I thought that Mutt looking like Marlon Brando was a deliberate act of the character. Being a smart young man bored by his classes, he copied the attitude and trappings of a colorful larger than life fictional character because he had yet to meet his colorful larger than life father.

IF imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then any future story involving Henry Jones III will show a good, but high strung, student ready for his own adventures. But they have to do something about that name; who will pay to go see “Mutt Jones and the City of Atlantis”?

As for the movies “1941″ and “Raiders of the Lost Ark”, I remember that “1941″ was not only a bomb, but it went over budget and was delivered behind schedule. Spielberg’s career was about to go down the drain; he had to deliver a ‘wow’ film that was under budget and on schedule if he wanted to direct major pictures again. He did that with “Raiders”. It saved his career.

Now that Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher are 30 years older that they were for “Star Wars”, I wonder if George Lucas is working on the script for “Star Wars Chapter VII”?
