" The rumor that Robert Pattinson might be a contender to play Indiana Jones in an upcoming reboot is being treated as &amp;quot;ludicrous.&amp;quot; But should it be? I think there&amp;#039;s a snobbishness about Indy Jones going on here that is more than a little misplaced. Keep in mind that Harrison Ford was Han Solo before he played Indy, and that Star Wars is basically a movie for kids. Kind of like Twilight. The American public doesn&amp;#039;t exactly love Robert Pattinson. Some find him snide, ungrateful, too pale, and surprisingly disheveled, despite his good looks. But all of these are assets for playing Indiana Jones. In fact, Pattinson is in many ways the ideal Indiana Jones. After all, Dr. Jones isn&amp;#039;t supposed to be too likable. He&amp;#039;s a know-it-all who wears bow ties and does what he wants. Bradley Cooper could pull off the role, but he would do so with a lot of unnecessary mugging.   Granted, I don&amp;#039;t really know Pattinson from Twilight so much as Cosmopolis, David Cronenberg&amp;#039;s criminally underrated 2012 thriller, in which Pattinson plays a rich asshole you can&amp;#039;t help but come to appreciate, whether because of his digitally outfitted limo or because, throughout the movie, he becomes more recognizably human. (Who knew Pattinson could pull off that?) It&amp;#039;s clear enough from that movie&amp;#039;s awkward colonoscopy scene and the actor&amp;#039;s talk-show interviews that he has both a rakish charm and a sense of humor about himself. He&amp;#039;s also probably terrified of snakes. Let&amp;#039;s do this thing.      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
