64-year-old Harrison Ford says that he feels "fit to continue" on in the role he made famous, talking about the possible fourth Indiana Jones movie today at the Rome Film Festival.
The Associated Press reports that Ford says that he was "delighted" to team up with Indy conspirators George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, saying that while the first three Indy films all fell within the same approximate time period, that the new film would need to be set about, oh, I'd say 70 years in the future. "We need to move on for artistic reasons and obvious physical reasons," Ford said at the news conference. "I feel fit to continue and bring the same physical action."
Reality check... Harrison honey, can you even move the right side of your face anymore? As much as I love the Indiana Jones movies, I'm not sure anyone is ready to see Indy feebly gumming his oatmeal while counting out his prescriptions in one hand and beating off Nazis with his cane in the other.
Sensing perhaps, the skeptics among us, he even dangled Indy's father, Sean Connery, in our faces, adding that "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."
Keep in mind, no details on the actual movie have been presented, and despite the fact that George and Steven have been working on a script for what seems like almost a decade now, there is still no script, and no set date, or anything else in this crazy pipe dream.
Maybe it's time to let this one go, and move on.
