Absolutely agreed - unless for series you don't just mean separate series made at different times and set before or after each other (TOS, TNG, Enterprise, whatever), but also separate episodes that were produced in some order in a set time window then aired out of order, creating unintended continuity hitches (TOS second pilot airing as s1e3, crew changing around back and forth in airing order, whatever).

Quintus 5,396 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 No one loves mr angry pointy finger more than I do, but I don't think he'd even be suitable enough anymore to provide Indy's voiceover for an animated feature or a deep-faked "younger" version of himself. He sounds every bit the 90 year old these days. Gruesome Son of a Bitch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,482 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Well, he was probably drunk. He always sounded like a significantly older grump outside of the movies. In TFA, he still sounded like his 80s movie self at points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 13,540 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I'm sure it's just unflattering lighting too... he looked fine a year ago at the COTW premiere. Well, no getting around it for Mangold. Might as well embrace the age factor. If Eastwood can play a badass in his 70s and 80s, no reason Ford can't.

Jay 33,670 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Ian McKellen was 60, then 61 when LOTR was filmed from October 99 to December 2000 Harrison Ford was 64, then 65 when Indiana Jones 4 was filmed in the summer of 2007 (though he was playing a 58 year old Indy) Ian McKellen was 72, then 73, then 74 as The Hobbit was filmed from March 2011 to July 2012 John Williams was 76 when the score to Crystal Skull was recorded in 2008. Harrison Ford will be 78 and turn 79 while filming Indiana Jones 5 this summer John Williams will be 90 when Indiana Jones 5's score is recorded in 2022.

Bellosh 2,686 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I just can't wrap my head around a character who will most likely be over the age of 60 (again, Indy...not Ford----Indy's 58 in KOTCS) and then Ford who WILL be 80 next July doing the action segments that made the original 3 so good. I just can't wrap my head around it. Does Indy really take a backseat for most of the action in this film to make it believable?!
