George Lucas said Friday that filming of the long-awaited "Indiana Jones" movie will begin next year. Harrison Ford, who appeared in the three earlier flicks, the last one coming in 1989, is set to star again. Lucas said he and Steven Spielberg recently finalized the script for the film. "It’s going to be fantastic. It’s going to be the best one yet," the 62-year-old filmmaker said during a break from preparing for his duties as grand marshal of Monday’s Rose Parade. Exact film locations have not been decided yet, but Lucas said part of the movie will be shot in Los Angeles. The fourth chapter of the "Indiana Jones" saga, which will hit theaters in May 2008, has been in development for over a decade with several screenwriters taking a crack at the script, but it only recently gained momentum. Lucas kept mum about the plot, but said that the latest action flick will be a "character piece" that will include "very interesting mysteries." "I think it’s going to be really cool," Lucas said.

After seeing the latest Star Wars movies and Spielberg releases, I am kind of worried that this "character piece" is going to be a slow moving, sugary sweet cheesy movie. Hopefully I will be wrong and Indiana Jones will be as fun as the first 3!
