: : 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...)

Indeed, and Harrison isn't too old at all. He is still to be cast as Indiana Jones in the fourth movie, as far as I know. (And frankly, nobody can do the part in his way, not even a computer generated version of him.) Go Harrison goo!!!
