DISQUS

i thought they were thinking of using LeBouf for the job?

Patrick · 1 year ago

Kieffer Sutherland would be a great Indy

Patrick · 1 year ago

Kiefer sorry.

The only way they'd use Lebeouf is if he:
1) Does Mutt Williams and the Curse of the Red Scare or
2) Decides to call himself "Indiana", and then it's still a different character altogether.

call me crazy but if they were to make more Indy movies then they should get Sean Patrick Flannery only because he was young Indy on TV, and if they turned some of his earlier adventures into movies then it would cool, I however can see Nathan Fillion doing Indy so whoever picked him good idea.

Chuck Norris

sry had to use the cliche`

Robert Fure · 1 year ago

Ewan McGregor is too girlish. You should be ashamed for saying Will Smith, as if Indiana ever says "Awww Hellll Nawwwwss" in a film, there will be a murder epidemic.

I think Sam Neil would make a good Indy if he's up for it. Although I suppose he is only 5 years younger.

Indy is Harrison Ford and nobody can fill his fedora-period. People who speculate to this fact, try remembering a little movie called the Phantom Menace...we already see that Lucus is a $grubbing individual and with the botch job done on Transformers Stevie boy's not too far behind his partner-in-crime. I for one am tired of Hollywood being stale-(which it has been for years)-& turning out more Bewitched/Superman Returns/Spider-Man 3 (when it comes to digging into unoriginal ideas) movies versus the Batman Begins/Sin City's of the movie world. So, I just wish they'd stop rehashing old series & trying to use nostalga and established franchises to bilking the movie watching public out of our money. Nuff said.

Those who disagree with my above comment should be bullwhipped just before having their face melt/heart pulled out/or getting turned to dust. There really is no need to speculate. Once Harrison is done w/playing Indy, that should be that. If anything, try doing a spin-off movie but don't put a jerk in a fedora, give him a bullwhip, machete, & revolver & then slap property of Dr. H. Jones all over everything. I'm tired of being spoken down to by mass media & major corporations into accepting their rainy days as sunshine, (e.g-"Diamond Shreddies" WTF?!?!?!?!?!?! How stupid are people?). Just can the series, enjoy your residual incomes Mr. Lucas & Mr. Spielberg and ride off into that sweet sunset like Indy did the last time we saw him don that fedora.

Ok...now I'm done.

Gary Busey as Indy and the bad guy ... at the same time

Josh · 1 year ago

You know, Nathan Fillion isn't a bad pick. I never would have thought of him, myself, but I can kinda see it.

And Kierfer? No way.

James · 1 year ago

I can agree with Jason above and his recommendation of Sean Patrick Flannery--you have an actor who totally pulled off being young INDY and who is already accepted by the fans. Granted, he is now 43 so the time is limited (especially if they take too long between shots).

James · 1 year ago

One more thought...how about Joe Flanigan?

jack2jack · 1 year ago

Clive Owen definately, or that Jason Strathen from "Transporter". They are both Hot, Rugged, A Man's Man. Draws the Men and the Ladies.

Hmm, missed it when it was a current thread, but still gotta get my 2 cents in. ;-) 1st of all, I'd like to say that the character Indiana Jones has already been played by several different actors at various ages (even more than credited in Young Indy), and they all worked. 2nd I agree 100% with the deduction referring to the James Bond style continuation of the Indy franchise with new younger actors, there's way too many stories that can be told, to lock in the one-and-only (but 66+ year old) Harrison Ford. 3rd, and I kid you not, when I first saw Nathan Fillion in Serenity, I thought, "now that's the guy who needs to be the new Indiana Jones!" That movie was my introduction to Firefly, and since then I have watched every episode (hulu.com), and though I would love to see Firefly revised, not a single episode was watched that I didn't think of Nathan Fillion as a perfect potential Indiana Jones player. And lastly, having seen Crystal Skull, the franchise would be much better off with either A) a new Indy actor, B) a new Mutt Jones spin-off franchise, or C) both (my personal favorite). Not because I have anything against Ford, but because I want to see more Raiders of the Lost Ark era Indy adventures. Harrison can always reprise the role in Mutt Jones spin-off movies (post 1957 era).

waldo · 1 year ago

I guess I did get a bit off-topic, so here's the short version: Who else could wear that fedora? In my opinion, no other actor today has what it takes to portray Indy than Harrison Ford and Nathan Fillion for their respective ages. Although, I would not be opposed to a tried and true Sean Patrick Flannery, if he's in the right shape for it (haven't seen him for years), for additional movies in his respective age range. I'd also like to see the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles revised, either in a new series, or some made-for-t.v. movies (with a new casts, of course, and without the educational element).

I'm hating the idea of LeBeouf as the next "Indy". All the while I was watching the movie I was whispering under my breath, "please don't let it be Mutt Jones and the Temple of Doom" or whatever the next title will be. He just doesn't have that macho charisma thing going on for me. And what is he? Fourteen? Sean Patrick Flannery I'm loving. Just took a peek at imdb and he sure looks to be in shape. And he does have a macho look. They could also utilize clips of Young Indy in the new Indys. Gotta to get on the stick, though. Unless they're going to wait another 20 years to make the next one. Then Shia would be 34. jk His face just isn't seasoned enough to be a swashbuckler. My vote: SPF

Clive Owen is such a great actor!!! I just don't think he'd hit as Indy (although he'd look AMAZING in the outfit). His American accent isn't the greatest (sorry Clive - I do love you, I swear) and I'm thankful for that! I LOVE his natural accent.

Hugh Jackman I could maybe see? Sean Patrick Flannery or River Phoenix were the only ones who even came remotely close. NO ONE will ever replace Harrison Ford as Indy. NO ONE.

i don't like replacing the classic jones. making it a franchise like james bond is silly. but i guess this is the sentiment of an old timer like myself. i sort of like the idea of having indiana jones belonging to a generation. it's all about superheroes nowadays.
