Spielberg Mum on 'Indiana Jones 4'

LOS ANGELES - Director Steven Spielberg absolutely, positively won't reveal the plot for "Indiana Jones 4."

Spielberg, whose latest film, "War of the Worlds," debuted in Tokyo on Monday, said he and "Star Wars" director George Lucas are working on the movie together.

"If I did that, my really good friend and collaborator would have me on a silver platter," Spielberg told AP Radio. "I gotta be careful because if I tell you that he might take over directing 'Indy 4' himself. And I won't have a job."

What if the wind is howling and the wolves are hungry for information?


This really says something about their "friendship"....

That's why in interviews Spielberg puts his hands together like he is praying...

Is it just me or is Spielberg making a threat?

I agree, I don't think it was said as a joke.

Look, if we all give some cash I think the going rate is like $25,000 to $35,000 for a hit, Lucas is high profile, but I know a few former Marines who hated Jar-jar so . . .

aaah. Good to be back to the Raven. As for this, it was clearly a joke.

I thank Gilles for posting the link to the Slate article that details the relationship. Two words: passive-aggressive.

Good article. . . .gotta start doing more on Slate than just heckling Garry Trudeau.

If both soley made movies, I could see the underlying resentment argument. But they don't.

Spielberg has clearly made more hit movies, but GL's ILM changes cinema almost daily. You can't really quantify or compare each other because they are studs in two very different areas which compliment and improve each other's product. GL makes Spielberg's movies incredible with ever-improving technology, and Spielberg continues to give GL's ILM bigger challenges, forcing them to get even better at what they do.

So to say, for example, that they compete like Pepsi and Coke, doesn't make sense. I'd say it's more of an IBM/Intel arrangement. They're both competing for business, but they also need each other to sell their "product".

They're very good friends, and throw pranks at each other regularly (ET in the SW Senate chamber, for instance). They both have a great sense of humor. That's as far as it goes, IMO.

Good lord, please. Somebody shut the man up. If Lucas directs it, can you see it?

We see a teenage Indy standing in front of a group of archaeologists, his face ridden with angst.

"I'm going to be the most powerful archaeologist EVER!"
