And that's why he's the man. He made a number of comments around the time of Indy 4 about how we need to get over this fear of aging we have. He insisted on keeping his hair silver for the movie, which looks great. He's also a "face actor", and botox and all that fakeness would really get in the way of his acting. I for one would love to look like him when I reach his age.
And plus, Indy gets beat to hell in the movies, so he should show some signs of wear. It gives him character. He's done a lot of living.

Geoff Boucher, who will be conducting an interview with HF on the 19th has an open invitation for fans to submit their own questions for Mr. Ford. If you're feeling proactive, you can send him your interview question here. As I said in my previous post about this, it's inevitable that an Indy 5 question will be asked, so why not give him something good to use? Doesn't hurt to ask, you know! (I submitted mine, but it hasn't posted yet )

"Game's not over Lao," George has been known to "fix" things with different releases....and we still need a bluray box-set of all 4 films. then of course there's the bluray box set of both the OT and the NT a few years ahead

I'm wondering if George Lucas or Steven Spielberg are planning any interviews any time soon. We've heard from Harrison mention the possibility of Indy 5 within the past year, and we also heard that remark Shia LeBeof made about Indy 5 last summer when Transformers 2 came out, but not a peep from Lucas or Spielberg regarding Indy 5 in a long while. Those are the guys I'd love to hear from, especially Lucas.

Fine. I'll see what I can do.
I get the idea that we won't hear a thing out of those two until it is either officially green-lit, or until it's progress can't be hidden any longer. Whichever comes first.
I actually hate to complain about the lack of info, or even a 5th film at all, because these guys don't work for me. (and don't bother arguing that our movie ticket and merchandise purchases mean that they do, you know what I mean, people). It's just frustrating when you constantly hear about SW stuff, and Indy is shuffled off into the corner like some rumpled and discarded old toy that GL refuses to let anyone else play with even though he's not as interested in it.
I know how it works with these guys, though, so I'll patiently wait out the process.
INT. SKYWALKER RANCH, GEORGE LUCAS' OFFICE
George (wearing his Jar-Jar mask) is deeply immersed in serious play-acting with some action figures. There is a Wookie in his left hand, Ashoka in his right. Harrison bursts through George's office door.
HARRISON
Hey buddy, they're killing me with all these Indy 5 questions, is there anything-
GEORGE
(pulling off his mask)
KNOCK, DAMMIT! How many times do I have to tell you to KNOCK before you come in here?
HARRISON
(embarrassed and humble)
Sorry, I just-
GEORGE
Did you see anything!?
HARRISON
(now staring at his own feet)
No George, I didn't see you playing with your DOLLS again
Neither can make make eye-contact with the other.
GEORGE
What do you want?
HARRISON
I was just wondering if there is anything I can tell people about another Indiana-
GEORGE
That again? Can't you see how busy I am?
HARRISON
Uhhh yeah...with Star Wars
GEORGE
Yeah with Star Wars. You didn't want to do anymore of those, remember? You could've if you wanted, I would've even let you wear the stupid whip as Han again, remember?
HARRISON
C'mon George, let's just be reasonable abou-
GEORGE
I know you are but what am I!
HARRISON
Wait,...what?
GEORGE
Yer mom.
HARRISON
(using the "Ford Finger")
Now wait just a minute.
Attempting to utilize "The Force", George waves his hand in the air towards Harrison.
GEORGE
You don't want anymore Indiana Jones, you want to play Han Solo again.
The "Ford Finger" wavers and falls.
HARRISON
(deadpan)
"Oh forget it."
As Harrison turns to leave,George casually lifts a plastic light-saber off of his messy desk.
GEORGE
(smugly)
That's right. Keep walkin, Harry.
Harrison spins around and whips the toy out of George's hand with his bullwhip. George lets out a girlish shriek. Harrison catches the saber in his left hand and casts it aside.
HARRISON
You call me "Dr. Jones", Jorge. Got it?
Whimpering, "Jorge" nods his head rapidly while rubbing his now sore wrist.
HARRISON
(motioning with his whip)
I want some progress, SOON.
GEORGE
You got it, Har-...D-Dr. Jones.
Harrison nods, pulls a fedora out from behind his back. He sets it on his own head, pulls down the brim, looks around the room and exits.
GEORGE
(to himself)
I wish I wasn't so in love with him.
Aaaaaaand SCENE.
Yeah....just like that.

Thanks guys! I was cracking myself up when I wrote it (yeah, I'm one of those guys that laughs at his own jokes ). Sucks about SS's next project, but what's he supposed to do. Sit around waiting forever for GL to get his act together? A bit depressing nonetheless. I mean, who cares about "War Horse"?
Nice one Indy's Brother. right now it's looking like prgress on Indy 5 is actually moving behind. It's been two years. No screenwriter, looks like spielberg has moved on, and lucas is in his office playing with dolls
Ford seems the be the only one who is possibly interested. Other than that I'm thinking the next indy movie that we'll be seeing my come in about another 4-10 years.
I don't know why some of you guys are surprised... Steve has to move forward. It's up to Georgie boy to get the boulder rolling... and as far as we know he's not
I've been saying this for a while now but, I think a film that is George's story, Steven helmed and stars Harrison is now just as attainable as one of the strange and powerful relics that Jones goes after... meaning it's virtually unattainable. I don't think its happening folks.

Well, we are all waiting on George. The last thing we heard that included GL was Feb 24th, which was really only 2 months ago:
Quote:
"Steven and George and I are sort of agreed on a germ of an idea and we're seeing what comes of it. The process works like this. We come to some basic agreement and then George goes away for a long time and works on it. Then Steven and I get it in some form, some embryonic form. Then if we like it we start working with George on it and at some point down the line it's ready and we do it."
Two months doesn't meant the thing is dead, just not moving as quickly as we would like. I'm not giving up just yet.
Spielberg has to renew his passport and work with producers Marshall and Kennedy for a WWI summer action/period piece due in 15 months, and everyone's bummed?
Wait a sec on the War Horse thing you guys. Remember when Steve was "officially" doing that remake of Harvey. That went nowhere, and I have a feeling this will be the same. If he's "working" on Indy 5 and War Horse at the same time, he'll choose to go through with Indy.

Thanks for giving this a much needed reality check, Moe.

I knew it. George Lucas cares nothing about doing another Indiana Jones movie. Star Wars is his sandbox. And Star Wars is what Mr. Lucas will work from now until his days of retirement. So, let us bid Dr. Jones farewell. That also confirms that J.J. Abrams project is not Indiana Jones related also.
