What do you get when two of the best paid directors jointly create a movie? ‘Tintin 3′ apparently, because Steven Spielberg said it’s likely he’ll direct the third ‘Tintin’ movie together with Peter Jackson. “We are going to make three Tintin movies back-to-back. I’ll direct the first one, Peter will direct the second one. We’ll probably co-direct the third one,” Spielberg said at Cannes.

A promising statement to say the least. It sounds like this is going to be one of the major franchises the coming years. Andy Serkis has already signed for the movies, which will start shooting in September.

‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’ isn’t even out yet, but George Lucas is already hinting at a possible fifth movie in the series. “I haven’t even told Steven or Harrison this, but I have an idea to make Shia [LeBeouf] the lead character next time and have Harrison [Ford] come back like Sean Connery did in the last movie. I can see it working out,” Lucas said.

“And it’s not like Harrison is even old. I mean, he’s 65 and he did everything in this movie. The old chemistry is there, and it’s not like he’s an old man. He’s incredibly agile; he looks even better than he did 20 years ago, if you ask me.” That’s stretching it George. But with the new ‘Indiana Jones’ movie’s tracking numbers indicating a record breaking opening, another movie is a given.

Harrison Ford won’t be reading the ‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’ reviews, saying “I suppose it would be interesting, but I don’t read reviews.” And after over 40 years in the biz, he probably knows what’s best. “I don’t want to believe the bad stuff and I don’t want to believe the good stuff. It doesn’t really matter,” he said.

We know Steven Spielberg cares very much about the reaction of the public, considering how upset he was about the internet spoilers. “Steven was wanting to throw up before he went into the press conference he was so nervous about the response and I think it’s because he cares,” Cate Blanchett said.

For Harrison Ford only the box office numbers count. “It’s the people who pay to get in, and whether they are getting satisfaction for their dollars spent,” he said. And the rumored $185 million ‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’ industry tracking numbers indicate a great first weekend, maybe even setting some new records.
