It is my desire that Indiana Jones be given to Mike Newell, Jerry Bruckheimer, Ted Elliot and Guillermo Del Toro as opposed to J.J. Abrams now that we know they are the "right men" with the "right stuff" for Indy's world. They've proven that with National Treasure, Pirates of the Caribbean and now the magnificent Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.

National Treasure: Book of Secrets even pays homage to Raiders of the Lost Ark when Riley sees the little golden idol and makes a remark about it that is a straight reference to Indiana Jones. It was something along the lines of "oh, a little golden man."

Seriously, Bruckheimer and company are perfect for taking Indiana Jones back to his glory days.

Most of Jerry Bruckheimer's films have been critically derided, with some exceptions, which I would attribute to strong casts/directors.

Prince of Persia doesn't come out for a month, so you can't call it magnificent.

Just because National Treasure 2 pays homage to Indiana Jones doesn't mean that the creators should go and make an Indy film. Disaster Movie made a reference to Indiana Jones; should the makers go ahead and make an Indy flick? No - that movie was terrible. Likewise, NT2 is widely regarded as a weak attempt to carbon copy the first film. That was one of the worst movies I saw that year.

And Pirates of the Caribbean was only good the first time around - the sequels were awful.

Yes, we were all over this idea last year. I made a colour image of an imagined chase using that very photo (the top one) and *if* the fan animation project ever gets back up to speed, an aero-sled scene will be included.

Great custom job on the photo! (y) I remember seeing that one in my pre-membership lurking days.

Thanks for the name-drop of Sven Hassel. Never heard of him before and just looked him up.

The stories are funny, fiercely brutal, fiercely anti-Nazi, and entirely fictitious, despite Sven's claim that they were inspired by his own experiences. They're a great read. And if you like them, you might also like H.H. Kirst's Gunner Asch novels.

Well I'm sorry to disagree with you but I enjoyed the latter two Pirates movies better than the first one.

I know that the Prince of Persia won't be out until next month but form what I've seen via various websites and youtube and facebook videos for Prince of Persia it seems this will be the movie of the year, at lest for me.

I remember when I saw the Clash of the Titans trailer and I said to myself "thats going to be a horrible movie" and then I was right. Terrible it was. However, when I saw the trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End I remember saying to my friend "this is going to be even better than Dead Man's Chest."

However, trailers are not always the best way of determing if a movie will be good or not but sometimes it works or at lest it does for me.

BTW I don't agree with those who said that Book of Secrets was a bad movie because I know that I enjoyed it and I've seen various fansites praising the movie as well. Still we won't always see eye to eye as we are all individuals. Anyway I think Bruckheimer, Del Toro , Mike Newell and Ted Elliott are perfect for rebooting Indiana Jones, at lest in my opinion.

That would be so f*****g awesome. The whole Aero-sled idea fits so well that it would be kind of hard to make it fail on screen. Seriously, they would have to actually try (HARD) to make that suck. And even then, THEY ARE STILL F*****G AERO-SLEDS.
This really made me laugh, 'bro!:D I just looked on my hard drive and don't have a copy of IndyFan4Ever's horse version. I thought I saved it. Sorry.:( If I do eventually find it, I'll post it in your "snow-bound" thread.

How does one say, "Rostov, cut him off at the ice-bridge!" in Russian?:confused:

That's quite a good image. Thanks for finding that image for us Moedred. I like it!
Lucky for you, I didn't commit to my plan and put in a sexually suggestive side-kick. You would have HATED it!:p

Thanks, Smiffy. Too bad you didn't join sooner! Will check out Sven now that you've brought him to my attention.:hat:

Indy V: Since many people have brought up using the Chinese, have both the Chinese AND the Russians in pursuit of something that Indy is also out to get. This could provide a 3-way tug-o'-war which hasn't been done in the Indy films yet (excluding the Brothers of the Cruciform Sword).

You'll never look back. Well, you might glance over your shoulder once in a while. ;)

Stoo nice joke but it's not like I'm a sexist my man. Indeed I think that out of all of the things God created that womankind is the most glorious and beautiful.

I enjoy female heroins and protagonist just as much as anyone else. It's just that I don't support the outright CRAZYNESS of sexual obession or rather immoral behavior as in Sex and the City or totally perverted things like Drawn Together. Now that's what I find offensive.

I mean I would not mind Indiana Jones having a fine female sidekick, I actually suggested that to Mr. Lucas in my petition for an animated TV show.

Nevertheless I think that the protagnoist from "The Last Templar" would make a perfect Indiana Jones sidekick for after all NBC has called her "Indiana Jones in high heels."

BTW Stoo, I like your idea for a three way tug of war in Indiana Jones featuring the Russians and the Chinese. Good call.

Great, Matt! Now, how about phonetically?:p

From your posts, this is apparent, which is why your comments in the "Adele Blanc-Sec" thread were clearly trolling. Oh, and my above post wasn't a joke...From a couple of pages back:

Michael Bay simply has no talent at all. Either he copies other filmmakers or shoves sex themes down your helpless throat. Bay thinks that Transformers will have smooth sailing as long as he tosses Megan Fox in your face in skimpy clothing and has her humping poor motorcycles or pursing her lips like she's about to, nah I won't go there. (>.<)

If Michael Bay can't seen past the blood of my hand when it comes to the viewer understanding why he cast Megan Fox in Transformers than he has serious issues. Here is what Michael Bay was obviously thinking "Take a boys favorite toy line and turn it into a movie, cast a young girl who looks like a porn star and feed the audience with one needless violent explosion after another and put the porn star-esque Megan Fox is radically sexural suggestive positions and outfits and I rake in hugh amounts of cash at the expensive of the poor guys burning eyes (not to mention his sexual passions) and aching personal private bodyparts. Oh, yeah baby, and I toss in godless profanity just for kicks." Yep, that's Bay for ya.

So, yes, lets keep Indiana Jones nice and humble away from the hands of mad Docter that Bay is. Seriously, perhaps we better take Michael Bay to an Asylum?

Dude, I'm not sexist. I was simply telling the truth about Bay and Transformers in regards to Megan Fox. Even that Glen Beck said the same regarding Megan Fox and Bay. You can't deny that. It's obvious.

Anyway let's not go off topic. Let us stay focused on Indiana Jones.

Indeed. Practice what you preach, Child. If you can take these words to heart then The Raven would be a better place. If not, then there are two words for you and they're NOT "Happy Birthday".(n)

This is an Indy V thread. Your adulation of Glen Black or opinion of the Transformers is irrelevant. "Stay...on...target!":whip:

P.S.
Dovchenko Jr.: We must stop this man they call, Jones! He killed my father!
Rostov: I thought you said it was ants.
Dovchenko Jr.: Never mind about that! Just get Jones!

Another quote from Ford coming soon?

On May 19th, Ford will appear for an interview:

A yearlong Lucasfilm charity campaign called "The Empire Gives Back" begins with the ArcLight event, where Ford will be interviewed on stage by Hero Complex blogger Geoff Boucher.

It's kind of a given that an Indy 5 question will be asked, so let's keep our fingers crossed...

The optimist in me keeps hearkening back to what Karen Allen said about shooting Indy 5 over the summer of 2011.

The pessimist in me thinks that that means Karen Allen is going to be in Indy 5.

They shouldn't use her for much more than window dressing. It was kind of nice to see her in need of Indy again, and it's too bad her character wasn't fleshed out more in KOTCS, but 3 times...that's really pushing it. I mean, she's not an academic, brawler, military type, or excavator. She's Indy's wife, and unless she is held hostage, again, she really doesn't need to be tagging along. Hopefully she'll stay at home for this one.

When you say "home", you mean the "nursing home"!

(drum fill, KA-BUH! Then the silence. Cue the tumbleweed.)

I'm convinced that Karen Allen was only in Indy 4 for nostalgia. They desperately wanted her character so they tried to piece together a motivation for her to be there, when she shouldn't have been. They should let storytelling drive the next installment, not nostalgia.

Then an Ennio Morricone track...
