I just pulled the following from IMDB.com (Internet Movie Data Base):
Fourth Installment of the Indiana Jones Adventures (2008)
advertisement By 3 June 2003, Frank Darabont's script was being reported as being complete.
The production crew stated that the film would be shot the same way as the previous three - with stunt men, rather than computer generated effects.
M. Night Shyamalan and Tom Stoppard were each asked to pen a draft of the screenplay.
"Indiana Jones and The Lost Continent" is the title of one of the possible scripts being considered.
As of April 2004, the project has been officially shelved once more after George Lucas rejected the script by Frank Darabont earlier. Reportedly, Lucas did not like Darabont's handling of the storyline between Indy and his brother (both Indy's father played by Sean Connery and brother, a role for which Kevin Costner was rumored to be considered, were to have roles in the new movie). In media reports Darabont indicated he was "disappointed" with the decision.
At one point, Calista Flockhart was attached to the project.
Natalie Portman was considered for the role of Indiana Jones's daughter
