More Karen Allen:
Initially I felt sad because we had a blast working with Shia on Crystal Skull. He had just turned 21, and I adored him. He was just the most lovely, hardworking, emotionally vulnerable person. At the time, we had no idea if there would be another [movie] but there was that beautiful little wink at the end where he starts to take the hat and Indy comes and takes it away from him. Reading that [article] put an end to that as a possibility. I mean, there was no indication as to why that was true ? whether he doesn?t want to do it or they just made the decision in terms of where they?re going with the story ? and it?s a complete mystery to me as to whether or not Marion is even a part of this next one. But I?m sorry that he won?t be a part of it. I guess [Indiana and Marion] sent him off to school after all!
