David Koepp, a longtime Spielberg confederate who wrote 1993s Jurassic Park, has been tapped to pen the script for the new adventure, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
This wont be Koepps first swing on the jungle vine, as the screenwriter, who also wrote Spielberg movies The Lost World: Jurassic Park and War of the Worlds, co-wrote the previous Indiana Jones movie, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Plot details are being kept secure in the Well of the Souls. It is unclear if Koepp is working off any existing treatment or story. Crystal Skull, for example, has treatments written by Indiana Jones co-creator George Lucas and the story credit went to Lucas and Jeff Nathanson, the latter who wrote several drafts.
Lucas' involvement in the new movie project remains unclear. He was not mentioned in Disney's announcement this week and if the new Star Wars movies are any indication, he will not be involved. (He was vocal in saying Force Awakens did not use his ideas.)
