Harrison Ford, everyone's favorite archeologist/Millennium Falcon pilot, has signed on to participate in a new Civil War thriller to be entitled MANHUNT. The movie will tell the story of the days following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, as Ford will play the leader of 12 troops from the New York Cavalry as they attempt to track down John Wilkes Booth.

The film will have the added suspense of a greater plot line concerned with threat of increased war in Civil War era America, and is actually based on a book of the same name by author/attorney James L. Swanson which will be coming out later this year.

The writer from FINDING FORRESTER will be teaming up with Lawrence Bender who will produce. (Lawrence Bender is most noted for producing Tarantino films like PULP FICTION and KILL BILL 2, so that is a big plus for the flick.)

As for now, the future of a forth INDIANA JONES hangs in the wind, but rumors indicate that Ford will not begin filming MANHUNT until INDIANA JONES 4 is done.
