www.theraider.net/news/fullstory_indy4.php?id=948
In honor of the Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull DVD & Blu-ray release, Moviefone chats with Ford about playing Dr. Jones after a 20-year layoff, whether he'll be passing the famed fedora to Shia LaBeouf and much more. Here follows an excerpt from their interview:
Moviefone: In all those different iterations of the script, was the character of Mutt always supposed to be your son, or was that something that evolved over time?
Harrison Ford: "No, he was always meant to be my son. It's a reflection of the relationships that we began to explore through Karen [Allen] and through the character that Sean [Connery] played, my father. We found that that brought great pleasure to the audience -- to introduce them to other members of Indiana Jones' family, and to see what forces of personality caused him to be the person he is."
And ComingSoon.net quickly understood exactly why Dr. Jones - and filmmakers Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, not to mention a couple generations of moviegoers - fell for Karen Allen.
An engaging storyteller with a winsome personality, Allen clearly relishes her experiences making 1981's Raiders and its 27-years-later-sequel, and she unearthed some fascinating insight into her journey - and a definite willingness to return for another adventure at Indy's side now that she's truly his "d**n partner." ComingSoon.net's new interview with Karen Allen is a must read!
