USA Today talked to Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford during AFI’s 33rd Life Achievement Awards gala saluting Star Wars creator George Lucas. Spielberg said screenwriter Jeff Nathanson is readying a script for Indiana Jones 4 by summer’s end.

Asked whether Ford’s real-life lady Calista Flockhart would play Indy’s new leading lady, the actor said, “She would of course make her own decision.” Flockhart said she would definitely sign on if offered the role. “Oh, yes. If I could kick his (butt), absolutely!”

It was previously reported that both Lucas and Spielberg had signed off on the script and that Ford had not read it yet. Lucas recently summoned Nathanson to his Bay Area headquarters, where they went over the draft. The writer also got notes from Spielberg before continuing on to finish the script.
