Disney CEO Bob Iger has confirmed there will be more IJ films, regardless.
Disney bought IJ, so that's a done deal and now Iger can rest easier knowing Ford still has draw.
Producer Marshall said no one else will be Indy, but that they have to think carefully about it... Which means they will attempt to introduce a new character that is as good and can carry on the torch... that's a lot to ask of writers and actors right there.
I hope Spielberg just produces, I don't want him directing another "action comedy"with family ties. Get someone younger and more interested in making a great suspense action film with no family stories.
Post of the century. ^:)^
Harrison was on the Jonathan Ross Show over Christmas and was asked about Indy 5. His response was that they had 2 ideas they'd been working together on with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, and that they were coming together nicely, so it seemed likely there would be a new Indy movie announced pretty soon.
I am sure those sentiments were around when Sean Connery decided to call it a day on a 5 movie series. Aren't you glad those folks were wrong?
Completely different situation. Connery had been Bond for less than 7 years when he was replaced, and anyway, Bond was born without a specific face, being a book character.
Harrison Ford, on the other hand, has been Indiana Jones for 30+ years and since the first movie came out, everyone identifies Indy with Ford.
I guess you never watched the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles in which Indy was already played by various actors. I quite enjoyed them.
What would you do?
I tried, but I couldn't watch it without Ford, sorry.
Difference is the James Bond film series wasn't even 10 years old when they got a new actor to play Bond. Indiana Jones is a 35 year old film series with the same guy in the role for 35 years
There is always a difference, but does it really matter. In the movie industry so many stories have been done more than once and parts have been played by various actors in more or less succes.
Lucas has sold Indy Jones to Disney so you can bet that there will be a new Indiana Jones sooner than later. And if they come with an entertaining movie like TFA with a new indy then I am game because Indiana Jones is nothing more than pure entertainment for the masses.
Disney obviously needs SOME way to get the Fantastic Four film rights out of the hands of Fox, who has NO idea what to do with the property. What if Disney believes that Indy is a series with a strong name recognition factor but limited potential as Harrison Ford gets older & older ... and purchased the Indiana Jones rights solely as a bargaining chip to use to wrench back the cinematic rights to Marvel's First Family?
Actor George Hall was 76 when he played Old Indiana Jones on TV back in 1992. Harrison Ford is 73 and plans to play Indiana Jones in Indy 5.
Does this change anyone's mind?
Indy gets stuck beneath his own walker,
Here is my idea
the film opens in the 1930's in China Dr Jones (Chris Pratt) is on the quest looking for the white pyramid of China we are at the end of his quest as he find it but Chinese gangsters have a rival Archeologist Dr Sam Von Hammerstien ( played by Benedict Cumberbauch because why not) anyways they both find the pyridmad at the same time but a fight breaks out both indy and Dr Von Hammerstien escape. Cut to 1962 and Dr Jones (Harrison ford) Waking up as if out of a nightmare he meets with his collegue Dr Michael Smith (played brilliantly by Timothy Dalton also I am horrible with coming up with names so sue me) and his assitent/daughter Sara (Played by the go to hot girl that older men can date the girl played Xenia Onatopp Famke Jessen I think is the spelling I am also at work and IMDB is blocked so..) Micheal complains the glory days of Archeology are behind them and now it's all arm chair theories and book reading (a sentiment I actually share now) and that everyone in academia believes the great lie "there is nothing more to find." Indy Worries they may be right. we cut to a Soviet prison where we see a man hooded being dragged to an integration room the hood is removed to reveal Dr Von Hammerstien who hasn't aged since the 1930's. We meet a soviet captain who basically demands why Dr Von Hammerstien hasn't found it yet. he begs for more time and then points out that no matter what they can't kill him anyways. Dr. V says the best option is to get Dr. Jones he will find it. Flashback to 1930 Dr. Jones is meeting with Dr. Michael Smith ( played by Jason Issac as he looks like a younger timothy Dalton) and US Captains they want him to find Noah's ark as apparently Noah had a navigational tool given to him by God the Nazis want it. Dr Jones jokes the ark's location is the worst kept secret in archeology and that finding it should be a breeze
....
that is what I have so far basically the two stories connect with Old Indy finding the Garden of Eden and basically never leaving.
I'm hoping he gets cast in the Young Han Solo movie coming out soon. For Indy, I'd really love to see Karl Urban in the role as Indy in his Prime.
