"Australian news source Herald Sun caught producer Frank Marshall saying that Indiana Jones's much awaited next round of whip-cracking adventures may be shot in Australia.

""It is still on the frontburner,"" said Marshall in Sydney today, promoting his new film Eight Below which opens nationally on April 20. ""We really have to get the story right. The story has to be really good for any of us to do it and there are three pretty strong-willed creative minds involved in saying yes.""

Sean Connery played Jones' father in the original films and is rumored to be in the fourth installment, although Marshall couldn't confirm this. ""Harrison is going to play the character and it is going to be 10 or 12 years later,"" said Marshall. ""It will be a story that makes sense and is believable.""

Marshall said the film would likely go into production early next year and could be shot in Australia, Europe or the United States. ""My job as producer is to get the movie made so if I can do it better and cheaper here in Australia, then I am going to do it,""

""Australia is a definite possibility for Indiana Jones and a couple of other things I am working on at the moment."" said Marshall.

Frank Marshall is most likely talking about filming ""in studio"" in Australia. This doesn't automatically mean the Indiana Jones IV story will take our hero on an adventure down under! Remember that Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith was also filmed in studios in Australia.
