At this point, I’m considering any casting news I hear about Indiana Jones 4 to be solidly in the “rumor” category, but the word that Sir Sean is considering reprising his role as Henry, Sr., is both unsurprising and — if it’s true and if he agrees to do it — welcome news indeed. His attachment to the project will mean that (a) my chances of liking Indy 4 will go up by a factor of 12, and (b) The League of not-so-Extraordinary Gentlemen — pardon me while I spit the bad taste from my mouth — will no longer be the last feature film on the CV of one of my favorite actors. So let’s keep our fingers crossed, shall we?
Oh, and in related news, British scientists have determined that Connery is, in fact, the real James Bond. Duh.
