Harrison Ford said at the Rome Film Festival on Friday that he
was delighted to team up again with directors Steven Spielberg and
George Lucas for the film.
"We did three films that stay within
the same block of time. We need to move on for artistic reasons
and obvious physical reasons," Ford said at a news conference.
"I feel fit to continue and bring the
same physical action."
Indiana Jones 4 has been in development for over a decade,
but the production has recently gained momentum. Lucas has said
he and Spielberg, who would direct, are working on a script, though
no details have been disclosed.
In the last film, Jones' father was played by Sean Connery, who
Ford said might also appear in the planned fourth feature.
"He's part of the emotional fabric of
these films. I think there may be an opportunity, I believe that
Sean is still willing and I'd be delighted if he joined us,"
said Ford.
Connery, who attended the Rome event last week, has said that no
offer had been made.
Ford declined to provide details about a shooting schedule or film
locations, adding that the directors were not yet finished with
the script.
"I think it's a real opportunity to make
a film as successful ... as the ones we've made before,"
he said.
