Hiya

Just a quick update with some potentially big news. I’m not sure if this guy is to be trusted but it sounds quite convincing. He attended a screening of Raiders of the Lost Ark and Karen Allen let this little bit of info slip during the Q&A.

“Oh, and I just heard Natalie Portman was cast as Indy’s daughter.” Now, I seem to recall way back in the day, the Portman rumors were out there — what with George Lucas having just shot three films with the girl. But is it now a done deal? Immediately after the Portman line, Allen switched topics, reverting back to an earlier question. As if she knew she shouldn’t have said anything. Of course, this is all still part of one giant rumor, but if I were a betting man, something big will be announced soon.

I’m not sure how I feel about that. I’m skeptical as to whether a 4th Indy film will be able to live up to the hype.

Thanks to Michael.
