Indiana Jones: Who will the next actor be?

[jdavis]

They should just drop all the funny stuff and have Russel Crowe beating people up in the Indy vs Hitler rematch. Or maybe Samuael L. Jackson doing a seventies style Indiana Jones, Urban Archeologist. Of course the way Lucas is going he'll just want to use a digitally enhanced Harrison Ford for future movies. They can use any old stuntman and just overlap a digital young Ford over in post production.

Actually the big question should be "who's the next Jones girl?"

Let's pretend that there are 4-5 more Indiana Jones movies. Harrison Ford is in his 70's now. Who should take his place?

Nobody. But I'd say that Ford is good for another 2 or 3 more films regardless of his age. You just need to have the character age along with the actor and change the villains from Nazis to Soviets (who seemed to work just fine as bad guys in the Connery Bond films).

Well, me, I've got a Jones for some Jennifer Connelly. But that could just be me.

Actually, she's got a very good 1930's-40's look to her (I'm thinking Mullholland Falls and Dark City here). Might be a good Indy girl.

My choice: Sean Patrick Flanery, who starred in the Young Indiana Jones TV series.

Why go as far as Mullholland Falls & Dark City when there's The Rocketeer? And yes, Jennifer Connolley (when she's not underweight) is possibly the most beautiful woman in the history of the world.

Monica Bellucci. Please? Pretty please?

 

[Desdichado]

I'd rather see "Indianna Jones" influenced movies rather than another Indianna Jones movie, myself. It wouldn't be the same without Harrison Ford, and it wouldn't be the same with an older Harrison Ford. But the Mummy movies showed that similarly themed stuff could be done and could rock like the original Raiders did.

Nope. Callista Flockhart. *sigh*

 

[Hypersmurf]

Nope. Callista Flockhart. *sigh*

Well, in case it means anything:

HarrisonFordWeb.com reports that Ford was asked by "Access Hollywood" this week about the Flockhart rumor, and he flatly denied it.

-Hyp.

I was about to suggest that. It would nicely round things out.

As for Brendan Fraiser, well, I'd rather he do more Mummy movies. I really liked those. Among other things, I especially liked the "Roll 'o' Guns" from the first movie and the "Trunk 'o' Guns" from the second. FINALLY, a character who is properly armed...
