In Reply to: Is Harrison too old to shoot Indy IV as late as 2005? No. Here's why... posted by Rob on August 11, 1999 at 19:46:40:
: Something that occured to me and which I think is quite plausable.
: Perhaps Lucasfilm are gambling on the fact that they (or ILM, I suppose) will have developed the technology in the next few years to fully create a complete Indiana Jones using computers. They could make him any age they wanted!
: My initial reaction to such a thought was "no way!" but considering the pace at which this field is evolving, in a few years we won't be able to tell the difference between animation and the real thing.
: If this is the case, why not put Indy in the prime of his life rathar than risk a dodgy Indy IV with the aged Harrison Ford? (I know this notion will be opposed with the distinction between Harrison Ford and Indiana Jones to some as a very thin line...)

Hi Rob:
George Lucas is on record as saying that the first "human" CGI character won't be seen in his life-time...Whew!!!
Cheers,
