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?

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
