Well apparently Harrison is going to continue as Indy and Stallone as Rocky and Rambo(seems he's in talks to do another of each). So while these seasoned vets are still at their prime the characters belong to them, and all is right with the cinematic world. Maybe someday....(Though I still say Nathan would make a sexy Indy, especially if it's when he's older...)

Yes please, he could do Indiana Jones movies in between Serenity sequels.
That I could handle.

Could definately see Nathan as Indy or an Indy type of character.

I've mentioned this before but the way he takes out Dobson in the pilot is so like Indy and the guy with the sword.

Nathan has the combination of action hero, awesome comic timiing and the ability to be a romantic lead all at once.

I'm not one to judge purely based on age, for example I think Sean Connery might just look better older than he did in the original Bond movies, and while Harrison Ford has aged badly per say, I just don't think he's Indy material anymore. At least not the Indy in the first movies. I think the Indiana Jones series, like the Bond series, could continue well with different lead men. Nathan Fillion would be wonderful in this role. The fact that the man has fun at his job comes across on screen and I don't think it gets much more fun than Indiana Jones.

While I can see it as being a good fit in theory, reality is I can't see Indiana Jones himself as being anyone other than Harrison Ford.

He might be old(er), but I'll wager he can still get the job done. It's all down to how well George Lucas writes the damn thing. I mean, look what he did with the Star Wars prequels - talk about a botch job!

It could work if the writing was done well, but quite frankly, and please don't get mad, I don't think the IJ movies have ever been about good writing. Yes, they were entertaining, but they were also cheesy and unrealistic. It was humor, and sex appeal that really carried those movies. I'm not saying that Harrison Ford can't do it, it's just that I can see Nathon Fillion as his succesor in the role. I mean I doubt it will happen, but I'm of the female species, and I think any straight female thinking of Nathan as Indiana Jones gets a little tingly.

Much as I think you shouldn't touch the classics (cause if South Park did an episode about it, it must be truth), I could definitely see Nathan as Indy. In the Blue Sun Room, someone once posted a photoshop of Nathan's head on Han Solo's body, and I got to say, at first glance, it looked pretty good. He's just about the right age for the part.

Random question: What does Mal mumble (in Chinese) after Dong Luh Mah at the end of the opening oner of Serenity? He's talking to Simon, say's Dong Luh Mah, turns and keeps talking!

Thank you *takes a bow*

And forget my bunk. I'll be in Mal's. Or should I say Indiana's?

And while my thoughts are on Harrison Ford does anybody think a Firefly/Original Star Wars crossover would be hilarious? Two men in love with women who drive them crazy, two women trying to deny they've fallen in love with smugglers? Kaylee trying to braid Chewbacca's hair?
