I agree that she does look incredible. Phoebe has written and headlined a few TV shows, including NTTD for us. I wonder if she had a hand in the screenplay for Indy 5.
It hasn't been mentioned if she has, but I guess scripts get polished all the time and the persons responsible don't get credited. Last Crusade had its script worked over by Tom Stoppard no less, and apparently he was responsible for making that script really work (Spielberg said he wrote pretty much every line of dialogue, and it's packed full of classic lines). Hopefully they've got this one just right too- I think an Indy film really needs a deft script.
I'm reading this just a little too late but I can subscribe to every single line of it.
+Fleabag is hilarious…
This woman is gold.. However I dont think she helped writing on the script…she polished the female roles for NTTD, which was what I heard…they should definitly give her a try for a full script…

This is a bit of a précis of it.

He should have been credited with the screenplay.
It's interesting that apparently some of the ideas in the earlier script came from, among others, Sean Connery.
Part of the reason is that Stoppard would then have to be paid additional royalties.
And in some cases, writers might get offended at having to split their check with someone who just inserted some gags and edits into their script. Not that this is always the case, of course.
So typically script doctors tend to get paid a very large fee (sometimes even more than the original writer) in one lump sum, slightly 'under the table'.
The rule of thumb with who gets credited with what on a movie is almost always "what will cause the studio the least amount of headaches with their creatives and the film guilds?"
That would make the most sense
It’s actually the same costume designer, amazingly.
When it comes to a title, If they continue what has already been established , it will contain an object or location related to the quest. So far we’ve had an Ark. a Temple, a Grail and a Skull.
Love this pic.
INDIANA JONES and THE FINAL TOTEM
INDIANA JONES and THE BROKEN CLOCK
The grail wasn’t in the title though. As you say, the titles usually have a location as the main subject of the phrase (two of them), the quest itself (one of them) or the people going on the quest (one of them) - I’m ignoring the ‘Indiana Jones and the..’ bit obviously!
So any title which says just Indiana Jones and the Spear or Destiny or whatever doesn’t really fit the pattern we’ve had previously. It’s a bit dull if it’s just an object, more dynamic if it’s a dangerous place to go to or an actual quest or activity.
Just a hunch, but it hasn't been in any of the titles so far and it fits Indiana Jones nicely.
INDIANA JONES AND THE QUEST FOR PEACE.
Lol, I had a brain hiccup.
