Didn't Will Smith do something similar in Men in Black 3?
I agree; the concept of immersing Indy in an archeological mystery involving “Ancient Astronauts “
, combined with the Cold War , could have been very interesting. Unfortunately the execution was clumsy.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was a movie everyone wanted to see, yet nobody wanted to make.
I have, there are many archeological connections with what are known as “ Ancient Astronauts “ . In theory It seems like a perfect fit, but as pointed out the execution was poor.
I've said it quite a few times in this thread, I'm sure.
Yeah exactly, it works for me. I don't think they even handle it massively badly (the stuff in the temple at the end with them seeing the hieroglyphics of the aliens helping the Aztecs was good), it just didn't feel spooky enough.
That’s fair. Indy always has a great opening.
Mangold is a very good director who I can believe really wants this, and he's only been getting better and better recently, so I think this new one has the potential to be good and actually have a bit of weight behind it. Make it funny, make it exciting, make it emotional, make it properly spooky please James.
We're exactly one year away :)
If it had whatever you imagine is a great artifact/idea with that script, characters and execution it’s still a mess… or another way of looking at is I don’t care at all about the magic rocks of Temple of Doom but it’s still a fun action thrill ride. If the execution was great no one would complain about 👽
Maybe, but I remember people complaining about the idea of aliens before they saw it: I wonder if that mindset didn’t persist.
Well yes, that’s why the ancient astronauts/runways/chariots of the gods thing fits so well.
Bingo…
I prefer fortune and glory to belongs in a museum, but I would also say Holy grail and the Lost Ark are Area 51. They’re supernatural and fantasy. Aliens are mysterious and compelling. I mean they literally don’t show until the last 10mins so even if someone hated aliens passionately the rest of the movie couldve/should’ve been great until last 10 mins for them
So uhm
Do you accept the offer to direct, appear, etc. in it ?
Some of the folks on here seem to be IN THE INDUSTRY, so, would you just figure that a job's a job ?
Would the "rubbish" concerns affect moreso those whose names go way up at the beginning of the credits ? Some of them, I suppose, might feel challenged and think they could make a silk purse out of the smelly, awful, hairy sow's ear before them.
Don’t forget, he signed on to do the movie before a script or director were in place.
Shertainly you're joking.

My girlfriend has a friend who is vacationing in Croatia; the other night she was at the same restaurant as Harrison. He’s looking good, hopefully he’s close to being camera ready. It looks like they’re being creative about shooting around his injury
We'll find out next year.
