Didn't the rights revert to someone else after so long? Or am I making that up?

~Harry, who wonders also, because we may not see the mountain fade to something else

I can't say one way or the other about the studio, but have you guys been reading Ford's comments about lately, on Coming Soon, about the film not being a sure thing? He says he's cautiously optimistic, but until the script is complete and agreed upon by all, its not a done deal.

it is going to be a Paramount film, i have said it to be so that ought to be good enough for everyone :mrgreen:

But if there are more doubters

you must believe what I say Why would I lie?

But the biggest news is that Calista Flockhart will be the female lead in the next Indy film I am sure this will be well received news.

Ally McBeal in an Indy movie???

God must not allot this to happen!

I have one thing to say:

HARRISON!! YOU HAVE BETRAYED SHEEBA!!!

-Rogue Leader who wishes Mola Ram's brother will show up and rip Flockheart's heart out.

You betrayed Shiva, just for the record :mrgreen:

Joe's right. It is Paramount. Lucasfilm owns the negative rights, but Paramount is still in the game. Sherry Lansing (the head of Paramount) has even been quoted about her excitment for the film.

I figured the rumor was complete trash the moment I read it, an opporuntistic angle (Ford's current girlfriend) to make ink. Who shot it down though? Official? Link? I want to hear someone official go to town on it.

I know it will be unpopular to say this. But i think a new Indy film would be a disaster waiting to happen. They were a style of movie which fitted the 80's like a glove and were classics of their time . But i can assure you that like the situation which has happened with the Star Wars movies, people will expect so much from this Indy film that they WILL go to the movie theatre setting themselves up to scrutinize it to pieces and will almost certainly be dissapointed. They will expect so much from JW's score, and will constantly compare that movie and score to the earlier ones. Wherever there is expectation, there is the potential for huge dissapointment. Therefore many people will not like this movie if they loved the original trilogy. My advice to the movie studios is "forget the idea". Harrison is too old to play the part now anyway. If they wanted to make more films, then they should of made them back to back at the time like they have been doing with these Harry Potter films. That way, the ambience of the era is kept intact. They had the potential to be a long list of amazing films at the time with all those comic book stories around. But with such a long gap since the last one it obvious that Spielberg and Lucas have changed their style now. Actors have changed a lot. Even JW has changed his style from the 70's and 80's scores. So i think we will get a poor imitation attempt at those classics if they attempt it.

(IMO) The best way to honour those movies would be to leave them alone.

I don't care if it's like the 80's Indy or not, I just want to be great, and Spielberg still has it and has never lost it.

Harrison is too old to play the part now anyway.

Non-sense, is Williams to old to compose? Is Gandalf too old to be a wizard? Is Yoda too old to be a Jedi master? Compared to them (them not really being human either), would an old indy be hard to believe?

Well Morn, do you think Harrison Ford was belivable in Six Days Seven Nights? I didn't. He's too old for the adventure role.

Plus, what need is there really for a 4th Indy adventure? Sure, we all want to see more of Indy. I want to see more of Indy. But let's face it. Indiana Jones is Harrison Ford in his forties. Not now that he's nearly sixty. He just isn't Indiana Jones. There can't be more of Indy in this decade.

I think it's too late for a fourth Indiana Jones. Everything has change -- the way we look at movies, the filmmakers' style, the demand . . .Even Spielberg's interests have changed. They just can't make a new classic Indy being honest.

It's like when you watch a TV show in its early episodes and then you watch in the final ones -- is it the same material? No. Things change, focuses change.

I say we better leave the saga alone with its head high up. That's one of the problems of being a collector: you get used to focusing on what you are to have instead of what you already have.

Well, he's not 80. 60 is not exactly the decade of your extreme frailty :)

I'm assuming that indy has kept his adventures up at least some of the time for 20 years, so he should be fairly fit

Morn - Who thinks even if an indy old seems absurd, it's better than no indy

And of course it will be a paramount RELEASE. Anybody thought the new SW triligy was not going to be 20th fox release?. That companies distribute the films, only.

Willow is 99% LucasFilm? i mean not a 20th fox-paramount, ect release?

99% because it was made with another company, but i'm sure that it was a little company...

I remember a time when I wanted to see more Star Wars films.

Well, dont blame me if Indy pulls out a pack of viagra upon meeting a girl. LOL

And i do think no Indy is better than this cash making attempt of ressurection.

I have no problem with old people Morn. Just with an over the hill Indiana Jones.

Each to their own though Morn. Its your freedom to go and watch it friend :)

You may also find that it is, I'll definately take the chance that it sucks for the chance of a great new indy film!

There's nothing to loose with a new indy movie...nothing. If the movie sucks, the first 3 will still be great. If it's as godd as the other 3, were in for a monumantal treat...so why should't we be happy withe the possobility of another brilliant film and score in the Indy world?

It could hardly be worse than Least Crusade.

Unless it sinks to A.I.'s level.

Well, I am glad that there will be another Indy movie.

And to compare Ford's role in 6 days 7 nights with his role in the Indy films is ridiculous.

Stop insulting movies I love  :D

I didn't insult Least Crusade. It was Lucas who insulted and killed a character that I love, therefore *I* felt very insulted when I saw that on the screen. And if you don't like my opinion, that's fine. But please don't distort it.

AOTC? Fairly good, but it's not living up to the star wars name.

Morn - Who is just annoyed with the consistent complaining about some of his fav films :D

I assume Ricard meant Indiana Jones' tie in Last Crusade. Makes him look more like a schoolboy to be an underling to Jones Sr. I'd figure. Ricard must not be a tie man. :D

Could have been worse. He could have been wearing a cravat or a bolo.

Perhaps in Indy 4...

Luke AOTC is fun, but it has so many flaws, on so many levels that it does even come close to being "one of the best films ever."

But if that is your opinion i'll respect it, naturally.

Stefancos- who respects everybody, even that cursed Potter and that vile Justin.

Thank you Neil.

My point exactly. I rest my case.

-ROSS, surprised at finding a quote from Star Trek interesting and worth writing down.

Well Lucas did not kill AOC. One of the best movies ever.

:|

:? never mind. At least stefancos was polite. MY favourite movie until EPIII i think :(. Well and about a DVD version, with possibly added footage and rescored music? (i'm talking of the 2006's DVD release, not the one this year) Will you like it more? I will (EVEN more). ANd i think that the only flaw is the inclusion of TPM music, not the editing of the AOTC one. And the saber colors. About that one, maybe Lucas has a surprise for us in EPIII. You know, Adi Gallia does not fight, and has a crimsom saber. Plo Koon had a yellow one, but in EPII he has windu's previous saber, which was blue, as it is in EpII. Ki-Adi mundi may have lost his saber. You know there are 10000 Jedi. Maybe the ones in EPII only had Blue and green sabers....

Anyways, it's my opinion. I'm a Star Wars Fan and i have a 'conditioned' opinion. But it was the SW movie i enjoyed more.

About the flaws it has, tell me. I can clarify someones to you, if they are plot, technological or thinks like Why owen does not remember C3PO in EpIV.

Well many people in USA are called xxxx xxxx Junior, and Henry Jones Senior seems the kind of person of telling hi son that way. About the tie, well in that years they wore them.

Of course. But that would be Henry Jr., or Henry Jones Jr. Not that "Junior!" that made him look like a schoolboy (along with the tie).

Too bad.

Of course, but Indiana Jones??? C'mon! LOL
