news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6219025.stmBy which time Harrison Ford will be 66  OK, he looks reasonable for his age but I can't see him pulling this off, remember how old Roger Moore looked in A View To A Kill, and he was 'only' 58! Would make sense to hand the reins over to a younger model IMO but that's ego for you. Raiders Of The Lost Ark and Last Crusade still classics, Temple of Doom still the limp cheesy wotsit in the middle ;D

Some people just don't know when to say, enough's enough! It'll spoil the legend!

Well he certainly 'fit's the Indiana Jones aesthetic!

Lol! I'm sure he could, quite easily!
It was always gonna be Ford though, him G. Lucas and Spielberg have worked together in countless films (to great success) but it's a bit like football, it's the people in control that can't see the errors..
Having said that, it's been a long time coming and they've been working on it for years.. so it must be pretty good.

Maybe it'll be 'Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Post Office'...  |

Sounds like they are trying to follow Stallones way (doing Rocky and another Rambo) to boost failing stardom.

I was gonna slate this but in all fairness, it is hard to dismiss something by Spielberg and Lucus

It's not those two I'm doubting in fairness, it's the aging Ford's aptitude to convincingly portray an action man. I think the aforementioned actor would be a better choice and that was just off the top of my head. 66 |

As for Ford, who knows...maybe they have brang him back and he passes the mantle over in the film....i dunno. |

Yeah man, I'm looking forward to the return of Indiana, there's always more mileage in a series if you take the right approach, eg the reinvention of Batman last year and Superman this year. Police Academy is an obvious exception to the rule  (There is another one on the way apparently!) I think Ford wants to prove he can still cut it, but I'm sorry, mid 60s is not going to convince anyone. I think Bruce Willis will only just about get away with this Die Hard film and he's only 51, a relative spring chicken! |

I think thats a decent point although personally i didnt go much on either of the films you mentioned but i think in the main, they can be deemed successful comebacks by the majority. Lol at Police Academy...that would be interesting! I like the guy that talks funny ;D |
