George Lucas, in an effort to spoil, kill and rape everything special he brought into this world long ago, let this chestnut go during the Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull press conference at Cannes:

Lucas had a lot to say about the new “Indy” and its future.

“I haven’t even told Steven or Harrison this,” he said. “But I have an idea to make Shia [LeBeouf] the lead character next time and have Harrison [Ford] come back like Sean Connery did in the last movie. I can see it working out.

“And it’s not like Harrison is even old. I mean, he’s 65 and he did everything in this movie. The old chemistry is there, and it’s not like he’s an old man. He’s incredibly agile; he looks even better than he did 20 years ago, if you ask me.”
