: Spielberg and Ford need to sit down and discuss this. Last week on "Entertainment Tonight" I saw Spielberg get asked point blank about the possibility of Indy IV. He said he was ready to go but it would have to be soon because "Harrison said he only has four or five more years left in him to do an action film". Pretty positive coming from Spielberg but it really drives home the supposition that maybe Ford is shying away from the project. The mystery continues... -MP

: The latest from Harrison Ford on an INDIANA JONES 4...

: Hey folks, Harry here. Well... I've been hearing quite a bit about what's
: happening concerning this film and the... hold ups. One source at
: Paramount claims that Steven and George have a great script sitting in
: front of them, but Harrison is a bit hesitant to put the hat on again and
: doesn't want to do it. Meanwhile, in the public eye, the following is what
: Harrison says...

: Harry

: Thought you maybe could use this, from UK’s "Big Breakfast" show on Channel 4 11/22/99. When Harrison
: Ford was asked

: "When is Indiana Jones coming back?"

: he replied

: "Steven and George will not be available until 2005, and I don’t know whether I’ll be fit or interested at that
: point, but I hope it could happen before that."

: Reason to be cautiously optimistic I think, as long as he ditches the ear-ring to play our favourite whip-cracking
: archaeologist!

: Regards

: T.P.

: So... What are we to think? Ford claims to want to do the film sooner
: rather than later. Why would Steven not be available till 2005? Who
: needs George on set everyday? I mean... isn't he basically just one of
: the producers? I'm sure Steven could get by without his direct constant
: help. So... with that in mind, why would Steven not be ready after
: MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA, which would place filming sometime late
: summer 2001? Well... let's keep our fingers crossed, that is... if you want
: to see one last Indy film. I believe there could be one last great one, but
: if it isn't GREAT, then let us have that last shot of them all riding off into
: the sunset... That's a bit fitting don't ya think?

: Folks... Harry here again to answer the bit about Harrison Ford would be
: TOO OLD TO PLAY INDY in 2005. Did anyone see THE ROCK? That was
: what a 66 year old Sean Connery could do. In 2005, Harrison Ford would
: be 63. I don't know which script LUCASFILM and SPIELBERG are
: thinking of going with, but in my eyes... you would have to set the film
: sometime in either the late forties or early fifties. Henry Jones Jr has
: long since dropped the moniker Indiana... Some past pupil of his wants
: his aid on something... It's just a simple thing... that becomes unsimple. I
: would love to see an older Indiana. A character with... old football
: injuries. Slower, more pained. I could fanboy out and talk and write for
: hours about what I'd do, but ya know... What would you do with a 63
: year old Indiana Jones?
