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.
