'Indy 4' Screenwriter on… 'Indy 4'
Yeah, Harrison's old, let's deal with it
Daniel Robert Epstein has sent in another clip from one of his interviews and this time it was with Indiana Jones IV scripter David Koepp, the lucky man to actually get approval from not only Harrison Ford and Steve Spielberg, but even Mr. Nit-Picky George Lucas said, "Yay!"
Anyway, check out a clip from the article below and click here for the full read.
"I spent about a year on it, first doing drafts with Steven and then doing drafts with Steven and George…"
Koepp agrees that it would be crazy not to take into account star Harrison Ford's real age for this next installment. In fact, he suggests that if it were not in the script, Ford would likely insist on references to this being added.
As much as he is a fan of Indy lore, Koepp says it's essential to discard that point of view when tapping out further adventures. "You can't write a fan script," he insists. "You have to pretend that this movie exists without the other one.The worst thing to do would be to have him make reference to things he said in the first movie, like to pun on lines of dialogue."
Indian Jones IV is expected to begin filming this year for release in 2008.
