Sean Connery will not star in Indy 4. The actor is apparently enjoying retirement too much to do the film. In a statement posted on the official Indiana Jones Web site, Connery said that he will not be reprising his role as Henry Jones, Father of Indiana Jones.
“I get asked the question so often, I thought it best to make an announcement,” the 76-year-old actor said. “I thought long and hard about it, and if anything could have pulled me out of retirement, it would have been an Indiana Jones film. I love working with [director] Steven [Spielberg] and [producer] George [Lucas], and it goes without saying that it is an honor to have Harrison [Ford] as my son. But in the end, retirement is just too damned much fun.”
Indiana Jones 4 is currently in preproduction and will co-star Shia LaBeouf, Cate Blanchett, Ray Winstone and John Hurt.
