Harrison Ford has revealed that plans for the newest addition to the Indiana Jones have almost come to a head.

The actor has said that he is almost ready to reprise his role as the whip-cracking, gun toting hero in Steven Spielberg's Indiana Jones IV.

Speaking to German magazine Fit for Fun, Ford said: "Steven Spielberg and I now have a script in hand that we both like. I believe that we can start with the filming soon."

The 63-year-old added that he still needed "to do a little practicing with the whip" to avoid hurting himself.
