Casino Royale opening boxoffice of 40 m implies that James Bond still has it following after all these years.

Another way of asking : whom do you think can replace HF as Indy if Indy 4 is such a huge success and SS & GL decided that Indy prequels should be produced?

Whom do you think carry the character of Indy well? Which actor do you think can replace HF after Indy 4? why?
 
Especially after his performance in "Flight Of The Phoenix", I'd court Dennis Quaid to play Indy if there was going to be a 4th movie...

Quaid is almost as old as Ford(n) As far as picking a talented actor that looks enough like HF,I would go for Edward Norton. He is one of the best actors out there and is young enough to keep Indy in his prime.
 
"Quaid is almost as old as Ford"

He is, but he SURE don't LOOK it.... and as with all movies, looks are one of the biggest factor. Quaid has the ruggedness needed for Indy.

Ed Norton, while being a very talented actor sure ain't Indy material, anymore than say, Giovanni Ribisi would be. Just to name another young and very talented performer (Maybe even more talented than Norton)

Harrison Ford, because...

Harrison Ford = Indiana Jones
Indiana Jones = Harrison Ford

No one can replace him.
 
They said the same thing about the original James bond....
Bzzzzt!

They said the same thing about the original Superman....
Bzzzt!

So you saying it about the original Indy is strike 3....

Heh

"Harrison Ford = Indiana Jones
Indiana Jones = Harrison Ford"
I'll bet you that Harry would object to that MOST strenuously

I think Dennis Quaid looks like a cross between Harrison Ford and Kevin Costner. He would be a good Indiana Jones. I still want Harrison Ford to be Indiana Jones in IJ4 though. Edward Norton is a very good actor but he's kind of scrawny with a matching voice.
 
That golfer guy Nick Faldo - he looks like Harrison Ford and they wouldnt even need to die his hair and dub over the creaking noises. Plus they could have a neat stunt golfing scene in there, possibly set in a bunker.

An interesting question . . .I have always liked the idea of keeping th franchise alive like the 007 movies. I like the idea because as a whole 007 is great, but as indivdual movies most really are not that great. The way we pick apart the 3 indy movies you can almost say the same about hte 3 Indy movies. I always liked Brad Pitt to play Indy. If you watch some of his earlier movies like legends and river he can be a real bad ass, but like in the oceans movies he can be a real smart ass also. Ed Norton is a great pick, but not really Indy material. Who was the guy who was in the mummy . . .or was that George of the Jungle . . .

Have you seen Norton in American History X ? He wasn't to scrawny or un-rugged when he forced a guy to chew on the curb. I like Brad Pitt as Indy too, even though he does not look the part. Would you want to see a Harrison Ford lookalike, or someone who captures the spirit of Indy?
 
"Have you seen Norton in American History X ?"
That was a long time ago.... Ed sure doesn't look like that anymore

I just never thought he looked.... well.... ummmm.... 'classic' I guess could be the word.... or 'period', might be better

Brendon Fraser can look 'period'.... so can Bill Campbell, starred in "The Rocketeer" (Though not so much 15 years later...)

Ford sure pulled it off when he was younger....

I saw Quaid at a restaurant here in austin a while back. He looks a whole lot older in person, and I was a little suprised at how short he was. Anyways, they must do some studio magic to make him look younger and better in film.

Spirit of Indy, like the new Bond, which people seem to be raving about!, (I have yet to see it!)

If you HAD to replace HF, Eric Bana would be a good choice. He reminds me of a 30 something Harrison Ford. (Try not to think of him in the Hulk)

In The Movie Industry, you can't have one without the other...

Only that it would seriously bomb the BO if people associated Hugh with a fedora to Van Helsing...


Let's see, hmm... well, let's say Ben Browder. Just because the guy needs a new job now that SG1 got axed.
