresses are thrown upon the heap of public boredom; where today’s hotshot agent can’t get anyone on the phone tomorrow; where crafty and clever screenwriters, having failed to score multi-million dollar spec sales, are stacked on the bottom of a low-level development executive’s weekend read list; [...]

I have to say that I’m entirely confused. Was the Summer 2008 popcorn summer movie season a good one or wasn’t it? The batpod-tastic success of The Dark Knight certainly seems as though we can mark this one in the “win” column, but on reflection I realize that I saw about a third fewer movies [...]

At first, I’d never been more proud. There we were, my three boys and me, strolling through the supermarket when two-year-old Michael Corleone blurts out:
Daddy, daddy, LOOK. Indiana Jones! Indiana Jones!
My heart swells with that rare rush of fatherly love and movie dork – what kind of a brilliant young son do I have who [...]

I’m about to lead off with a spoiler, so if you haven’t seen the movie, don’t read this article.
