Indiana Jones might get Rebooted
 
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 03-26-2014 11:09 AM

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

The Stryker 03-26-2014 11:59 AM

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.

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.

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?

/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.

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.

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 03-26-2014 03:57 PM

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 03-26-2014 04:03 PM

you can't do it without ford
 
at least just make a new one. where its based present day

Candy Kappa 03-26-2014 04:39 PM

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 03-26-2014 04:48 PM

Indiana Jones killing neonazis lol.

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

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

Andrew NDB 03-26-2014 06:02 PM

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 03-26-2014 10:58 PM

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?
