BOM is reporting that Paramount Pictures has decided to release the upcoming fourth installment of the Indiana Jones Trilogy on Memorial Day Weekend 2008.
So mark Thursday, May 22, 2008 on your calendars, because that’s the day Indy will be back on the big screen. The last two Indiana Jones films were also released on Memorial Day weekend. The Thursday launch mimics the successes of the last couple Star Wars films and The Matrix Reloaded.
The only other film which is currently scheduled for Memorial Day weekend 2008 is the live action big screen adaptation of Speed Racer. Paramount’s Iron Man (May 2) and Buena Vista’s The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (May 16) will hit the screens in the weeks leading to Indy’s release. I would be surprised if Warner Bros moved Speed Racer back, so that it wouldn’t go head to head with Indy 4.
The Indiana Jones Trilogy has earned a lifetime domestic box office total of $619 million.

For the love of god, please make it stop. Is there any way we can stop this from happening? I have zero interest in seeing a geriatric, Grecian formula’ed Harrison Ford huffing and puffing his way through action scenes (ok, ok, I realize a stunt double will do most of the heavy lifting, but Harrison’s gotta do some of it, right?).
Hmm, maybe they can do that weird X-Men 3/de-aging thing they did to Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart. On second thought, maybe that’s not such a good idea.
AND who is Indiana Jones fighting this time out? Not the Nazis again (even neo-Nazis hiding out after WWII in South America or elsewhere would be a bad idea). So, that leaves us with the atheistic Russian Commies. Yawn.

AWESOME!!! I am so excited.. Harrison Ford is one of the best actors ever and he was awesome as Indie. I always wished you would have made more Indiana Jones movies. I watch the young Indiana Jones on tv all the time and grew up watching Indiana Jones. Thanks for bringing it back. I am only 25 and Harrison Ford as far as I am concerened is the only Indiana Jones…..
