Commander PK Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Ford says he's fit to play Indiana Jones 2 hours, 16 minutes ago http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061020/ap_on_en_mo/people_harrison_ford ROME - Harrison Ford says he feels "fit to continue" to play Indiana Jones despite growing older. Ford, 64, said at the inaugural Rome Film Festival on Friday that he was delighted to team up again with directors Steven Spielberg and George Lucas for the film. Lucas co-wrote and executive produced the earlier films, which Spielberg directed. "We did three films that stay within the same block of time. We need to move on for artistic reasons and obvious physical reasons," Ford said at a news conference. "I feel fit to continue and bring the same physical action." "Indiana Jones 4" has been in development for over a decade, but the production has recently gained momentum. Lucas has said he and Spielberg, who would direct, are working on a script, though no details have been disclosed. Ford played Indiana Jones in 1981's "Raiders of the Lost Ark," 1984's "Temple of Doom" and 1989's "The Last Crusade." In the last film, Jones' father was played by Sean Connery, who Ford said might also appear in the planned fourth feature. "He's part of the emotional fabric of these films. I think there may be an opportunity, I believe that Sean is still willing and I'd be delighted if he joined us," said Ford. Connery, who attended the Rome event last week, has said that no offer had been made. Ford declined to provide details about a shooting schedule or film locations, adding that the directors were not yet finished with the script. "I think it's a real opportunity to make a film as successful ... as the ones we've made before," he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCS Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Agreed on Connery. Those 2 teamed up really well in 3. I look forward to see what Lucas and Speilberg have in store for 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeydont Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Gotta bring back ( I hate those, still hate those guys, Nazis of course.) The ultimate bad guys. Dr Jones I presume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen-like Todd Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 There's a rumor floating around that they want Natalie Portman to play a role in the movie, perhaps as Indy's daugher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Nazis - the plan is to have the movie set during the Cold War to account for Ford's age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Sorry, I'd vote against Connery. I didn't dislike him in 3, but I don't really think he added a whole lot (other than yet another irritant for the long-suffering Indy.) (I really wanted him to become the new Guardian of the Grail. To me, that 'riding into the sunset' scene was celebrating a defeat.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 No Nazis - the plan is to have the movie set during the Cold War to account for Ford's age. And he's a college professor who finds a Russian submarine. With Sean Connery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
