You can never tell. A couple of years back, I once went to Panavision over at the WB Movieworld Studios (on the Gold Coast, Australia) and they had told me that Walden Media were considering to shoot Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader here. That was info I got in 2007, and well, proof's in the pudding: they shot Narnia here this year and were here for months (and I tried to get on to that one through a backdoor, friend of a friend kind of thing, I hate it when it doesn't work out).
The fact that Shane Black may be working on Doc Savage, would certainly make him a candidate to write Indy V. At least, I would think so.
I personally quite liked Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. That was the film I saw to celebrate graduating high school.

Now that's interesting. The more and more I think about it, that makes more sense. I asked him about any project he was excited to see come to fruition. He got real excited and explained that Black was approached to (paraphrasing) "Write a draft for a certain fedora wearing action adventure hero from the thirties." I assumed Indiana Jones. and I even said Indy 5? and he didn't disagree with me... so maybe he was purposely putting me on. Anyway...
I must confess I had no idea who Doc Savage was. Until now.
Does doc savage even wear a fedora?

Doc Savage, Man of Bronze. Indy's poor relation. I remember seeing an old movie, but it was a lot more campy than Indiana Jones.
Doc isn't normally associated with a fedora. There can only be one 'man in the hat'...
Frank Marshall's at ILM, but don't get excited...

I have an inside source that says NDY 5 is not going to happen. According to him, Lucas has not even started the script or treatment.

I'm not dismissing what you're saying. But, how can a janitor know what George Lucas is up to? I highly doubt that he can even see Lucas, let alone know what he's doing.
I'm sorry that I have my doubts, but I think you could understand my side.

Janitor's are super spies in disguise. This janitor could have the key to Lucas's office to "vaccum" the dorito crumbs from under his desk every night but in reality, perhaps he does some rummaging.

It sure is possible. Because if I was a janitor there; I'd do the same thing.

At this point I'm not getting my hopes up. There have been no significant quotes or stories in the last few months and I'm afraid that this project may be on the back-burner. For better or worse it would be nice to have some confirmation either way.
As long as everyone continues to keep their schedules relatively free, I think we can take it as a pretty good sign. You have to assume that most of the specifics were agreed upon prior to the start of Indy 4 anyway.
If they really are thinking about a 2012 release date, there's no reason to expect any major details for another year. Indy 4 news didn't begin heating up until late 2006, and the film wasn't formally announced until early 2007.
