Have they ever said who his mother in the film is supposed to be? Marion or someone that we have never heard of before :-?

I think he'll make a fine Jones boy. Even in the screen cap of him and Megan Fox from the Transformers movie, he looks a little Indiana to me.

I would imagine that's what they would do. Introducing a new character to the franchise can only grow the brand really.

He needs someone to break him out of the old folks home. I can see the title now, "Indiana Jones and the Shady Pines of Doom"! Sure fire hit.

Hahahaha, Shady Pines. That's hilarious. I could see the irony of him being wipped over and over just to get him to make a hand made purse.

Interesting stuff. I've heard that another Indiana Jones movie was in the talks but I wasn't sure if it was going to get off the ground.

Is it confirmed that Harrison Ford will play Indiana? I just checked out IMDb. I wasn't sure how to believe:
