The fourth instalment in the Indiana Jones saga will be the best film in the series so far, producer George Lucas has said.
Steven Spielberg is set to direct the as yet untitled film, with principal filming to take place in Los Angeles in 2007.
By that time it will have been 17 years since Harrison Ford last cut a dash as the eponymous Nazi-hating archaeologist/adventurer/womaniser, but Star Wars supremo Lucas says the fourth film will be "really cool".
"It's going to be fantastic. It's going to be the best one yet," he said.
The Indiana Jones trilogy was a huge commercial and critical success in the 1980s, with Ford cementing his position as a Hollywood legend in Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
Earlier this year the 64-year-old hit back at claims that he was too old to star in the upcoming film, insisting that he was "fit to continue" and relished the chance at being given one last crack of the whip.
Despite this insistence however, Indiana Jones and the Ravages of Time was still put forward as a potential title for the film by cheeky fans.
A host of familiar faces are rumoured to be connected with the project, including John Rhys-Davies, Karen Allen and Sir Sean Connery, who played the archaeologist's father in the Last Crusade.
