I mean, you've got Jeff Nathanson, writing the script, Lucas, with his great story ideas, Spielberg to keep Lucas calm and keep the film of a good quality, and Ford, who knows his character very well. Those four combined should make for a great script. If they all do their work well and agree on a good script, I think it should do fine. And I know Lucas will insist on at least some CG, but I'm sure Spielberg will keep it to a minimum.
And what's this shit people keep saying about Ford being too old?!? Harrison Ford is NOT too old. I just don't get these morons who expect every single actor to look young and laugh at the idea of an older person in a role. Do you know what Ford said when someone asked him what he would do if Lucas and Spielberg replaced him as Indy? He said, half joking "First off, I won't be replaced as Indy. But if they did, first I'd tell them to go fuck themselves, then I would kill them."

It's not that Harrison is too old, it's just that he's too old to play Indy. He's 63 years old, for cryin' out loud! I have a feeling this movie could be the sequel to "Bubba Ho-tep".
Plus, a lot of you guys seem to be acting like Spielberg will keep Lucas's crappy writing in check. Spielberg hasn't exactly had a great resume these last few years, either. "A.I", "The Terminal", "War of the Worlds"......merely OK. I fell asleep during "Minority Report".
