I know, I know, they've made announcements about their intentions before, but this time it comes with an official press release, which has been posted on the official www.indianajones.com site managed by Lucasfilm.
According to the release, filming begins June 2007 for a 2008 release. No specifics on the release date, but one might assume Memorial Day weekend 2008. Personally, that month is already loaded with heavy hitters, so I'm hoping they move it to July 4th, or Thanksgiving.
Here's a thought. Other companies have tried to create Indiana Jones-rpgs to no great success. Perhaps Hero Games could license the Indy brand for a series of Jones-specific scenarios?
Between Pirates of the Caribbean: World's End (May 07), National Treasure 2: The Book of Secrets (Dec 07), Indy 4 (May 08?) and Hellboy 2: The Golden Army (July 08?), the next year and a half is shaping up to look pretty sweet for lovers of pulp adventure.
And on top of all that goodness, we've got Fantastic Four 2, Hulk 2, Ironman, The Dark Knight, James Bond 22, Harry Potter 5, Chronicles of Narnia 2, Jurassic Park 4, Star Trek XI by J.J. Abrams, 10000 BC, Angels & Demons [DaVinci Code sequel], Power of the Dark Crystal, Speed Racer, Beowulf, Spiderman 3, and Transformers. Not a bad two years.
