We have rumours, glorious unconfirmed rumours about Indy 4 casting! Moriarty from AICN received a letter indicating that Jim Broadbent is going to have a role in Indy 4. Below is the letter that was received by Moriarty via AICN:
Hi Moriarty,
You don’t know me, but I thought I would drop you a line to tell you that I heard Jim Broadbent confirm that he is in Indiana Jones IV. He is essentially playing the Denholm Elliott part – not actually Marcus Brody – but the same kind of character in the story.
I haven’t seen this up on the site – but seems pretty brilliant casting to me.
Call Me Irving.
That is all the information we have at this point folks. I know nothing of this Irving charachter so we will wait and see if this news is in fact true. I think most of us hope it is true, Broadbent is a seasoned, decorated and versitile thespian that would be a triumphant addition to any cast.
Unconfirmed sources are the mysterious informants of the internet. Often we get the most juicy gossip treats from strangers that want to share good news, true or not, it is now a normal way to get news on the interweb.
