October, 3rd 2008 - Ignition sequence starts:
Harrison Ford in an interview about Indiana Jones V: "It's crazy but great. George is in think mode right now. It's automatic,
really, we did well with the last one and with that having done well and been a positive experience,
it's not surprising that some people want to do it again." Ford said, though, he would not be game to making an animated "Indiana Jones" film: "I'm not philosophically against doing animation roles but not for Indiana Jones"
Target A: Spring 2009 - Getting the plot
A001: June, 16th 2009; Shia LaBeouf (Mutt Williams, Indiana Jones' Son):

A004: July, 13th 2009: Steven Spielberg talks to a russian boulevard-magazin:
Spielberg says that Indiana Jones 5 is possible, but till now, there is no script. And he also told,
that Harrison Ford would be fit enough to do a fifth adventure. http://www.mk.ru

A005: End of July 2009; Indiana Jones 5 is pronounced at IMDB.com

"The story for the new Indiana Jones is in the process of taking form. Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and myself

If the script is good, I'll be very happy to put the costume on again."
(Between the lines: YEEHAW!)
Target C: Autumn 2009 - Start of screenwriting
