Or maybe Indy will use a timemachine, travel back to 1951 and prevent his dad from dying...

Darth Vile said:I think Lucas/Spielberg could easily write themselves out of that particular corner. For example, Henry Jones Sr might have been presumed dead/lost following a plane crash, avalanche, boat sinking etc. etc (take your pick). Not saying it's a good idea, or that they'd even do it that way... but I think it's easily written around if they wanted Connery back for a fifth...
Rivers said:Very true. They could do this.
Although the book Indiana Jones the Ultimate Guide does say " passes away"
I would be more optomistic if it said "goes missing" or "presumed "deceased"
The Passes away statement seemes pretty definitive.
I really would think that they wouldn't have Indy go off and find his father AGAIN... it would just be a carbon copy of LC.
So the other possibilities mentioned are all more likely to happen...even Ugggg.... the time machine thingie
Hanselation said:But how I already wrote...MAYBE! Time is running and if Indy 5 isn't already on the schedule of George/Steven and Harrison Indy 5 is already just an unrealistic vision.
By the way: The first Iron Man was also in the movies in 2008 (like KotCS) and there we've got already a sequel and now it is fact, that the director of Part 3 is already confirmed: Shawn Black http://www.imdb.com/news/ni7842140/

Indy's brother said:For what it's worth, I for one (and seemingly the only one) am not on the Iron Man bandwagon. At all. I'll take KOTCS over 3 Iron Man flicks. That being said, the amount of time it has taken post-OT for more Indy is ridiculous and depressing.
Darth Vile said:I personally thought KOTCS (with all its flaws) had more imagination and charm in the first 30 mins than both Iron Man movies put together.
Montana Smith said:The first thirty-odd minutes of KOTCS did have charm and imagination. After Doom Town it began to lose both, and it therefore lost a lot of promise. Characters and situations were set up to be exploited, and for some reason they weren't. The charm of the relationships in ROTLA and TLC didn't materialize. The connections between characters were as hollow as with Indy's companions in TOD.
That's why I'm not in a hurry to see Indy V made. Nineteen years of waiting produced KOTCS, and I really expected the creators to have been more sympathetic, and hope it isn't the shape of things to come.
Darth Vile said:I don't relish the idea of any possible Indy V purely because I just don't think Spielberg no longer has the knack of pushing the boundaries of an action movie (perhaps that's a younger directors bag?).
Darth Vile said:However, I still stand by the view that an average Indy movie (i.e. KOTCS) is still better than most Iron Men, Xmen, Pirates OTC and James Bond et al sequels.
Montana Smith said:Let Tarantino or Rodriguez have a go. That should liven up proceedings and also raise the certificiate to clear the kids out the way. (So no more swinging with the monkeys!)
They all have their place and their appeal, but an Indy film is always going to be in the shadow of Raiders. The first movie was the magic that gave life to the series, and matching it was always going to be a thankless task.
I still prefer the vision they achieved in the '80s. Not that the character of Indy doesn't travel well, but more that his creators aren't in the same frame of mind that they used to be. Lucas and Spielberg have a different outlook now. There are things that they don't want their leading characters to do any more, and places they don't want them to go. That's what I was trying to say in the blu-ray thread. Lucas looks like he'd rather have cleaner cut heroes, and regrets having them do the darker deeds. Spielberg in turn removed the guns from E.T., reducing the threat level.
That for me doesn't bode well for another Indy movie.

Indy's brother said:Maybe it's my morbid curiosity getting the better of me, but part of my interest in Indy 5 is to see wether it will be a triumphant return to form or a dismal confirmation that there is no coming back for Indy in the hands of his current caretakers. Either way, it would be near impossible for some of the old magic to not to creep in and give us a shiny glimpse (or two, or three) of what we love about the character and Spielberg's flair for storytelling. Even if it's as divisive as KOTCS, it's enough of a reason for me to be there. It's my duty as a fan to at least give the dynamic trio a shot at redemption, they've certainly earned that. If a 5th is no better than the last, I'll admit defeat......but I vhant to know.....
Yep - Agreed.Indy's brother said:Spielberg saying that Ford was the "secret weapon" in the Indy films was right on track for me. After they either wrap the Ford version up (which I'm not convinced has happened), or run the Ford version irreversibly into the ground (which I'll admit, some already believe), then I don't really care what happens. A future recast of Dr. Jones would be an interesting curiosity for me, but I don't need the franchise to continue after Ford enough to really want that.

Mickiana said:All is fair in love and war and holding movies up to Raiders is not only fair but essential. What are you going to compare proceeding movies to - inferior ones or the best? Raiders is the equivalent of Olympic gold. Its achievements are always to be held up against would-be successors and competitors. This is the nature of canon making.
Just had twenty minutes on the phone with Marion Ravenwood. I tell you, if I was thirty years older. Indy 5 is most likely happening.
Karen Allen, the star of the first and most recent Indiana Jones movies, says she will be on stage at Armageddon taking questions about the continuing adventures of the movies' namesake as well as her turns in Animal House and Starman. [...] As for the fifth Indiana Jones film … ''There is a script being worked on and there seems to be agreement on the core of the story. From what I hear, Harrison [Ford] and George [Lucas] and Steven [Spielberg] like the core of the story.'' Allen, seen here in the first of the series in 1981, admits that her acting career doesn't compare to that of Indiana Jonesco-star Ford, but questions whether he has been more ''successful'' than her. ''In my 20s acting was all that I was about, but when I had my son I kind of realised that there's more to life. How many blockbuster movies do you have to be in?''
