There are 25 to 30 stunt performers working on the Big Island portion of the production, but executive producer Kathleen Kennedy said the 65-year-old Ford still handles his own leaps and falls during filming.

"He's doing them, he just has a few more ice packs and a few more massages," Kennedy told reporters today.

A crew of about 400, including more than 100 local hires, is on the Big Island shooting scenes for the fourth in the Indiana Jones series. The filming for the still-unnamed movie is being done on private property and out of view of the public.

The cast and crew are expected to pack up and leave for the next location between July 21 and July 24, but before they do they will have spent about $15 million on the Big Island, not including shipping costs, said location manager Mike Fantasia.

Kennedy declined to say what the overall budget is for the production, but said to total cost will be "nothing particularly unusual" for a major movie today.
