A fourth Indiana Jones movie may be further delayed as principals Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas have committments that fill their schedules well beyond the planned July 4, 2005, release date, E! Online reported. The fourth installment in the beloved movie franchise was initially targeted for release next year, but the script was sent back for a rewrite after Lucas decided he was displeased with the material, the site reported. Production is now slated to begin in 2005, with a release date in 2006.

Ford has signed on to star in The Wrong Element. Spielberg, meanwhile, will helm a movie dealing with the terrorist attack on the 1972 Munich Olympics and the subsequent films The Rivals, about the rivalry between 19th-century stage divas Sarah Bernhardt and Eleonora Duse, and The War of the Worlds, an adaptation of the classic H.G. Wells alien invasion tale, the site reported.

Lucas has been keeping himself occupied with Star Wars: Episode III, which is slated for release in May 2005.

Cripes! How old is Harrison Ford gonna be by the time this is released? What's it gonna be? Indy chases bad guys up stairs in his Stanna Stairlift. Forgets to carry up his zimmer frame. Has to go back down again to get it. Bad guy conveniently waits for him at top of stairs. The possibilities are endless! :lol:
