I think the plot must be a prequel from CRYSTAL SKULL. Indy's marriage is an ultimate ending for Indiana Jones (LAST CRUSADE has also a superb ending for the trilogy).

[Josh500]

Yeah.... well. I'm ecstatic (said he, and yawned). Though it could be years before they settle on a script.

BTW, I agree with this sentiment 100%: Though the excuse for making this fifth film is that they all had a blast making the fourth, I hope the true motivating factor is "We're sorry, and we can do better."

With Lucas it's that way: "Well, there will always be some who won't like it, so why should we bother...?"

Dunno whether you really mean that or just being facetious, but I'm sure GL also wants to make a movie that satisfies the fans (more or less).

I think he showed that when he brought in Spielberg for RotS.

I was bloody serious. Despite my immense respect for his (true) achievements, I believe he has lost his understanding of what fans expect and why they don't like his modern flicks. He needs to get out of his own world and come back to touch with the reality.

HAHAHAH. That's a nice way of saying you didn't like the prequels.

After all, Indy 4 is just one movie!

I like Episode I. I really do.

I like all the prequels.

It's just that I love Episode I and (to a degree) Episode III.

They just have to make Ford younger.

Maybe it's a backstory of Raiders.

Ford will need LOOOTS of makeup.

[John Crichton]

Eh, just tape up his face like Ian Holm in Fellowship.

[Diego]

Lucas is completely disconnected from the rest of the world, I don't think he cares what the fans want at all. After the prequels, KOTCS and Clone Wars there's no doubt the man is not who he used to be.

[Nick Parker]

I bet it is that neck of his...no normal neck can look like that, it must be a parasite controlling his thoughts and actions!

Not really. THE TEMPLE OF DOOM is set on 1935, one year before RAIDERS (1936) starts. RAIDERS is released on 1981 and three years later TEMPLE OF DOOM. Hypothetically, you can say that TOD is a prequel from RAIDERS! And Ford does not look like older on TOD!

I think Indy 5 have to start on 1955, two years before CRYSTAL SKULL. I think you cannot see the differnce from his age.

[Josh500]

I want the Nazis back!!

No more Russian femme fatales...

[Nick Parker]

Why would they pit Indiana Jones against Nazis again?

However, you did get me to wonder who they will pit Indiana Jones against....

[Josh500]

If you read carefully, I simply said I want the Nazis back.

They were just better villains. More fun, too, somehow.

[Neimoidian]

No, we have to have something fresh. This time he will fight against... Arab terrorist.

Bwaaahahahah.

Indiana Jones against the Arabs. Maybe they'll bring in Chloey O'Brien too!

[Nick Parker]

I agree, and I think it is partly because they played into the propaganda serials of World War II (especially in the case of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade).

Hm, for some reason I doubt they would use Russians again...maybe they will stay away from a military force all together?

[Diego]

Maybe he'll find another crystal skull, only this one will be shaped like E.T. and it's a link to the upcoming E.T. 2!

[Josh500]

Hmmm, I can't help but feel that it will be Indy after the marriage, mainly because I'm positive they'd want to bring Shia back.

[Diego]

Indiana Jones and the Lawyers for the Speedy Divorce??

[Luke Skywalker]

Lucas makes independent movies for his own pleasure.

so if you dont like them, he doesnt care.

they will use some strange cult this time, and the russians will return for the next movie, just like the OT

It can't be a prequel to KotCS, as Shia is involved.

[Josh500]

Hmmmm, I'm somehow getting the feeling that they're gonna speed this thing up.

Maybe we'll see the release even next summer!

If they're serious about this, they won't play around with the script for 5 years (let alone 10) this time around.

Okay ... I don't understand why everybody seems to think the Nazis should be the only villains Indy fights. It's a series of films about adventure and discovery, yet people think he should have the same adversaries every time. Amazing.

This sounds as reliable as your feeling that Spielberg wants to make it up to the fans. You know, the sort of tentative statements we're hearing now are the same as the sort that had been made about Crystal Skull as early as about 1995.

It's not every time. ToD, KotCS.

OK, suggest an enemy then. And remember it should have some historical significance.

[Luke Skywalker]

i would like it to be a prequel, so the relationship with mac can be expanded. And he could be a fun sidekick, since he would act 'clean' this time...

You're just a contradictory and annoying dude, aren't you? I said I "have a feeling"...

So you have a different feeling. So?

[Joe Brausam]

My prediction for a release date is May 2011.

Figure they get the script off the ground soon and start preproduction this fall, filming in Spring or Summer 2010, then post, then a release in May 2011.

Could be. But I have a feeling Spielberg will release some other movie between now and Tintin. And it won't be in 2011.

Um ... You stumped me, Josh! I concede to you that there is no other suitable villain in the entire history of the world for Indiana Jones to fight than the Nazis. In the 1950s. Exactly.

[Henry Buck]

Okay.

[Josh500]

Is this official, btw?

I mean, Frank Marshall saying "we're working on it" might be the same as JW saying "yeah, I wanna to DH."

I'm still hoping for Lincoln to fill the gap!

[Josh500]

Maybe Spielberg will release all 3 movies in 2011, just to keep JW on his toes.

[Nick Parker]

I'm still hoping for Lincoln to fill the gap!

I am starting to doubt it will be made. Steven Spielberg has 50 films in production, it seems, and he gets the rights for a new one every week. I bet he would place higher priority on the Martin Luther King film, as well.

Well, he might be working on 50 projects, but I think there are only a handful he actually plans to direct himself.
