As of 11:29 CST here in Missouri, Nathan has 42% and Harrison has 43% of the vote.

And, Kayna, I agree about the shirtless thing.

I agree Harrison Ford is Indiana Jones. Too bad they waited a flipping 17 years before getting around to doing another film.

Since they have taken this long, Ford is now several years older than Sean Connery was during the shooting of "The Last Crusade" in which he played Indy's father.

As far as Nathan being too young, he just turned 35 making him only a couple years younger than Ford was(37-38)while making "The Raiders of the Lost Ark" which was released in 1981.

I watched the "Younger Years" series, I bought the novels and either way, I'll go see this movie hoping-against-hope that this franchise doesn't get screwed up too.

Well...as of 3:44 EST, it's neck and neck at 43%!

And while I have always enjoyed Harrison Ford as Indy, I think it's time the fedora and whip are passed along.

However, I gots me a compromise idea: Indy follows Cortez's or whomever's footsteps to find the Fountain of Youth, finds it, gets accidently dunked in it for a few seconds and out can come Nathan....kinda cheesy, but with the right polish job, it could work;)

Nathan as Indiana Jones gets my money, Harrison as Indy doesn't even get a rental. Too old, too stale...did I already say "Too old?"

AM I NOT MERCIFUL?!?!?!?

I voted Harisson Ford. I grew up watching Indy, I can honestly not think of anyone else doing it.

As long as they write Indy's age into the film, it will be fine. He will be able to pass as an Indy in his 50's, I highly doubt they will be going for an ultra young Indy.

I wish Nathan all the sucess in his career, but Indy is a role I do not want to see him in. Can you imagine the critism this role would bring? The Malcolm Reynolds/Han Solo comparisons were bad enough in Firefly/Serenity.

I'm sorry, but Ford owns this role.

Hmm now this really is a hard one, on the one hand you have the oh so *swoon* lovely nathan, who we all know if given the chance would do a damn shinny job. but on the other harrison ford IS indy.

I guess i have to go with the nathan would work as a young indy or 'son of indy' I think harrison has nailed the original too much to be replaced.

well just my two cents.

oh hey i heard some one was giving out coats round here, i been around a little while, guess i should get mine. this brown blanket i been wearing around the towns is begining to get a little thin.

"Why did you leave?".... "Why didn't you ask me not too?"

FYI it was Ponce de Lyon who searched for the Fountain of Youth. Cortez was the one responsible for pretty much wiping out the Aztec Empire.

Personally, I always saw Mal as being more like Butch Cassidy (at least how he was portrayed by Paul Newman).
