Wow! Been 40 days ( and 40 nights) since anyone mentioned Lens Flares.
And, Lo, The Harrison did fall from the Heavens
He worked the Rod, Flaps and Stick
But to no Avail
For(!) the Flared of the JJ Lens did
Blind Him
And, Verily, he Lied in the Sand
With Penalty, 145 Cubits out.
Air Force Minus One
I don't care what they say happened. I'm assuming it was just like this

I'm glad Mr. Ford is okay.
How is this guy too old to play Indy again?
Although if he keeps hurting himself, he'll be incapable of doing an action film again

Exactly my thought! It is inevitable that some day some else will play Indiana Jones. But as long as he is willing and believable in the role, let him do it again.
Stallone's just barely believable as Rambo at this point, and that's cause of all the relentless gym time and HGH he's been guzzling over the decades (plus hair dye). Ford's enjoyed none of those things.
The only way Ford's credibly putting the hat back on again at this point is as a true 'last hurrah' set in the late 1960's/early 1970's, with Indy dying of cancer or something and wanting to go out in a blaze on glory on one last adventure (with maybe a pair of familiar-looking film students from USC tagging along to document). Think John Wayne in The Shootist.
It's not the mileage, it's the altitude.
The one thing the Crystal Skull did right was to try to set up a successor for Indiana Jones. A movie set in the early seventies would perfectly match Ford's current age with Indy's fictional age. Something along the line of a classic seventies disaster flick would work, but you would need a younger Indy to really be the star of the film in order for it to work--somebody with Ford's charisma--not Shia.
But Indy isn't a war machine like Rambo either. He's just a normal looking bloke, who wears a satchel & Fedora, for god sake. He doesn't slaughter villages of soldiers. He teaches at a university, & the story ages with him. You set it in the 60's. You write a decent script this time, work in John Rhys-Davies, because... that would be awesome, put a tan on the guy & some stubble, and a little hair dye
Him in the old days... Him in Crystal Skull... Him now
I don't see the big deal. Dude's got one more in him, if for no other reason than to drown out the memory of the last one
It's not the actor, it's the script.
I'd love to see at least one more Indy film set in the 60s or 70s. There was a rumor that Ford agreed to appear in SW7 on condition that another Indy film be produced-- was there nothing to that?
