We've been crushed recently at the rumors that George didn't like the script for Indiana Jones 4, so when we heard some rumblings on the current state of the project we wanted to get them into your hands as quickly as possible. Apparently the film is not dead as many have feared, though being stalled is a fair description. Here's what we're hearing, consider it rumor for now:

- The 4th Indiana Jones was indeed stalled because of problems with the script. From what we gather the script didn't satisfy the "3 principals." From what we can tell, Lucas is taking the hit for this despite the fact that those in the know making no mention of Lucas specifically as the source of the problem.
- We believe that Paramount has pushed the release date back a year, from July 4th weekend 2005 to 4th of July 2006. There is still "every reason to believe" the film will get made, despite the growing concern for ages. - To fill the gap that moving Indy IV to 2006 created, the studio has green-lit a remake of "The Longest Yard" staring Adam Sandler and Chris Rock with a target release of Memorial Day 2005 (and also direct Star wars III competition, noted).
Sounds great, we're just releaved to hear it is still in the works. Now, if we could just get our hands on that problematic script ...- We believe that Paramount has pushed the release date back a year, from July 4th weekend 2005 to 4th of July 2006.
