Indiana Jones 5 To Hit Screens By 2011?

Harrison Ford IS Indiana Jones ... just as Sean Connery is James Bond .. both irreplacable

Listen, I do not think you can find a bigger IJ fan than me but 4 was one of the worst movies I have ever had to endure. The premise had nothing in common with a traditional IJ film and it introduced way to many new characters without adequate development. On top of this, Shia's acting was painful.

Having said that, there is no way they can let the franchise end with that trash of a movie. I think this factor, far more than money, is the reason we will see an IJ 5. I am completely open to seeing Harrison and Spielberg back for as long as they can perform. Although I am more interested in seeing the franchise continue. I believe the right actor could take up the character without missing a step.

Say, Leonardo DiCaprio?

"If you replace Harrison Ford about half won’t come see it you won’t make alot of money hardly, none at all, i know i would not come see it!!!!!"... Harrison Ford Fan


So then if Harrison Ford were to be unable to play the part it is your opinion the franchise shoudl end?

I wouldnt go as far as to say that Ford is the best actor out there but he def is a great actor and holds a great deal of stage presence and respect. Taking that into consideration if they replace Ford with another Indie it wont be as good but it still may roll in some $$ if dfone correctly. I mean Ford is almost 70 now I think that it is safe to say that his vine swinging days should be virtually over. In my opinion at this point they ended off Indie 4 just fine with Indie getting married to the supposebly the love of his life and finding out he had a kid. we found out that his dad died and he was moved to ass dean. ALll good things for him and a happy ending.
MOVE ON

Pick a new actor- one who has lots of charisma and charm- and reboot the series in like a decade. I would hold off and do it later than sooner.
Indie can continue on.

If you replace Harrison Ford about half won't come see it you won't make alot of money hardly, none at all, i know i would not come see it!!!!!

Who ever says anything bad about Indiana Jones is not an Indiana Jones fan or has never seen Harrison Ford act because Harrison Ford is the best actor EVER!!!!

I 4got to add that i would love to meet Harrison Ford someday!!! I need his Address

I think Indiana Jones 5 is a Great idea, i think Harrison Ford is a great actor and no one could replce him, i am a huge Indiana Jones and Harrison Ford fan, i have all 4 Indiana Jones movies.
I think you should make another one even know Harrison Ford is 67 he is still a great young actor, i hope he lives 4 a long, long time!!!!! Don't listen to what anyone says about not making another one if they say no well then they are not an Indiana Jones fan!!!

I personally think IF they were to make another indy movie that it should not include shia. His being in the 4th movie completley ruined the tone in my opinion. Age is not so much a factor its the stars appearance and physical capibility. What would make a better film in my opinion is if it were to include sean connery. Agree with me or not that would get people into the theaters

I really have no problem with Harrison Ford.

Shia Laboeuf picking up the torch is my problem! He doesn't even LOOK like his supposed 'father'. If I was Indy, I'd be asking Marion for a paternity test!

@ Pelasgian

harrison will be 70 by then, did you realize his limited action scenes in the past movie? By the next one he will be fighting people off with a cane. Needless to say that while teh last one was good, it was not as good as the first 3 and the 5th is liekly to be worse. He got married and found out he has a son and went on his last quest already. Its teh happy ending the story needs. Another one would be a complete mistake.

I think you all putting your opinions and not having Harrison Ford back as his last adventure quest that can slose his chapter of being the greatest Mystic, Occult explorer of the planet.
No you are all wrong...sorry!
Why can't you rewind your comments and watch the last Crusade....
Now! Tell me what does that say...if you follow life in the carectors development? Since you all consider Indiana Jones are historical adventure movies.
Henry Jones was an Archaeologist...right, was he young or old before he pass the torch to Jr Indiana?

Was his last quest made him old and taken half of his life time to find the resting place of one of the mysterious religious artefacts, the Holy Grail?

Now think...please all this in the shoes of Dr Jr Jones now, to be similar incorporated if you will.
We all really want to see a real classic... does he have to end his exploring for the sake of all of you that like fast acation-orinted and making a buck of a franchise movie?
No I don't thinks so... Indy 5 needs to be a true classic a masterpiece as were his previous outings, Raiders, Temple and Crusade, and continue with the 4th Crystal Skull which for me was an very good movie but truly accurate to some extent, but had its let down, you all know that..A part of the extraterrestrials that is true, and I won't go back to explain to you how this story fits to a real event that happened on earth.

Indian It’s not James Bond, it’s not Jason Bourne, it not Terminator it’s not Rambo.
It about exploring the mysterious of the Occult.
Try understanding what does that sounds to all of you or perhaps some of you...
The movie needs to be character driven with flow of action and adventure that can emphasis the depth of the movie. The events and the character need to run the story not the action and special effects?

Like Conan the barbarian, there is hardly speech in the story of the movie but the scenery and character driven make us understand the story in a more complex way...
This is not a video game... its movie and we need to see the mat rarity of the character, because when people are older they are wiser and they can easily deal with advance knowledge. And EST.
I suggest you out of cariosity go back to my previous post and read.
And don't jump first to conclusions, first think and feel with the flow within then express yourself with limited use of your ego oriented brains.
I suggest you all educate yourself ,not make statement about crap like ideas, because some movies are meant to be like that they need to disclose something so will get the clue or the knowledge from our previous life times, ad teach us what to expect from our future.
Where do you think Nikola Tesla got his knowledge from to build generator and power transformers with less power and more voltage from? Was he a genie or was he being from other galaxy incarnated here in order to teach us something because we were still primitive in the last 1oo rears or so.
Another example Beethoven, Mozart, Leonardo da Vinci, Nicolai Copernicus, Giordano Bruno, were all these brains come from and why are artist depicted with knowledge before he drew the picture or paints it.
The same apply to movie screenwriters, their idea does not come from jus the wind it come from the main source people from the Creator of the Universe and it’s all connected.
It’s all been seeded by the Higher Reals, without them were would still be in Stone Age and fighting for survival.
I lot of you might think that I’m a mystic or Occultist, I tell you know, I’m not, I just have broad a point of view in life and more advance.

I will make this last comment and I’m, sorry to disappoint you but the saga has not ended yet with Ford.
Let’s give him the last quest of his life time to search the Lost Civilization of Atlantis or Lemuria or could be interesting story the Hall of Records, that the 19 century mystic and clairvoyant Edgar Cayce predicted at the end of the closing of the age of Pisces, Atlantis will be uncovered and raised from the deep of the Ocean.
Al this story can be put in the %the Indy movie, that knowledge can be continued, as the 4The one express it when he found the space ship, were the rest is hidden in the Hall of Records under the Sphinx in Giza .However he can go back to his old roots to Egypt and work together with his buddy Allah.
I can turn out to be the greatest adventure movie.

I agree... retire (Harrison) and Indiana Jones.

Leave this alone!
"The last crusade" was a great ending to the younger Indian Jones' life.

Then they came back with the "Crystal SkUll" which in in my opinion was not that bad (although cheezy and just ridiculous at parts but overall good). The Crystal Skull was pretty much Indie (Harrisoin Ford) saying good bye. I mean we learn taht his father is now dead, he has a son, and at the end he gets married and walks away. Great ending. He was portrayed as an old timer in the movie already so you really cannot use that same theme for a 5th movie.

And someone said cast him as the villain? No way, bad idea.
Also I cannot really see Shia taking over as a young Indie...he doesnt have the charisma, stage presence, looks, and prestige that Ford carried. Sorry.

I know that Lucas will be on board for another, Spielberg will be on teh fence, and Ford will be teh deciding factor.
All I have to say is, Harrison stay AWAY, you went out on a high note with this franchise, as you did with the star wars series, and you have had some excellent movies in the past. YOu definetly have teh money so dont ruin our image of you.

Viggo Mortensen?
Maybe Eric Banna?
Not Shia!

Both excellent action stars, with the right touch of Indianna 'cockiness'.

Eric Banna in particular can play heroic and goofy at the same time. He would make a great Indiana. Viggo is just so fantastic, I feel he has the physical presence to be Indiana.

I think Shia is too darn 'Hugh Grantish' to be a serious contender for the crown. His performance as 'Mutt' was quite unbelieveable. I could not think of him as Indiana's son at all.

790 - Replace SPielberg? Hmm tat woudl probably not be a good idea but dropping Lucas wouldn't be a bad one!

LMAO,EdCarden if your going to make all those changes you'll have to replace Steven Speilberg. I just don't see him siding with your ideas.
;-)

Who could fill the shoes of Indianna Jones if Harison Ford were to retire from the role?

How about Hugh Jackman or Gerald Butler?

Both have proven to be excellent actors with action movie skills as well as box office draws.

Anyone else have any suggestions on IJ replacements?

Make it but seriously consider pass the torch somehow although NOT, I repat NOT to Shia.

Shia is a fine actor but he's NOT Indianna Jones. Even though Harrison Ford is a great actor would it have made sense to cast him as the new Sam Wigwikki in Transformers 2? Of course not. Shia is just not the right fit for an Indianna replacement.

I also think it would be better to replace Harrison Ford with a younger actor as the new Indianna Jones then to have Indianna's son take over the adventuring. I don't believe most fans will be that upset since Ford is hitting the upper years of his life. It also is not fair to him to expect him to keep doing IJ movies and its not fair to anyone else to not do any IJ movies without him.

The entire Indianna Jones phenom should revolve around the character and not the actor as with the James Bond character. Imagine if they stopped JB films after Sean Connery had left; we would not have the great Casino Royale or the incredible Quatum of Solace.

In ID5 they should either use Ford and make it clear that this is his last round as Indy or get another actor who is suited for the role and perhaps cast Ford in the movie as another character. What would be really great in ID5 would be to cast someone new as Indianna and cast Harrison Ford as the lead bad guy. I bet Harriosn Ford would enjoy the change and it would be something new in Hollywood movies; something that has not happened in a very long time.

Indy 5 - not such a bad idea!

@Pelasgian, how do you know Atlantis and the Hall of Records haven't already been discovered? If so, they would be kept from the general population. We would never hear of anything and all the technology would be surpressed and used for military applications.

I Think the 4 Indy was belivable , i know lot of you here are debating that, but if i tell you some strange story you probubly won't belive it, and i was wondering, how did Lucas and Spileberg come with this idea of Ailens, Extraterestials?
The story goes as follows.
12,000 years ago a space ship landed on Earth with the extraterestials(Space astranauts?, the reason was they landed to repair the space ship, beacuse was damaged by some cosmic magnetic field, or from the astriods in the vasinity of the belt.now those extraterestials could not repair their space ship, istead they buried the ship under the mountin in the ancint times and left a conifurm kind of writing or text, in order when the future gemneration become advance enogh, with technolgy they would be able to deciphery the script and find out why there was buried a space ship under the mountin, that the mountin is situated near a lake.
The austranauts died of a terrible virus that they encountered on their planet, all their pouplation died and their planet got destroyed by the sun similar to the Crypton of the movie Superman. The survivors wanted to leave and to find a sutiable planet and to restart their life with populating it and spreading their vast advance civilization. As a matter of factbut they got cought up in this solar system and had to quickly land on earth, but it was to late for them to find querer for their virus, that one of the crew had it and spread quickly to others in the ship.
The last one was sirviving and buried the spaceship under the mountin left some writings that was the trail to the secret resting place of the space ship.Unfortunatly that tablet has not been found yet,but there is prophecy that a future nation in the world in the 2012 as the Myans predicted, this world will be uncoverd of all these mysterious, and find the true meaning behind the crystull skulls, there were 13 of them in all.In these coming years they will find the space ship, not only that the whole histroy of theis world is recorder in the spaceship in crystalin structure of some record keeper, that is strored similar as the crystall skulls, that were left by some advance civilization in the past epoch.
I won't discose the nation and the country were the spasheip is buried, i've just heard it's been keept for secret untill the right moment comes, untill the War, Poverty, rasism, killings, Abussings,and e.ts is stoped.
The same goes for the Shinx and the great pyramid of Kefren in Egypt, the hull of regords will be revield by the end of this epoch, and the return of the Light Brotherhood, that they helped buled all these in the past Civilization, Smmer, Egypt-Ethiopia, Maya, Rama (India), YU(China,Mongolia and Tibet), Ionia, Inkun(Peru), Atlantis, Lemuria, Mu(Pasific)and E.T.C.
Quiet intriguing isn't it...!

Let's continue hope that they will continue the Indiana Jones franchise as someone mentioned Ford has sign for 5 so he has one more to go before her rtires hands the wip and hat to some younger actor Shia.
Now all these movies are teeling us something it's not about the archology it's about the secrets that lie on this Erth and soon they all have to come out from the serfice.
They should make this one of a heluva adventure either finding Atlantis or Lemuria, that could close the chapter of the Indie saga and also will be the closing of this age of Pisces and headin in the Age of Aquarius as the Maya Prophesy.

Lol, Caroluz,,, Harrison Ford has a nice 401K plan and its called, " Indiana Jones, and who cares what the title is".

"Coming 2011"

lol. 790
=D
huahahaha..

There gonna make it with Shia, he's going to take the torch from Ford. Everyone will hate it and it will make 900 million dollars.
So just deal with it now,,, :-)
Bitch and rant nothing will stop this from happening. Maahh aahhhaaahhaa!

he could be like indys other ilegitimate overweight scared of everything son ahaha.

i could see it now hes like , PAPA! IM GONNA SWING OVER... WITH MY WHIP... OK... HERE I GO... AAAAHH- (very high pitched and very little girlish) and he never even got off the ledge. then he sees a snake screams SNAKE!! (again high pitched and girly) and falls into his swing.

lol

Indianas next sidekick should be WILL FERRELL

LOL god that would be awesome.

'It's not they years, honey, it's the mileage' Indiana Jones to Marion Ravenwood, 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'

All I can say is; what a pity that River Phoenix is dead.

I don't know. The 4th movie wasn't bad but there were some screwy elements and I wasn't a fan of Mutt either. I'd say just leave it alone. I'd be all for it if Ford were at least 10 years younger but it's too late now.

Maybe the franchise can be revived in a few years with a new actor in the role who could go on other adventures that interweave with the original 3 movies.

As much as I like Indy, he should be laid to rest. Let hollywood come up with something new already.

Do NOT let George Lucas near the next film...all I have to say on the matter.
