I don't think the time frame will work out for the big three. Will it get made? Maybe. With Harrison Lucas and Spielberg all together? Not so sure. Steve has a lot on his plate. Lucas has the time. The sand in the hour glass is slowly running out on Ford before he is just simply too old.
Even with the favorable comments coming from Marshal and LaBafoon, I think it looks a little grim.
If unforeseen circumstances will not be considered, they could do the 5th-Indiana Jones movie if they really would.
Because it is fun to them, like they pronounced,I think they will do anotherone within the next 2..4 years.
Yay! Wasn't is supposed to be five parts originally anyway?
Although I still like KotCS I would love to see a fifth part that won everyone who didn't like Indy IV back over.

I'd like it to happen, as despite the reservations I had about Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, I do think it was at least an entertaining film, and I think there's life in the series yet, but somehow I doubt it'll happen. I mean, I'd love to be proved wrong, and that by this time next year they'll be filming it, but somehow I doubt we'll be getting a fifth wrong - but I'd still like one, as contradictory as that is!

i would love to see another film --- there still plenty of macguffins out there , and ford could still play indy, the can film stuff in such a way and edit it to look like he still has the moves , it may take longer to film but they can do it .
Far from hurting the series, I think a fifth movie would actually bolster it in the long run.
Another film centered around Ford's older portrayal of Indy would balance the franchise out nicely, while lending greater significance to it as a body of work. It's quite rare for the same filmmaking team to revisit a property over a span of three decades. (Offhand, I'm not even sure it's been done before.)
KOTCS would also benefit, as it would no longer be the odd man out. Another entry suddenly makes it a modern franchise- as opposed to an 80's holdover that was merely running on nostalgia. This would improve the possibility of attracting new fans, while keeping it relevant for at least the immediate future.
I think it's more likely that it'll get a 2012 release.
Yes, but it wouldn't surprise me if they were eyeing the 30th anniversary of ROTLA. Memorial Day 2011 is still available, so it's similar to what happened back in 2006. (Remember, Indy 4 wasn't officially announced until January 2007.)
It all depends on how much work the story/script received during the build-up to Indy 4. If it's truly something they were working on back in 2005/2006, then I could see it being finalized within the next six months.
I wonder if they did make a movie in about 1 to 2 years that it might be great. You know it would be written fast and there wouldn't be a lot of thinking & rethinking, just shot from the hip fast & dirty filmmaking! All instinct, just like the old days!
I had to go with not sure yet. I'm just way too skeptical of any major improvements after Skull, and to be perfectly honest, I just don't know if Spielberg has it in him anymore!
The fact that they're even talking about a V says a lot about how they feel about the last one. Granted, the movie made Scrooge McDuck dollars, but if Last Crusade was the fourth one, they wouldn't be gearing up for part 5, let's just say that.
Busy schedule or not, if the big three want to put this on the top of their must-do list, they will. Lucas isn't forcing them to use a Macguffin that he loves? Check. They're taking it more seriously? Check. Audiences can lasso their expectations out of the sky and rope them back into a place we call reality, and enjoy this movie for what it is...a movie?
Interesting. Personally, I'm still torn. A fifth film would allow the series an opportunity to recover some of its respect lost from KotCS, but this is Lucas we're talking about here. Look at how badly milked Star Wars is. Han Solo's nipples will never be the same.
Also, any speculations that this would be *the last* escapade?

They each made about $70 million a piece from KOTCS. I think that's how they feel about it.
I'm sure Lucas loves KOTCS and we know Spielberg loves aliens so I don't think he really had an issue with the idea. I think he was more concerned with earlier drafts that had an actual alien invasion. He felt they were too similar to recent alien films. I don't think they have the slightest issue with KOTCS. Harrison may have certain reservations, but most of his recent films are way sub-par to KOTCS.
Of Course!
