I'm with ya Carl. I want Ford for 1-2 more but I really think Shia can do this type of film too. The character has some serious potential especially if they have him drop the greaser thing just a touch as the years go on.
Indy should live on a la James Bond... The character is fantastic! He should be forever set in the thirties and forties. Bring on a new actor, Ford was great, but it is time to pass the torch. And not to Indy's son... it would be like having Bond's son be a 00 agent. Just stupid.
Let another actor interpret the character. There were those that said there would be no other actor to play Bond other than Connery. To some extent they were right. Brosnan came close to the original, Craig hit it out of the park and I feel surpassed Connery. An amazing film and a new start for the franchise.
Start screaming and whining ... NOW!
