Apart from "Skull", the Indy films weren't really shot using that technique but a sprawling trek in a 5th film COULD be done that way, without the general audience even realizing it.Toht's Arm said:I don't have any problems whatsoever with that trick. In my mind (if not in actuality) I always associated the Indiana Jones films with a long shot of an actual location, followed by a close-up usually shot in a studio. This doesn't bother me at all.
You're right that Indy doesn't need to "go nuts globetrotting" but his adventure should be kept outside of the States for the 5th (in my & other peoples' opinion).Toht's Arm said:That being said, I just read The Unicorn's Legacy for the first time and a big chunk of that is set on US soil. I really enjoyed that book, so Indy doesn't have to go nuts globetrotting.
Inspirational, how? Are you inspired to 'tweet' more about Harrison's age and how he still has the body of a 30-year-old?Túrin Turambar said:Inspirational.

inky_skin said:I've always maintained that re-casting Indy wouldn't be the problem - replacing those other actors central to the Indy-verse would. I can think of several actors I'd like to see pick up the fedora, but no-one for the roles of Marion, Sallah or Marcus.
True, Harrison has remained in the limelight for the past 30 years whereas Fisher and Hamill haven't. Add to that the fact they don't look like they've looked after themselves physically and I think their appearance may come as a shock.Grizzlor said:Well we'll see him as Han Solo first of course, which I think could be quite a shock. Though not nearly as much as Hamill/Fisher I'd say.
I agree with you. But knowing Hollywoods liking for trying to add familar faces to make the audience feel comfortable I fear they would be tempted to use chracters from previous movies like Sallah, Marion and Brody in an adventure. It wouldn't surprise me to see a retread of ROTLA in the future too. Not that I'd liek to see that. I personally think any recasted movie in the future should be a stand alone thing to then try and get another series of films going.Lance Quazar said:If they do go the recast route, which I'm not particularly a fan of anyway, I would see no real reason to revisit those characters.
Sure, they're fan favorites and it's great to see your old friends return. Each of those guys were in 2 movies a piece.
But Indy's universe needs to feel large and expansive and the re-use of those characters contributed to that kind of "Star Wars" claustrophobia - the nagging feeling that the world of these characters was smaller than it should be.
Sure, you could recast Marcus if you needed the exposition to take place at Indy's home base. Otherwise, it's far preferable to come up with all new characters.

Grizzlor said:Neither TV nor Netflix offer Disney enough $$ to satisfy the production, marketing, and actor costs on a Harrison Ford-Indy project.
Pale Horse said:Why do you say that? Netflix is killing it with House of Cards...and they have a miniscule budget compared to the House of Mouse.
