The Monkey King Script

[Dr. Gonzo]

I remember skimming this script a few years back and thinking, "they can't be serious." For that reason I've never sat down to actually read it in one sitting.

Would you guys have rather seen this as opposed to Saucer Men? Given that Last Crusade does take many an action sequence from Monkey King, theoretically would you guys have wanted to see Monkey King or Saucer Men?

Dug up this 1984 Spielberg interview where he tells Chris Columbus "this one should have riddles and maybe a puzzle and how there should be a test of character." They could be discussing Goonies though.

In 1985 the interviewer mentions "Raiders III" and Spielberg repeats it. Probably about the last (and first?) time anyone called it that. The 1985-1987 scripts were labelled "Indy III."

Starting in September, J.W. Rinzler's 8-part Dark Horse comics adaptation of Lucas's 1974 Star Wars script begins.

Maybe there's hope for a 6-part Monkey King adaptation? Think of the covers: Irish castle, water skiing, pirate ship battle, rhinoceros riding, gladiator arena, Indy's funeral. And it would become canonical!
