Obviously an Indiana Jones film isn't coming any time soon. Even if it was announced this minute, and filmed at the nearest opportunity (late 2012/early 2013, at best?) it wouldn't reach screens until probably summer 2014. Harrison Ford will be 72. Yikes.
As time goes on, I've become more open to the idea of an Indiana Jones television show - I don't really mean the semi-educational stuff like the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (although I'd be happy with more of that) I mean a show aimed more at the fans of the films - with an adult Indy. TV shows can be very film-like now and throw a lot of good storytelling at audiences week-to-week. Maybe they could set it during the war years, so we could get more awesome Indy vs. Nazis action.
Also, people would be more open to the idea of recasting Indiana Jones if it was only for TV - they already did it twice.
Would anybody accept this as a viable alternative to an Indiana Jones 5?
