If they keep giving out contracts for Indiana Jones 4, we might even have to start believing they are going to make this movie.
Ray Winstone (The Departed, upcoming Beowulf) has signed on for a major role in Paramount Pictures’ Indiana Jones 4, says The Hollywood Reporter.
Although the film’s plot is being closely guarded, the trade says Winstone will play star Harrison Ford’s sidekick.
Sidekick? Could he be Indy’s physiotherapist? Nurse? Ok I am figuring now they are going to make this movie, so I had to make a “Indy is old” gag. It’s all we have left. Sue me.
The role of Indy’s closest aides are something that become a staple of the franchise and quite neccessary. One of the amazing things about Indiana is that despite the grand hero that he is, he always comes through with the help of his friends. Bringing Winstone along brings a solid member to his team of adventurers.
What type of character do you see Winstone playing?
