According to ShowbizSpy Harrison Ford wants the next(5th) Indiana Jones movie to be his last. That's not exactly surprising of course, given that nobody really believed the 68 year old star would be back for more after Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull, but apparently he doesn't want Indy to simply ride off into the sunset never to be seen again, he wants him cold asd stiff!..
“Harrison thinks it would be good for Indy to die and pass on his hat to his son in the next one,” reveals an insider.
“George especially is resisting the notion but Steven is considering it. Funnily enough Harrison wanted the same for Han Solo in the final Star Wars but George put an end to it. This time he doesn’t have all the say though.”
George and Stephen of course being Lucas and Spielberg. I have to say, I don't think this would be a bad idea. I love Indy movies(I didn't even hate the last one..too much) and the character but all things must come to an end. As much as I don't relish the idea of Shia Labouf stepping into Indy's hat I think killing Jones off would just add a bit of weight to a franchise that is sorely crying out for it after the last movie resembled a Loony Tunes cartoon more than a suspenseful action adventure. Sure it'l be hard to say goodbye to Ford and Indy, but if its going to be his last movie anyway does it really make that much difference? What do you think?
Update: The Huffington post claims that Ford's reps contacted and said that this report by Showbizspy was completely false. So there you go, no need to mourn ol Indy just yet!
