The value of Harrison Ford's voice in Indy games

  Friday, November 12, 2004 - Gilles V
 

LucasArts president Jim Ward recently talked with The Hollywood Reporter about the company's future in interactive entertainment. During the conversation, Hollywood Reporter asked an interesting Indy question:

THR: You have also mentioned revitalizing the Indiana Jones intellectual property. Would an Indiana Jones game feature Harrison Ford's voice and likeness?

Jim Ward: We're currently evaluating the value that bringing Hollywood likenesses and voices to the table would bring to Indiana Jones. I'm not convinced that the wholesale studio approach that Electronic Arts undertakes with its James Bond and other Hollywood-licensed games is the way to go. ... With Star Wars and Indiana Jones, people identify with these brands. It might make sense to work with one or two actors from a property on the game front, but we'll see. Certainly, with Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford is Indiana Jones. So something like that might make sense.
