"We're working on a screenplay. I know this sounds like something that we've been saying for 15 years, but I'm hoping that we're going to see something in a couple of months. Jeff Nathanson is working on the script right now... I will say this: If it comes in and we're all happy with it, it will be more than likely the next thing we do."
Kennedy stated that earlier reports that Nathanson's draft had been "approved" by Lucas and Spielberg were indeed true, but that didn't mean what we thought it did. "It's one thing to approve something, it's another thing to say it's greenlit and we're shooting it. So we're just in that sort of phase of finessing,"
When asked if she thought Ford was too old to play Indy, Kennedy responded, "No, I don't think so. Certainly we're not writing the script as though he's 20 years old. You know, Sean Connery spent a lot of time in the Bond role and whatnot. I think it's great that we can go make another Indiana Jones movie and Indy can be a little older. I think playing with that is a good thing."
Now Playing Magazine then asked if Indy 4 would take place in the 1950s, and Kennedy stated, "Ahhhh, yeah. The late '40s." An earlier timeline? According to Kathleen, that seems to be the case. She was then asked who the new bad guys were going to be, "I'm not going to tell you the story!" she laughs. "What do you think, I'm nuts?! You'll be here next year and ask me if I'm working on the Indy movie. 'No, I got fired!'"
