Indiana Jones V
It looks like Disney is going to reboot the Indiana Jones franchise.
Where do you stand? The 2 basic camps seem to be (A) only Harrison Ford can play Indy, or (B) It is time to treat Indiana Jones like James Bond, using new actors as necessary. Personally, I'd buy a ticket either way.
Although it will never happen, I'd kind of like to see a third option happen: That Harrison Ford play the role in 1 or 2 more movies but he plays it in an age appropriate way. i.e.- Indiana Jones acts like the professor he is and master-minds amazing adventures in a cerebral way from his book-lined study at a suitably ivy-overgrown university. That he picks out clues like an archaeological Sherlock Holmes, and then sends in his team of grad students to do the stunt work. (Presumably his grad students are sympathetic, quirky, fun, attractive, etc.) I'm not saying that Indy shouldn't appear at the dig site --or ancient lost city-- or that he shouldn't experience danger. Far from it! Only that he should reflect Indiana Jones in his 70s... a scenario where leading a team and using his noggin are more important than whip-work. Also more believable.
My two cents. What's your view?
