After the last Indy movie, is this really good news?

According to Cinematical.com, Frank Darabont has spilled the beans that he, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and the rest of the gang are indeed planning a fifth Indiana Jones movie…

“It’s really about the script,” said Marshall. “Once we see that, we’ll see. We’re not going to wait another 20 years. We’d all love to make another one. I’m anxious to hear the idea!” But he quickly added that he really didn’t know what Spielberg was cooking. “Until there’s a script, nothing’s definite. I haven’t heard the idea.” (He should ask LaBeouf. I bet he knows.) Marshall also confirmed that Lucas, Spielberg, and Ford were equally eager to return for a fifth outing. “Yeah. We had a great time making the last one and, as Harrison said, we need to make this one soon. We’re not getting any younger.”

Well, INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL was a disappointment to virtually ever critic and moviegoer who saw it (this guy included), but it’s hard to argue with a 700-million-plus global box office.

Speaking of Darabont, you know what’s a good movie? THE MIST, which he directed. Much better than CRYSTAL SKULL, in fact.
