Some good news out of Hollywood. It seems that Indiana Jones 4 has just completed it's 3rd week of filming and everything seems to be going good. He's even doing many of his own stunts, "he just has a few more ice packs and a few more massages" according to the co-executive producer. Here's the story from Yahoo!Entertainment:Ford Can Still Fit Into Indy's Trousers
HILO, Hawaii (AP) He may be 65, but Harrison Ford still fits into Indiana Jones' tight trousers.
Many fans are curious to see if, 18 years after "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," Ford can live up to the physical rigors of the globe-trotting archaeologist in the long-awaited fourth installment of the epic series. The actor's 65th birthday was Friday.
Producers of the adventure, currently being filmed on Hawaii's Big Island, say there's no need to worry. Ford is as fit as ever.
"I have to say, he looks amazing," said Kathleen Kennedy, the film's co-executive producer, along with George Lucas. "He looks fantastic in the outfit."
Actually, Ford knew the hat would still fit but wondered if he could still squeeze into the pants. He did.
The action star, who first introduced the fedora-wearing, bullwhip-cracking Indiana Jones in the 1981 classic "Raiders of the Lost Ark," is actually doing many of his own stunts in the latest film.
"He's doing them, he just has a few more ice packs and a few more massages," Kennedy said.
"And a lot of Celebrex," producer Frank Marshall added.
The movie just completed the first of three weeks of filming in Hawaii, after spending a week each in New Mexico and Connecticut. The lush areas surrounding Hilo are filling in as a South American rain forest.
Lucas and director Steven Spielberg have not released the title of the film, scheduled for release May 22, 2008.
The filming has created a buzz on this normally sleepy island, known for macadamia nuts and premium Kona coffee. It's the most action since nearby Kilauea volcano rumbled to life in 1983.
The film's biggest action sequences are being filmed in Hawaii. Marshall compared one scene to the thrilling, white-knuckled truck chase in the desert in "Raiders."
"It's that level," he said.
