Not seen the new one yet but can't help thinking old Harry Ford is looking a wee bit creaky.

If Spielberg does keep the franchise going and the rumours are that he will, do you reckon anyone a younger actor might step up. Shia La Beouf perhaps or Ben Affleck - he was tipped a few years ago



(this weeks film file question, to win two showroom tickets just answer the following, what was the name of tarrantino's b movie film that last year doubled up with robert rodrigues's film? Answers to competition@sheffieldlive.org)

No.

Harrison Ford should hang up his whip and call it a day IMO (although that being said I would be interested in seeing him reprise his role as Han Solo for another Star Wars)

If they MUST carry on the franchise, they should do it with Young Indy, and get some young star in who looks like a younger version of Harry Ford to fill Indy's boots as it were.

I remember when Last Crusade came out, and there were plans to do young Indy films with River Phoenix. However his prompt exit from life put a stop to that, which was a shame (although the TV series of the Young Indy adventures thing was decent enough).

I know Lucas has been mouthing off about continuing the franchise with La Beouf in the lead role, and Ford playing aging Indy advisor role. Not sure I want that to be honest (heck, I'm still not excited about the 4th film as it does seem like it will be the weaker of the franchise. Guess I'll find out for myself tomorrow morning :) )

law of diminishing returns mate - they have gradually got worse, lost ark was great, temple of doom decent, last crusade for me poor)

I think really he should probably call it a day after this one or run the risk or ruining the whole franchise. Think Lucas may have doen this before?!
