Another Indiana Jones AFTER “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”?!

Is there going to be an Indiana Jones 5?
Having recently seen “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” I must admit I’d kind of wished it has stopped about half way through. My girlfriend and I both thought “that’s like the old Indiana Jones”, then she fell asleep… Unfortunately for her (spoiler) she woke up at the point when the large UFO appeared and just looked across at me with a look of bemusement on her face… I felt totally the same, what the fuck was a UFO doing on an Indiana Jones film!?
Don’t spoil Indy you box-office-thieving-bearded-bastards!
To be honest, it was at that point I had to remind myself of the far from realistic storylines from Indy of yesteryear. I guess that you’re a lot more open-minded and less synical when you’re a kid but the giant UFO just seemed a little much.
Anyway, the whole point of this post was a quote recently by Mr.Ford. He’s reportedly said “Given the great box office opening, hopefully it won’t be that long long”. So, does that mean they have scripts in the pipeline for another Indy? Are they try to squeeze another addition to the franchise before Harrison passes on to pastures new? Or is it to put Shia Le Boeuf in a position to take on the crown as a young Indy? Who knows what they’re planning, or if they’re planning anything at all. For the time being at least I’m sure Mr.Lucas and Mr.Spielberg are watching their fat pockets fill up even more before thinking twice about adding another film to their CV’s.
Oh, one other thing. They’ve leaked the ‘original’ script by Frank Darabont, check it out here.
