...jokes are as true for director Steven Spielberg and producer George Lucas as for the star. It's 27 years since Raiders of the Lost Ark started the Jones boy on his adventures, 19 years since the most recent Indy movie, The Last Crusade, and 30 years this month since Lucas and Spielberg sat on a Hawaiian beach and made a handshake deal for an action film that one would produce and the other direct. They'd be stupid to ignore the toll that time takes on moviemakers and movie stars. All were in their 30s when they made Raiders...
...Next Sunday, the anticipation and star quality will be even higher when Cannes hosts the world premiere of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, produced by George Lucas, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Harrison Ford, Karen Allen, Shia LaBeouf and Cate Blanchett.

These people have all recognized that participation in the Olympics is a tacit endorsement...
French President Nicolas Sarkozy said he could not "close the door" to the possibility that he might skip part of the Beijing Olympics. Hollywood figures Steven Spielberg, Richard Gere and Mia Farrow have invoked the idea of a boycott for reasons ranging from Tibet to Darfur. Meanwhile, protesters are disrupting the winding path of the Olympic torch from Greece to the opening ceremonies...
