Interesting choice....

1 hour ago, Satam said:He is, actually. Ford turns 80 on July 13th 2022, and Indiana Jones 5 is slated to open July 28th. The last Indy movie already made a big deal about his age and did a bunch of the "he's too old" tropes and gags, and that was 13 years ago. What the hell do they do now? Pretend that didn't happen, and it's no big deal now? Lean into it even harder, because he'll be 79 when filming starts?Also, I think there's a difference huge between engaging in discrimination against older people in real life scenarios and suggesting that the advanced age of actors might stretch the credibility of the unnecessary action-adventure movie sequels in which they'll be starring, stunt doubles or no. If you don't, that's your prerogative.
This ^
also I feel like stop trying to milk a once thriving franchise, leave 80 year old Indy out of the action, it just seems to be really grasping at straws here for these film studios, let the franchise rest, it ran it's course, don't subject an 80 year old man to this. Liam neeson is also at least 10 years younger then Ford, 10 years is a big difference when you are in the Twilight years.
bottom line let Indy go.
29 minutes ago, mako said:Neither is Ford, he's only 78. Neeson is 68 and in his latest movie I saw him tackle a guy out of a second story window. That's what stunt-guys are for . . . unless you think it was actually Ford swinging on a whip all those times.
For good reason, we're not allowed to practice racism or sexism. We should probably add ageism to thatlist.

26 minutes ago, Satam said:Liam Neeson isn't going to be 80 years old when his next movie opens. I also don't think anybody expects to see him swing on a whip. I also stopped watching his action movies a while ago. Not because he's too old, but because the premise behind the movies themselves just got tired. But, sure, he's probably too old for his movies, too.

Well, another one bites the dust.
Seems like Kennedy has set out to single handedly destroy Harrison Ford's legacy in any and all iconic movie roles he's had. I'd feel bad for him, but he seems to be all onboard for it as well. Then again, he might be at that point in life where he just doesn't care anymore and is just in it for a money grab.
They'll probably kill of Indy, make Waller-Bridge's character the new Indy, but of course she won't use his name, she'll be better than Indy, and she'll make her own way. And then that franchise will die on the vine cuz no one is going watch this movie, and all the true Indiana Jones fans are going to turn away.

If you really wanted to get my attention...
Indian Jones VS Tomb Raider Movie concept....
That would get it for sure ;^)
Nah, I think they've screwed over enough franchises with hackneyed team-ups. Just give me a good Indiana Jones. Leave the crossovers to the fan-fic writers.
