Pieter Boelen 740 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 The concept of Indiana Jones allows for SO many stories. They should have pulled a James Bond on it years ago.

Will there be an Indiana Jones universe, eventually, like Star Wars? Not like Star Wars, no. But we hope … right now, we're focused on a reboot, or a continuum and then a reboot of some sort. Reboot? You've got Harrison Ford for this movie, and then the presumption is there will be a younger … Well, we'll bring him back, then we have to figure out what comes next. That's what I mean. It's not really a reboot, it's a boot — a reboot. I don't know. THR has been using the term "requel" for these sequels that reboot the franchise. Requel. (Laughs.) We [got] Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones in the film. But then what's the direction? I've had discussions about what the direction is, [but] I don't want to get into it. But you do see making more films? Yes, I do. I don't think it reaches the scale of the universe of Star Wars, but I see making more. It won't be just a one-off. Also, there's this on Rogue One: Quote Should Star Wars fans be worried about Rogue One doing reshoots? I've seen Rogue One. I've seen not only an edited picture but I've seen significantly more footage than was even in that picture. That's actually going to be a fine film. 4 hours ago, Cerebral Cortex said: George Lucas to Executive Produce Indiana Jones 5 I saw this news earlier and was meaning to post it, but then I saw you'd beaten me to it!

But I quickly warmed to the idea because it will mean that Williams, Spielberg, Ford, and Lucas work together on the last original timeline film, which is how it should be. Although are the filmmakers really that limited if they keep the current timeline? It seems like there would still be a lot of room to tell interesting stories.

I kind of agree, but I don't exactly know why. I love The Lost World's script, even though most people bash that film. But it seems like the majority of the films he's written have been stinkers and Crystal Skull was inexcusably bad. But mostly everyone should have been fired after that fiasco. And by fired, I mean sacrificed to Kali in the fucking Temple of Doom. Williams can score, but he has to promise it won't be layers upon layers of dull and complex dissonance and atonality and the same old modern Mickey Mousing action music overloaded with xylophones and upper woodwinds. crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although are the filmmakers really that limited if they keep the current timeline? It seems like there would still be a lot of room to tell interesting stories. Yeah, I agree. There is this increasing tendency in Hollywood to just reboot instead of investing the time to make a worthy sequel (ex. Spider-Man.... twice). It gives me chills thinking that Star Trek V was almost the last Star Trek film to feature the TOS actors before rebooting. With bad reviews and a terrible box office performance, it definitely should have been, but the studio instead allowed for one last send-off, and thank God they did. Not nearly the same scenario in this case, but comparable in that I'm glad we're not ending the series with KOTCS. I respect Disney for pushing forwards with a sequel, and not just opting for the reboot route. Of course, if Spielberg comes to you wanting to make another Indiana Jones movie, you can't really say no, right? And it's not like KOTCS didn't make a lot of money at the box office so... I'm probably placing respect where maybe none is deserved. I dunno. I just think it's cool we're getting one last one from those four, just as you mentioned. I'm rambling. Sorry. 3 hours ago, Will said: Terrific news, it wouldn't feel quite right without him. Call me crazy, but I actually feel better knowing that Lucas will be involved.

If it wasn't for Lucas, we never would have had Indy in the first place, so I say he deserves to sit at that table with the other big boys.

While I have only watched each SW OT and PT film once, at this time I actually prefer the prequels to the originals. The originals are more fun, but the prequels are more interesting and emotional, IMO. They tell a tragic, beautiful, and intriguing story. Some hate the prequels because of their political complexity, but that's what I love about them. And ROTS is the most emotional film of the original six, and my favorite. The key is to look at the prequels as part of a larger story as opposed to as individual films. That's what Lucas intended the Star Wars saga to be (at the time he was making the prequels) -- one story told in six episodes. By the way, it's hard to say whether it was actually Lucas's intent to make SW a ring composition, but the Ring Theory is certainly an immensely interesting read. I read all 8 pages of it, and I think others should too before they go prequel-bashing. Because if this is what Lucas intended, then the prequels deserve to be placed at the pinnacle of filmmaking achievements: http://www.starwarsringtheory.com/ring-composition-chiasmus-hidden-artistry-star-wars-prequels/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
