M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense) is a potential writer for the long-awaited fourth installment of the Indiana Jones series, according to Variety. Currently, Shyamalan is talking with George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford about scripting the film, which Spielberg would begin directing in 2002.
Although Lucas, Spielberg and Ford have all agreed to do a fourth Indy installment in 1993, the three have been otherwise occupied while various scripts have been written. Nothing has been done so far, but now, the spark of interest has once again ignited.
A few unnamed sources said that indications are strong that Shyamalan will start writing the script in January, after he completes his supernatural thriller Unbreakable. Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson will be starring in that film.
