Indy 4 intro

[00Kevin]

What do you guys think would be a good intro to Indy 4? perhaps another young indy segment like in Last Crusade only with SPF. Maby Indy searching for a relic mabey with companion to help. INdy persuing the murderers or kidnappers of one of his friends. A segment from one of the Indy Jones Comics from dark horse? what do you guys Think???

For an Indy 4 intro, I'd like it to be something like Indy is looking for the gold idol again. You know he said Belloq had sell it in Marakesh. Maybe he could have a small intro adventure pursuing the thiefs of the gold idol.

And because he is getting old he looses it again. Or finally gets it. :)

Hey, that's a good Idea!

How about we have it set in the future with Old Indy (The guy who was in young Indy Chronicles) dieing on his death bed. He decides to tell his family about an adventure that begun whe he was but a young man in world war one. We then head to a time later and Indiana Jones is caught up in the adventure a while later in his life. I don't exactly have specific idea about what could happen, but it would be a good way to end the Indy films. To have Indiana Joones tell a memorable story on his death bed as he departs the world.

[Bakudo]

Or the movie begins with Indy in India, searching for the two remaining stones of the Temple of Doom! He then gets pursue by some remaining thugees! Ok, too much reharsh.:)

[thefumegator]

But if they did that, I wonder how they would go about it. In Raiders, Indy suggests that Belloq sold the Idol in Marrakesh, but in the script Belloq states that the Hovito's took it from him.

I think that it would be a cool idea to say that the hovitos put the idol back into the temple through some other route, and maybe Indy would be inspired to go back and get it (Kind of like the "return to Peru" level on INFERNAL MACHINE).

Good Idea, Bakudo!

In the best of the Indiana Jones tradition, the movie should begin with Indy searching for a artifact in a foreign country ; maybe Southeast Asia(Thailand,Cambodeia). Have him either find a artifact that is not rare or find the tomb or temple robbed. This makes Indy upset, to the point where he thinks about retiring. Because he thinks all the rare artifacts have all been found(reference:Infernal Machine beginning. From there have the tomb robbers or enemies get into a fight with him, and have him make another great escape. Then of course it is back to the University. From there Indy goes into his next great adventure.........

One of the coolest thing about Indy movies is the intro. The 3 intro of each movies are great, I mean it, they are pure master-piece. They really have to come up with something new. Raiders had the classic "search for an artefact". Temple of Doom had the "deal with gangster in a bar which turns into a battle" and Last Crusade had "young indy adventure".

For one, Indy can't die, he drank from the TRUE Grail, so he has eternal life. But, can he be killed by an outside source, I'd like to know about that. Maybe he can't die of natural causes, but maybe he can be killed by say, a shot to the head. But anyway, for an intro. to Indy 4, I think it should have him in his mid to late twenties searching for, let's say, an ancient gold mask of some sort, kida' like the one he was searching for in the book Indiana Jones and the Seven Veils. In fact, that very story, and maybe tell about how he and Deirdre got married or something, just a 10 or 15 minute segment and then head on in to the main story. That would be cool, but that's just me. c|:-)

I'm finishing the first of the four novels I have been working on. I start with Indy getting away with an artifact... harrowing escape mind you... but he starts to deal with his getting older. Perhaps this has potential in a new film? Check out the story idea here:

You asked about the whole "grail" thing, and I have an answer.
In the film the whole situation is a bit fuzzy, but in the script and the novel, the grail knight says that the seal in the floor is the extent of the power of the grail.

So, in essence, once indy ran out of the temple in the canyon of the crescent moon, it was possible for him to die again...

Bakudo's suggestion of having Indy locate the gold idol
from the opening sequence of "Raiders" could work.
Maybe it would be more interesting if "Indy 4" ENDED
with Indy locating the idol once again. Since "Indy 4"
will most likely be the last film of the series having
it end the way it all began might be kind of appropriate.

Also, we don't need to see Indy die. Who really wants
to see him as a very old and sick man?

[Shipwreck]

i like the gold idol thing Jack... completes a full circle. I really like it, although there would of course be something more in the middle of the movie somewhere, but having the idol again...that really is a cool idea!

[Bakudo]

It would work only as an introduction. It would be cool to see Indy, having a hard time getting the idol again but this time it would be because of his age. :)

[Shipwreck]

Hmmm... I still like the idol thought...the more i think about it the more i like it...I really do...did i tell you that I liked the idol thing?

[Bakudo]

I wrote a small intro for the essays wanted by the site. Maybe i can write another one about the idol.:)

[Shipwreck]

Good idea....did i tell you that i liked the idol idea...i don't think i did....lol

[Bakudo]

I'm just wondering why they still haven't post my story on the site. Oh well, let's just wait and see.:)

[Shipwreck]

Gilles is pretty busy at the moment... you just have to bear with him and the others. A lot of new things going on, I understand.

[Bakudo]

Oh, I understand. I was just proud because it was my first script in english. My first language is french. :)

[Shipwreck]

tres Bon.

[Aaron H]

French really...I'm learning French. I don't know as much as I should but maybe I'll catch on really quickly.

[Fedora Man]

The intro can be set 1927, because that´s between "Hollywood Follies" and "TOD". So they can film SPF, and with the help of computers, make him look more like HF, so the Young Indy would look like both SPF and HF.

It sounds a little bit weird, I know.

<small>Should this be on the Indy 4 table?</small>

This would imply that all the Indy stories are coming down through Indy's record from his storytelling as a senile old man. Which would beg the question: did it all really happen or is it all the lies of a senile old man?

Better to keep it live.

This is how the intro is going down. Ok like some of you have said we will be going back to get the golden idol from the temple of the Hovitos but this time the man in the hat is not Indy its Short Round and in trying to get the idol he gets busted by the bad guys and Dr. Jones has to go save his old pint-sized sidekick.

I don't know...that introduces the rather interesting element of whether it is true or not...nearly literary, really.
