‘Those Pesky Nazis’

Indiana Jones scriptwriter Frank Darabont is scratching around for new villains for the fourth outing in the film series. With the action moved forward two decades to the fifties, the Nazis are no longer available to fill the baddies' shoes, so Darabont is currently working with all-new doers of evil. 'Those pesky Nazis seem to have departed, which is a shame, because I like those pesky Nazis, because you can just squash them all over the place,' Darabont told Scifiwire.com in an interview this week. Asked whether there would be any major departures in tone from Indy's previous adventures, he responded, 'From the standpoint of the fun of it and the adventure of it, no.' Although the movie is still very much in the early stages, it seems Spielberg is pretty happy with the script's progress. 'The reaction has been quite good,' says Darabont.
