The official site for "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" had updated its cast section this week to include some cool info that all at once seemed to disappear for reasons unknown...
Garth Franklin of Dark Horizons said that while it was up, the site seemed to confirm the long standing rumor which Dark Horizons first broke back in June - that John Hurt would be playing the long thought-dead Abner Ravenwood (father of Karen Allen's character Marion).
As recently as last month, producerFrank Marshall denied the talk of Abner's appearance in the film.
Meanwhile the site also lists "Star Wars" actor Ian McDiarmid [Palpatine] as playing the role of Professor Levi in the new film. This is surprising as McDiarmid played the role of Professor Levi, a friend of Indy's father living in Paris, in a 1993 episode of ""The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" in which Indy has a torrid affair with Mata Hari.
As the action of this film is set in 1957, forty-one years after the events of that episode, McDiarmid would have to play the character as in his late eighties (that is unless a flashback element is a part of the action)...
Having McDiarmid reprise Levi would be a neat thing and he can certainly deal with the process of older make up. Just look at what he had to go through to play Palpatine in Wars...
