To my knowledge, no one other than Harrison Ford is repeating a role in the
new Indiana Jones movie.  In particular, Karen Allen is definitely not; there
will be a different female co-star.  Spielberg is directing, Lucas producing.
I can't swear to it, but I think the screenplay is by the same husband and
wife team who wrote "American Graffiti" for Lucas. (the Huycks ?)

"Conan: Prince of Thieves" is due out this summer.  I think Milius is directing
it, again.  "Streets of Fire" is due out some time in late winter or spring.
It's a futuristic view of Los Angeles, where rock and roll and violent gangs
rule the streets.  It's being directed by Walter Hill ("48 Hrs", "Southern
Comfort", "The Long Riders"), who specializes in action movies, and stars
Diane Lane and Michael Pare.  Last I heard, "Dune" is set for the summer
after next.  The next Star Trek movie will probably be out next Christmas.
Disney has been working on an animated version of "The Black Cauldron" for
years now; it must be nearly ready.  "2010: Odyssey II" has been announced 
for Christmas.  It's to be directed by Peter Hyams ("Capricorn I", "Star
Chamber").  He's something of a hack, and he's definitely no Kubrick.
