Indiana Jones 4 stunts more spectacular

The next Indiana Jones adventure will feature more spectacular stunts than the previous three, thanks to the arrival of computer generated images, according to director Steven Spielberg.

The script is currently being written for the film, which will again star Harrison Ford and be produced by George Lucas, and filming is due to begin next June, Spielberg tells Premiere magazine.

“I love the fact that the previous films were all shot the old-fashioned way,” he said. “Digital hadn’t been invented so all the stunts were just like the kind you used to see in the silents and the early talkies. They were made in the tradition of old Hollywood.

“But I think the fourth film is gong to include some digital stunts because I don’t want to put anybody in jeopardy.

“Also, some of the things that are truly spectacular to watch will be done digitally, in order to keep up with the Joneses, so to speak.”
