Well obviously Harrison Ford will just be in the movie briefly for it’s **Indiana Jones and the Fountain of Youth!** Indy will de-age and live out the rest of the movie as a CGI younger Harrison Ford. That, or **Indiana Jones and the JesusPhone!** ---

[QUOTE=carnivorousplant] I thought it may be Jar-Jar, but couldn’t see the significance of the name. Thanks. [/QUOTE] Oh Lucas assures you, Floppy Nudwacker is not in the least derivative of Jar-Jar… Floppy will be\* much, much better.\* Better in that special, magical Lucas way that only improves as time goes by. Jar-Jar was a mere taste. Floppy will be the full-course buffet. You see, back when **Raiders of the Lost Ark** was first filmed, George was unable to realize the concept as fully as he would have liked. Indiana Jones, of course, was originally concieved as half of a comedy duo in the classic mold-- the “straight man,” if you will. Unfortunately, the technology of the time was incapable of achieving the breathtakingly intricate slapstick humor that George had envisioned. Under pressure from his financial backers, Lucas was eventually forced to move forward with a hopelessly truncated version of his original project. _George remembers this all very clearly._ But now, with modern state-of-the-art cinematographic tools at his command, Lucas is at last able to blend the physical humor of Jim Carrey, the comic timing of Michael Richards, and the vocal talents of Charles Fleischer into one seamless package. And that package is Floppy Nudwacker. Unveiled at last, Floppy and his wacky antics (especially his adorable catchphrase, “Oh noesy-woes!”) will win audience’s hearts in exactly the same way that Harrison Ford did, only twice as much by virtue of CGI enhancement. Once, there was Laurel and Hardy; Abbott and Costello; Hope and Crosby. Today, there is… _Floppy and the Prof!_ And we can look forward to tomorrow, when \*\*Raiders of the Lost Ark \*\* is re-released under the originally intended title: **Episode VI: Don’t Fart Now, Floppy!** ---

[/QUOTE] That last photo probably caught him in the process of recovering from whatever life-sucking one-liner his little sidekick pal just delivered. I guess the leather jacket/T-shirt combo signifies that Shia LaBoeuf is supposed to be a 1950’s-era punk rebel hoodlum type. That’d be stellar casting. He definitely has that edgy, dangerous James Dean/Marlon Brando quality about him. In any case, I suppose it’s inevitable that his character will be the designated Fountain O’ Wisecracks, so they’d better be some good ones. Personally I’m expecting Short Round times three. ---

[QUOTE=An Arky] Not so much referring to Ford, although geriatric action heroes are just plain ridiculous. It’s more about the fact that just about any movie that has numerous sequels is pretty much beating a dead horse and they can’t be all that particular about the artistic merit, not that that matters to the [del]knuckle-draggers [/del] general public. Reminds me of the bajillion Police Academy sequels. [/QUOTE] I think you’ve got the wrong idea. There haven’t been “umpteen” IJ movies–only three. And it’s been almost 20 years since the last one was made. This isn’t a case of 'just yet another meaningless sequel in an endless series of meaningless sequels" like you’re thinking. -FrL- [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/first-pic-of-harrison-ford-from-indy-iv/409257.md?page=4) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/first-pic-of-harrison-ford-from-indy-iv/409257.md?page=6)
