Harrison Ford to Play Indiana Jones Again

Harrison Ford in talks to star in fifth Indiana Jones

Harrison Ford to Star in Fifth 'Indiana Jones' Movie

Is a fifth Indiana Jones movie, starring Harrison Ford, on the horizon?

Please, no.

I love Ford and loved the Indiana Jones franchise... until that last Crystal Skull embarrassment. Maybe it's because Ford is getting older. Maybe it's because the franchise is running out of steam.

Maybe it was Shia LaBeouf.

{Shrugs.}

Whatever the reason, the mixed reviews for Crystal Skull weren't enough to keep the idea of a fifth installment of Indiana Jones down.

Ford will be 70 when they start filming the newest Indy sequel next year and though it's not a done deal, he joked to Extra TV, "I have strong ambition to do it while I'm still alive. I'm available, I'm not cheap, but I'm available!"

Nice.

Steven Spielberg says that George Lucas is writing the story for a fifth Indiana Jones, telling Empire Magazine, "George is working on Indy V. We haven't gone to screenplay, he's working on the story."

What do you think of a fifth Indiana Jones movie? Will you give it a try as long as LaBeouf isn't attached, or has the Indy franchise run out of good ideas?

Is Ford too old to reprise his role?

By the way, Spielberg notes that if you're looking to blame anyone for the absurdity of Indiana Jones avoiding an atom bomb explosion by hanging out in a refrigerator in part four, "Blame me. Don't blame George. That was my silly idea."
