The next Indiana Jones actor?

[AE35Unit]

You know I was thinking. If the series were to become an ongoing thing like James Bond who would you like to see as Indy in the future? Hugh Jackman? Tom Jane? Or how about Jason Connery?

 

[biodroid]

Tom Jane would be good, what about Matthew McConnaghey oops sorry he only seems to do chic flicks now. Well you never know he might actually grow a pair and begin to do some more Dirk Pitt movies

Hmmm the name rings a bell but not sure where from! BTW I realised where I recognised your avatar from,The Punisher with Tom Jane! Great film!

Matthew McConnaghey is not a good actor. When he first appeared inthe acting scene, he had his charming southern accent, and his wavy blond locks convincing women everywhere that he was an actor to watch, but really, what's he ever done worthwhile. And his brand of charm begins to sound sleazy after a while. No way could he pull off Indy. Blech.

Indy would have to be played by a good actor and a real MAN:

Will Smith would be charming
Brad Pitt kind of obvious
Nathan Fillion also obvious

i think the key to indy is to be pretty but weatherd

Oh i don't think Will Smith is right somehow. Nor Brad Pitt. Has to be an action hero type but not all muscles.

 

[AE35Unit]

How about this guy! His character was a dead ringer in Hidalgo
Viggo Mortensen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[Allegra]

I like Viggo Mortensen but that 'something' about him that I like is totally not Indy. So I vote for Hugh Jackman.

 

[BookStop]

Viggo is the right mix of pretty and rugged, but I always thought he was short for some reason, and, well, his voice is kind of lacking something too. No, he's not right for Indy either.

how about Christian Kane - he was fantastic in Secondhand Lions Christian Kane

or Josh Lucas

or Jon Hamm, he's a good actor, handsome, rugged, although perhaps not sassy enough

[AE35Unit]

Never heard of either of those BS but Christian Kane looks too young. Josh Lucas looks more like it, and the last guy,hmmm James Bond?

 

[BookStop]

Jon Hamm does look Bond-ish doesn't he?

Aaron Eckhart? Aaron Eckhart

Perfect! Even if I've never heard of him

 

[Rodders]

Whether we like it or not, Indy is a ruthless killer when needs be. If there is another one to play him, it will need to be someone with that hard edge to him.

 

[Ross]

Weren't they talking about doing films following his son anyway?

Which would mean Shia Labeouf

 

[Shadow Trooper]

So far I think Viggo has the look but like Bookstop said, not so much the voice!

So far I would go for the Tom Jane choice, for those already mentioned.

What about Nathon Fillion, love the character but I wonder if he's rugged enough(?)

 

[Shadow Trooper]

Sorry,

should have put in a link:

Thats his son? Never even knew he had one! Whats with the foreign name-who's the mum?

 

[BookStop]

Mum is Marion from first movie - his son has his step father's last name I think. And while 'Mutt' is perfectly charming as Indy's son, he's certainly no Indy.

No, I like your idea about re-inventing the origianl Jones with new actor.

 

[AE35Unit]

Yea i don't think Indy should be a young actor. They should continue with the character the age that we're familiar with,like they do with James Bond or the simpson's.

 

[Nesacat]

How about Sam Elliot? I like the idea of Tom Jane as well and I agree that Viggo Mortensen has the looks but feels wrong.

 

[Connavar]

Fillion is perfect choice but he isnt a movie actor but tv show. They would never choose unless he did some great movie soon.

I say Viggo had the right edge,age too. You dont want a 20s or even 30s years old Indy.

Tom Jane,Matthew McConnaghey dont have 1% of the talent,charisma it takes for the role.
Will Smith,Daniel Craig you can forget about. Smith is a box office machine they wouldnt waste him on Indiana Jones who will always sell anyway and Craig is one of the best Bonds so far. They will make many more movies with him.
