Harrison Ford on the Indy Series
Almost 20 years separate the 2008 release from the last Indy movie before it, “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,” and those 20 years do show. Still, Harrison Ford would be happy to do another Indy movie if there’s good reason.
According to Larry Carroll, from MTV last week when interviewing Ford for this week’s release of “Extraordinary Measures,” Ford said, “I think it would be interesting to advance the understanding of the character, as we always have had that ambition throughout the series. I think it would be interesting to deepen the relationship between he and his son (Mutt, played by Shia LaBeouf), and play on that relationship…It’s full of opportunity. The series is full of opportunity.”
It is common knowledge that Ford, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg have been kicking around ideas for more Indy. However, as of now, it is clear that any ideas for another movie in the series is still on the drawing board. Ford is optimistic that we will see another one soon enough. “I don’t think I’ll do it in a wheelchair. George (Lucas) is working on an idea, and if it comes to a fruitful stage, all of us are very interested in making another.”
Where would you like to see Indiana Jones next? Do you want to see more of Indy’s married life? Do you want to see his relationship with his son develop further?
