[geomon]

I'll pass. The last one was barely passable and seeing him try to play Han Solo again just convinced me that these characters are long past their due date.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

it'll be written so ford is like stallone in creed imo

So then the real question is who gets to be Shia 2.0

is he going to train Marcus's bastard son then?

 

[NumberTwo]

No thanks?

 

[Dai101]

It's an odd numbered sequel. Spielberg and Ford, DONT FUCKING FAIL ME

 

[Dragun619]

WHAT!?!

Man, was there a hint from either of them that wanted to do another one? Shit, feels like this came out of no where, and there's already a release date? Wtf?

Damn, Man, I hope they have an adventure worth exploring here cause that last one was uh.

And Ford just keeps coming back to his younger acting gigs. Star Wars, Blade Runner, and now Indiana Jones. Quick, what other shit can he do a sequel for. lol

 

[Saint Gregory]

I say that we should all band together now as a united front to stop this. I shouldn't need to remind anyone of what happened the last time we ignored something that seemed like an implausible farce with no chance at success...

 

[Currygan]

But why?

money?
Spielberg can't keep doing these BO 100 and some change million movies forever

 

[Lord Morairty007]

I'm in.

 

[UnforgivenTwin]

Lucas only wrote Temple of Doom I believe.

"You will go to Bangkok palace. There you will learn from Yoda."

 

[strafer]

So then the real question is who gets to be Shia 2.0

Chris Pratt is the only logical answer.

Cast him and the money will rain in.

 

[brandonh83]

He wasn't the star of the movie

He was in it a great deal and was fine. They can write this to make it work.

 

[Tookay]

So then the real question is who gets to be Shia 2.0

Short Round's son!

 

[User1608]

Oh god I'm so excited!!! Please, I hope Ford is not only in good shape, but remains in good health too!!! Because he's certainly not young!

 

[Toothless]

Hopefully it's the oft-floated "Old Indy has an adventure where someone from his past returns, and we see flashbacks with Indy in the 30s with a new actor." That'd be the best way to reboot it, and I think Indy doesn't necessarily have to be Harrison Ford unlike some people.

Bradley Cooper for '30s Indy please.

 

[Sephzilla]

Lucas only wrote Temple of Doom I believe.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
Writers: David Koepp (screenplay), George Lucas (story)

If I remember right, Spielberg in one of the behind the scenes docs pretty much flat out said that he just let George make the Indy story he wanted with this movie because Lucas apparently had a hardon for Indy + aliens for a while.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Indiana Jones and the Search for the Original Star Wars Theatrical Cuts

 

[Auto-Reply]

I can see this working, they just have to make the movie about a lot of flashbacks and Ford is mainly completely CGI and is fighting the Rock as he reprises his role as the scorpion king... it's going to be great, it's going to be great...

 

[Randdalf]

Fuck yes, Indiana Jones is the best. Just get JW on board to do the soundtrack and it will be golden.

 

[Jarmel]

He's not mentioned once in the press release. They make it a point to mention "franchise veterans" Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall returning. I would think if he was involved at all as far as producing or story, as in previous films, he would get a mention.

If the movie is aiming for 2019, I imagine not much work has been done. Plenty of time for Lucas to get on board. We still don't even know what is the status of the script.

 

[celebi23]

Realtalk, I'd love a proper full blown Atlantis movie, like Fate of Atlantis.

Damn, I'd love that. There was a comic book adaption of the game if you haven't checked it out before. Pretty sweet.

 

[Dan]

Meh. Ready Player One and Indy 5. It's gonna be a good stretch with uninteresting Spielberg movies.

Here's hoping he pulls off The BFG.

 

[BUNTING1243]

OH MAAANNNN

 

[Sectorseven]

I hope he kills people in this one.

 

[Cormano]

Fate of Atlantis... oh wait... nvm.

 

[Lothar]

Indy 4 was 2008. He was already too old back then and they want to make another one in 2019?

Yes and it's great. Stop being ageist.

 

[Already Torn]

He was in it a great deal and was fine. They can write this to make it work.

I don't think that's possible

He also practically died filming TFA, don't know if he'll survive this.

 

[Digital-Hero]

Anyone remember the

Spoiler

space pirate

punch in Force Awakens. lol The IJ series just needs to rest. Permanently.

 

[brandonh83]

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
Writers: David Koepp (screenplay), George Lucas (story)

I thought we were talking actual screenwriters.

I don't think that's possible

Apparently some very talented people who know what they're doing disagree.

 

[Bots are better than you]

Out of nowhere, lol.

Carefully excited, but this could end badly.

Thought of mine, Harrison Ford as old man Indie, telling his students about one of his adventures, with Chris Pratt as young guy Indie.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

This doesn't affect my enjoyment of the original movies, so sure.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Either

1. A final that makes up for 4,

or

2. Jones finds Atlantis/Fountain of Youth leading to more Indy movies with a new younger actor(not sure if want)


Disney make a damn Indy Cartoon!

 

[Currygan]

I hope he kills people in this one.

Indiana Jones killed so many people in gruesome ways

 

[PeskyToaster]

Short Round's son!

Omg they should get the kid now guy who played Short Round back.

Edit: God dammit I was searching for the guy who played Short Round and one of the searches is wondering if Glenn from the walking dead is the same actor as short round.

 

[Guy.brush]

Shia has fallen out with Hollywood powers no?
So will they pull another son out of the hat?
Or will it be old eye patch Indy telling young kids some tales involving Ford as a CG double?

 

[liquidtmd]

And Ford just keeps coming back to his younger acting gigs. Star Wars, Blade Runner, and now Indiana Jones. Quick, what other shit can he do a sequel for. lol

Incoming Fugitive 3: Back on the Road, Regarding Henry: With a Vengeance and Firewall 2: Rumours on the Internets

 

[SchrodingerC]

FTLOG, please don't have Ford as the 'action man', he's way too old and it would look absolutely ridiculous.

No more of aliens/dimensional beings either, let's just stay with magical items instead.

 

[Blader]

WHAT!?!

Man, was there a hint from either of them that wanted to do another one? Shit, feels like this came out of no where, and there's already a release date? Wtf?

Ford has talked about it for a long time, Spielberg has been saying somewhat recently that he would be doing another Indy with Ford (and he said it pretty matter of factly, not "I hope we do Indy 5 someday"), Kathy Kennedy also mentioned Indy 5 as something they would do a little down the line, and Disney/Lucasfilm was rumored to be looking at Q4 2018 as a potential release window for the movie.

 

[Christopher]

Fucking hell, a 75 year old headlining an action film. Incredible.

I mean that's the best part about it - 76 and still strong.

 

[brandonh83]

This doesn't affect my enjoyment of the original movies, so sure.

Oh please, your entire childhood is already down the shitter.

 

[slightconfuse]

Why??

 

[DiipuSurotu]

It would be interesting if the actor playing young Han in the Han Solo spinoff movie also plays young Indy in Indy 5.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Whatever, why not? Bring back Short Round!

 

[Already Torn]

I mean that's the best part about it - 76 and still strong.

"Strong"

 

[Sephzilla]

Ford has talked about it for a long time, Spielberg has been saying somewhat recently that he would be doing another Indy with Ford (and he said it pretty matter of factly, not "I hope we do Indy 5 someday"), Kathy Kennedy also mentioned Indy 5 as something they would do a little down the line, and Disney/Lucasfilm was rumored to be looking at Q4 2018 as a potential release window for the movie.

Plus I remember Ford saying that one of the conditions for him signing up for Episode 7 was that he got to play Indiana Jones again.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Very old man still playing iconic role way past his prime is a very action movie thing to do

 

[brandonh83]

Why??

Well, to make money, and to entertain people is generally why films are made.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Meh. whatever.

 

[Vyer]

Fuck it, why not

 

[Tansut]

Maybe it'll be about him and the Grail Knight living in a retirement home.

 

[Dalek]

The only way I could see this working is with fresh blood like they did with Star Wars. No Lucas is a plus, but still.
