cate snags Indiana Jones role
March 19th 2007 11:35
Blonde bombshell and proud Aussie Cate Blanchett (Notes on a Scandal) has signed on to star in the fourth and possibly final installment of the Indiana Jones story, set for release on May 22, 2008.
While the idea has been in the works for some time now, the new Indiana Jones film has been delayed several times due to script problems and issues with the series' star Harrison Ford (Firewall), who plays a professor with a secret identity and the title character, Indiana Jones.
Beginning in 1981 with 'Raiders of the Lost Ark', the hit movie was followed by 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom' in 1984 and the most popular film of the trilogy 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' in 1989.
Dream team Steven Spielberg (Jurassic Park, Schindler's List) and George Lucas (Star Wars) have signed on again as director and producer and after several problems, Harrison Ford has agreed to come back for his role. It is unknown whether Sean Connery (most famous for his role in the early James Bond films), who played Indiana's father in 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade', will return to his role in the film. Also rumoured to be returning to their roles in the film are Karen Allen (The Perfect Storm), Indiana's girlfriend in the first film, and John Rhys Davies (Lord of the Rings) as Indiana's friend.
While Cate's role in the film is not yet known, with her classic good looks, Cate will fit in well to the 1930s (or more likely 1950s) set and may play a similar role to that of Alison Doody, as sexy German Else who seduces Indiana in 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade'.
One thing that has yet to be proved if Harrison can still put off all the stunts he did 18 years ago when the last film was filmed - after all Indiana and Harrison are getting on in years. There will certainly be no worries about a fan base for the movie with excitement already building in the movie world, and the world awaiting eagerly for the new Indiana Jones film to hit our screens...
