: : : Check out Harry Knowles' Ain't It Cool news about a possible Indy 4 storyline. The link is posted on Micah's page.
: : : BTW, I read the news and it sounds a lot like the idea behind Raiders of the Fallen Empire, howeve Hary posted it as Indiana Jones and the Ultimate Destiny. Personally I like the Raiders title better.
: : : Anyway, if this story is filmed, it could be really good. I think it's one of the best ideas mentioned so far.
: : It's probably just a big fat lie, posted by some loser on the internet with no life of his or her own...
: : There's so much rumor out there that I think we should just ignore all of it, and place our faith in the filmmakers to do a good job. We can talk gossip 'till we're blue in the face, but it won't change anything...

: Besides, who would want to ruin the movie? Wouldn't you want it to be a suprise??? Don't you hate it when you spoil the movie like that???

If I knew the whole story prior to seeing the movie, yes I'd hate it. But knowing just tidbits of info doesn't spoil it for me.
Ex: Before TOD was released, I read some articles about the rope bridge scene and also how Indy was poisoned. but I didn't know the whole story. Actually I expected the whole poisoned routine to last the length of the movie, not the first 15 minutes. So, I was surprised and thought the movie was great.
However, before Last Crusade, I made the mistake of reading the novelization. Despite being a good movie, i was extremely dissappointed. There was no surprise involved. Thus reading the book ruined the movie experience, and I'll never do it again.
