"Momentum is building up fast for Indiana Jones 4. Now that the holy trinity of Lucas, Spielberg, and Ford have all agreed on a script, other possible cast members are starting to speak out about the project. Sean Connery, who played Indy’s father Henry in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, spoke with UK Teletext about the possibility of him returning to the role.
He mentioned that if the script were good enough, he would consider participating in the sequel. "At the moment there’s nothing decided. I haven’t got the script. Everything depends on the script," Connery said.
While this is far from being a sure thing, the prospects seem to look good that Connery may indeed play a key role in the film. At the same time, in a move that feels vaguely threatening, and at the same time makes me wonder what they will do if Connery doesn’t like the script, uber-Producer George Lucas told a TV talk show, "We are writing him in whether he wants to do it or not."
You hear that Mr. Connery? You’re being written in no matter what you say. And George Lucas is telling you to deal with it."
