A recasting should be done via the James Bond route ... Not a sequel, remake or reboot. Just do it and crank out more GOOD movies that fit with the others.

I actually like Fillion as Indy. While his age is within range, I do agree with TGM: a recasting would be done with a younger actor. This would be done to possibly appeal to the next generation, but more so to provide the opportunity for longevity. The problem with this is the mistake of casting for an action film versus casting for the character who is a rugged and experienced college professor. Sorry, that does not describe somebody in their late 20s or early 30s.

Well, Disney is obviously going to have to re-cast Indy at some point, as Lucas screwed the pooch when he named Indy's son "Mutt". No one is going to see a movie where the lead character's name is "Mutt".

TGM

I'm sure Indy docked his ship in MANY ports.

Have him have another son with Willie... fuck Mutt.

That was unexpected and made me laugh quite a bit!

You know, whatever happens, I'm going to see Indiana Jones 5. That's just the way it is. I mean, I could hem and haw, whine or cheer, but I'm simply going to see it. I know that doesn't contribute much, but I felt like I had to write something on-topic instead of just comment on 'Mallet's Jackie Jormp-Jomp joke.

Apparently 2 films are in the works. From a link in the SW thread:http://marketsaw.blogspot.com.es/201...l#.UwyTIV7t4nX

"Negotiations" are in the works, which - honestly - means nothing. Until a screenwriter is hired, I'm not buying into it.

I'm sure that like the other Lucas franchise which they've purchased, Disney will be trying to squeeze every last cent out of this.

TGM

Ford as a "book end", Jensen Ackles as a young Indy (or cooler son) or else my interest in this will be non-existent.

Bring Shia back in for the first one, and have him killed as motivation for Indy.

And have his death rival something out of Saw or Hostile to get the fans back on board.

PenguinJoe

I don't blame Indy 5 on Shia, I blame it on the terrible story.

I'd still just like one final story to cap off the saga while Ford can still pull it off and end it. Of course Disney is going to probably milk the franchise to death now that they're a part of it though.

What do you guys think of Jon Bernthal as Indy if they ever do a remake/reboot?

TGM

He's yet to show any real "humor" that the Indy character needs. Again, Jensen Ackles or nobody.

Mike86

I'm still of the stance that the day Harrison Ford is out there is no more Indiana Jones. It's not like James Bond or something where different actors have portrayed the character over a long period of time. We're only used to seeing the character portrayed by Harrison Ford since the original film over the course of the four films and I think it should stay that way. If anything have a spinoff character or something if there really needs to be more films in the series.

I dream of a day when studios simply leave a franchise alone. But no, money has to be made.

Shannon Nutt

He was rather un-charismatic in MOB CITY, so I'd say no. I think they need someone with a little more "boyish" charm - like, say, Armie Hammer.

Regardless, I don't think Disney is looking to reboot...they're looking for another film with Ford.

The Further Adventures of Short Round and Willie!

Update : The Raiders! guys have their own Kickstarter to film the one missing scene in their fan-made movie : the Flying Wing scene. I hope it gets made. Will probably contribute at the $50 level myself

Disney and Armie Hammer together for a big budget summer movie? What could go wrong?

Josh-da-man

Is there any reason to think there won't eventually be an Indiana Jones reboot, à la Casino Royale?

johnnysd

Except in this case it is not the studio it is Harrison Ford. He wants to make more Indy movies. In fact, if Lucas wasn't so Lucas-y about "his" franchise, there would probably be several more Indy movies already.

Abob Teff

Nobody had seen different actors play James Bond through the the first five movies either. You are fine with it now, aren't you?

Mike86

In my opinion that's a pretty different comparison though. The Bond films have all been made fairly close together so the transitions were a bit more seamless as they happened. Harrison Ford has been the only person to play Indiana Jones since the first film debuted back in 1981 (I don't really count The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles since the series is set before the films or River Phoenix in The Last Crusade since his part was only brief). If there were already a bunch more sequels to it and maybe the torch was passed a few times it would be different but as it is he is Indiana Jones for all time. I really don't see how anyone else could be put in the role at this point.

TimeSkip

Really? That is understandable but does he honestly think that a seventy year old man can still be like classic Indiana Jones? Honestly it will be like a completely different movie. He needs to be sat down and reminded gently that all things must end.
