Harrison IS the series that's the massive problem Disney have. Reboots are losing box office clout as audiences are getting fed up with bland, pointless, remakes.kongisking said:So condemn the series to death, then? Star Wars gets to live on till that asteroid hits and kills us all, but Indiana Jones, a movie series that frankly is much better than the vast majority of Star Wars fiction, has to die out?
You think an Indy movie without Ford automatically means dumbing it down for tweens. Nope, that's Star Wars' problem, since that series has such insane fundamental kid appeal (look, lasers! spaceships! aliens! Wheee!) that it takes actual effort to treat the material seriously anymore.
Indy, in contrast, is much more of an adult property. Yes, KOTCS tried the whole 'dumb it down for kids' routine, but the haters did their job well in slandering it as an utter failure that murdered the series. So, for a reboot, they'd HAVE to darken it up, otherwise...what would indeed be the point?
So, you should be thrilled at the idea of a reboot. Clean slate and all that lovely jazz. An, ahem, "return to form", even.
If Spielberg is not interested a Frank Marshall directed Harrison Ford Indy 5 would work very well
