Indiana Jones and the What?

So Indiana Jones 4 is in production, and, of course, needs a name. So LucasFilm has registered the following titles as the possible picks for the new Indiana Jones movie. (Although personally I don't think any title can be as good as "Raiders of the Lost Ark.")

So here are the names that were registered. And it should be noted that the final film title may not even be one of these. In fact, these all may be red herrings. So take them with that proverbial grain of sand.

• Indiana Jones and the City of Gods
• Indiana Jones and the Destroyer of Worlds
• Indiana Jones and the Fourth Corner of the Earth
• Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
• Indiana Jones and the Lost City of Gold
• Indiana Jones and the Quest for the Covenant

I can't really say I'm impressed with any of them. City of Gods is okay. Destroyer of Worlds? That's Galactus from the Silver Surfer. Fourth Corner? Doesn't that sound too much likePirates of the Caribbean : At World's End? Crystal Skull? He-Man comes to mind for some reason. Lost City of Gold would be okay as long as we have the Spanish conquering Central America.

And then Quest for the Covenant. That one really doesn't fit in with the others. It's a lot like the first movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark. But methinks that maybe, just maybe, Lucas is using the Ark again; since this may be the last Indy movie, the Ark is back as a bookend.

Whatever the movie is called, I just hope it's good. I mean, really good. Indiana Jones 4 is scheduled to be released May 22, 2008,

My understanding is that the 4th installment was always supposed to involve Atlantis. It was the subject of a video game, and for some reason I seem to remember that the game was used heavily for at least several iterations of a draft screenplay, years ago...
