WING CHUNG and THE FATE OF ATLANTIS?
No seriously . . .
There actually is an old Indiana Jones 4 related casting rumor that's been seeing the light of day again. O' and just in case you haven't guessed already it involves one of ArsonPlus Entertainment's favorite screen ladies, the lethal, ass-whuppin', machine of love and grace named Michelle Yeoh.
Recently reposted set reports (try saying that five times fast) from the Memoirs of a Geisha set, quote Geisha producer and Indy director Steven Spielberg as having talked with the legendary Hong Kong actress about her part in the long delayed Indiana Jones 4.
Here's What Was Apparently Said:
Steven Spielberg: "Don't forget we are supposed to work together on an Indiana Jones sequel."
Michelle: "I will be waiting for you!"
Ok, so not much in reality and this is not exactly a new rumor. Michelle's name has been attached to the rumors surrounding Indiana Jones 4 since Terrence Chang, (from Michelle Yeoh's agency), let it slip that Yeoh had met with Spielberg re: a possible role for her in Indy 4.
Cinescape later elicited the following comment on the subject from Michelle about the fourth film:
"We [Spielberg and Michelle] had a couple of meetings and we did talk about that [Indy 4 ]. He is one guy who has a passion for filmmaking. And I love the Indiana Jones films! Would I be interested? Of course I'm going to jump up and say, 'Yes, please!'"
I don't know how I feel about prospects for Jones 4, but the prospect of more Michelle Yeoh is always good news.
I still haven't seen Munich even though my one film geek friend keeps raving about it.
Actually I haven't seen anything of his since Saving Private Ryan. Longest commercial for the use of air power I ever saw. The airplane will save us from the horrors of close combat.
