Indiana Jones might get Rebooted

[TigerClaw]

According to Latino Review, If Indiana Jones 5 does not get made and Harrison Ford can't do the role any longer, The studio is looking to rebooting the franchise by casting a younger actor.

The studio seems interesting in getting Bradley Cooper to play Indiana Jones.

lame, Harrison is and always will be Indiana Jones, he is what makes the movies so great!

[TurtleTitan97]

Yeah, i can't say I support this. Harrison Ford will always be Indiana Jones.

[The Stryker]

Good! The Indiana Jones character is nothing more than male fantasy and having some bumbling old man in the role was lame as sh*t. I love Ford but he just can't play Indiana Jones anymore and the whole 'HE'S OLD' angle really dragged down Crystal Skull.

I'd be perfectly fine with Indiana Jones becoming sort of a James Bond franchise. I don't think Harrison Ford is the only guy that can pull that character off. It's not exactly complex or layered.

[Candy Kappa]

Awesome. At least they don't continue the "legacy" with Mutt Jones, that character was... Not good.

But, I'd rather see something "new and original", there's been so many half-baked remakes lately.

[Leofan26]

If they can't get him back for the next film just let them stay dead.

It's bad enough they are re making Star Wars again with talks of Zak Efron playing the lead role.

Sorry for the over reaction but :lol:

Wonder how the fandom will react?

[BlueKatanas]

/film just debunked this rumor thank goodness, because it ruined my whole morning.

Zac Efron is fantastic. He'd be awesome for the new Star Wars.

If these Bradley Cooper rumors are true, I'd love for them to reboot the franchise. The James Bond route would definitely be better than remaking the originals.

[TMNT_Guy]

I was hoping we'd get one more Indy film with Harrison Ford. They really need to have a better film for Ford to end his character on.

Crystal Skulls was terrible, but it wasn't because Harrison Ford is old and can’t play Indiana Jones anymore. An older Indiana coming out of retirement and showing that age hasn’t slowed him down would have been awesome. But instead we have Mutt Williams to constantly remind the audience that Indy is old while cool cat Mutt makes bad hair combing jokes. The whole movie feels like a comedy rather than a genuine adventure film “Oh man! I can’t wait to see what wacky hijinks this old man and his son have next!”

Of course the movie had more problems than just that, but it was the one I was the most disappointed with.
The James Bond route would definitely be better than remaking the originals.
I agree. As long as they get someone charismatic enough, I’d like to see a new series of Indiana Jones movies. I just hope they don’t hire the Indiana Jones equivalent of Daniel Craig. I still haven’t seen Skyfall because I found him boring in Casino Royale and couldn’t stand him in Quantum of Solace. Maybe we could finally get that Fate of Atlantis adaptation fans have been asking for since 1992.

[Kurai]

This is a bad idea. I'd rather no more Indiana Jones films were made than the franchise getting rebooted/another sequel was made. Krystal Skull shows that Harrison's a bit too old to be playing the role, but I'm not comfortable with the idea of starting afresh and having someone else play the role. He made the role his own, and I doubt anyone else can play the character. It's the same way that Sarah Michelle Gellar made Buffy her own, and I can't see anyone else in the role.

[turtlefanforever]

at least just make a new one. where its based present day

[Candy Kappa]

Not sure if Indiana Jones would have worked in a modern setting, it's a period piece with adventure and exploration.

We got National Treasure and Tomb Raider for modern treasure hunters.

[AT-Man]

Indiana Jones killing neonazis lol.

That's good to know. And to think Latino Review, a site that often reports stuff that's credible.

And the Uncharted games.

[Candy Kappa]

And the Uncharted games.

Sure, when it gets it's own movie adaptation.

[Andrew NDB]

Apparently Harrison worked into his Episode VII contract that in order for him to do it he'd have to be leading an Indiana Jones 5... so I guess we're guaranteed at least one more outing for Ford.

Personally, no interest in them recasting Indiana Jones, no interest in them doing some kind of follow up to the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, and no interest in them passing the torch to some new character like Mutt.

[CyberCubed]

People actually didn't expect them to reboot and recast Indiana Jones eventually? I don't see why, they do this for virtually any long running movie franchise.

I bet when Back to the Future and E.T. and The Mummy and Men in Black all get reboots you guys will be shocked too?

Well, if you're referring to the 1999 The Mummy movie, it is a remake to begin with, and MIB is based of a comic book, so it wouldn't be a remake, but a re-adaptation.

The new Indy:

I'd watch it, the guy is amazing.

[Memphis]

^^^ I concur.

It's not they won't reboot, it's more they shouldn't reboot

Stepping in here, without reading anything, to say two things.

Rebooting/remaking something doesn't stop the originals from existing, so anyone who's mad needs to get over it.

We're getting to the point where those of us beginning to reach our 30's and 40's are going to increasingly remember things that walking, talking, functioning human beings will have no knowledge of. To us Harrison Ford is Indiana Jones, probably forever, but when the next generation of adults comes along that may not be the case. This happened to US and most of us probably don't know the difference. It's something we have to accept as we get older and those of us who've been here in the TMNT community long enough to have been talking about the OT are getting MAD old.

[CyberCubed]

Besides they rebooted Star Trek and recasted Kirk and Spock and did it matter? No.

I understand what your saying, but why can't they leave it alone? If we only ever got the 4 Indiana Jones movies ever, surely that is enough? Not everything that gets made needs to be rebooted, it's hell'a boring for a start.
