Indiana Jones V

[Lean'n'mean]

What happened to Shia Lebeouf ? he's Indy's son ain't he ? surely he could step into his old man's Alden 405's & carry on the family business of artefact theft, reporting back to dad/Ford comfortably installed in the sunny acres retirement home from time to time.

Shia is being retconned out like the FBI's guns in E.T.

Maybe they can hire J. J. Abrams to write a script where Harrison Ford discovers an alternate universe where he's played by Chris Pine.

I'm increasingly worried that's exactly the sort of thing the Mouse will try to pull off...

I think that was one option they seriously looked at at a time, but the character wasn't as popular as thy had expected, I think, and Lebeouf himself has rather gone off the rails in recent years...

Maybe they'll explain what happened to Shortround sincce 1934...

LaBeouf may have been miscast, and they could possibly have cast another actor who would have made the character more likeable, but I think Mutt Williams was simply a poorly conceived and poorly written character. It did appear they were attempting to position Mutt to be Indy's replacement, but the fans' rather negative reaction probably has everyone involved re-thinking that idea.

Now that Disney owns the franchise, I'd bet they're going to give Indy the James Bond treatment--recast the role, go back to the 1930s or 40s, and send him off on adventures that will fill in some of the character's history that we're not familiar with yet...that is, after Ford takes his final walk in Indy's Aldens.

By George! You've got it!

"Indiana Jones and the fountain of youth!"

Old Indy (Harrison Ford) goes back in time to the late 1930s ---reason and method still need a little work--- where he discovers the fountain of youth somewhere in the jungles of the new world. He takes the plunge and, voila!, out comes his young handsome replacement actor! Mr Spielberg, give me a call! I will of coarse share the royalties with Lean n Mean!

Easy. The inter-dimensional aliens from Crystal Skull come back to reward Indy for his help, so they take him back to the 1930s and drop him off next to the fountain of youth. He takes a dip, or a drink, or whatever, becomes young again, seeks out his younger self who is already in the 1930s, and now we have two Indys! And it would become the most despised movie in cinema history.

Someone on another forum suggested Indy lose an eye as a way to tie the movies to George Hall's appearance as an older version of the character in The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles television series. It's not the worst idea I've heard, but I didn't watch the show so I don't really care one way or the other.

I'd kinda' like to see Indy somehow recover the one that got away--the fertility idol from the opening sequence of Raiders. It wouldn't need to be the primary MacGuffin, but I think it would be a nice way to "bookend" the movies for Ford's final appearance as Indy.

It's rumoured that Mary Poppins will have a hand in it..... but it's undecided for the moment about dancing cartoon penguins.

Great idea but fertility idols aren't what they used to be

Okay, but no Lara Croft!

 

[LizzieMaine]

Or, just have him die at the start of the picture and regenerate into a new young actor. After all, Indiana Jones *is* a Doctor.

 

[Lean'n'mean]

Ah, but he isn't ' The Doctor'

 

[Frunobulax]

Well, I'm convinced Mary Poppins is a Time Lord, why not Indy?

 

[Tiki Tom]

All good ideas. But I was thinking along the lines that, in the 1970s or 80s, old Indy discovers an evil nazi scientist in Brazil (Dr Mengele?) who has invented a time machine and wants to go back to 1939 to give Hitler the plans to the atom bomb at the beginning of the war and rewrite history. Needless to say, Indy jumps into the time machine at the very last minute. And since they are in Brazil, they are naturally near the fountain of youth... Where Mary Poppins is swimming in a skimpy bikini and is being played by Megan Fox... And then the Daleks show up...

 

[Zombie_61]

But legend has it that the Fountain of Youth is somewhere on the Bimini Islands off the coast of Florida. Then again, Indy survived a ride on the conning tower of a Nazi submarine, so he's no stranger to traveling across large bodies of water. And he can dump Megan Fox into the Caribbean along the way! Win win!

Looking good but there's one problem.....Disney doesn't own the rights to the Daleks. Now if you were to replace them with the seven dwarfs & Megan Fox is willing, I think we've got a working scenario.

 

[Lean'n'mean]

All this talk about Indy & no one has mentioned his hat. Since he is going where no ancient temple demolition man has gone before, I suggest we give him a new hat. Now, are we all agreed on a Fez ? "Fezzes are cool" & he'll no longer need a whip, he can crack his tassle !

That sound more like the plot to a porn movie than an Indiana Jones adventure.

Since when did porn movies have plots ?
