Roger Friedman of
Fox411 caught up with George Lucas who was attending at the "all-star Time magazine dinner for the 100 most influential people" and here are some snippets of what he said about
Star Wars and
Indiana Jones:
Lucas is currently preparing
Indiana Jones 4 with Harrison Ford, Blanchett and Shia LaBoeuf. The latter plays Ford's son, which means his mother was possibly the character Karen Allen played in
Raiders of the Lost Ark.
"I can't say," Lucas said when I brought up Allen.
Lucas says that Sean Connery still hasn't signed on, but his character, Indy's dad, is in the script. Other than that, his lips are sealed.
"Steven thinks we can keep the whole thing a secret," Lucas told me. "I explained to him that it's impossible nowadays. We can't live like that."
Lucas, by the way, says he is readying
Clone Wars, an animated series for TV that's derived from
Star Wars. Many
Star Wars characters appear in
Clone Wars, but voiced by other actors.
And here's a little news: Lucas tells me he will make two more live-action films based in the
Star Wars era.
"But they won't have members of the Skywalker family as characters," he said. "They will be other people of that milieu."
The two extra films will also be made for TV and probably be an hour long each. But, like
Clone Wars, Lucas doesn't know where on TV they will land.
arrives in theatres on May 22nd, 2008.
