• INDIANA JONES V &JURASSIC PARK 4

Steven Spielberg

In an Empire interview with The Adventures of Tintin and WarHorse director Steven Spielberg, talk turned to whether we'll see Jurassic Park4 and Indiana Jones 5 any time soon.

About Jurassic Park 4, he said, "The screenplay isbeing written right now by Mark Protosevich. I'm hoping that will come out inthe next couple of years. We have a good story. We have a better story for fourthan we had for three..."

Good news for Jurassic Park 4 but what about Indiana JonesV?

"You have to ask George Lucas. George is in charge ofbreaking the stories. He's done it on all four movies. Whether I like thestories or not, George has broken all the stories," he said, adding,"He is working on Indy V. We haven't gone to screenplay yet, but he's workingon the story. I'll leave it to George to come up with a good story."

He also addressed some of the criticism of Indiana Jones andthe Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, "I sympathise with people who didn'tlike the MacGuffin because I never liked the MacGuffin, he explained."George and I had big arguments about the MacGuffin. I didn't want thesethings to be either aliens or inter-dimensional beings. But I am loyal to mybest friend. When he writes a story he believes in - even if I don't believe init - I'm going to shoot the movie the way George envisaged it."
