Steven Spielberg knows audiences didn't love latest Indiana Jones film, but won't make a fifth to "prove a point"

Strong principles: Veteran director Steven Spielberg won't make a movie just to change people's minds

Steven Spielberg won't make a fifth 'Indiana Jones' movie to "prove any point".

The filmmaker - who has directed all four of the previous instalments in the franchise - does know many people did not enjoy the last movie 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull', but would not work on further films just so he could win them round.

He told MTV News: "I would not make a fifth movie to prove any point. If we get a good story, I'll make it. If George Lucas doesn't think we should make any more, I'll listen to him.

"I think audiences think we're two for two. They love 'Raiders'. They love 'Last Crusade'. They don't love as much 'Temple of Doom' or 'Crystal Skull'.

Harrison Ford, who has played the titular whip-cracking character in all the previous movies, has previously claimed he would like to have another go at making a decent follow-up.

He said: "I wouldn't mind another shot at Indiana Jones. I still think we have a chance of making a really good one."
