Ford has Spielberg whipped


From moviesonline, "This is actually quite funny. According to InEntertainment Harrison Ford is ready to walk from Indy 4 because he wont be allowed to use a real whip in the making of the movie due to "healthy and safety rules". Harrison apparently REFUSES to use a fake whip. Does he make the same complaints when he cant use a real M4 Carbine when hes shooting at his co-stars? Geroge Lucas will begin shooting in June. Harrison Ford will return to reprise his role as Indiana Jones in the new Indiana Jones 4 film. George Lucas is hoping that he can tempt actor Sean Connery into reprising his role of Henry Jones in the next Indiana Jones adventure. Sean Connery has recently announced his retirement from acting, so this confrontation might prove interesting. Apparently Lucas is writing Sean Connery into the script "whether he wants to do it or not".

Boy that sounds brilliant. And in the case he still won't take the role they can always cast Hayden Christensen to replace him. And that would be just the tip of the money-making ice-berg. Just imagine the possibilities of "Indiana Jones: Special Edition" where Sean Connery in "The Last Crusade" is digitally masked over by Christensen's visage.
Yeah. Sarcasm is fun.

Hopefully they will write Henry Jones back out of the script in the likelyhood that Connery still doesn't take them up on the offer. He is the only one who can play the role. Period. You can replace Superman, Batman, Inspector Clouseau, etc. But leave Henry Jones as he is. I'm looking foward to the upcoming Indiana Jones, but a lot of the recent news surrounding it has bothered me to some degree. Right now I've seen Lucas throwing around a lot of generalized statements about the quality of the script but has yet to show us anything concrete."

My dad told me he had a bullwhip once and the first day he was playing with it, it somehow came back and wrapped so tightly around his neck it had to be cut off.

It's his birthday today, I'll have to ask him about that one. Sounds like a story you tell when you don't want to buy your kid a whip.

That's funny, I'd like to hear his side of the story.

Nice picture! It looks so lame but it meant so much to finally get to the ark!
