And now some of the most important archaeological news of the day George Lucas Says Indiana's Next Crack Of The Whip Will Be Tamer

George Lucas is looking for a lot more than just fortune and glory these days.

Contrary to how Hollywood usually hypes its blockbusters, the writer/producer says Indiana Jones' next adventure actually won't be any louder, bigger or faster than his last one. In fact, if Lucas gets his way (hint: he usually does), the Jones sequel will prize dialogue over decibels.

. . .

"We're working on it, we're working on it," Lucas said. "We've been working on it for 10 years. I think it'll be a great film, but it's completely different. It's still got a lot of action, and it's still very funny. I think it works like crazy."


Suppose it's got to be a little tamer given that Harrison Ford is well into his AARP years these days. They probably have to set it later than the 1930s as well. What will he go after this time? The Sphinx's nose?
