Let it die already. If you need to reboot it, go ahead, but have Harrison pass the torch already to someone else.

This was the biggest flaw of the new Star Wars film.

Seriously, they need to get on this, Ford isn't getting any younger, 2019 release seems crazy
John Dunbar
correct about everything
last chance for an adaptation of the fate of atlantis. needs some radical changes to accommodate old indy, though.

That or he'll die in this one, there's no way one or the other doesn't happen.

he should meet James Bond in Europe. And get recasting tips from him.

Isn't Harrison like 80 years old? He really can't be doing this.

Spielberg doing an adventure film is pretty much my only hope for an action movie I can be truly happy with nowadays. Seriously.
you say it as if it's something worth celebrating

Harrison Ford is gonna be like 75 when they film this shit. The worst scene in TFA was when he had to move around and get physical. He was already doing the bare minimum of action in Kingdom and that was in his 60s.
Like Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was so aggressively mediocre, with Ford being even older and Spielberg seemingly lost his facility for this kind of pulpy adventure if Kingdom is anything to go by...there's no reason to be optimistic about this.

It'd blow my mind if they don't announce Chris Pratt sooner or later. I can see him being a charming and likable sidekick type that ends up taking over, and he has way more star power and fans than Shia did, which is mainly why that one didn't work out. But Pratt is a different story and less people would mind that happening.
And like TFA, he probably won't be in that much action here but was still a great character. In fact TFA developed him as much if not more, arguably, than the other Star Wars movies. The script can make it work, that's what it's all about and we know nothing about this.

Disney didn't buy Indiana Jones to do adaptations of fanfics... They're going to nuke the EU (Indy 4 already did anyway) and do their own brand new story.
I don't know if he ever actually said that, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. I know I've definitely said that a few times :lol

As the old man in the group with younger people running around doing the dirty work you can make it work. It's not really the Indiana Jones we know at that point.
Think of something like Doctor Who with the first Doctor. Though Hartnell was 55 and just looked like he was 80.

Favorite film series. So on board for this.

I'm going to echo everyone else and say that I do hope Chris Pratt is involved somehow.
Frankly, watching Ford do action in TFA was kinda hard to watch and he wasn't even the main character.
Of course, he could do very limited action in this one, but then there'd have to be someone else to do the heavy lifting. But by that point, I don't know why we wouldn't just reboot the whole thing.

Make it like Indiana = Scrooge McDuck in the Beginning of Don Rosas Life and Times...
Have him tell a tale of Adventure to his grandchildren through flashbacks where he's played by a younger actor and can fight against the Nazis some more and have a present plot in the 1970s where he shows that he isn't all tell without action and takes the hat and whip for one last go around with an old enemy that's back for no/some reason.
A like bit like Lone Ranger, but a lot better.

Nah Pratt is perfect for the roleI'm still seeing Chris Pratt posts. C'mon people, he's the inferior Chris to take on the Indiana Jones role.

if spielberg is directing and kennedy and marshall are producing, i find it unlikely that disney will have total artistic control.

Most movie franchises are like restaurants. It only takes one bad personal experience of food poisoning and you never go there again, no matter what changes they claim they made in the back.
Star Wars and Indy might be the exceptions though. I hated Crystal Skull. Hated it far more than any of the SW prequels, personally. And yet, I'll go see this if it ever comes to fruition because it's Indy and while I expect the worst, I can hope for the best.
I'm sure Disney is eager to give a huge franchise to this guy. Pine as a lead hasn't been able to open any movies outside of Star Trek.I'm still seeing Chris Pratt posts. C'mon people, he's the inferior Chris to take on the Indiana Jones role.
My pitch for Indy's successor has always been Short Round. Indy raised the kid and put him through college, and was pretty active with him for a while.
I could see a movie where Short Round goes on his own quest, using the name Indiana Jones, since it has a reputation, in his search for whatever the macguffin is. That of course causes problems for Henry Jones Jr. at home, so now HE is on Short Round's trail, in a sort of "Catch Me if You Can" sort of chase. Movies ends with Henry Jones Jr. letting Short Round use the Indiana Jones name and allowing for the adventures to continue.

Harrison Ford is 73 years old.
Indy won't be as scared of snakes as he will be a set of stairs and dinner after 6.

dafuq!? give the man a break or move on Harrison!!! at a certain point they're just gonna freeze his body and bring it out anytime they need it!
Pratt's style of humor doesn't work for Indy at all, though. Pratt's a more wise cracking quipping type of guy. Indiana Jones' comedic moments are a bit more straight faced, which reminds me more of Pine (especially in his Captain Kirk role)
