A man has been charged following the theft of computers and photographs from the set of the next Indiana Jones film.

Roderick Davis, 37, denied receiving stolen goods - a charge which carries a minimum jail term of four years - when appearing in court in Los Angeles.

Detectives posed as potential buyers for the items and set up a meeting with Mr Davis, according to prosecutors.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, again starring Harrison Ford, is due for release next May.

A court clerk said Mr Davis, who has previous convictions for theft, pleaded not guilty and was released on bail of $100,000 (USD) (£49,000).

Mr Davis was not available for comment.

Earlier this week, the film’s producers settled a legal case against an actor who was accused of revealing the plot in a newspaper interview.

A court order claimed Tyler Nelson had knowingly broken the confidentiality agreement he signed after being cast.

    I don’t know why an actor would do that. Its a great way to get yourself blacklisted.

    Mind you the way its going they called this film “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Pirates”
