Have you seen all the jokes that Jay Leno does for the upcoming Rocky 6?
I don't want the same thing to happen when Indy IV comes out.

I don't want to see Indy looking like anything close to that USA Today picture from the first message.
I want Indy to kick a**, I want Indy looking like in the above picture
and unfortunately I'm not sure that the men pictured in the USA Today picture can look like that anymore ...

I'm still in doubt myself if Harrison could possibly do it
Maybe yes, maybe not ...
Sometimes I say yes he can, sometimes no he can't
I don't say that Harrison is getting old for movies in general
No. He still is the best.
But I'm not sure for Indy IV.

Some say, "Harrison isn't old. Look at Air Force One"
Yes AFO was an action movie
but Harrison was playing the President of United States
someone in his 50's-60's
in all three installment of the current trilogyI think Indy is in his 30's
that will be a drastic change
and I don't think Spielberg/Lucas want to give an end to the Indiana Jones story so soon

I think that Indy IV will definetely happen
maybe Indy V and VI completing another trilogy
they speak about Indy IV coming out in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005 etc.
in 2002 Harrison will be 60 years old
I don't think that Harrison can still play Indy
an active and kick-a** Indy at least
like in the Nazi Tank fight scene in the Last Crusade
and if Spielberg/Lucas plans another trilogy I don't think he will want to change Indy actors during the trilogy

May God prove me wrong
but every day its getting more difficult
