My friends,
I propose we put together a letter campaign and let the beards know we want Indy where he belongs...front and center. He's the star. This series is about HIM.
I think Spielberg...and EVERYONE never imagined Ford could pull a physical movie like KOTCS out of his fedora being in his sixties and all, but he proved all of us WRONG. He CAN do it! So let's not make a movie that makes all these excuses for his age.
I think they dreamed up Mutt because they thought Ford would be walking around with a cane, but that was not the case. Let's ditch the crutch of it all. Indy complained about aches and pains in Raiders, so of course he's going to continue to do that into his 60's, but let's see him have the full focus again. Mutt can be there, but instead of HIM fighting on the jeeps and fighting the main antogonist with Indy watching, let's see it the other way around. It's now PROVEN...Indy can kick butt even in his elder years!
So, I think we should mimic some letter campaigns that have gone before. Create a form letter that outlines these thoughts in a concise manner, choose a date a month or two down the line (but soon, they're crafting the basis for the film now!) and all agree to send that form letter on that specific day to the Beards, overwhelming them with support for the Ford.
For examples of letter campaigns, search for the letter campaign that brought about Superman II the Richard Donner Cut (which I was a part of!) and the Bring Routh Back campaign that continues over at bluetights.net to bring Brandon Routh back to the screen as Superman in a sequel to Superman Returns. These both had/have tremendous support and have/had seen results.
They might be thinking the success of Indy was based more heavily on Shia than it actually was. Let's prove them wrong. What do you say?
