I agree about the worries of him playing an English journalist though, I'd prefer to see a British actor in that role. Perhaps he won't be playing the lead?
This movie has great potential though, it could be magnificant, I'm really looking forward to it now. Of course it can only happen now because George Lucas has slammed the brakes on Indiana Jones IV after he rejected the script.
LOL! Lucas probably rejected the script because it didn't have any cute fuzzy aliens with stupid-sounding accents.
And Spielberg had replaced Indiana Jones' whip and pistol with a flyswatter and a walkie-talkie.
