I thought they weren't going to let him play Indy anymore for being too old. What happened? Not that I mind since he was made for the role.
I think "Old Indy" is a cool concept, the problem is that if we generously assume that Indy was in his 40's during WW2, and he is at least 60 now, then the movie has to be set AT LEAST, even allowing artistic liscense, in the late 50's....I wonder if it will be?
From the third picture on AICN I would say 50s sounds about right. The son character, if that is the son, is in a classic greaser getup.
Seriously, you gotta love the "age" comments - not to mention the assumption that everyone over 60 is incontinent. How many 65-year-olds look that good? How many 35-year-olds are in as good shape? You guys, sometimes...
From the looks of it, the movie will take place on January 17, 1994 completely underneath the I-5 I-14 Interchange outside of Los Angeles.
I think Ford looks pretty damned good for his age. I bet he'll be as convincing as ever playing Indy.
Am I alone in thinking this? Anywho, third pic shows him discussing the "Cement Pond" scene with the director.
You can still see the pics here. Buddy Ebsen and the Quest for the Cement Pond is the best suggested title I've seen for the flick so far. I'm not overly optimistic that the film will be good, but I'm still gonna be there on opening day.
