: : Brendan Fraser would be good as a new character, such as Indy's son, but there's already two different actors (phoenix and flannery)
: : as younger Indy's, so that age group is pretty well covered.
: : I enjoyed the young Indy t.v. series, but one problem I've always had is Flannery's physical stature. He's a pipsqueak!, although he does a pretty good job. Harrison Ford isn't gigantic, but I can't see him as a 5'6", 155 pound twenty year old. Fraser would fix that problem. The Mummy was really cool.

: The problem with Brendan Fraser is that he can't really act that well. The mummy was O.K., but I don't think he'd pull off Indiana Jones. Now Tom Hanks could, in a weird sort of way, but he's almost as old as Ford. If it's got to be somebody young for "Young Indy" then maybe Matt Damon or Ben Affleck. I think they're both very talented and that last Saturday Night Live was one of the funniest I've seen.
