Jurassic Park IV casting update

And the update is... there is none, nor has there ever been. Jurassic IV has been "in the works" for years now, and while there have been rumors of Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neill and Laura Dern signing on, those rumors are apparently not true according to SpielbergFilms.com.

The fan site reported this:

Steven Spielberg's personal reps at Amblin Entertainment (co-producers of the Jurassic Park franchise) have told SpielbergFilms.com that casting has not commenced on the film, as the story and screenplay are still in development. While there's been talk over the years with series stars Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum and most recently, Laura Dern, the property is still not ready to move forward toward production and no casting is taking place.

Personally, I'd like them to crush this project once and for all. The Lost World wasn't great but entertaining, but Jurassic Park III was just an embarrassment a hundred times over. Why they would continue to ruin a good product by milking this cash cow is a real shame.

The Top 7 Indiana Jones titles, ranked by goodness

Indiana Jones 4 hits theaters next summer, and Lucasarts just registered several titles with the Motion Pictures Association of America Title Registration Report (according to Slashfilm.com). And so now, without further ado, I'm going to rank these titles in order of what would make the best, most impactful... title. Number one is a bit of a surprise, but I think it's the best choice.

7. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
This one sounds like the title for a Uwe Boll movie. What the hell are they thinking?

6. Indiana Jones and the Quest for the Covenant
Indiana Jones has always dealt with items of a religious nature, but this one sounds more like a title for the Christian alternative hero, Indiana Jesus.

5. Indiana Jones and the Fourth Corner of the Earth
Since when does the Earth have corners?

4. Indiana Jones and the Destroyer of Worlds
This one is sort of cool, but sounds more like something for a Fantastic Four sequel (granted, that would have been a cool title for the movie that came out this summer) than an action-adventure-comedy.

3. Indiana Jones and the Lost City of Gold
The "Lost City of Gold" is always a good fallback, but it seems so cliché. Hasn't "Lost City of Gold" been used in other movies before? And for some reason, The Phantom comes to mind.

2. Indiana Jones and the City of Gods
This has been the title that has been referenced quite a bit in recent months, so the assumption is about as safe as it could be that this will end up being the title of the new Indiana Jones movie. That being said, it's a pretty cool title with a lot of mystique. Still, it doesn't hold up to our pick for the new Indiana Jones movie...

1. Indiana Jones and the Advent of Viagra
How can you top this one?
