No Sean Connery in Indy 4 Some disheartening news today in the still untitled fourth Indiana Jones installment, as Sean Connery officially announced that he will not be joining Cate Blanchett and Shia LaBeouf, stating:

"I get asked the question so often, I thought it best to make an announcement. I thought long and hard about it and if anything could have pulled me out of retirement it would have been an Indiana Jones film. I love working with Steven and George, and it goes without saying that it is an honor to have Harrison as my son. But in the end, retirement is just too damned much fun. I, do however, have one bit of advice for Junior: Demand that the critters be digital, the cliffs be low, and for goodness sake keep that whip by your side at all times in case you need to escape from the stunt coordinator! This is a remarkable cast, and I can only say, 'Break a leg, everyone.' I'll see you on May 22, 2008, at the theater!"

I'm glad he's so giddy about it, although I'm confused as to how the man who turned down playing Gandalf is going to pass on the chance to play Indy's dad one more time.
