New Indiana Jones Movie in works
- Thread starter JiNX-01
- Start date
So, another 16 years, then.
Coincidentally it will be 1977 for Indy.
Watch Indy go to the toilet, watch Indy yell at the Nurse he calls "Mama"
Lucas- Actor's can be finky so i've decided to have an all CGI cast! They won't talk back BWAHAHA
1977? Watch Indy go to the premiere of Star Wars with Mutt.

Whoa! That'd be a surreal moment.
Connery didn't do The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull because he was "enjoying retirement too much."
That is of course if Connery understood what was going on in the script. He's supposedly known for not understanding some of the more 'fantasy' elements in his movies.
Or he could have just been having too much fun with Alex Trebek's mother...
Shia as a badass biker, kicking hippie ass? I'm up for that. 
Ooooooh hippies...that means a Himalayan quest for some hippie-shit thing. Mutt Jones and the Ultimate Ganja.

Indeed. He turned down both Gandalf and Morpheus because he couldn't understand the scripts. After both series' huge success, Connery blindly accepted the role in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen because he thought it would be another success. When it bombed horribly, he retired.
So, yeah, he's not the best judge of script quality.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen did better than people remember. It had almost exactly the same level of success as Daredevil (just with the proportion of domestic and international box office reversed). So not a smash hit, but not a bomb either. But the box office returns of films that are widely disliked tend to get written up in harsher terms than films that get a good critical response, so the entertainment media can leave a misleading impression.
I'm up for another "Indy" film...but yes Star Wars VII would be better....
The "fake looking stuff" was mostly part of the style of the movies this particular entry was trying to emulate: 50's sci-fi movies.
I seriously doubt it was due to not caring, carelessness, laziness, no money and untalented people. I'd bet most of the choices were deliberate to match the style of what they were going for.

My biggest complaint is superficial. I thought the cinematography was way too polished. I missed the grittiness of Raiders. Heck, even The Last Crusade had some dirt and grim to it. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull really lacked that feeling in my opinion, and thusly didn't really feel like an Indiana Jones movie to me.
I liked Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It wasn't great, but it was still enjoyable. The thing that most folks don't get is that unlike the first three it wasn't a 1930s adventure serial writ large. It was a 1950s B Sci-Fi movie writ large. Although it's a logical progression from the 30s, that's a whole different type of movie.
That understood, you can enjoy KotCS for what it was. I certainly did. As for a 5th Indy movie - sure, bring it on boys!

^ I get that all right. And when the plot of KOTCS was announced and the 50s setting gives justification, I thought it was a good idea. But the execution just didn't work for me. The first 45 minutes or so were good fun and I liked Ford's take on an older, slightly crankier Indy. But the whole thing never came together and I actually found myself bored for long portions of it.
It was obviously supposed to look like a 1950s backlot film but for me it doesn't work in colour.
The most obvious example are the bits just outside the hanger at the start.
