Indiana Jones vs. Speed Racer for 2008

Posted by support@reallyscary.com (ReallyScary.com) on February 8, 2007 It's not horror news but in definitely interesting movie news, Paramount Pictures will release Steven Spielberg's Indiana Jones 4 on May 22, 2008.

The Harrison Ford starrer -- which resurrects the franchise after a nearly 20-year hiatus -- will go up against Warner Bros. tentpole Speed Racer, which bows a day after Indy 4.

David Koepp (Spider-Man) penned the script for the fourth installment, which reteams George Lucas, Spielberg and Ford. LucasFilms is producing Indy 4 for Par. Pic is set to begin lensing by June. Storyline is being kept under tight wraps.

In their first directing effort since The Matrix trilogy, Larry and Andy Wachowski will helm Speed Racer, based on the Japanese cartoon series of the same name by anime pioneer Tatsuo Yoshida.
