Information from many sources indicate that Harrison Ford is eager to reprise the role of Indiana Jones in a fourth installment of the popular film franchise. During Ford's promotion of his upcoming supernatural thriller, Ford said "I'm looking forward to the opportunity to make another film."

For the moment, the Indy team is still waiting for a good story before they will embark on production. Ford added, "There are some efforts underway to come up with a story. When we all three, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg and I, all ... have a film that we all have confidence in, we'll do it."

Ford also confirmed that he has met and talked with The Sixth Sense director M. Night Shyamalan, who is reportedly one of several writers drafting a screenplay for Indy IV. Asked whether Shyamalan was the primary writer, Ford replied, "Can't really tell you that at the moment." As for whether the next film will feature Sean Connery, who played Indiana's father, Prof. Henry Jones, in 1989's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Ford said, "Actually, I don't know. I hope so."
