Frank Darabont has been selected to write the screenplay for a fourth Indiana Jones movie, based on a story by George Lucas. Steven Spielberg will once again direct, Lucas will be the executive producer, and Harrison Ford will star in the film. Frank Marshall will again serve as producer.

"I'm excited to be able to revisit a character I created a generation ago," Lucas said. "Steven, Harrison and I have wanted to do this for some time, and this feels like the right moment."

In addition to the earlier three films, Lucas created The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, a multi-award winning television series. Darabont wrote several episodes of the series. He also wrote the screenplays for, and directed, The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile.
