: I dearly love all of the indy films and think ford is one of cinema's premier icons, but consider this.
: Harrison ford will be in his sixties when and if the forth installment is made, and while he is wearing better than any man i have ever seen, i'll say this. The indy films are, despite what the hardest fan would say, action films, and to see a sexegenarian action hero puffing around will do the trilogy no justice, it will embaress Mr ford and do no credit to the genius of spielberg. Dont get me wrong, if an Indy film were to be made without Harrison ford that would be worse, but please Harrison, realize gracefully that your too old, and too talented to make films like this at your age, it didn't work for clint and it wont work for you. Anyone who can prove me wrong, please be my guest.

I think this would show the genius of Spielberg. There is more to Indiana Jones than mere youth. I think there are going to be 2 or 3 more Indy films, with Indy aging in the process. There will be a young Indy( tv series), a middle aged Indy, and an older Indy. That's why Lucas cut out the old Indy in the tv series. These last 2 or 3 films will let us know that he didn't end up as portrayed in the YIJC. Genius, pure genius. Regards, Fedora
