Abner Ravenwood?

Question: How credible is this source?

Is this confirmation that we'll be getting three generations of Ravenwoods?

Hurt didn't confirm ANYTHING in last night's interview, so maybe calling him Abner at this stage is presumptious.

They probably go to IMDB for their source, which still lists John Hurt as Abner.

Did you see the interview? Was it interesting? I moved to the US a while ago and don't get BBC America so didn't get a chance. I was hoping he might at least slip a couple of spoilers out...

That was my assumption as well... The way the article mentioned it made it seem very nonchalant, as if this character was common knowledge.

So, if I may add a little "mythbusting" to my original post, I'd say that the source isn't quite that credible.

Hurt was there to talk about "The Oxford Murders" but he did stray - slightly - onto Indy. He said he couldn't talk about it for fear of being sued by Lucas. He hasn't seen it yet either. When he was called back to loop his lines, they had a screwed-up black and white print running, so he couldn't make anything out. He will be in Cannes with the rest of the team on the 18th. He was very complimentary about Harrison. That's it - that's all he said.

That's all? I have to admit: I'm a bit disappointed... I was hoping that there would be some spolerish stuff about KOTCS, but no.... I guess I'll have to wait until someone (maybe Harrison?) goes (if goes) to Late Night with Conan O'Brien and it won't probably happen for a looong time...

I'm loving these rumours abound, it's making the suspense all the more exciting!

I don't know what or who to believe, and I'm really impressed with how little has leaked to ruin the movie for anyone not wanting to know.


I'm eager for any official news that comes our way...so I hope we get a bit more soon!

LaBeouf seems to be the only one at this stage permitted to reveal anything, so we may have to wait for him to speak next...

What about the page on the official Indiana Jones site that listed Hurt as Abner Ravenwood?

Guys, he didn't mean to have the picture he did. It was what the site he was linking from displayed because they didn't want him using their photos. I've once inadvertently posted a swastika along the same lines.

Heh, you got lucky, metalinvader. I didn't think that seemed like you.

Remember the set report early last year which described the academic Indy seeing somebody he thought was dead? Is this Abner? Does he come to warn Indy? Do the commies kidnap him on campus, leading to the bike chase? HELP!

P.S. metalinvader is no sleazebag, so apologies.

Considering how many details that have leaked I suspect the name of John Hurt's character would have as well. Sure, there have been bogus and contradictory rumors. But in all the major details the real ones have been present among the fakes.

So the question is if John Hurt is NOT Abner Ravenwood who is he playing? If that is not his name why has the real thing never leaked when so much else has?

I found a cute little Indy emoticon with him tipping his hat on harrisfordweb forums and pasted it over here once, and a snooty bandwidth lecture appeared where the pic should be. Thankfully, though, it wasn't a glaring anus.
