February 6, 2007 - It may have taken almost two decades to get the fourth Indiana Jones film going, but now that Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Harrison Ford have all agreed on a script, it looks like the project is happening pretty quickly. And the release of the film is coming real soon too, apparently -- like, in a year.
Box Office Mojo is reporting that Paramount has set May 22, 2008 as the release for what the site is calling the Fourth Installment of the Indiana Jones Adventures. (One hopes that Paramount comes up with a better name than that in the 15 months leading up to opening day.)
That date, if it's correct -- and there's no direct information from Paramount to confirm it yet -- would stick with the Memorial Day weekend release that one would expect from a picture of this magnitude. That method has been used in the past for previous Indy films, Star Wars pictures, and plenty of other major franchise openings.
Elsewhere in the May 2008 release schedule are Speed Racer, Iron Man, and The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.
