Indiana Jones Announcement
hope this is news to you guys too, but when all three are talking about it it has to be a big sign of progress.

Re: Indiana Jones Announcement
I'll believe it when they start filming.
But the bit about a controversial McGuffin is intriguing. Wonder what it might be? Maybe along the DaVinci lines it's something about the descendants of Jesus.

Re: Indiana Jones Announcement
Isn't Harrison Ford pushing 70 by now? I just can't imagine why anyone would want to see a 70 year old Indiana Jones. That would be like bringing back Sean Connery now to play James Bond.

That's been my feeling since the first I heard of part 4. I just can't see how they will pull this off adequately.

Re: Indiana Jones Announcement
I don't have a problem with an older Indy, it's just that they will have to advance the storyline into the late 50's or early 60's to make up for his obvious aging. That time period doesn't have the nostalgia of the mid-40's that this series needs.

Actually, I think he's a little older than 60, he's a couple years older than George Lucas who turned 60 this year, so he should be around that age also. This has been one of my concerns also, I think he could have done really well if they started the movie like five years ago, it seems once someone starts getting old it starts to show very quickly.
It is interesting though that they are going to take a risk with the story, I wonder what it'll be? Hmmm...
EDIT: beat me to it

Yeah I think Connery could still pull of a great Bond, with the right stunt double that is
