Harrison Ford's Big Secret
Harrison Ford is back on screen in a new nail-biter, "Firewall," in which his character is forced to go to terrifying lengths to save his family from villains.
"I hope so," said Ford. "We're close. We have a script."
Ford said that Steven Spielberg is still working on the script but that, "Hopefully, he'll satisfy himself and we'll get on with it pretty soon."
As to which characters will be back along with Indiana, Ford wasn't talking. But he hinted that Indiana's elderly dad, played by Sean Connery, might still be in the mix.
"I think everybody is still in pretty good shape," he said.
In "Firewall," Ford plays a computer expert who is forced to rob a bank in order to save his kidnapped wife and children.
And the star promises it will be worth the price of a ticket.
"It moves pretty quick. And it's tense," he told Smith. "I think it's good entertainment. A good ride."
The 63-year-old actor also pointed out that he handled most of the action scenes without the help of a stunt man.
"It's choreographed dance," he said. "There's one shot where the character I play is meant to fall over the railing into the bottom of the ditch. I didn't do that because I knew it would hurt and the stunt guy knew it would hurt. Sure enough it did hurt. So I didn't do that. But everything else was fully within the range of possibility."
Aside from the movie business, Ford's other big passion is piloting a plane and he described a recent outing he went on with a group of flying buddies.
"I just came back from a back country trip where 15 guys and their airplanes went back into the wilderness and we did four days of camping out and going to little tiny strips, stuck up in the mountains," he said.
