well, well, well...
It's too bad that I wasn't here from the beginning of this; a lot of good ideas floating around here, and I would've loved to have been a part of it. Oh, Indy's Bro, if you need some assistance putting things together, let me know. I'm between projects at the moment, and could take some of the burden off your shoulders.
Two things: 1.) Marion should be left out. Focusing on a slightly younger Indy gives us more to play with -- there's more leeway in terms of development. In fact, I would consider focusing on a ten-year period, say, between '25-'35. 2.) The eels are a cool idea, but I'm just not buying it. Yes, they can feasibly kill a man, but why wouldn't they just swim away? It's not like they have a reason to emit one of their more powerful charges. (In my experience, touching an electric eel, feels a lot like putting a nine-volt battery against your tongue). Maybe piranhas and eels are 'fighting' or are otherwise in an enclosed space requiring them to be defensive? Guy falls off boat, reaches out to grab what he thinks is a branch, but turns out to be an eel.
If you're going to put New Orleans in, how about this: Indy has his 'informant' up against the wall in an alley (Pirate's Alley?). It's a woman, and he's trying to charm whatever info he wants from her, so he pushes the brim of the fedora up, leans in to kiss her, and she sidesteps his advance blowing a cloud of smoke in his face.
I like Stoo's title card; but how about shifting it to an "exotic" part of the map? An antique map?
I was watching the 1994 version of "The Jungle Book", and thought that this picture of Cary Elwes could be an excellent start for a villain.
Well, I think that's about it for now. Keep up the excellent work all!
