We've heard George Lucas talk about a possible fifth "Indiana Jones" movie, but nothing solid has come of it. Now, Sci Fi Wire chatted with Karen Allen, who was brought back for "Indiana Jones 4 this year, to find out how close we are to a new installment. Unfortunately, not very close since she hasn't heard of anything, even though she would love to return.

"I would say [I'm] very open to it," she said. "You know, this was a delightful experience and, yeah. I would welcome it."

But has anyone brought up the possibility of another movie? "Not really," she said. "No. I mean, except for fans and, you know, I've had a lot of people say, 'Is there going to be another one?' But, no, not officially."

So there you have it. Even if Lucas is working on "Indiana Jones 5," it will probably be a while before they would ever consider beginning development. And Harrison Ford is not getting any younger.
