It was mentioned that Short Round became an archeologist. Would you want to see Quan in a movie with a grown up Mr. Round over Mutt?
I think it sounds interesting.
Could it be any worse?
actually ive brought this up before..having shortround kind of going against Indy..working more for the money then the love of it...then having a change of heart along the way and both of them teaming up and kickingbutt...shortround was a great character about my favorite next to Indy. would love it if they could work him in..

A 70 year old Indy and an adult version of the annoying kid from Temple in the same film?
I better change my trousers, the excitement is uncontainable!

Well the people that still accept HF as Indy would be fine with about anything..it seems the ones with the problems are the people that hate Mutt and hate thinking of a 70 year old man kicking butt still...I choose to like about anything..and KOTCS shows me HF still has it!!
I think Dennis Quaid would do an absolutely superb 1940's Indy, but I doubt Harrison would be happy about it, and I'd rather see a couple more films with Harrison set in the late 50's or the 60's.
There's 12 years of Indy left in him. Before he catches up with Harry!
Thing is..if we are going to have an older Indy "and Denis Quaid is older"..might as well stick with Harrison Ford. Get one more awesome Indy adventure out of him and let it be done..
THEN in 10 years OR after I die, reboot,prequels,sequels,ect what ever the people want..
Shia's involvement with Indiana Jones: one movie too many. Not his fault though. Those responsible haven't helped him to become a competent actor, if indeed he is capable. He was miscast as Indiana Jones' son. That's it for him in the indyverse.

I honestly for the life of me cant find fault with Shias acting? Its not that im a huge fan. I just dont see it. I personally think he does a great job. BUT then again some people think Tom Hanks is the best actor out there...I dont..Heck I dont even like Robert DeNiro outside of "meet the parent" movies..So not everyone sees the same things. I see Shia as just as good as any of the mentioned..

Agreed; he's pretty decent. 'Indy's son' could have been a disaster but I think he makes a decent job of it. He doesn't exactly steal the film, but not everyone's Sean Connery. I don't think he does anything wrong in Skull; if anything he maybe plays too safe.
By the same token Harrison is just Harrison. Except he has some charisma. (Unless he's playing himself, in which case he's exceedingly dull and often bordering on catatonic).

And people thinking Harrison is just himself in his movies is what makes him such a great actor. Because it is NOT easy to make it look like that.
Harrison is a one-trick pony. But it's a very good trick.
I see a very different HF in all his movies. THe 2 that are similar in ways to me would be Han and Indy..other than that he does pretty good and bringing something new each time. Good actor. Probably one of the all time best actually...and I dont even like all his movies. I just know good talent when I see it.
No, he wasn't. He didn't ruin the movie because he didn't overshadow the rest of the cast at all: Crystal Skull isn't the one people remember as 'the one with the son', for better or worse. Last Crusade is 'the one with his dad'.
Also, I'd kind of agree Ford is a one trick pony, but then something like Mosquito Coast showed that he has got more than one trick: he just never liked to use it.
CS was like a subset of problems within a larger problem. Shia was one of those subset problems. He's young and undeveloped as an actor. He's too much himself in his roles and he's too popular, probably because of the teenage female fan base. And his role in CS, while not all his fault, was, well, I just can't say anything flattering about it.
This probably won't win over any popularity votes for me but I think Eric Bana, Clive Owen if he can do an American accent or even Adrian Brody (after seeing that he CAN be cool in Predators) could do a pretty good Indy.
