Yes, the Indy 5 rumor mill is running once again and this time, it suggests that the ever sleepy looking vampire "Robert Pattinson" is up for the role.

And almost as quickly as the rumor was thrown out there, it was retracted.... though they included alternate suggestions in the story.

It's still my position that these rumors are being floated to chop away at the idea that only Harrison Ford should play Indy on screen. Every time they bring up another name, it takes the edge off his replacement in a younger form. The inevitable next Indy movie will most likely begin during his younger years (after the Young Indy Chronicles and before TOD in the timeline). That makes the most sense for re-birthing the franchise without stepping over any "hallowed ground" already unearthed by Ford as Indiana Jones.
Regardless of who they cast and who runs the show, there's a lot of money to be made by Disney and if it's done right, I welcome it.
