Cate Blanchett Lands “Indiana Jones 4” Role

The blockbuster movie franchise ”Indiana Jones“ has just added Cate Blanchett to the list of big names set to star in the story’s fourth installment.

Cate joins Harrison Ford, who has already boarded the project, which will be produced by Lucasfilm and directed by Steven Spielberg.

"With David Koepp’s screenplay shrouded in secrecy, it is unclear what character Blanchett will play. However, sources said the Oscar-winning actress has landed a starring role,” the Hollywood Reporter stated.

The movie is set to begin shooting in June in LA, with footage then to be shot at undisclosed locations around the world. Paramount Pictures will release their final product around the world on May 22, 2008, with a handful of territories opening the following day.

Blanchett, who is filming David Fincher’s “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” next will lend her voice to Wes Anderson’s “The Fantastic Mr. Fox.” In addition to her Academy Award win for “The Aviator,” she received a supporting nomination this year for her role in Richard Eyre’s “Notes on a Scandal.”

Now her future is looking even brighter… it doesn’t get much bigger than Spielberg and Indiana Jones!
