According to The Hollywood Reporter Oscar-winning actress Cate Blanchett has signed on to play opposite Harrison Ford in the fourth Indiana Jones film.  The signing of Blanchett certainly amps up the star power for the new Indy film, although the exact nature of her role (like all the major details of David Koepp's screenplay) remains a closely guarded secret.

 

Shooting on the new Indiana Jones movie starts in Hollywood in June.  The long-awaited film is slated to open for the Memorial Day weekend on May 22nd, 2008.
