: : : Something that occured to me and which I think is quite plausable.

: : : Perhaps Lucasfilm are gambling on the fact that they (or ILM, I suppose) will have developed the technology in the next few years to fully create a complete Indiana Jones using computers. They could make him any age they wanted!

: : : My initial reaction to such a thought was "no way!" but considering the pace at which this field is evolving, in a few years we won't be able to tell the difference between animation and the real thing.

: : : If this is the case, why not put Indy in the prime of his life rathar than risk a dodgy Indy IV with the aged Harrison Ford? (I know this notion will be opposed with the distinction between Harrison Ford and Indiana Jones to some as a very thin line...)

Hey:
Yeah, I guess you're right - but I was saying that the first CGI human ACTOR is along ways off, according to Lucas, who is certainly an authority. By this I mean a human character that is indistinguishable from a real person.
