but we already know where the Garden of Eden is. Jackson County, MO...right, Mormons?
Thor's hammer would be awesome...but Marvel has probably ruined that for us.

actually, I do agree biblical artifacts are the best. Why? Because they are familiar in our western culture.featofstrength said:but we already know where the Garden of Eden is. Jackson County, MO...right, Mormons?

Well, I don't know how old this interview is, but it flies in the face of all the previous comments leading up to this.
Old interview, or misdirection?
Also, "there aren't that many of them in the world":
WAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Really?

Sounds like Shia's now saying that he's not sure if he's gonna be in it. Karen Allen doesn't know if she's going to be in it. Ford is trying to convince Sean Connery to come back. If all of this is to be believed,.......prequel......? That's a pretty long sequence of all leaps of faith, but it had to be said, I guess.
(Indy's brother wonders if it's even worth hoping for something this awesome)

Oh, and here's the Babelfish translation of that Shia interview. Still garbeled, but a little more intelligible:

not to mention all of the individual threads about specific ideas that weren't included in this thread. You're right, three is not a lot. There are many more out there.
It's not really an unpopular view on the quantity of relics for Indy to get involved with.
Here's the link to Moedred's list of Indy 5 quotes.

Sorry JP, I guess I don't really know what you mean.

I don't necessarily take from that quote that they haven't decided on a MacGuffin yet. He says that's the one of the hardest things, but doesn't say that they are still trying to choose one.
Regardless, I think all statements about Indy 5 short of an official announcement that it is or is not happening definitely have to be taken with a grain of salt, as is evidenced by all of the contradicting information. If you try to make sense of all of this information and how it ties together you could twist your brain into a pretzel, and even if you think you've got it figured out you'll probably end up being wrong.
The waiting is extremely frustrating.

Absolutely true, however it was entertaining to read through that artifact thread I posted a link to a few hours ago. Some of the pre-kotcs posts were danger close!

I could probably spend a month sifting through old threads to show which posts and rumors scored direct hits on KOTCS......and for many fans the speculation is just as fun if not more so than the actual film. I don't fit into this category, personally, I'm just impatiently waiting for GL to come through.
After waiting so long for Indy 4, the prospect of never knowing until it's undeniably too late in the game for an Indy 5 for even diehard hold-outs such as myself is a pretty miserable one.

All these quotes and rumours that are emerging aren't really news. It's as though every now and then one of the individuals previously involved is asked about Indy 5 by the media, and they respond to the best of their ability: that is, they haven't got a clue what's happening. When this 'rumour' gets printed it then looks initially like Indy 5 is still happening. Though we barely need to read between the lines to understand that nobody is sure!

I also read George's statement the same way: that he meant there weren't many "specific" artifacts in the world with the "certain qualities" that he's looking for.
I also agree that it was a strange thing to say, since there are plenty of other "specific" artifacts in the world of myhology, such as Thor's Hammer of the Spear of Longinus.
While the Ark, Grail and Aliens are big ones, TOD even went for something less specific in the Sankara Stones that Indy encountered, as they were specific to the village in India (the Stones weren't unique, and other villages might have their own).
So, George doesn't even have a track record of using just the big world-wide myth artifacts.

I'm not getting the feeling that they'll go for a prequel. I'm thinking that would cause confusion, considering Indy was re-launched in 2008 after a 19 year big-screen absence. Now he's been re-established I think they'll push forward in time, rather than jump backwards again.
What I do think is that these quotes from Shia and Karen demonstrate that they know as little as we do about what's going on!

Well, Shia's previous quote stated that he was called in to SS's office and given a summary of Indy 5. He has not retracted this, and no one else involved has called b.s. on it. If he was called in, and SS pitched the plot to him, he is probably in it. Also, that means they do have a story. And most likely a macguffin. Karen Allen's bit with Mitchell Hallock indicated that she knew something. The more recent quotes are suspiciously "less informative". "Secretive" would be another term. "Intentionally obtuse" could be another.
