Lors d’une conférence sur sa nouvelle série d’animation Star Wars : The Clone Wars, George Lucas est revenu sur sa déclaration. « Indiana Jones est Indiana Jones. Harrison Ford EST Indiana Jones. Si le héros était Mutt Williams, le film s’appellerait Mutt Williams et la Quête d’Elvis, ou quelque chose dans le genre ».
George Lucas s’est-il fait tirer les oreilles par Steven Spielberg et Harrison Ford ? Leur a-t-il fait des concessions dans le but de produire un cinquième volet ?
Le plus intéressant est le fait que George Lucas confirme que le développement d’un cinquième opus n’est pas improbable. « Nous sommes en train de réfléchir à quel genre de quête Indy pourrait participer. Il est difficile de trouver un objet assez important pour motiver une quête. C’est comme un travail archéologique. Cela demande un long travail de recherche… »
Devrons-nous attendre 19 ans pour assister à la cinquième aventure cinématographique d’un Indy âgé de… 84 ans ? Aurons-nous le droit à un simple duo Indiana Jones – Mutt Williams ? En attendant, la recherche d’Elvis par le fils est une idée… amusante !

EXCLUSIVE: ‘Indiana Jones 5’ Won’t Center on Shia LaBeouf, Insists George Lucas
Shia LaBeoufThis past May, two weeks before “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” opened worldwide, George Lucas told reporters at the Cannes Film Festival that he already had an idea for a possible “Indiana Jones V,” and that it centered, not on Dr. Henry Jones, but on his son, Mutt Williams (Shia LaBeouf).
Three knife-flipping, tree-swinging, accident having months later and that idea? It’s kind of, well, “Nuked the Fridge,” Lucas told MTV News.
Asked whether he still considered Mutt Williams a strong enough character to drive an “Indiana Jones” film, Lucas was adamant that Indy just isn’t Indy without Indy. Or, to put it another way: No.
“Indiana Jones is Indiana Jones. Harrison Ford IS Indiana Jones,” Lucas said, dismissively adding about a character he helped create that, “If it was Mutt Williams it would be ‘Mutt Williams and the Search for Elvis’ or something.”
It’s unclear what changed Lucas’s mind about the character, or whether he would necessarily return at all – even in a sidekick capacity. That said, “The Search for Elvis” is hilarious.
Of course, talk of an eventual “Indiana Jones V” is something of a giant hypothetical anyway, even as Lucas continued to stroke the fire of anticipation at his Big Rock Ranch near San Francisco, insisting that work IS being done to find a suitable object for another installment.
“We ARE looking for something for him to go after,” Lucas said. “They are very hard to find. It’s like archeology. It takes a huge amount of research to come up with something that will fit.”
So let’s give Lucas some ideas. The Fountain of Youth? The Rod of Moses? The Quest for Atlantis? What would you like to see Indy search for in a Part V? And would you want Mutt Williams to be a part of that journey? Sound off below.
