Huh, I searched and there does not seem to be a tread about him. Seems odd.

I just read they are going to make another and set the release for July 10, 2020.

Thoughts?

I need to watch Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, again. I did not mind it, partly because I had low expectations since everyone bagged on it so much.

The last one was garbage. And having Shia LaGoof as his kid was probably the worst casting call I've seen in awhile.

At this point they'd be better off rebooting or going at a different angle / story altogether with someone like Chris Pratt

The direction Hollywood is going nowadays a reboot would probably feature a female protagonist. Ghost Busters no thank you!!!

I am hopeful for one more. Harry's 74, you can start you girl power reboot in 2022 after this last one.

Harrison Ford is far too fucking old to ever play Indiana Jones again. If they made another one with him cast in the role it'd be Indiana Jones and the temple of incontinence. It'd take place in the basement of an Old Folk's home. The only diabolical traps he'd have to figure out is how to unclog the toilet and it'd be a doosie. He's too weak to push a plunger and too senile to work a snake. It's also probably time to take away his pilot's license-

and just to be safe probably take away his driver's license. So, drive safe everyone! Harrison'll be on the road later!

And on another note, when Harrison's Han Solo got gutted by a light saber and fell into infinity I said to myself "Oh, thank God!" He and Carrie Fisher were cringe worthy. Hell, Fisher was so disappointed with her shitty performance as the nostalgic Princess she went and died for real. Now that's dedication I'd say, a once and for all declaration "I'm too old to be playing these parts".
If Harrison keeps flying planes he'll be shuffling off to the great beyond in no time as well. Hopefully in that event he won't take a pack of innocent bystanders with him.

True Story time- Harrison Ford wanted his character Han Solo to die at the end of Return of the Jedi but he was overruled by Lucas because a dead Han Solo would eat into the Han Solo action figure racket. And that's a true fucking story. I bet Harrison was happy as hell that Han Solo finally died and his body got blown up by the death planet or whatever the f*ck it was and has no hope of being recovered to be cloned or some stupid shit.
And on a more positive note, the Han Solo action figure racket can ratchet back up with a brand new Han Solo coming out in 2018. With a new actor playing Han and telling the story no one knew that wanted to know as to how Han became a smuggler.

I'm willing to bet that Harrison Ford has enough integrity and sense left that if someone came to him and said "We want you to play Indiana Jones again" that Harrison would laugh in their face and tell them to go f*ck themselves. Then he'd go and get into his ultralite and promptly crash and splatter his own brains out because the meek will inherit the Earth. True wisdom for Bible thumpers, skydivers and senile pilots alike.

Of course Harry is in this one.

Carrie finished her parts in the next episode of Star Wars too. So we get one more with General Oretega.

I think Harrison Ford could be Indiana again. He'd be an older professor, and no longer involved in the physical stuff, but he could still do the cerebral part of the quest and have some young sidekick do the physical stuff.

I'm thinking something along the lines of Rooster Cogburn, but that's not exactly it, either.

As much as I liked him in the first three and in Star Wars, HF is just too old these days to make a believable protagonist in an Indy type action movie. Relegate him to world wise father figure and let Chris Pratt take the reins as a recasting of Shia Lebouf's character...in fact. Forget about the Crystal Skull version of Indy's son.

Female reboot? No thanks. if you really want something similar, try making a Tomb Raider movie that doesn't stink.

yeah harrison in the last star wars (not the last one, but the last one i saw) was super-old ... he didn't even run in his action scenes, he just walked at a brisk pace

I like Duk's idea of harrison doing all the cerebral stuff, but how much of an action film do you really wanna see set in a lecture hall at the university of chicago

I thought he did a pretty good job in episode VII(?). he's certainly aging well. apparently he is/was a MASSIVE pothead. I remember reading afunny story about him running out of rolling papers and using a soup pot instead. what a burnout...

yes. it was ok when sean conery played that role, the only problem is that harrison is probably older than sean at that time.
but yeah... didn't bother to watch the last one as everybody said it was propper shit. It was one of my great childhood trilogie movies (along with star wars and back to the future). I'd rather stay with those memories of the franchise.

By the way, wanna bet hollywood will come up with some back to the future reboots?

Please no BttF reboot. Those movies are perfectly self contained. Unless it's the terminator meets BttF How it Should End spinoff.

@Riskllama: I thought everyone had at least seen the original.

You could call them Back to Back to the Future.
And then when you'd made all three you could show them all together in a back to back Back to Back watchathon.

For your sake, I'm gonna pretend you're one of those people who says 'The reboots don't count, we're pretending it doesn't exist, the last Indiana Jones movie was Raiders of the Lost Ark'

Like Star Wars nerds do with the prequels.
