So, of course, there's now a few possibilities on the table.
A) There's not any new news, and they're just keeping the Indy name - and by extension, their own names - in the public eye.
B) Spielberg's original comment about "genre" was a mistake because it was inaccurate, and he's now correcting it.
C) Spielberg's original comment about "genre" was a mistake because it incited reactions and speculation that they didn't hope for, and he's now correcting it.
Possibility C is the most interesting, by far, but B will probably strike some as perhaps the most likely. Those with more experience tracking Spielberg's statements will be able to say how often he misspeaks in similar fashion. Otherwise, we might need to defer to things like his conversation with John Williams, and its seemingly willful inaccuracies.
Possibility A? I choose not to believe that they're that craven. None of them need help to remain in the public eye, and there's not any Indy merchandising that would benefit from Spielberg's comments.
Anyhow, I'm happy to run with the possibility that Spielberg let on more than he intended. Should keep things interesting around here...
