I’m still interested in playing it. I think Sallah will appear in the Egypt part. Considering this is set between ROTLA and TLJ.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Pratt is too old for Indy and Powell is too ugly. He doesn't look like an old Hollywood star.
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.
Still don't want him for Indy. That ship sailed about 5 years ago
I like Steve Martin. I don't think he's as entertaining now as he was when he was doing his "let's get small" stand up. As Alan Arkin, Martin was not a good choice for the role as it was so identified with Sellars. With respect to the Clouseau role, neither were in the same league as Sellars, which doesn't mean they weren't good actors. Both have done excellent work in other roles. In the case of TPP, neither was a good fit.
