Portman cast in Indiana Jones 4

NataliePortman.jpgAccording to reports it looks like Natalie Portman is set to star in Indiana Jones 4 as Indy's daughter. Please god don't let us see a spin off series with a female Indy!

The news comes from Cinematical they talk about attending a screening of Raiders of the Lost Ark and Karen Allen held a Q&A session afterwards.

Allen begins to talk about Indy 4 in a very "I have no idea what's going on" kind of way, however, you could tell she knew more then she was letting on.

She did say there were whispers the script was calling for both Allen's character and Kate Capshaw's character from Temple of Doom to reunite with Indiana Jones in the fourth installment. Though nothing was certain, the way she said it made the rumor seem to be much more than just a rumor. And then she dropped the bomb folks. As she delves into this next bit of info, for a brief moment, she hesitates before saying (and I'm paraphrasing here), "Oh, and I just heard Natalie Portman was cast as Indy's daughter."

Wow. So there you have it, not only are the previous female leads coming back, but we're set to see Portman as Indy's daughter. Really? It's a pretty strong rumour so far, perhaps we could see it come through. Do you think this would be a good choice, or is it just diluting what Indy is even more?

Uhhhhhh this smells awful. I have nothing against Portman at all but how would she get in the picture, a budding young archaeologist and then got into trouble in one of her digs and Papa Indy to the rescue?

LOL

If that was the case... so much waiting for the writing? This should never be done.

I might be feeling indifferent now but surely if that was the case, they might still be able to make it work! But then again... Oh I dont know!!!

Who is her mother then?

Marion?
Willie Scott?

To be honest, I'll be surprised if this movie even gets made... ever.

Richard, didn't either you or John post this on that "other" film site earlier last year?

i've been gabbing about this tidbit for a year!!!! YES!

Yeah the rumour has been going around for what seems like an age, but now it's been confirmed by someone who is at least very close to the series, and may even be in this latest one.

Oh goodness - please say they're not going to go this predictable route. -sigh- I feel disappointed unless they pull this off in a way we don't expect. If you think about it, it's perfectly plausible that Indy's fathered a kid, but I'm not sure they need to center a movie around it - if they are.

On another note - I don't think this movie will ever get made and it's a horrible tease that they keep talking about it!!! =/
