Connery has been linked to the upcoming fourth Indiana Jones movie, but insists he's not that interested in reprising his role as Henry Jones from Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade.

That hasn't stopped persistent Lucas, who says, "We're still trying." In other Indiana Jones casting news, Lucas admits he was stunned when director Steven Spielberg told him he wanted to sign Cate Blanchett as Jones' love interest in the new film.

He tells newspaper USA Today, "That's who my director wanted and I always bow to the wishes of my director. I approved it because she seemed like a good idea. When I met her at the Academy Awards, I told her, 'Hey, you work for me now!'"

Please sign up Sean, you made the third Indiana Jones fantastic, even though none of them will ever get near the original. The second was the worst by far, the woman pissed me off so much but the Asian kid was a little funny. Back to the current, I really don't know if I like this idea, they should keep the greats away and don't try to ruin it.

I was sceptical when Rocky Balboa came out, but it was awesome, action galore for a Rocky film, but I wonder if another sixty year old (Harrson Ford) can do such action anymore.
