Damn! Indy loses his old man!

Sean Connery refused to make the new Indy movie! And the you know what the reason is? HE'S RETIRED FROM ACTING!!! WTF?!? What kind of reason is that?! He said retirement "is just too damned much fun". What's with this man? Hey, we're talking about one of the greatest adventure on film of all times!

What's going to happen now? Another 2 years to re-write the story? A change of actor? That would be ridiculous! Please, let's sign a petition to have Connery make the movie! Or let's hope George and Steven will find a DECENT solution!

Are they sure he's not going to do it? Maybe he can still change his mind

Indiana Jones is a kind of movie that was magic in the time it came out, nowadays a modern version will only disappoint me. It can never recapture the feeling of watching The temple of doom in a theatre on some birthday party with friends from school. Allthough it might offer the same experience to young kids nowadays...

I'm not sure. It seems more a movie that will be of some appeal to nostalgics than to new generations. It won't have the same impact it had back in the 80's, when movies like this were still sort of "extraordinary" experiences. At least, I doubt it will. Now we have movies that are supposed to be like this several times each year. And everything moves faster. It's become difficult for a viewer to repeat the kind of experience you were talking about. I could be wrong, but I think I will end being like the new Star Wars for younger people.With the difference Star Wars had a new trilogy, while this will be a single movie. If it fails, there's no other chances with new sequels.

Hey, Sean Connery's an old dude. Let the man retire and do his thing. I think he has every right.

The picture of Indy on the set made me very happy. It pressed the inner-child joy button. He doesn't look much older than 1989!

But it would have been better for him to end a stellar career with a great cult movie! At least, i think!

That's what I thought! It's an Indiana Jones movie we are talking about, not something else! It's a trademark that's history in movies, and it will also be the last Indy movie!
