For what it's worth:
George Lucas was interviewed by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and the topic of Indiana Jones came up (emphasis added by me):
So Indy IV is going to be more 50's B-movie than 30's Cliffhanger in style? That's interesting....
George Lucas was interviewed by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and the topic of Indiana Jones came up (emphasis added by me):
Q: "Fog City Mavericks" describes your childhood interest in anthropology. With Indiana Jones in the related field of archaeology, is there some aspect of your interest that you'll bring to "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," due in theaters on May 22, 2008?
A: The Indy movies are sort of the least involved with anthropology, which has to do with mythology and the way we form our culture. I think of anthropology as a form of psychological archaeology as opposed to the regular archaeology of digging up physical things and culture. It's trying to figure out what people think and what they believe. ...
Both "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" were based on serials from the '30s, but the new Indiana Jones we've switched because it takes place in the '50s instead of the '30s, so it's more based on B-movies of the '50s, so it is a little bit different. But it's still Indiana Jones, it's still a quest for something and all that.

Extra Spoils New 'Indiana Jones' Plot
(Sept. 25) -- If you're an aspiring actor in Hollywood, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas are probably the two worst people to have on your bad side.
Thanks to his loose lips, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" extra Tyler Nelson has both movie-making legends furious at him for leaking key plot points to the new "Indy" movie set to be released in May of 2008. Page Six reports that Spielberg is so mad, he's cutting Nelson's scenes from the film.
In an interview with the Edmond Sun, Nelson's hometown newspaper, the 24-year-old actor gave away "Crystal Skull" details, which was forbidden thanks to the nondisclosure agreement every crew and cast member signed prior to production. Page Six lists the plot points given by Nelson, which include various scenes with Harrison Ford , Cate Blanchett and Shia LaBeouf.
In response to the leaks, Spielberg's spokesman asked Page Six: "Who knows whether that particular person will ever work in this town again?"
Nelson's representative at the Thomas Talent Agency agreed, saying that Nelson is "in trouble. He's got to know that he can't do that."

'INDIANA' BLABBER FACES DOOM
September 25, 2007 -- A BIG-mouthed extra working on the new "Indiana Jones" flick has blown his fledgling movie career to smithereens by spilling the film's major plot points.
Director Steven Spielberg and producer George Lucas made the entire cast and crew of "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" sign nondisclosure agreements. But Tyler Nelson - cast as a "dancing Russian soldier" - gave an interview to his hometown newspaper, the Edmond Sun in Oklahoma, in which he revealed that:
Spielberg's spokesman, Marvin Levy, wouldn't say whether any of Nelson's spoilers are accurate, but noted: "Who knows whether that particular person will ever work in this town again?"
Reached by Page Six yesterday, Nelson told us, "No comment. I'm not supposed to talk about it." But his rep at the Thomas Talent Agency said, "He's in trouble. He's got to know that he can't do that."
Meanwhile, there have been behind-the-scenes machinations to get the story squashed. Nelson got the Edmond Sun to yank the story from its Web site, with an employee there telling us: "We removed it out of respect to a hometown boy." And plot-spoilers posted on Harry Knowles' influential Ain't It Cool News site also vanished. Knowles didn't return our call.
The movie, fourth in the "Indiana Jones" series, is set to hit theaters in May.

That is so silly. Is this day and age you can't keep anything secret, so why worry about it. So why even get angry at it?
The guy was stupid to sign an agreement and spill the beans, but there is a serious over reaction here. He basically revealed that Indy gets in trouble with Russians while looking for the title object. Oh no, could've never guessed.
The only big news there is that
but that seems obvious in hindsight.
Hell I remember Lucas trying to tell Spielberg he was crazy for trying to keep the film a secret, because he knew from the prequels how impossible it was.

I think he's a fucking idiot for signing a confidentiality clause and then spilling plot points on a movie this big. He had to know there would be repercussions for that. Stupid. Not that the plot points were huge, but that's not really the point.

By TATIANA SIEGEL

Suspect charged in "Indiana Jones" theft
Thursday October 4 10:22 AM ET
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has arrested a man in connection with the theft of computers, photographs and documents from director Steven Spielberg's upcoming fourth "Indiana Jones" film.
The Tuesday afternoon arrest took place during a sting operation in West Hollywood, according to sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore.
He said officers posing as potential buyers arrested the man on suspicion of receiving stolen property. The goods had been advertised for sale through emails sent out to entertainment-gossip Web sites.
"He is on what is known as parole hold," said Whitmore who declined to release the man's name. "We believe there's more people involved and don't want to release the name until this plays out," he added.
On September 24, the sheriff's department was notified that some items had been taken from Spielberg's production office on the Universal Pictures lot.
