Nathan would definatly be a better choice for the role in this day and age.
Ford is too old for the role. I cant see him running and jumping around, and knowing there is a stunt double on the screen will spoil the movie.
Is'nt Harrison Ford the same age as Connery was when he appeared as Indy's father in the last movie.

Nathan & Harrison are running neck & neck this morning @ 43% each.
Of course I voted for our Captain.

I just voted and they are still neck 'n neck at 43%.
As for what do I think - well, Nathan of course.
That being said, I too grew up with Ford playing Indy and loved him. At this point though I think he is just too old and he's not plausible as Indy, unless it is an Indy that around Ford's own age. In which case, Nathan could still play indy for the flashback scenes....Hmmmm, i wonder if we could get Adam in the movie with Nathan....

I can't officially condone changing actors in a series, however I can't think of a better Indiana Jones than Nathan if Harrison Ford is too old. I think they have the same comic timing and just "kickass...ness" to pull it off.

No it won't! No it won't!
Oh. I gotta go talk some co-workers into voting.
A for HF fans resenting NF taking Indy's role, that's probably unavoidable. I'm thinking they will some of them become converts pretty quickly though. The rest of them can just join our lobby for "The Return of MAL!", and get Mr. Fillion back on Serenity where he belongs.

Why not this....
Indiana Jones goes on an adventure, starts feeling his age, and decides to have a nephew/godson/etc... (played by Nathan "Sex God" Fillion) come along to help him on his next job.
This would set up all kinds of young bull vs. old bull dynamics...and Indy could also find himself "turning into his dad" at times and so fighting it. This could also be a total chance for the tourch to be passed while still giving Harrison Ford his due.

Had to vote Ford, myself. Much as I dig our good ol' captain, Ford will always be Indy for me. Just like I don't want anyone else to play Mal in the Firefly revival in 20 years.
Besides, they've just announced they have a script they're all happy with. They have also said that this script deals with Indy's age. So that makes Nathan a bit young for the role.
And for those who think it "won't be the same" with a stuny double: you don't think that was really Ford getting dragged under that truck in "Raiders", do you?
