Part 5 has been delayed.
Again. Yeah I'm thinking this ain't gonna happen. Not that it was a surefire guarantee.
shareI agree. The last one was pushing the limits of credulity as far as Indy's physical capabilities. Fifteen years after that? It would be hard to buy into the conceit.
It's too bad Shia Leboeuf (sp?) was jettisoned from the series after burning bridges. He had a certain resemblance and the same sort of cocky attitude as a young Indy. They might have been able to do something with it. Whatever the problems of the last movie, he wasn't one of them imo.
I think it's time to let this franchise go. I'd hate to see them go the Terminator route trying to re-capture the magic long after its past due date.
At least in this one Indy will have another weapon to beat up the bad guys with to lend it more believability - his walking stick.
shareReboot the series but this time either use a black actor for the lead role or make it with a female lead
shareI agree that an 80-year-old Indy should be allowed to rest and not be lead actor in an action movie.
Either let the franchise go or recast Indiana Jones and go back to the 30s. Harrison Ford has said he is Indiana Jones, and that the role dies with him. He may be right, because he is very difficult to replace. His charisma in a likable rogue role was a big part of the success of these movies. Replacing him as Han Solo did not work too well for Disney.
On the other hand, who knows, maybe it will work. James Bond's role did not die when Sean Connery left.
Lol. If it can make money it won't die. I assure you Indiana Jones will reboot as soon as Ford is gone.
shareI agree. The question is not whether they'll eventually try, but whether the reboot will be successful with a different actor. Will it still feel like Indiana Jones when Ford's roguish grin is no longer there?
Also, take into account that because of cultural changes, many of the pulp adventures that inspired Indiana Jones are no longer considered acceptable nowadays. Imagine making Temple of Doom today, there would be controversy because of the stereotypical portrayal of Indian culture. The problem is, pulp adventures were all about that, exotic settings depicted in a very sensational way. Probably they will have to always use the nazis as antagonists.
