I will not mention daddy Indy, because for me harrison ford can still make a great performance, and Speilberg is not a stupid fellow, he know for sure what is doing, and we all will be impresse.......can t wait...

Ya know, having Ray Winstone as his sidekick I suddenly started thinking maybe, just maybe this'll be a relic hunt ala the opening of Raiders of the Lost Arc. I'm starting to get goosebumps....

Hey wait a minute, what happened to Sallah as the sidekick?

This is cool. Ray Winstone is the man. He always plays funny, but really badass characters. He is what we call over here, "a real geeza".

But does this mean John Rys Davies or whatever his name is, isn`t going to be in it? He was kind of Indy`s sidekick in Raiders and Crusade.

I thought if someone had to be designated as Indy's sidekick it would have been Marcus Brody (Denholm Elliot), and he's not around anymore. Maybe this guy's going to fill that role.

WHAT ABOUT SHORT-ROUND!?!?!?! (Little Asian orphan sidekick from IJ: Temple of Doom?......Just kidding, folks. Regardless, Indy needs a sidekick. In a way, I'm glad Shia LeBeauf (that how you spell it?) will not be in Indy 4....I just have a hard time picturing a *"Skreech"-looking character as Indy's lovechild. *Skreech, the bushy-haired, goofy character excellently portrayed by Dustin Diamond in that late 80's/early 90's Saturday morning show, "Save By The Bell"

Maybe Winstone will play Brody's son. I hope Sallah is around for at least a cameo.

ponyboy76 • Mar 28, 2007, 08:07am •
yeah, I could see him playing Brody`s son.

Winstone is an amazing character actor... I loved him in the Proposition... this is good news.

. . . sidekick?

Blech.

Sorry guys. This thing really is not making me excited at all.

Hopefully I will be proven very wrong, I'm all for good adventure films.

I'm waiting to hear Ford broke a hip on set.
