    I’m still interested in playing it. I think Sallah will appear in the Egypt part. Considering this is set between ROTLA and TLJ.

    I am not sure I like the quips after the fights. They don't sound like something that Indy would say.

    A few scenes were screaming for some music but I guess that they don't wish to share it on these play throughs?

    They still may be polishing it off yet. I still will probably buy it. This could Indy’s comeback that Crystal Skull and Dial of Destiny quite weren’t.

    In memory of Tony Todd, here is one of his last projects, as a villain.

    Just an attempt at an Indiana Jones fan art with the rumoured Chris Pratt tumblr_nrlstgnz9r1rv0z1no1_1280.jpg

    I like the idea of Anthony Horowitz writing Indiana Jones stories. An Indy novel or two from him would bring in some readers. He said on social media he would be interested! It's time for the literature of Indiana Jones to make a comeback. Horowitz has succeeded with Sherlock Holmes and James Bond, letting him write Indiana Jones should be a no-brainer for Lucasfilm. Also, no Chris Pratt as Indy, he's WAY too overexposed.

    The garden of Eden in fact holds two trees the tree of life and the tree of knowledge Adam could eat from any tree except from the tree of knowledge. Also God walked in the garden of Eden daily so a face to face interaction with God himself sure ideas explored in 1 and 3 but not to the extent plus Eden has its own real intrigue to draw from Prester John etc.

    Theological history and potential discovery of lost items/ locations has been a hobby of mine for a good 20 years now

    I have said it before I will say it again have Dr Jones Search for the Garden of Eden and in all honesty have the film set in two time periods

    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 like your idea @Risico007 but at this point it would make more sense as a novel. At the risk of being criticized by many others, I would prefer if this was set after DOD. There's a subplot or two if I was writing it. I often write stories with ensemble casts, so expect a lot of returning characters from DOD: Indy, Marion, Sallah, and (don't get mad at me), Helena for sure. Have a surprise appearance from Short Round. Also, @Risico007 almost 10 years ago, you correctly predicted that Indy 5 would be set in two time periods!

    As for Chris Pratt as Indy...too...dull...There's another question. We already have seen Indy from young to much older. If the producers were to make more IJ films, they'll need another actor. If the stories are set in between the existing films, then we know that Indy will survive. Marion will survive. Their son won't. His father won't and his best friend at school won't. Not that anyone thinks Indy ever won't survive but working in the existing Indy-verse locks things in and removes risk. Would people get it - and accept it - were a new Indy-verse explored ? Or, do they accept what Ford said - HE'S Indy and that's it ! I think there's "room" in the timeline for another Ford Indy film, wherein he gets the eye injury for which he wears a patch in the mature-Indy segment of the TV show.

    It's a boring suggestion, but Glen Powell could make a decent Indy I think.

    Not a boring suggestion at all, actually. Powell seems capable of easing into a fun part very quickly and making audiences feel comfortable seeing him.

    Provided we're not talking about A.I.-ing the Ford Indy into perpetuity yet, I see only two options: either they recast Indy, or they deliver no more Indy at all. Frankly, if they must recast him, Powell is not a bad choice.

    There is, of course, always the danger of ending up with a Lazenby / Ehrenreich situation, where an extremely popular actor-role combination is replaced by a new one when audiences aren't yet willing to accept it. The only thing that might help a new Indy is that younger people seem less concerned with the character now than audiences were with Bond and Han Solo in '69 and 2018.

    Give us an animated series of films and/or more novels. Deep Fake or AI will look & feel terrible. Re-casting will not go down well with us old timers. Just my opinion...

    It is interesting how some characters seem to too closely tied to the actor that plays them. I think of Clouseau and Sellers, and now Indy and Ford. I happen to think that recasting Indy or re-booting the series would be folly. But as we have seen with other series Hollywood is always keen to squeeze every last dime out of a property.

    Now that the creators of the character don't really have any say or sway I do wonder if Disney would consider re-launching the character.

    Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you look at it, HF has stated that he doesn't want anyone else playing Indy, and that when he dies, he would take the character with him to the grave. That's actually what's been personally keeping CP from ever portraying Indy.

    In the case of Clouseau, huge casting mistake. Steve Martin wasn't in the same league as Sellers. Sure, Ford is identified with the role, but many film characters have survived with different actors. However, as Steve Martin proved, you can get it wrong.

    I don’t know if that’s fair, Steve Martin is superb. But Sellers would have probably floundered equally if he’d tried to do Martin’s material.

    Clouseau has his own Lazenby. Alan Arkin.

    Pratt is too old for Indy and Powell is too ugly. He doesn't look like an old Hollywood star.

    I am a huge Sellers fan he was a genius, to be fair I thought the first Pink Panther film with Martin was funny. I love Martin also in Only Murders in the Building, Bowfinger and his collaborations with Carl Reiner, so I am biased toward Martin.

    I'm also a big fan of Steve Martin in Planes, Trains and Automobiles. He and John Candy were perfect together! As for Pink Panther, it's generally hard to top Peter Sellers at anything. Relating this to Indy, I say just go for an unknown. We all know Disney will bring him back someday. The last thing that Hollywood needs is Chris Pratt headlining yet another possible franchise.
