Ok so the camera fades in to a press conference with Lucas and Spielberg. They say something like "We're sorry but there will be no fourth installment of indiana jones. We apologize to our loyal fans" the scene fades into a reporter interviewing harrison ford, "Well things can't always be the way you want 'em to be" then it cuts to harrison ford dressed as Indy, "but sometimes they are" cue raiders march. INDIANA JONES AND THE ____________ Flashes onscreen *whip cracks* SUMMER 2008 :D

For a few seconds, nothing. Then Sean Connery's voice: "In the beginning, there was light and darkness." The screen glows and fades to black again. Original music starts to build. "Land and sea..." CGI mountains explode from the oceans, then shadows lengthen to darkness again. "...field and forest." Plants and trees grow at a rapid pace. "Moon and stars." The heavens spin, Greek constellations flash briefly. "Birds and fish..." Animals swarm in slow motion. "...snake and beast." A herd of horses gallops and the music swells to compete with the thunderous noise. "A tree of life..." a fruit tree branches and blossoms in Eden. "...and one man..." A silhouette rises over the horizon. The Raiders march is familiar now. "...to find it." The silhouette puts on his hat and becomes visible. For only the first 4 and last 4 bars of his theme, Indy smirks and struts to a precipice, and we zoom out. At the crescendo, the title: "Indiana Jones and the First Covenant". On the final note, "Summer 2008".

That would hold me over for a year.

Ok, I'll give this a shot....

Paramount logo, fades into the Great Pyramid of Giza. The Sun is rising in the desert, and you can hear the "Ark" theme. From the rising sun, we see a silohette of the man in the hat riding a horse against the rising sun. The theme turns into the "Raiders March". We see old scenes of the previous films in sepia, with a voice-over telling us, that "Just when you thought it was over." We then see characters re-appearing from previous films. We see a close up of Karen Allen in Raiders, then a close up of her in Indy IV in the Raven's Nest. And she punches Indy.

INDY:
What was that for?

MARION:
For leaving. But since you're back.

Marion and Indy pash. Henry Jones, Snr Close up from LC, then from Indy IV in the museum.

HENRY JONES SNR:
You sure you want to do this, Junior?

INDY:
Why would I be doing this, if I didn't want to?

Sallah from Raiders, LC then Indy IV. Sallah and Indy are in a darkened temple cave. Sallah and Indy with torches are walking through, then hear a loud sqeaking sound.

SALLAH:
Bats!

INDY:
Better than snakes though.

Title for Indy IV, "INDIANA JONES AND THE......."

"SUMMER 2008."

And I thought of this, off the top of my head.

one of the best threads in recent years. great idea! in reality as opposed to wonderful fan fantasies I wish that they're not overdoing the selfreferential potential of the marketing campaign...it shouldn't be too odd or obvious. a little hint on the twelve year gap...our time we spent waiting, though....is a must!!!!!;)

I thought it would be neat if Harrison had to break in and retrieve his hat from the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in D.C. But, nah... too insidery.

The way to sell it is to announce they have a fantastic story, and Indy was made for it, and Ford is still made to play Indy.

Thanks, Doctor Jones'89. People usually hate my ideas at film school and end up using them anyway. I'd more than happy to see if Mr. Lucas uses this idea! Probably not though. :p
Thanks for the thumbs up, Gotro. ;)

*lol* great idea though. they could do some special trailer editions (for the fans that spent 12 years on a message board waiting for indy IV, put it on dvds with a behind the scenes featurette, stuff it in a wooden box and become even richer.

but really...a very cool idea indeed ....maybe we have to do it ourselves.

He's right here. My connection has been a ***** lately. Anyway, I'll give it a go.

Okay, we see the Paramount logo and there is total silence until the camera fades in on the back of a figure standing in a dark museum hallway facing an exhibit which he is blocking our view of. Because of the light from inside the exhibit we can only see the man's silhouette. At this time slow, quiet, mysterious music starts as only John Williams can deliver, but it's not a familiar tune.

A disembodied voice sounding like a man in his fifties (let's call him Green)says, "So who is this guy?"

[Fade to black].

[Fade in] A dark room with two guys sitting at a table with their backs to the camera, both smoking cigarettes. The camera angle right at their shoulder height. The only light in the room is coming from one of those dim lights that hangs down over the middle of the table. There is an empty chair on the other side of the table and behind the chair there is a door. The guy on the left (let's call him Red) takes a drag from his cigarette and says, "He's a professional... from Chicago. Trust me, he knows about this kind of stuff."

[Fade to black]

[Fade in] Following behind the figure walking down the hallway for a few seconds. Green's disembodied voice says, "So you've met him?"

[Fade out and back to the table room.] This time the camera angle is from behind Green's chair facing Red's right side. Red looks over the camera at Green and says, "Well, no."
Green: (annoyed) We can't afford to lose any more time, Red. What makes you so certain that this is our man?

[Fade out and back to the dark hallway] Close up of the figure's shoes walking.
Red: He has quite a reputation in certain circles. He's been all over the world, knows 17 different languages. [cut to in front of the figure now heading for the camera, still too dark to make out any features]
Red: He's made some very significant finds in his day. Several of the most elusive artifacts in this museum were donated by him.

[Cut to the table room] Camera this time facing Red and Green
Red: Just trust me, Green, this man comes highly recommended. We wouldn't want anybody else. (Takes another drag and leans back in his chair)
Green: (puts his cigarette out in an ash tray which is revealed to be sitting next to some ancient scroll and there is a four second pause) What's his name?

(Cut to right outside the door just as it opens to reveal Red and Green sitting at the table. They both snap their heads to the direction of the figure walking in.)

(Cut to right behind Red and Green and the figure has his head facing down because he is putting on a hat)

(Cut to close up of Red as he stands up)
Red: Doctor Jones I presume?

(Close up of the figure's face as he raises his head and light reveals him to be none other than...)

Figure: Sorry, old boy. I think you have me mistaken for somebody else.

Green: (stands up outraged) And who the hell are you?!

Figure: Bond, James Bond.


CASINO ROYALE rolls across the screen.




Okay, okay. I couldn't resist. Here's how it really goes:

Red: Doctor Jones I presume?

(Close up of the figure's face as he raises his head and the light reveals him to be none other than...)

Indiana Jones: You bet your sweet ass. (Or something Indy would say).

We hear the tail end of a suddenly very familiar John Williams tune and see the title. Indiana Jones Goes To Camp (or something better) and a vague teasing release date. (preferably a month in 2007 or 2008).

That would be a nice homage to Ford's appearance in the Young Indy series as well! (I guess that was your intention.)
