In Reply to: In Regard to some of the posts below concerning Ford's age..... posted by Rundquist on August 07, 2001 at 15:34:55:

I think a huge part of the charm of the movie would be to show Indiana getting older. It happens. Has there ever been a 'hero' who has actually gotten older in the movies. Not that it should be character driven, but I think Ford is up to being able to do plenty of action. I say if they try and hide his age, BIG mistake. They should use it in their favor. One of the best things about Indiana Jones was he wasn't superhuman. He got hurt, scared and tired. My opinion, anyway. If I was writing a script, I wouldn't have it be chockful of old jokes (Space Cowboys. Still liked the movie) but I would make his getting older a big part of the movie.
