I like Pratt, from well before Guardians, but not super excited by this. it could work i guess...

Bradley Cooper seemed to be the choice for Disney before this. I wonder who would be better...

Heard good idea. Keep Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. Have Chris Pratt be Indy's other son, Montana Jones. Have Montana Jones/Pratt kill Shia LaBeouf. Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.

I'm still holding out for Patton Oswalt but, i prefer Cooper to Pratt, all things considered.

Or they could have it set back when Indy is in his younger days obviously with a different actor.

Indiana Jones Chronicles style?

Yeah have it set after Temple of Doom & before Last Crusade, There's like 4 years between those events

or even after Last Crusade and Before Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

OMG... all this reviving stuff.

Not a bad idea...

Yes it is.

Why?
Its no worse than any ideas coming out of Hollywood right now.

How would you do it?.....instead of just complaining about it.

I would leave it alone, to be honest. And Riv is right, it's like any idea coming out of Hollywood. Indy never was that. So it's a wrong starting point.

But if... IF you want to go on, you'd probably have to reboot the lot. I mean, I don't need an old Harrison Ford playing more Indy's. I always wanted to BE Indy, I didn't need to SEE Indy. So an old Ford is out of the question for me.

And then start over? Well, apart from the fact that I think it's a bad idea, it all comes down to starting at the basic: nazi's and a good McGuffin. But the McGuffin is the hard part.

Atlantis would be nice, but the topic itself is mwah...prolly not very original. I dunno. Noah's Ark maybe? You need something big, some major myth or magical artefact. Garden of Eden maybe...

And then of course, a damn fine actor.

So basically its not really a bad idea, you just dont like it. Thats cool.

It was a very good idea in the 80s.

Now, I fear it will be a CGI fest with unconvincing actors, action and plot lines... The only reason they milk it is because of the money. Not because of the kind of movie they wanna make, like Lucas en Spielberg did at the time. That is why I think it's a bad idea.

Still just sounds like you dont like it.

If you really think the IJ movies and sequels werent motivated by wanting to make money, well, you have some rose tinted glasses going on.

Of course they were, but not with the idea of: what can we do to make a lot of money. They thought: wouldn't it be a good idea to do some 50s serial like movie!

Now the idea is: how can we milk the franchise?

There is a difference.

And yes, I still don't like it. Unless a good reboot convinces me otherwise.

Steven Spielberg May Direct Chris Pratt as Indiana Jones

http://www.superherohype.com/news/330927-steven-spielberg-may-direct-chris-pratt-as-indiana-jones

All i can say is, get TO it, Spielberg! You're no spring chicken yourself!

At least he won't have Lucas sticking his noise in things.

You never know...

Nooice.

indiana pratt wouldn't be the worst to come out thou

Just because he kinda looks like a young Harrison Ford, doesn't mean he has the personality for an engaging Indy.

he has done well enough to show seriousness and a bit of sexyness in jurassic world

That was my point when i made the thread.
The choice didnt excite me.
Still, the above is a nice piece of artwork.

Steven Spielberg won't allow anyone but Harrison Ford to be Indiana Jones

http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/steven-spielberg-wont-allow-anyone-but-harrison-ford-to-be-indiana-jones-225

He's got every right to do that i suppose.
At his age, with his wealth, i'm thinking maybe he doesnt care about rebooting the franchise and making it viable for another 10-15 years.

In honor of those not getting the part, today my sig is of the best possible casting choice they could have gone with: Patton Oswalt.

In that link he compares it to Batman or Spider-Man changing the actor, Shouldn't be done in Indy's case

but what about James Bond??....that's worked out.

Its obviously not what he wants for the character though.
One difference between Indy and Bond/Spidey/Bats...they all started out in print.
Indy is basically an original concept that was brought to life by Ford.

Thought of another example, the character of Mad Max.

What about him?

He never existed on page like Bond/Spidey/Bats, Started off with Mel Gibson playing him and they switched him to Tom Hardy.

Does it really matter what spielberg says??? Disney owns the right don't they...they can just get chris pratt or someone else and get a new director/writer???

True, but that character has nothing to do with Spielberg.
I was just putting a possible "why" as to Spielberg being adamant on no new Indy.

It basically comes down to this: if they want Spielberg to direct, he's gonna want to have Ford.

Uh huh.
