FIREWALL ACTOR HARRISON FORD TALKS INDY 4 .... AGAIN

Yes, it's that time again -- time to ask, "what's up with that sequel with that guy wearing the fedora and carrying that whip?"

LOCATION: Development Hell

THE SKINNY: It must get pretty irritating for Harrison Ford to always be asked the same old question:

What’s going on with that damned fourth INDIANA JONES movie?

Of course, during the promotion of his new film FIREWALL, that’s exactly what we asked – particularly the stalled development of finding the right script, particularly after he and Spielberg liked a Frank Darabont penned script, even though Lucas passed on it.

"Last time we talked I said that I was anxious to make another INDIANA JONES film, but I didn't say anything specifically about Frank’s script, not because I didn't like it or did like it, but I didn't mention anything specific about the script," says Ford.

Of course, action being a major aspect of the INDIANA JONES films, does he feel that by the time the script is ready, he won’t be up for the physical action required?

"I don't know if I can relate to that or not," says Ford. "I can't tell you anything about INDIANA JONES, but I think that you've just seen a film [FIREWALL] where I performed physically to an extent that was good."

And does he feel there will be a point where he will throw in the towel and just pass on doing a fourth INDY film?

"The audience is there and are anxious for the film, I believe," admits Ford. "Everyone involved is anxious to make another INDIANA JONES film."

And while it’s been three years since Ford has appeared in a film (2003’s HOLLYWOOD HOMICIDE), he says the wait for his return to the big screen had more to do with finding a right project and for FIREWALL to finally get the right director and the right script.

"It was a long process to bring [FIREWALL] to the screen," says Ford. "It was a long process working on the script, doing work that we thought that was necessary. It was a long process because we lost a director who had to drop out because of some personal tragedy in his life. So we had to find another director and begin to discuss with him this script and what he felt he needed in order to bring this film to it's best possible shape. So it was a long process and during that period of time I was engaged in the process and I didn't really feel that I could go off and do something else."
