If you replace "Quest" with "Search" I'd like it a lot more. For some reason "Quest" just sticks out.

My guess is it's going to be Quest for the Covenant. I look at that title and I just see the mind of Lucas there. And I do like it.

It doesn't fit the central story as far as we know it, so I'm 99% sure that's not the right title.

I don't know about that. Covenant -- father, son, and the Holy Marion? :cooltongue:

There's a new video on the official site.

It's a bit of a fluff piece, really. But worth a look:

The new video is cool, is nice to see they're really aproaching this as a very special moment, for them, and for the fans.

I would choose City of Gods.

The other titles seem not very good IMHO.

Well according to www.cinecon.com, a possible title for Indiana Jones 4 is...

Indiana Jones and The City of Gods..

There are six possible titles that have been registered with the MPAA

Of those six titles, I'd say that "City of Gods" is probably the best and therefore most likely. Seems like all shall be revealed soon though.

I don't particularly like any of those titles. They sound a bit of a rehash of the previous movies, especially that one about "covenant". Wasn't Raiders of the Lost Ark about the Ark of the Covenant? How often can you revisit the well, if that is indeed the same well he is visiting?

Bah! At least it's got a bit of romance about it. :angry: The others are all so dreary and unengaging. That list has too many Last Crusades and not enough Temple of Dooms. There's just no sparkle about them. Though I guess five of them are red-herrings. No point having a good fake title; people might actually want it.

Why are you so sure it's not "...Lost City of Gold" ? A poster on another board I visit has heard rumors that that is indeed the title of the film.

It's B.S. Not only is the Lost City of Gold the focus of NATIONAL TREASURE 2, it's also the focus of ALLAN QUARTERMAIN AND THE LOST CITY OF GOLD. Are they really going to do a rip-off like that (especially since Indy is a character inspired by Quartermain)? Doubt it.

Furthermore, it has nothing to do with the story as we know it.

With the return of Indiana Jones and the Mummy franchises, do you think we shall see other adventurer's return?

The aforementioned Allan Quatermain - H Rider Haggard's incredible creation - portrayed by, say, Dennis Quaid or Kevin Costner or [insert slightly faded swarthy adventurer type in here]

And my favourite also-ran, Romancing The Stone and The Jewel Of The Nile (I really like the story of this sequel and the set-up - real series character development if rather ineptly handled). Anyway, how about:

Vince Vaughn as Jack Colton
Jennifer Anniston as Joan Wilder
in
The Sapphire Of The Seas

A Pirates-of-the-Caribbean-ish tale of daring-do.

I've always thought Timothy Dalton (yeah, I know) would have been really good as Allan Quatermain. Maybe if the BBC did a faithful adaptation of the books, or something?

To date, Cedric Hardwicke's really the only one who's played the role properly.

Yes it did. It was shot back-to-back with KING SOLOMON'S MINES (1985) and died a fast death at the box office.

Kind of cool. Not sure how I feel about it. My first instinct is that it is a bit disappointing, but you never know.

Sounds like someone trying too hard to come up with an Indiana Jones title.

I'm sure I'll get used to it.
