Of Paramount Importance?

I finally read the Spielberg interview in Starlog, so I belatedly offer some random thoughts:

His comments about dealing with Indy still being a graverobber at 59-

Sounds like it WILL still be business as usual for Dr. Jones.

On a love story ala Connery and Hepburn's Robin Hood-

I take it that clears up the issue of Indy romancing a girl that's too young for him.

Maybe they do intend to bring back Karen Allen?

The remark that "believe it or not, they're giving us trouble"-

Of course it has to be over money,

Maybe the studio is looking at all of the blockbusters without big stars this summer and trying to lower that projected record salary Ford's rumoured to be getting?

If it was a case of studio politics (with Dreamworks), wouldn't Spielberg be involved in negotiating?

I dunno. Just some thoughts.

PS. Speaking of newstands, there's also an article in the new Premiere on the Jack Ryan franchise. A couple pics/quotes of Ford, but mostly just Tom Clancy saying he always thought Ford was too old. Good thing he isn't in charge of Indy.
