Steven Spielberg plans to film Indiana Jones in 2019

Los Angeles: Steven Spielberg is planning to shoot the fifth installment of the "Indiana Jones" film franchise next year.

Sources told The Hollywood Reporter that the 71-year-old director is expected to start principal photography of the movie before he kicks off shooting for a new version of Broadway musical "West Side Story".

The Harrison Ford-starring franchise features ahead of its planned July 10, 2020 release date.

The untitled "Indiana Jones" film comes over 10 years after its previous installment, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" which was panned by the critics.
