Not saying that this guy is telling the truth, but it's something to hope for (for me at least, always wanted to see Indy in theatres):

Indiana Jones slated for Production in 2005

[Qwerty]

Hey, if it happens.

I'd love to see it.

[freemo]

I agree with everything chimera01 says. And please, please, no Indiana Jones 4. It's a good trilogy, leave it be. If they tried to make another one, the law of diminishing returns would almost certainly apply. No thank you.

(If we absolutely have to have an Indy 4, I hope they use that haunted castle idea mentioned at the start of the Last Crusade DVD doco. I might just be up in that. Better than another Raiders retread anyway).

[SnakeEyes]

Yeah, a haunted castle without Nazis or little kids.

[Qwerty]

The Nazi idea might get a little old if they did it again.

Still, I'd be open to many choices for plot if they made this.

[SnakeEyes]

Well, not really. I think it never gets old to shoot at Nazis. People today enjoy things they can point their finger at and claim easily that they're the bad guys. Makes it a nice simple black n' white affair rather than all this grayness with anti-heros etc.

It would be old however, if it was too similar to how things were in Raiders of Lost Arc and/or The Last Crusade. I hope they'll make good decisions though if they make it.

[SnakeEyes]

Perhaps best to hope they don't even make it

[Qwerty]

I can't agree there, I think if they had the ideas and the plotting to do so, then they could.

One of the good things (or bad, depending on how you look at it), you have Steven Spielberg who has an equal say in the series, and Harrison Ford who has some weight to throw around in the series. George can't screw it up entirely, it'd have to be a (pardon my bad language) "cluster ".

Haha. Quite, imagine if George had full control of it at this time...

[SnakeEyes]

It actually isn't Lucas i'm worried about, it's the fact that Ford is an old man and even Spielburg has had some dumb ideas recently (Guns = Phones in the ET edit...puh-lease).

I just can't see the magic being there this time, at all.

A very valid point there, but the one thing with Spielberg was he was smart enough to realize some people would (and obviously did) hate that change, and released the original on the DVD with the changed version.

Ford looked terrible on the Indiana Jones docs, but make-up artists always seem to make him look more alive in his recent movies. The unsettling bit is Connery's return, and how he would definitely not look old enough to be Henry Jones Sr.

Wait a minute, what exactly are you speaking of SnakeEyes?

I've a hunch you're referring to a scene very late in the movie, yes?

When Spielberg re-released ET, he digitally removed the guns from the hands of the FBI agents, and replaced them with cellular phones.

Also, not to worry anyone...but Lucas recently put a hault to Indy 4, because he wasn't pleased with the script by Frank "Shawshank Redemption" Darabont. So instead, George "Writes Like a Ten Year Old" Lucas has decided to take a crack at the script himself.

God help our favorite archaeologist.

Yep, when they are on the bikes about to take off. It is so noticeable because I have the original edition on tape, and there is a scene of a gun in front of a car door in that scene.

WHY did he do that, I don't get this one.

It's called Politcal Correctness Qwerty.

If they made an Indy 4, it would be set in the 1950's. Remember Harrison Ford would be much older.

[Qwerty]

Yeah, but I really don't think that was a change that had to occur.

[SnakeEyes]

His reasoning was that he had kids and didn't want them to be wary of police and law enforcement officers. Remember kids: cops r gud.

Personally I like the guns and the total untrustworthyness (is that a word?) of the FBI agents in the film. It's more real and even though it may be hard for a kid to understand, I think it's right that you don't place blind trust in a uniform. Classic example of someone trying to change society by censorship rather than correct education. Guess I hate Spielburg more than I thought.

Apparently enough people were offended to cause Spielberg to make it.

[Qwerty]

I suppose so. I guess that one never jumped out at me.
