We all know the last 5+ years of Indy 4 history pretty well. However, there's a big gap in my knowledge of the project.
From my own point of view, I remember the official announcement of (circa) October 1993 when our three friends said that they were going to reconvene some day to make a fourth instalment -- but the next I really heard of it was early 2000 when the first three films came out on video in 2.35:1. There were short 'making-of's on those tapes and George Lucas said they had a script for number 4.
It started rolling thereafter, with Spielberg giving an interview about A.I. in 2001 in which he said (something like) "the Indy 4 hat is halfway on my head".
But is there any definite history of those quieter years? Who wrote that script Lucas talked of in 1999/2000? Did 'the big three' say anything about the film in that time?
Has anyone put together a chronological, “in their own words”, collection of soundbites from the Indy alumni dating from, well, 1989 onwards? They’ve certainly been asked for updates often enough! What a fascinating read that would be.
