It looks like Steven Spielberg really wants to make another Indiana Jones film. During a recent interview with Yahoo to promote his latest project, the Tom Hanks fronted cold war thriller Bridge of Spies; the prolific director joked about the futures of his two most famous leading men.
"We've gotta figure this out because now, Tom is tied with Harrison Ford: Harrison and I did four movies, Tom and I have done four movies," Spielberg explained. "Now I'll probably do an Indy 5 with Harrison, [so] it'll be five for Harrison, four for Tom."
The two actors have starred in many of Spielberg's biggest hits. Ford counts 4 Indy films on his resume while Hanks has previously appeared in Saving Private Ryan, Catch Me If You Can, and The Terminal.
Spielberg says that the pair will be a big part of the latter stages of his career.
"I've got to make another one with Tom, that'll be five for Tom, five for Harrison. And I think I'm going to leapfrog that way for the rest of my career. With Daniel Day-Lewis in everything else!"
Indiana Jones 5 rumors have swirled for a while now. Back in May, Lucas film boss Kathleen Kennedy told Vanity Fair that a sequel was in the works, but gave no timetable for its arrival in theatres. The article says:
'Kennedy confirmed rumors that another Indy movie "will one day be made inside this company. When it will happen, I'm not quite sure. We haven't started working on a script yet, but we are talking about it."'
The previous installment in the Indy series, Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull hit theatres in 2008 and counted Cate Blanchett and Shia LaBeouf among its cast members.
