The Indiana Jones Cast Expands June 07, 2007 Several stars have thrown their hats into the ring to join Harrison Ford and Shia LaBeouf in Indiana Jones' latest whip-cracking adventure. Next year, when the new Indiana Jones movie opens worldwide on May 22, Indy will share the screen with Cate Blanchett, Ray Winstone and John Hurt. Academy Award® winner Cate Blanchett has established herself as one of the preeminent leading actresses in film today, earning her first Best Actress nomination for her title role in Elizabeth, for which she received a BAFTA and Golden Globe Award. She continued to draw acclaim for significant roles in The Talented Mr. Ripley, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Notes on a Scandal and Babel. In 2005, she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Katherine Hepburn in The Aviator, and this year was named one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World. Cate is currently filming The Curious Case of Benjamin Button costarring Brad Pitt and directed by David Fincher. Known for his layered and nuanced performances of tough guys, Ray Winstone drew international praise for his role as Gal Dove in Jonathan Glazer’s Sexy Beast. His recent screen credits include Martin Scorsese’s The Departed, Antoine Fuqua’s King Arthur, and Anthony Minghella’s Breaking & Entering. Winstone's voice can be heard as Mr. Beaver in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Ray will next be seen in the title role of Beowulf opening November 16, 2007, directed by Robert Zemeckis. Academy Award nominee John Hurt, whose career in film spans more than 40 years, has played memorable roles in movies both big and small. His impressive body of work includes such films as V for Vendetta, Elephant Man, 1984, Midnight Express, Contact, and Alien. On television, he won world-wide acclaim for his role of Caligula in "I, Claudius" and Quentin Crisp in "The Naked Civil Servant." While the man with the hat is back, this time he's not bringing his Dad. Sean Connery, who retired from acting in 2005, said: "I get asked the question so often, I thought it best to make an announcement. I thought long and hard about it and if anything could have pulled me out of retirement it would have been an Indiana Jones film. I love working with Steven and George, and it goes without saying that it is an honor to have Harrison as my son. But in the end, retirement is just too damned much fun. I, do however, have one bit of advice for Junior: Demand that the critters be digital, the cliffs be low, and for goodness sake keep that whip by your side at all times in case you need to escape from the stunt coordinator! This is a remarkable cast, and I can only say, 'Break a leg, everyone.' I'll see you on May 22, 2008, at the theater!"
I would say that this movie is definitely going to suck, but then the new rocky and die hard movies came out. Who knows this might just be enjoyable.
I know age doesnt matter, but some images that came out for the film dont look promising, its like they intentionally made him look old http://justjared.buzznet.com/2007/06/29/shia-labeouf-pompadour/
everybody's so old now, trying to make sequels to all the classics movie lol, seriously though harrison ford would break some bones trying to attempt stunts now lol, but even if sean connery came back, i think this movie would suck. God hollywood has to develop some new ideas for their movies instead of making a whole mess of sequels and stealing plots from other cultures.
lol. Sean Connery, i am always reminded of this when i hear his name - [youtube]Jt2iSUm3Dvg[/youtube] (the volumes jumps a bit for this video) imo, i think it is better that connery doesn't come back for indy 4. truthfully, i don't even know why there should be a indy 4.
Hahaha Yeah every time I hear the name that reminds me of that. Absoulutely hilarious. Anyway, how come they're deciding to make more sequels after all these years.
Its bad that connery dont mak the 4 indy with him the movie will be better and it was long time ago i saw connery making movie.
