Shrewed move from the legend. As much as another Indy Film would be good he is right about getting a quality script. You only need to look at the star wars prequels to realise that George Lucas can make an arse of things.

>>The actor says he will read the script for the fourth Indiana Jones movie...

Yeah, yeah. He can read then? You will recall that he was unable to comprehend the story of Lord of the Rings and turned down a part in that. Good story, but hardly an intellectual challenge.

The jury's out, but there's a growing feeling that all this revisiting of nazi horrors and gigantic boulders that appear to move themselves belongs back where it was first produced, about a lifetime ago.

Kevin [1] is right to have concerns, but for all the wrong reasons.

Of course, we've always known the Sean Connery is one of the last of the Hollywood greats. Right up there with Heston, Tracy, Niven, Bogart, Cagney and the rest. Probably Michael Caine as well.

So who are the rest of the 7 greats Spielberg mentions?

Hanks? Cruise? (don't make me laugh), Roberts? Streep? Dench? Spacey? Depp?

Anybody got any ideas?? Tell us Mr Spielberg!

I doubt the movie actually needs him. If any good it will sell itself. I've nothing against Sean, but he's 76, retire gracefully my man!
Producer can probably save himself 10-20million with an equally good performance from another.

Lost shows that you don't need stars to make a great show.

Aye,number 6,ye can tak the boy oot o' Scotland,but ye cannae tak Scotland oot the boy!!
Sir Sean should finish his career with an eloquent and dignified Scottish/British/European production rather than pandering to that wrinkled old whore,Hollywood. Go out on a high note,not this bollocks.

folks are so ready to write Sean off. Why? Because of his age? Seniors are part of real life and so if the plot needs a senior, then Sean is as good as any for the role and better than most

Go for it Seany boy

Why shouldn't Sean Connery have Indy 4 as his final film? It was one of his best loved performances, and rightly so. I just hope he likes the script and decides to do it. Surely Lucas will have learned something from the disaster that was The Phantom Menace (and Clones to a slightly lesser extent), and won't do this just to please himself.

"The jury's out, but there's a growing feeling that all this revisiting of nazi horrors and gigantic boulders that appear to move themselves belongs back where it was first produced, about a lifetime ago."...to this I say bring back the good old fashioned excitement and story telling of Indiana Jones, something which we don't see much of these days.

So big Tam is returning to the silver screen, perhaps he is down to his last couple of million. After the fiasco that was The League Of Extrodinary gentlemen I would have thought he would be keeping his head down. Still, how else is he gonna keep his finger on the SNP from Bermuda, must be an expensive business.

How manyblockbuster movies have come out of the Scottish/British/European movie machine? The wrinkled Hollywood "whore" still knows how to crank them out and give the world some exciting entertainment. Sean Connery should go where he can get the most viewership for his efforts. Oh by the way, even at 76 he is still eye candy. He certainly has my vote for actor extraordinaire.

#12--Barbara--#7 is correct, in that the British films are "eloquent & dignified", as were the "hollywood movies" of old. hollywood writers today have no imagination & resort to re-makes. their movies are filthy language & bloody gun battles from start to finish. you don't get that w/the British films, & thats why we buy them from BBCAmerica/shop. haven't been to a movie theater since 1983, & we certainly don't watch the crap on tv either. Sir Sean can do any film he wants & i'll watch it...................

Sean Connery was one of the greatest things to come out of Scotland in the second half of the 20th century.

The man is an icon, and we're lucky to have him.

I for one would love to see him as Dr Jones snr again.

He is a great guy, but will you bloody retire. OK it is bad enough that all the sweet young things are attracted to my Edinburgh accent, but they expect me to perform in the Sean Connery manner. It does not help if you are older than me. Just build a flower garden somewhere. Cheez did you ever think that there would be so much trouble after he gave up the milk van.

Upon reading this article I suddenly remembered my Charlemagne: "let my armies be the rocks and the trees, and the birds in the sky". Latest news: apparently Sean received the script this morning and upon a quick glance said "Lucas should have mailed it to the marx brothers".
Indy 4 will be great and Im sure it will provide a classy death scene ; a la Untouchable in which it took 43,488 bullets to kill him and even then he managed to last about 4 hours...
