What's the story?
Indiana Jones is back.
Gah. Not another reboot.
Rest easy. When US film producer Kathleen Kennedy was interviewed on the Baftas 2020 red carpet last week, she revealed that Harrison Ford is primed to dust off his fedora and reprise the eponymous character.
She said: "We're working away getting the script where we want it to be and then we'll be ready to go. Harrison Ford will be involved. It's not a reboot; it's a continuation."

Asked whether Ford, was up for it, Kennedy replied: "He can't wait, he absolutely is."

Lethal Weapon 5 is reportedly in the works with Mel Gibson and Danny Glover tipped to return as LAPD detectives Riggs and Murtaugh in a new instalment of the buddy cop action-comedy movies.

Then there's Coming 2 America – a sequel to the original Coming To America – starring Eddie Murphy, scheduled to hit cinemas later this year. Meanwhile, Netflix is making Beverly Hills Cop IV, also starring Murphy.
Hurrah! It's like the 1980s all over again.
Except we can now watch on tiny phone screens.
It's not quite Betamax, is it?
Not even close.
Any word of a Police Academy 8?
Every day I live in hope.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
