Better off silent
This has been going on for years.
There's a script being written by Frank Darabont (writer/director of Shawshank and Green Mile).
In fact, this may be Spielberg and Ford's next project as soon as Lucas is done with Star Wars.

In fact, this may be Spielberg and Ford's next project as soon as Lucas is done with Star Wars.
Harrison Ford told the SciFi Wire (http://www.scifi.com) that Frank Darabont has finished the script for "Indiana Jones 4" and goes on to say that pre-production is expected to move along shortly. "Steven [Spielberg]'s quite happy with it," Ford said in an interview. "I'm expecting to see it in a couple of weeks."
Ford added that he worked closely with director Spielberg, Darabont and executive producer George Lucas on the story. "The way the process works is that George and Frank work together, then Steven gets the script, then I get the script, and we all work together. We all met together and talked about it before they started writing."
Ford said that he remains eager to reprise his most famous role because of fans' demands for a fourth installment in the franchise. "It pleases me to play a character that audiences want to see," he said. "I know that it's eagerly anticipated, and I want us to do a good job, make a film at least as good as the ones we've made before."

Jeff Nathanson Rewriting Indiana Jones 4
Source: Variety
October 27, 2004
George Lucas and Steven Spielberg have hired Jeff Nathanson to rewrite Indiana Jones 4, reports Variety. Aside from writing the Rush Hour films, Nathanson also wrote Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can and co-wrote The Terminal.
If Nathanson delivers a draft that clicks with Lucas, Spielberg and star Harrison Ford, Spielberg would still have to make the movie a priority to get it into production any time soon, adds the trade.
After doing The War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise, Spielberg was next planning to film a drama about the aftermath of the 1972 Munich Olympics terrorist tragedy.
Lucas is currently working on completing Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith while Ford is preparing to star in The Wrong Element. After that, Ford is scheduled to shoot Godspeed, a drama about a crisis on an international space station.
Nathanson made his feature directorial debut on last month's The Last Shot, which he also wrote.

What is he going to do in this film? Find the secret stash of metameusal in the nursing home? For crying out loud Fords like 70 years old!
Maybe they'll have Indy find out he has a son...then Indy, his dad and his newfound son go on an amazing adventure and in the end it's clear that the torch has been passed to the next generation of the Jones' family.

He goes to Vietnam as a master soldier, later becoming a police officer. Unfortunately his wife is killed, and he endures various stages of suicidal tendencies. It's not until he partners with an older family-oriented cop that he realizes he can live life again and make a difference.
Wait a minute....

December 4, 2004
The Indy Experience caught up with Harrison Ford and asked what the latest was on Indiana Jones 4. Frank Darabont had written a draft, but that did not receive the green light. Instead, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg hired Jeff Nathanson to do a rewrite and things are looking good.
Asked whether or not "Indy 4" will still be made, Ford answered, "No doubt about it." And while he says this next film is his, he wouldn't mind a younger actor playing Indy in possible future films.
The site added that George Lucas, who rejected Darabont's script, is happy with the new draft from Nathanson.

Lucas says that Steven Spielberg informed him that the script was done and he talked about the evolution of the script.

Lucas Talks More About Indiana Jones 4

In a Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith interview with Time magazine, George Lucas also talks briefly about Indiana Jones 4.
"You know, I said three's fine. And then I came up with an idea I thought was brilliant, so I told the other guys [Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford], and they kind of flipped out," Lucas said.
Speaking about the story, Lucas adds that is it "vaguely in the realm of the supernatural. We have to accept the fact that Indiana Jones is an older man. But it's been hell getting a script out of it."
Lucas says that Steven Spielberg "is committed to shooting it next year. I just got the latest script yesterday."

Lucas Approves Indiana Jones 4 Script
Source: Variety
May 29, 2005
Variety reports that screenwriter Jeff Nathanson's draft for Indiana Jones 4 has apparently met with the approval of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. But before Paramount can move forward, Harrison Ford still has to sign off on the script, and he hasn't yet read it.
The trade adds that with "Star Wars" off his plate, Lucas recently summoned Nathanson to his Bay Area headquarters, where they went over the draft. The screenwriter also got notes from Spielberg, who brought him into the mix after working with him on Catch Me if You Can and Terminal.
Scheduling Indiana Jones 4 for a 2006 start will be tricky for Spielberg, who next heads to Europe to shoot his untitled drama about the aftermath of the 1972 Munich Olympics for Universal and DreamWorks, and is expected to follow in January with a DreamWorks film about Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War, to star Liam Neeson.

Steven Spielberg to Take a Year Off
Source: Fox411
March 6, 2006
Fox News columnist Roger Friedman talked to Steven Spielberg at the Academy Governor's Ball last night and says that the director revealed he is taking a year off after having produced and directed both War of the Worlds and Munich.
Spielberg said that he does not have a project on the front burner right now. His main work in 2006 will be preparing his Abraham Lincoln film with award-winning author Doris Kearns Goodwin, and acting as a producer, not director, on several other smaller projects.
He was also asked about the highly-anticipated Indiana Jones 4. Spielberg said he will still direct the film, which, given the fact he is taking some time off, might be a while.
Jeff Nathanson wrote the latest draft of the "Indy 4" script, but he has been succeeded by David Koepp.
"I have David Koepp on it now, and he's my 'closer,'" Spielberg said, using a baseball reference to the pitcher who comes in during the 9th inning and finishes up a winning ball game.
"He wrote 'Spider-Man' and 'War of the Worlds,'" Spielberg added, "so he'll get it done."

Connery Could Be Back for INDIANA JONES
Thursday April 6 2:04 PM ET
With no official word or deals signed, Harrison Ford has hinted that he would like Sean Connery to reprise his Indiana Jones role for the impending fourth installment.
By Sawsan Antoun, FilmStew.com
The fourth installment of Indiana Jones may be moving up the development ladder faster than expected. After months of conflicting reports about the status of the action-adventure franchise, anxious fans can relax a bit now that several players, especially actor Harrison Ford, have expressed their commitment to the project.
As FilmStew reported last month, Ford told German magazine Fit for Fun, "Steven Spielberg and I now have a script in hand that we both like. I believe that we can start with the filming soon."
In a new tidbit about the project, Ford, in a recent interview with BBC1, happily hinted that Sir Sean Connery could be reprising his role as Indy's father, a role the Oscar-winning Connery originated in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Connery, who is currently linked to a cameo in the latest James Bond film, Casino Royale, is currently at his Bahamas home recovering from surgery to remove a benign tumor.
Spielberg is attached to direct the fourth installment, with George Lucas and Frank Marshall producing. Despite reports that the director is taking a year hiatus, Ford's publicist, Marvin Levy, believes that Spielberg "would be starting something before 2007," according to E! Online, and that Indiana Jones would be the perfect follow-up to the heavy drama Munich.
While in Sydney promoting his new film Eight Below, producer Marshall opened up about Indiana 4. "It is still on the front burner," Marshall told reporters. "We really have to get the story right. The story has to be really good for any of us to do it, and there are three pretty strong-willed creative minds involved in saying yes."
