Here’s something I’ve been meaning to put up for a few days, another snapshot from the set of Indiana Jones IV:

I like this shot a lot. I think Indy looks much more “old mannish” here than he did in the one of him in his “work clothes” — in fact, I think his suit looks a lot like the one that Connery wore as Henry, Sr., in Last Crusade, perhaps deliberately so — but there’s a great period feel here, and it’s a neat bike. I still haven’t heard any confirmation that Shia LaBeouf is playing Indy’s son, but I see a look of both Harrison Ford and Karen Allen in his features, so I feel comfortable in assuming that’s who he’s supposed to be. I suppose it could be a case that Indy thinks this might be his son, only to learn otherwise at the end, but I have a feeling we’re looking at a Kirk-and-David-Marcus scenario here. And the rumor that John Hurt is playing Abner Ravenwood — Marion’s father, and possibly-Indy-Jr.’s-grandfather — only adds to my suspicions. We’ll see, I suppose. I hate to admit it because I was so opposed the idea of doing another Indy flick, but I’m really starting to get enthused about this…
