Only a reboot via a TV series, as I've written elsewhere. That way it wouldn't step on Harrison's big screen toes.

As a TV series it could be either animated or live. As long as the artwork is detailed and realistic, and not anime or cheaply done.

I don't think George will ever reboot the Indiana Jones franchise, just like he'll never reboot Star Wars. Previously successful reboots (Batman, Bond, Star Trek) have involved new creative teams brought in by the studio. But in this case George is the studio. So it will never happen (at least while George is alive).

If they reboot Indy, it would have to be much more CGI heavy, so keep that in mind, people.

Right. All the more reason to start a brand new thread on the subject.Raiders112390 said:
INDY SERIES RE-BOOT??? Your thoughts...
Would you rather...
New Director?
Would you support a Bond-style re-cast of Indy after Kingdom?
Because Batman and Bond films are based on pre-existing characters & stories. Indiana Jones is a different animal.Raiders112390 said:
Connery did 6 Bond films, not 5. His last was in 1983.Raiders112390 said:
That's fine with me because I'd prefer a new adventure rather than something taken from a story I've already read. (I also don't see what Lucas' ego has to do with it. Indy is one of his babies so let him do what he wants.)Raiders112390 said:
I agree with you, Junior. As I said in the other main thread on this very topic; I don't see a "reboot" as being a major concern right now but it, most likely, will happen after Lucas, Spielberg and Ford are dead & buried.Junior Jones said:
That said, a TV series set between 1921-34 would be most welcome.
Stoo said:Right. All the more reason to start a brand new thread on the subject.
Indeed. Merged with the first of the ones you mentioned. (The others weren't dead-on matches.) Really, Raiders112390, make the effort on this.

I agree with your feelings as to an original story. As to the parenthetical: like when he made deals with Disney to have his universes portrayed in the parks?

I think the next film will be a reboot
I was just reading the news page about V and I see it's pretty much dead and I sense a lack of real enthusiasm from the major participants for it to happen. I have a feeling that Indy may return in say 10 years time but with a whole new crew and cast to kick start potentially a new series of films. That's just how I see it going.

You think that could happen in the beards' lifetime though? They'll still be around in a decade. Spielberg will probably still be directing films too...
I reckon it wouldn't happen until after they'd passed away, and then it would depend on what happens to the Indy IP.

Why a reboot? The term itself is far too...ah, nebulous. If I understand it correctly, you're striking down all Canon Law and otherwise blazing your own trail with well-established characters. So then what exactly needs to be re-booted?
Nothing. While Indiana Jones doesn't exist in a vacuum, each adventure is self-contained. Putting another actor in the role doesn't change a thing about the character; accepting a new actor in the role is going to have to happen if there's any hope of further adventures. Y'know, that whole high cost of living thing...

This is the most accurate statement.Junior Jones said:
The way I see it. We aren't gonna see Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones again.
But we aren't going to see a reboot in the big 3's lifetime either...
That "in ten years we'll get a reboot" comment a couple up is too generous.
There won't be a reboot for at least 20 years. If even at all.
See my thread on who will own Indiana Jones after Lucas dies. http://raven.theraider.net/showthread.php?t=22141
It's very possible that after George becomes one with the force that a clause will be enforced prohibiting any further sequels/prequels/or reboots to the Indiana Jones franchise.

Reboot it Sucker Punch style.
All those far-fetched tales about Indian sorcerers, the Ark, the Holy Grail, Aliens, Dracula, and meeting virtually every famous person in his lifetime? They obviously occurred only in the imagination of an asylum inmate facing lobotomy.
It would also explain his ability to survive, and the bizarre manner in which his hat always returned to him.
Reboot and there?s plenty more tales to tell before the orbitoclast strikes home. Indy can even imagine himself as a different person (i.e. a different actor).
Lucas could milk this for many years to come.
This has been a public service announcement against the case for a reboot!

Hey, why not give Indy a scarf instead of a hat, change his whip a screwdriver, his horse to a blue public phonebox and build on the huge public and critical acclaim for Indy 5'sstoryline by having him travel through space and time having adventures?
To differentiate between the classic quadrilogy and this new incarnation, you could call it, I dunno, Dr Who or something.

Yeah, it's a time travel thing. Tom Baker was actually the first...

I agree, although the last two have been pretty good.
