Yea I am hoping he will fast track that Ready Player One Sequel.
Spielberg won't do Indy 5
- Thread starter Flying Spaghetti Monster
- Start date
If it's about a kid or grand kid, it could still be if they are Henry Jones III or IV, and they take on the Indiana nickname is honor of the original. That would be the best way IMO to continue on the series past Harrison Ford, just give us a whole new Indy. It would also leave things open for appreances by Ford, John Rhys Davies or Karen Allen, all playing their original characters.
While not an adventure film per se, Ford V Ferrari was quite entertaining, dramatic with a good dose of fun. And those car racing scenes...
he's a very good choice for the franchise.
It sucks that Crystal Skull already ruined the "Indy passes the torch to his kid" thing, because that really could have worked for this, if we didn't have to consider mutt and that bad movie in general. I'd watch another Indiana Jones movie, but its really not something I'm enthusiastic for at this point.
Granted, but Disney's got virtually infinite funds. If anyone could start a new pre-1950s adventure franchise, with the ad campaign blaring "From the studio behind INDIANA JONES," it's them.
... Though, not gonna lie, if Alden Ehrenreich wanted a shot at the part, I'd say let him.
Oh, well yes, he definitely looks the part.
Someone should photoshop him into an Indy poster!
Do modern audiences even know what those are these days? All the movies and series we see now being set in the 80s are just as far removed as the serials were from Raiders of the Lost Ark, perhaps those are the new "period" pieces.
I was going to caveat my post by saying I hadn’t seen that one, because it did look fun from the trailers.
I would agree too, as others have said, that he’s an old-school quality filmmaker, it’s not like they’ve handed it to Michael Bay or the like.
Indeed. I thought that was a very good film.
I don’t mind early Michael Bay, but he’s such a stylist that it would hard to make it look like the rest of the movies. And where would be stick big explosions and lingering shots of women?
Ok. The sexist part of Bay I don’t like so much.
And yet, Stephen Sommers, Brendan Fraser, and Rachel Weisz made a better companion piece to Raiders of the Lost Ark than any of the actual IJ sequels, so...
No.
Raiders is vastly eclipsed by all 3 of its successor films, with Crystal Skull and Temple of Doom at the top.
Yes, if you meant to say that Raiders is vastly illuminated by all 3 of its successor films.

I meant exactly what I typed.
Temple of Doom, Last Crusade, and Crystal Skull are all better than Raiders.
This is the worst thing I have ever seen on the internet.
Wow, I'm definitely going to have disagree here. I'd say Last Crusade is pretty close, but there is no way I would ever consider Temple of Doom and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull as good as or especially better, than Raiders of the Last Ark.
Temple of Doom is such a different kind of movie in terms of tone than its predecessor and it almost doesn't fit in with the others. Watching it recently, I was actually quite surprised how much gore there was.
Lucas wanted it to be darker to follow the pattern established by Star Wars, where the second one was much darker.
Taking a guy's heart out while he is still living is pretty twisted stuff.
