foreignerfred said:Anyone who plays Indy has to have a certain rugged charm, be dramatic and serious at points, and humorous at others.
They need to be able to pull off stepping out of the shadows after the whip crack at the beginning of Raiders, but also be able to play up the humor chasing Marion's basket and fighting baldy at the plane.
After Guardians of the Galaxy comes out...and maybe the new Jurassic Park, we'll be able to see if CHRIS PRATT has what it takes:
Spurlock said:I like Bale, but I feel like Indiana can't be played by a regular Hollywood player. The role should make a star, not take a star. Just like how Harrison was still going to be remembered for one or two roles, but Indiana Jones but him at the top, leading one of, if not the most iconic franchises (hehe) in cinematic history. Which is why prefer choices like Worthington, Hardy or even Pratt.
Spurlock said:To be honest, he's a pretty good choice. He's got chops via Zero Dark Thirty, and he nails the scruffy look.
Henry Jones VII said:I've warmed up to the idea of Chris Pratt, I think he has the looks and he could pull it off.
caats said:i believe that for Pine. Pine would be my only choice. He seemed a lot like Indy. the way he yelled, and the way he ran and screamed reminded me of the start of Raiders when Indy ran to the plane.

Le Saboteur said:...that nobody seems to care about. Both he and Pratt, however, are presently spoken for as far as Hollywood is concerned. Pratt especially so if Guardians of the Galaxy is as massive as Marvel wants it to be.
That said, I would like throw out a name. He gets mentioned frequently, but hasn't risen to household name-status yet because he hasn't had that break out hit. That person in question is Karl Urban. Not Keith, Karl. No relation.
The above snap is from Comanche Moon, the prequel to Larry McMurty's seminal Lonesome Dove series. That's not a fedora, but between this and his work in Priest, he can definitely pull off the look.
He's also been in: The Lord of the Rings (Eomer), Star Trek (Bones), Riddick (Vaako), and as the titular Dredd. We shouldn't forget his turn as Kirill in The Bourne Supremacy either.
Slap a pair of glasses on that mug and he'd make as believable an archeology professor/lecturer/adjunct as Ford did.
From The Bourne Supremacy
