Connery: Spielberg not doing Indy 4
From ComingSoon.net

Yamma hamma. Definitely not good news, if it is true.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen star Sean Connery talked to Entertainment Tonight about his possible involvement in Indiana Jones 4. While he says he's interested, he also reveals that, according to his contacts, director Steven Spielberg is off the project.
Connery says, "All I know is that somebody called the office and said that Steven was not doing the movie. That Harrison had in fact verbally agreed to do another one. And would I be interested? But of course I would, I had a very good experience with it. Disappointed to hear that Steven wouldn't be doing it. But in the end it always gets down to how good the book is, the script is, and if it's really workable."
Good news that Sean would be up for another film, but definitely disappointing to hear that Spielberg won't return. Or is Connery misinformed?

Well, they changed their mind.... or Lucasfilm changed their mind
Click for story
Steven Spielberg IS Directing Indiana Jones 4
Source: Lucasfilm Wednesday, July 2, 2003
What would Indiana Jones 4 be without director Steven Spielberg? Well, luckily you won't have to worry about that.
This morning we mentioned that Sean Connery told Entertainment Tonight he would be interested in starring in the fourth installment, but that "Steven was not doing the movie."
Connery said he had received a call and was told that, but Lucasfilm tells ComingSoon.net it's not so - "There is no truth to the rumor."
Steven Spielberg will still direct Indiana Jones 4 from a script by Frank Darabont and Harrison Ford will pick up the whip one more time.

The movie's been around for almost two years, you've had ample time to see it.
But don't waste your time, it ain't that great.
