INDIANA JONES 5: Lucasfilm Confirms New Film is a Reality

A New Indiana Jones Film Will be Made. Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, while speaking about the properties that Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures acquired when they purchased Lucasfilm, briefly spoke about the Indiana Jones film franchise when the subject was broached. During this segment of the interview, Ms. Kennedy confirmed that a new film had been discussed.

The section of the interview pertaining to Indiana Jones 5:

In buying the company, Disney also got rights, for better or worse, to less-storied Lucasfilm properties, among them Willow and Radioland Murders. A bigger prize is the Indiana Jones franchise. Kennedy confirmed rumors that another Indy movie “will one day be made inside this company. When it will happen, I’m not quite sure. We haven’t started working on a script yet, but we are talking about it.”
