Marion Ravenwood

Director Steven Spielberg revealed that Karen Allen will reprise the role of Marion Ravenwood in the upcoming INDIANA JONES movie via a live video remote appearance at Comic-Con International in San Diego yesterday. "It's great to be here on the set of this next Indiana Jones adventure," a beaming Allen said via video conference from Hawaii, where the movie is shooting. "Great to be back in the boots of Marion Ravenwood. I'm just thrilled to be working with Steven and Harrison and Shia and Ray. ... And so Comic-Con is getting the first peek at us all together as a ... family." Joining Spielberg and Allen were Harrison Ford in costume as Indy, Shia LaBeouf as Indy's sidekick and co-star Ray Winstone. Spielberg said that the film has already completed 25 days of shooting. "I never thought this day would come, when I would actually be able to sit here and say we're actually making another Indiana Jones movie," Spielberg said. "And we're having a great time. And you know, over the last 10 or 12 or 13 years, I've made a lot of different kinds of movies. Many of them films that I really passionately needed to make for myself, but this picture, I promise you, I'm making for you guys and girls. And for all the fans of the series. And we're back, we're all in good form." Ford added: "It's a great pleasure to be back with Steven, back in ... the sweaty, dirty clothes that Indy always wears ... and to be making a dynamite movie." Ravenwood's character was first introduced in the original Indy film Raiders of the Lost Ark. The fourth Indiana Jones movie opens Memorial Day 2008.
