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

DiscoLad said:I would much rather a cartoon than a real series.
If they did that, they have my vote.
Montana Smith said: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.
Junior Jones said: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).
kongisking said: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:We've had discussions before about the idea/concept of an Indy reboot.
Because Batman and Bond films are based on pre-existing characters & stories. Indiana Jones is a different animal.Raiders112390 said:A franchise like Bond or Batman can potentially be rebooted forever in different styles as they're not really stuck to any particular era or actor.
Connery did 6 Bond films, not 5. His last was in 1983.Raiders112390 said:Like Sean Connery only spent 5 years in the role of James Bond...
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:He wouldn't allow an Indy film with the credits "original story by Max McCoy" to come out--Just because of his ego/desire for total creative control.
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:So it will never happen (at least while George is alive).

Major West said: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.
This is the most accurate statement.Junior Jones said:So it will never happen (at least while George is alive).
Dr. Gonzo said: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.
replican't said: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.

The one true Doctor. Just like Harrison Ford, no one else can ever compete!
Yeah, it's a time travel thing. Tom Baker was actually the first...
