even more Indy casting!

The lovely and extremely talented Cate Blanchett has just signed on to join the cast of Indiana Jones 4! Now I know I said I wasn't going to get overly excited about this film, but with the recent casting of Shia LaBeouf as Indy's son, it looks like this film might really for real be getting made now! Holy cow!

Ok, so really there isn't too much to say about this news other than we all know and love Cate. She has a classic look that is elegant and I think will works well in any period setting. Just look at how great she was in The Aviator. Anyhow, we don't know who she is playing or what she is doing in the new Indiana Jones film. Really we don't even know what the basic plotline is. All we know is that it's coming from the uber-talented David Koepp, of Spider-Man, Jurassic, Park, Mission Impossible, etc etc etc fame. and that exec producer George Lucas has said it will be a "character piece" with "very interesting mysteries" and "the best one yet". Thanks George... thanks for nothing.

ahh... ok sorry sorry. I think I'm starting to let myself get too excited. IF this film gets made I will be very happy, for now, let's just watch and wait...
