Word around the web is that John Hurt's role in the film will be that of Albert Einstein, although some are skeptical because the film is taking place in 1957 two years after Einstein died. Speaking of Indiana Jones IV, the official working title is now Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods. Note the word "lost" has been removed, it use to be before the word Gods. DVD NEWS The early word is that Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof, his portion of Grindhouse will get a Region 1 release on September 10th, without Planet Terror and likely without the trailers.
