I wonder if we should just start a list of Harrison Ford articles as there will be many as we get closer and closer to the release of Indy 4. Click here for "Ford's 'Star Wars' fame was light-years away" from the USA Today and see below for an excerpt as he talks about his thoughts on Han Solo:
"He gives "no credit to the culture for embracing (Han) as a hero. He's dumb as a stump! He's certainly got a good heart, but I think he's certainly a much less interesting character than Indiana Jones.
"The breadth of his story utility was never extensive. He was the foil between the other more compelling elements of the film. There's not breadth of character to explore beyond what we got out of him."'
UPDATE: Another Harrison Ford USA Today article right here with a new Indy 4 pic. Thanks to Tom D. and Ryan P. for the heads up. See the exceprt below:
"Many of the plotlines of Crystal Skull are still secret, but Ford says the movie will try to give new perspectives on his globe-trotting, fist-fighting archaeologist. Jones happens to be among Ford's favorite characters, and he has put his own curmudgeonly rogue qualities into him.
"He's a guy who is pretty clear from the beginning," Ford says. "He has not changed so much between films. But we've learned more about him, through various plot devices, such as the introduction of his father. And we'll learn something more about him in this film. I think it's required. If you're going to bring back a character, you'll have to supply the audience with something more and different.
"The adventure is very, very important. But it's interesting to discover a facet of the character that perhaps you hadn't explored before."
One of those things is age, which is apt, considering some wonder whether the actor is getting too up in years to play the action hero.
"I think it's an interesting element to take advantage of," Ford says. "Clearly, it's another challenge that he faces."'
