In what I would consider good news, legendary producer Frank Marshall has cast some doubt over an INDIANA JONES V. Speaking to Collider, Marshall said:
I say, for me, [KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL is] the last hurrah. I know that yes, we talk about it, but there’s no idea, there’s no MacGuffin.
INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL was, surprisingly, met with mostly positive reviews. But fans of the series generally consider it to be the least impressive. Since the release of that film the man responsible for the stories, George Lucas, has announced he is to step away from blockbusters and focus on experimental films. Lucas has announced he is leaving his own studio Lucasfilm, and is leaving Marshall’s wife, Kathleen Kennedy, in charge.
I think the more George Lucas products we are spared from the better at this point in time. I felt no passion or excitement in KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL, and with Steven Spielberg focussing on THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN sequels, I say that’s enough adventure for now.
