Cant wait for either!! But he has to concerntrate of Transformers 1st!

Steven Spielberg has given fans a heads-up about the progress on the next instalments of the Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones franchises.

Website Development Hell report that Spielberg's Q&A session at the University of Southern California yielded details of one sequence of Jurassic IV. The director explained that, as with the other film in the series, he will have to "cherry-pick" his favourite scenes from the book for inclusion in the film, one being a sequence in which a group of motorcyclists must outrun a pack of Velociraptors.

Spielberg gave little away about the next Indiana Jones movie other than that George Lucas is currently at work on the screenplay and that Harrison Ford will reprise his role as the whip-wielding archaeologist.

The director also explained that talk of his developing a film emersion technology was nothing more than rumour, opining that there must be a barrier between the film and its audience.

really looking forward to Indy 4, but as for another Jurassic Park, the first was great, but the sequels were shite

if they'd have followed the storylines in the books they'd have been much better imo

and out of interest

favourite scenes from the book for inclusion in the film, one being a sequence in which a group of motorcyclists must outrun a pack of Velociraptors

has he actually read the books, or did he just get someone to give him a general idea of what happens? i don't recall a group of motorcyclists in either of the books

agreed and anyway, shouldn't the scenes included in the movie be determined by the storyline? Sounds like a hack job to me. Couldn't be less interested in a new Indiana Jones movie either. Lost Ark was great, Temple was good but Last Crusade was really quite poor in comparison. Let sleeping dogs lie.

I also see by imdb that Spielbergo is an executive producer so that really means jack shit with regards to input. That'll be all Michael Bay. Which means it'll be really, really fucking stupid.
