Indiana Jones 5 is assembling a writers' room, no George Lucases allowed

In a culture often overwhelmed by some of the shittiest fanbases on the planet, it’s become pretty passé to bag on George Lucas for “ruining your childhood” or whatever. That said, we still don’t want the dude anywhere near another Star Wars movie. The same goes for the in-development Indiana Jones 5, especially after Steven Spielberg himself blamed Lucas for the failings of Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull. Thankfully, we can rest easy after hearing from Indiana Jones 5 producer Frank Marshall, who has lovingly assured us that Lucas will be nowhere near the script.

In a new interview with Coming Soon, Marshall said that, while Solo’s Jonathan Kasdan has blessedly taken over scripting duties from Crystal Skull’s David Koepp, the production has organized a writers’ room to help flesh out ideas. He doesn’t say who’s in the room, but he does make it clear that Lucas did not get an invite.
