Wait a minute... I thought they were going to reboot this with an all female cast...

That's the next step. Wait. I think that's the next Star Wars.

First Ghostbusters, now this...it's just sickening.

To anyone complaining about why they are even rebooting this, news flash - this will in no way impact your enjoyment of the Harrison Ford films!

There will be plenty of people who will enjoy this, you have no obligation to watch it or even accept it.

Count me in as another Chris Pratt supporter.

Yup, just do what I'm doing. Buy the Blu-rays of the original films and ignore this one. Problem solved.

I’d def. give a reboot a viewing if Pratt was Indy.

Although I’d rather see them do something where Indy “passes the torch” onto a new character rather than replacing Ford with Pratt as Indy.

However that means the franchise would be stuck in the 50s or even 60s and I prefer Indy in the 30s, a time when the type of serials Raider was a homage to were popular.

They could possibly get away with stories set between the original 3 movies.

Or maybe even set before Raiders.

I did that with the fourth Harrison Ford film too and am able to enjoy the hell out of the first three.

B. Cooper would be better.

I'm... actually cool with this. Way better than what some people are saying. Bradley Cooper? Hell no.

It would kind of mirror Harrison's career too. He went from Han Solo to Indy and Pratt would be going from Starboard to Indy. Makes sense.


It would be cool to do a pre- Raiders film, which could have characters we've heard about but never seen like Marion's father (Abner was it?)

Saw someone suggest Emily Blunt for Indy on twitter WHICH would be an amazing choice. Pratt already has The Lego Movie, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Jurassic Park franchises to lead. Give one to Emily! She definitely has the physicality and wit for the role.

Bradley Cooper? He has the wrong charisma. I can't see him doing a version of Dr. Jones. Not at all. He's not the right man for a movie like that, imo.

[Samus Aran]

This doesn't need to even be a reboot. Just set the movies around the other movies and keep it one big continuity.

And then cast Timothy Dalton as Henry Jones.

[blonde_devil]

Why don't they just create a new franchise? If Indy is based off of the old series movies, why can't they just create someone new in the same style instead of rebooting this character? I am getting a little tired of this recasting bit. When it is James Bond who existed in novels before the film, it is fine since the actor adjusts to the established role. With guys like Indy and James Kirk, the actor is atleast partially responsible for the character. Recasting/rebooting changes that character so why not create someone new? If you can't see Cooper or Pratt delivering the lines in the original films, then they shouldn't be rebooting with them since that is Indiana Jones.

[kobol]

Is this actually going to be a re-boot or a prequel, with these new movies taking place between the originals?

I have no understanding of all this Emily Blunt love. I understand the obsession with Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone, but Blunt? I dont get it.

Pratt would make a great Indy because he would probably be the character rather than "be an actor trying to act like Indy." That's why he was so good as Peter Quill. Basically he's the total opposite of what Johnny Depp and Meryl Streep do - acting self-aware that they are "awesome actors" and are not actually the characters they play but are just parodies of them. This also happened with Ford in Crystal Skull - he was too self-aware of how the character should act and ended up parodying the Indiana Jones character. Old age wasnt the problem. The problem is that his acting has been worse or too self-aware or self-consious to be believable in his last roles.

Are you saying that Sean Connery was not 'at least partially responsible' for the image of Bond that millions of people had (and still have) in their heads?

There can be dozens of Draculas and Sherlocks and Bonds and Batmans and Supermans but only one Indy or Kirk?

That seems a little arbitrary, no?

I loved John Astin and Carolyn Jones but Raul Julia and Angelica Huston were awfully good too.

Change can be good.
