Entertainment news nibbles

Hmmm, let's start the day with some entertainment news nibbles. The biggie announcement of the past few days is that Dr Jones is back! In May 2008, everyone's favourite whip-cracking, Nazi-bashing archaeologist, Indiana Jones, will be returning to the big screen. Although, I'm actually terrified at the prospect of my all-time favourite film franchise (Temple of Doom was the first movie I ever saw) being ruined by attempts to cash in on the brilliant originals 20 years after the fact. I have faith in Steven Spielberg, but George Lucas has lost it and Harrison Ford is looking a little rough for the action hero stuff.

Koepp Keeps Indiana Jones Alive

Screenwriter David Koepp (Spider-Man, Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds) has succeeded in pulling off what several other top screenwriters had failed at: provide an Indiana Jones sequel that would satisfy the three principals -- George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and Harrison Ford. The three confirmed on Monday that they plan to begin filming Koepp's script -- a title was not disclosed -- for the fourth Indiana Jones film in June, with a May 2008 target for worldwide release. The last Indiana Jones move, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, was released by Paramount in 1989. Spielberg told reporters, "We feel that the script was well worth the wait. We hope it delivers everything you'd expect from our history with Indiana Jones. ... George, Harrison and I are all very excited."


Anyway, the 300 MySpace site has been updated again with lots more goodies for fans.

And here's something that is potentially VERY interesting. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and last of the Harry Potter books will be released in 2007. According to The Leaky Cauldron, a few newspapers are muttering about Deathly Hallows being released on 07/07/07 to maximise the number 7 connection.
