What Happens When Harrison Ford Dies?

Ok, some of you guys are going to feel a little bit uncomfortable with this thread, so I'll try and be as delicate as possible. Harrison Ford, as you all know, is not a young man. In recent pictures in fact, he has looked increasingly frail.

So I have 3 related questions:-

1) If he dies AFTER Indy V, what should happen to the series? Get a new actor in to play Indy? Continue the series with Shia?

2) What happens if Harrison dies during the shooting of Indy V - for example one of the stunts takes so much exertion that his heart can't handle it. Should they use CGI to create his remaining scenes? Would you still go and see it?

3) What if he dies before the film starts shooting, but the script, etc is finalised. Do we cancel the film altogether, or get a new actor in?

Yeesh.

Getting a tad paranoid with Indy V aren't we now? And morbid.

Whatever happens happens.

I don't think Ford is "frail". I mean, he an older man, but he's not in a wheelchair with a feeding tube for god's sake.

Just because he's "old" doesn't mean he's going to die soon. And recent celebrity deaths have shown us that. Heath Ledger, Michael Jackson, Billy Mayes, David Carridine were all "active" and popular, and then one day *Boom*gone.

Let's all just hope and speculate for Indy V. We'll talk about this when that day comes. Which hopefully won't be for a long time.

And by the way, Indy dies with Ford, just my opinion.

We go into deep mourning and then watch plenty of Star Wars, Indy, and Blade Runner to honor him.

Of course, if he died shortly after filming completed on Indy 5 (ha!... lol), he'd become this Ledger type and it would probably be called the greatest movie ever, kids would wear Indy shirts from Hot Topic, etc.

He is Indiana Jones and anything that happens after he's passed on should be in the other mediums (animated series, comics, video games, etc). And maybe let Mutt take the wheel after that.

He looked a bit frail in recent interviews, I thought. Its not nice to see, to be honest. What if he has to start using a wheelchair over the next year or so? Could this be incorporated into the story of Indy V somehow? You couldn't just drop him from the fil because of a wheelchair - there are all sorts of discrimination laws that would need to be followed. I don't know - he (Harrison/Indy) could be like the Professor Xavier (from X-men) mastermind character, with Mutt being the guy running around and handling all of the action....... What do you think?

You're hilarious, man.

But seriously, all the jokes now about Ford being old is getting...old. So I can't imagine him playing the role in a wheelchair. All the amount of jokes would be mind numbingly annoying. And what the hell could he possibly do? I hope all those lost temples have a ramp on the side.

And, again, Ford isn't the feeble old man you're making him out to be. He doesn't even use those old listening horns in interviews yet nor does he visit Country Kitchen Buffet at 7:30 am. But he is starting to wear his pants higher.

Chill, man.

I think the only thing we have to worry about for Indy V is George and Steven going senile before Ford.

With the Dan Aykroyd connection Indy could be a psuedo Ghostbusters III prequel and can be shown as a partof a double feature!

Indiana Jones and the Minions of Gozer

P-E-R-F-E-C-T.

Mutt can get slimed. Don't cross the whips. Marion gets possessed.

Endless possibilities.

Mutt: What did you do, dad?!
Indy: I tried to think of the most harmless thing. Something that could never ever possibly destroy us.
Mutt: What?!
Indy: The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull action scenes.

If Ford dies it would give Hollywood the opportunity to use the new Gravemation technique.

They simply dig up Ford, insert a wireframe endoskeleton into his corpsed body and animate him frame by frame for Indy V.

Hey, Presto! Everyone's a winner!:D

I never thought I'd see stop motion again in another Indiana Jones film ! Bring it on!

Wait! Wait! No! Don't bring it on!
We're horrible people.

Horribly hilarious.
