A New Future For Indiana Jones?

By Katey Rich (http://www.cinemablend.com/about.php#Katey Rich): 2008-01-08 23:33:33

http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news_img/7417/7417.jpg We live in a sequel-hungry world, in which the audiences are dying for the next installment and the filmmakers are dying for the money that’s guaranteed to roll in once they make the next one. Sure it means our children’s children will be watching Shrek: The Shrekpire Fights Back, but hey, tradition’s tradition.

We’re all well aware that one of the original sequel franchises, Indiana Jones, is heading back for another go-round, but would you guess they’re trying to keep this one kicking for another few decades too? It sounds a bit like wild, hopeful speculation, but Vanity Fair (http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2008/02/indy_update200802) is reporting that none other than Shia LaBeouf is set to inherit Indy’s whip and fedora.

The evidence? Well, in the Vanity Fair photo shoot for this month’s cover, Shia’s wearing a black leather jacket, and Harrison Ford is wearing a brown one. And, uh, the Internet has been claiming for a while that LaBeouf plays Indy’s son in the movie, though no one attached will confirm it. Most convincing though, at least according to Jim Windolf, who’s writing the article, is the following exchange with Steven Spielberg:

“When I asked him why he hadn’t gone forward with the Indy IV script written by writer-director Frank Darabont, he said, “In this case George [Lucas] was passionate that this was not the story he wanted to tell at this point in the Indiana Jones saga …” Noting that he had used the magic phrase “at this point,” I followed up by asking him, “Is that leaving room open for another one?” To which Spielberg replied, “Oh, I don’t know. I haven’t even thought about that. I’m still in the cutting room. I can’t even think beyond the next cut.”

Well... OK, if you say so. I am personally not setting up my spot in line for tickets to Indy Jr., The Next Frontier just yet, but coming off a sequel-tastic summer like 2007, anything is possible. Will the world accept another Indiana Jones, particularly one with a name like Shia? (Say what you will about Harrison Ford, but damn if that name doesn’t convey gravitas). Keep watching until this summer, when the box office numbers for Kingdom of the Crystal Skull will make the sequel decision for everyone.

The whole "at this point" comment is total bullspit. Any point in a greater saga doesn't have to be in the middle - it can be the end. I don't know much about the woman who wrote this "article," but I can tell you she's a moron. That's not to say there couldn't be a sequel, just that her argument is lame.

It's unlikely. Not only is Spielberg extremely busy, not only will Ford be simply too old in a few years, but Spielberg himself is coming towards the end of his career (he's 61), so there is a lot of stuff he wasn't to fit in he hasn't done yet.

I can easily see a spin-off about Shia's character produced by Spielberg and written by Lucas, but as for Spielberg directing that or Indy V, no.

I agree. If we get a spin-off it'll probably just be produced by Spielberg. Although...Spielberg had nothing to do with the Young Indiana Jones tv series so this may just be a George Lucas thing.

His jacket seems like it fits his personal asthetic more then anything to do with him emulating Indy. He's supposed to be a 50s greaser, and they wore black leather jackets.

Mr. Crumb

01-10-2008, 01:45 PM

^ Agreed about the leather greaser jacket and the times.

Even though its been said...hate the idea of Labeouf potentially taking over this franchise. Yikes! If Indy aint the main attraction, I am not interested.

Thx but no thx. If Harrison can pull this off, I say go for more if they can think of good stories, or just end it here if the ending is perfect for the character.

Then Ford can go back to his Firewall type movies again, which he seems to love in Spades.

Shia's really grown on me. I used to think he was just another annoying Disney kid who would fade into obscurity, but he can actually lead a film as Transformers proved. What I think could really push him into super leading man status would actually be if he could take down the sarcastic nerdy act a notch. Not that I don't like it, but it will get old and most leading men have to show the ability to be strong as well as funny and relatable (Ford is a prime example of that). Since we know that Shia's Indy charcter is a greaser, therefore "cool", and he's in another new action flick that could help.

(in James Lipton voice) If you haven't seen Mr. Baseball...rent it. Buy it. Watch it a thousand times, and place it in a vault, willing it to your grandchildren on your deathbed so that they may watch it a thousand times in turn.

I think Ford gets a lot more crap for the movies he makes than he deserves. Eastwood was really making some turkeys from 1995 til 2002, and Connery...well, he's made more than his share.

Spider-Vader

01-12-2008, 12:58 AM

Have they had characters/movies like Indy? Bond doesn't count because Connery got replaced.

Kent

01-12-2008, 07:32 AM

Clint Eastwood was Dirty Harry. And I don't see why it matters that someone else played Bond after Connery, so unless you can motivate that...

Spider-Vader

01-12-2008, 03:28 PM

Anyone can play Bond, he doesn't have an memorable actors to the casual fan.

Cagefighterkip

01-12-2008, 03:40 PM

i think the only way we can constantly recast bond is they did a new bond all the time in the 60s switching between Connery, Moore, even Lazenby. so switching isnt a big deal... heck, even Spielberg wanted to recast Indy at one point so every few yrs or so there could be a huge amount of Indy movies (like there are bond movies). if they didnt use harrison in indy3 i think you could recast indy - but you cant anymore. which is fine, because ford is awesome...

Stryder

01-12-2008, 04:00 PM

Why would there be any reason to recast Ford? Unless you are portraying a younger Indy like River Phoenix did. Also I dont see many young archeaologists kicking rocks. Its an old farts profession.

It's not characterized as an "action figure" on the packaging. The Indiana Jones figure is called an action figure, by the skeleton is merely a "figure." And given that one of the other items is the Ark of the Covenant, I wouldn't expect movement.

i dunno-
but (i think it was DISC 4 of indy dvds) that spielberg said every couple films itd be a new actor, like a bond movie series.

scifiwolf

01-13-2008, 09:19 PM

The whole recasting thing was the original idea, part of Spielberg's old desire to do a James Bond flick. I highly doubt he still has the same sentiment on that topic 30 years later.

Lord Blackbolt

01-13-2008, 09:37 PM

I'm sure they would have recast him as River Phoenix if he had not died.....then they did the TV show with another actor....and if that show was a hit...MAYBE...maybe that actor would have become a new indy as well. Things just didn't turn out well.

But when you think about it...there's been like 5 actors that played Indy already anyway. The same amount as Bond.

The-Dark-Knight

01-13-2008, 09:49 PM

I cant help but think this might be another Phantom menace, Lucas is known to be a greedy bugger. It'd be nice if the film was good (not as good as The Dark Knight but good) but i still have my reservations.

Also im sure when connery was bond people couls see no one else playing him, its the same with ford and indy, the same with Keaton and Batman. Though i think when Ford gives up so will the character.

But that just brings me back to Lucas being a greedy bugger.

I still have confidence in this film because of Spielberg. I know some will say, well "The Lost World" disappointed, but then I think he didn't want to make the lost world, but he sure as hell wanted to make this. I think it'll be good, we all just have to look forward to what the trailer shows us.

The Lost World, War of the Worlds, 1941... all abd SPielberg flicks. So what, 3 bad out of 49 good movies. Somehow, I think this will be good because Lucas isnt directing OR writing. He only came up w/the story and produces (like Raiders, Temple of Doom, Crusade)... I'm sure we'll be fine.

The Lost World was simply average, which I guess was a disappointment after Jurassic Park. War Of The Worlds suffered from a bad ending, rest was fine. Haven't seen 1941. Even Speilberg's worst films are pretty good.

For some odd reason, 1941 gets a bad rap, along with HOOK.

The only people that I've 'encountered' who didn't like Hook are online people. NOBODY online can tell why Hook sucked, besides the use of Robin Williams. I swear to you! I swear to you!

01-14-2008, 06:52 PM

I am so going to try not to spoil this movie for myself. The little I do know, I'm happy with. And what I do know about the film is not much.

I was a little annoyed at first, calling it Indiana Jones and the Walker of Doom, or Indiana Jones and the Last Rest Home, but I started getting more excited about it. Especially after seeing Ford in the costume again, even though he looked old.

I got really into it though when I saw the movie poster last month in the movie theater. It looked just like the other classic Indy posters, it felt so comfortable, so right. Like seeing a favorite family member again after not seeing him for a long time.

Can't wait to see what the next adventure will be for Dr. Jones.

Tonally, I imagine KINGDOM will feel as much its "own film" as TEMPLE and CRUSADE do. It won't feel exactly like any of the others, but hopefully still carry an Indiana Jones vibe.

I know Hook is a massive critical flop, but I can't recall how it did at the box office. Personally, I love that movie. I was 7 or 8 when it came out, so naturally it brings me back to my childhood whenever I see it on TV.

Hook was a blockbuster. It did very well...

However Spielberg himself considers the film a disappointment...something about corporate interference (believe it or not, it was Mattel) clashing with his making of the film.

Ok, so I was just checking out TheRaider.net, and they contacted Paramount about the Indy trailer. Apparently, "at this point no plans have been finalized at all regarding when the trailer will premiere." So between the Super Bowl on Feb 2 and Valentines Day, citing either date would still be speculation. All I know is, if they don't get it out soon, a lot of people will be pissed at the handling of the marketing.

The Indy movies still hold up because they didn't have synthesized scores like 80's movies did. They were always class, and as glad as I am that people are excited that this is coming out, I'm disappointed they never saw the potential until it was announced. Only when the production stills were released did the online haters say, "This will be awesome", when all they had to do was watch the previous three. I always wanted to see this, but standing up for this movie throughout the years was as frustrating as defending Daniel Craig when he was cast as Bond. :huh:

I personally dont think a score can make a movie bad or "hold it up" films like ferris buellers day of are classics just because its a great look at the eighties and more importantly a funny film its the same with films like Batman (1989) and ghostbusters (1984) sure they look dated and have distinctly "eighties" music but they are still great movies.:yay:

And i still think Craig hasnt got the mix of english class and ruthless killer in him to be a great bond.:oldrazz:

Damiean Dark

Its probably cheaper/beneficial for Paramount that a Paramount owned syndicated entertainment show to air the teaser (probably hyping it up all week) and to attach it to a Paramount movie that was only made to cash in on the fantasy craze that has little buzz.

Its tempting to actually go see The Spiderwick Chronicles to see the trailer instead of an online version. Just to see Indiana Jones on the big screen for the first time with a bunch of other people who probably are seeing the film just to watch the trailer.

What Movie Trailers You Gon' See During the Super Bowl?
Here's your list...
By: Brad Brevet | Thursday, December 20, 2007
Last year this wasn't even a topic as most studios pretty much avoided spending the high cost to advertise during the Super Bowl, but this year there are at least eight movie promos are planned to air during the broadcast at a record $2.7 million-$3 million per 30-second spot.

Ridiculous? Yup.

Effective? I'm really not sure and I am not sure anyone really knows.

The films that will be previewed during Super Bowl XLII, airing February 3rd on Fox from Phoenix, Arizona will include Paramount and Marvel's Iron Man, Sony's Hancock and the Adam Sandler comedy You Don't Mess With the Zohan and New Line's Will Ferrell comedy Semi-Pro, which is said to be a collaboration with Budweiser in which Ferrell will appear in character during the Bud spot.

Disney will most likely feature a trailer, but they are apparently debating between previewing the Pixar flick WALL-E or The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.

The other three studios currently slated to show a trailer are Universal Pictures, Warner Bros. and Fox, but which films they are not disclosing... Gotta assume at least Incredible Hulk and The Dark Knight, but as for Fox I guess we could take a guess at saying the trailer will be Wolverine as it is expected to begin shooting in three weeks. Whether or not it will be trailer ready by February is unknown.

The last bit of marketing material you can plan on seeing will be Paramount's Drillbit Taylor plastered all over the pre and post-game shows. If I remember correctly they did something like that with Norbit last year and I was incredibly annoying. I guess football is the last thing people worry about on Super Bowl Sunday anymore anyway.
SOURCE: Variety

Last year there was only two trailers, Meet the Robinsons and Pride. Hardly summer blockbusters. Paramount is doing the best thing by showing off Iron Man and Drillbit Taylor at the Super Bowl and using the Star Trek teaser for Cloverfield and the Indy trailer for Spiderwick.

I just picked up the February issue of Vanity Fair, and saw the photo of Cate Blanchett as Agent Spalko for the first time.

I'm very excited about the film, especially with them taking it in a different direction with setting it in the 50s and Indy fighting Commies instead of Nazis in the 30s and a Femme Fatale as the main antagonist, which I think will be a refreshing continuance after Belloq, Mola Ram and Walter Donovan.

I mean I was already pumped, following that Comic-Con promo with Karen Allen popping in, but my anticipation has been magnified ten-fold.

I get that some people are skeptical about the film since Indy has been off of screens for 19 years, but I'm certainly not.

It's been reported from numerous other sources (especially CHUD) that have been reliable on pretty much every other point (they even named Shia's character before the name was officially released), and as more details are released, more things demonstrate how right the reports were. Furthermore, I have a source of my own that has proved reliable so far and trust.

Furthermore, there's been one thing consistent with the scripts since they tried writing Indy in 1995, and that is alien participation in one form or another. Darabont's draft had to do with aliens (called "gods," since they were perceived as that by the ancient races), and Lucas says the current film features the same MacGuffin as Darabont. It also fits with Lucas' comments that the MacGuffin fits much better now that they're evoking 50s B-films, which is pretty much a confirmation.

Well, the quicksand scene is in the movie, and has long been established as the scene where Mutt and Indy learn of their relationship to one another. I guess we'll find out in coming weeks.

Also, a rumor was posted over at TheRaider that there just won't be a trailer. At this point, with the constant postponing, I'm inclined to believe it.

Man, really can't wait to see some footage of this film. Teaser, trailer, it doesn't matter I just cannot wait for this film because it's sure to be great alike recent sequels based off of films from the past like: Rocky Balboa, Rambo, etc. Great films with this one being no exception

As much as I would like to believe this will be good....Lucas' involvment scares me. Especially the fact that he insisted that he have script approval and rejected/re-wrote countless scripts. I hope Speilberg can reel him in...but I find Speilberg's friendship with him causes him to be overly apologetic for Lucas. I have a bad feeling that we are looking at a repeat of The Phantom Menace. Never-the-less, I hope I get to eat these words in a few months.Hopefully Lucas has enough trust in his friend to consider his ideas as well.

But I do remember seeing a Phantom Menace featurette where Speilberg visits the set and basically everything Lucas said was followed by a huge compliment.

So yeah, it's a tad worrying.

Have bazooka, will travel
30 January 2008

Paramount and Lucasfilm have provided us with a brand new, exclusive image from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which you can see below and which is printed in full in the new issue of Empire, on sale Friday, along with another new still of Cate Blanchett in action as Agent Spalko. We also spoke with producer Frank Marshall about the fourth film in the Indy franchise.

"This picture is locked," Marshall told us of the current progress. "Steven's pretty much done editing. And we're going into the phase with John Williams where he starts scoring the movie. He's really writing now and then we'll start scoring in February".

When asked where this movie sits tonally with the rest of the series, Marshall said: "I would say it's closest to the third one (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). It's all adults. I mean, you have the sidekick in Shia (LaBeouf), but you don't have a Short Round and I think the banter between the characters is as fun as it was in the third movie".

A new Last Crusade would be just dandy by us. When not discussing the finer nuances of Fassbinder or trying on Vulcan ears, we in the Empire office like to argue over which is the best Indy movie. There's currently a heated battle between the Raiders and Crusade teams.

One last piece of info: there will be an Indiana Jones Mr Potato Head. Greatest toy ever? Yes, readers, it just might be.
Update: Thanks to forum user morg1138 for poiting out that you can see the little spud here (http://gizmodo.com/347892/lucas-whores-out-indy-into-tater-of-the-lost-ark-and-we-love-it).

For lots more Indy inside news from Frank Marshall and more exclusive pictures from Indiana Jones and The Crystal Skull pick up the new issue of Empire, on sale Friday.

Lucas, Ford, and Spielberg all had equal say in script approval. Spielberg has autonomy over the actual movie. Lucas is pretty much a collaborator and financeer, nothing more.

Supposedly Speilberg likes to do at least 4 or 5 edits on his films before the final. Could just be refering to one of the first cuts.

I like Crusade way more then ToD, though Raiders is definitive. I'll be happy as long as Kingdom is entertaining. I'm not expecting it to be a Citizen Kane level film.

Though, I wouldn't surprised if it's not quite THE LAST CRUSADE, though. From what we know of the film, it strikes me as something of an algamation of the last three with a bit of its own spirit thrown in.

Honestly, I love LC. Nothing wrong with it, and it's not any less good than Raiders. If Kingdom is between the two, or closer to one or the other, I'll be happy. One of the biggest strengths of Indy is that all the movies are different, having something for everybody.

I do not get the hate for The Last Crusade. IMO, its the best one.

LC is ok. Its an Indy flick, so its better than other Hollywood trash, but IMO it didnt have the tension, excitement, or the adventure the other 2 had. LC was focused more on the family relationship btwn father and son, and it was done well. The humour was a little too slapstick and light for me, and they turned Sallah and Brody into bumbling fools. :whatever:

If they go about something like that here, I am not sure I will like it. The father/son dynamic has already been done...so has the younger sidekick. Sean Connery and Short Round are infinately cooler than Shia Labeauf. And they'll be treading on already explored character developments. So I am not sure how to take the news. I'd rather have something darker and serious, albeit not as dark as TOD for this last one.

I wasnt a fan of the "trials" either in LC. Intially it was cool, but it doesnt have the rewatchability that the previous installments did. The tank scene was ok, but again, was fairly light in action and had a little too much "humour" in those moments. The boat scene was garbage, and again...the plane/zepplin scene is something I'd expect to see in a Charlie Chaplin movie. Again, all fun the first time watching it, but it doesnt hold up well on repeat viewings.

Compare the action and tone in LC to TOD and Raiders. Sure, there are cheesy moments in the first 2 movies, but the movies took themselves a little more seriously, esp Raiders. I was hoping for this movie to hark back to the adventure movies of old...but I got the feeling that this movie will resemble LC more than Raiders or TOD....which IMO, doesnt bode well at all, and wont be the great conclusion to the character of Indy that is needed to close this franchise up (i.e., dont need to see Indy and Marion and son riding or taking a boat or car off into the sunset now. :whatever: )...and I wont be surprised if I see something like that.

I hope it's not like the Last Crusade, reading that really scares me. It was still an Indy movie so I enjoyed it, but I think the other two films are far superior. I think I'm the only one that's glad Sean Connery isn't returning. I didn't like the character in LC.

01-30-2008, 10:11 PM

Last Crusade's failing is that the action's weaker than Temple of doom and it's just too tame, I think of it as Indy-light. Besides rats and a guy's head shrivelling up I didn't notice much shocking imagery which Indy doesn't shy away from. he's in a dirty job, it's supposed to be dangerous. That's where Crystal Skull needs to rectify things and not water things down for kids like all the other Indy wannabes.

Nice. Love that pic.

As for some saying LC was not as good, I guess I never saw it that way. I still think Raiders is the best of the three. TOD was a great film, but it just had an odd feel to it, even in the DVD Lucas talked about how he was going through a divorce and was making it dark.

I thought LC brought back what Raiders had, light hearted fun. And I thought the chemistry between Sean and Harrison was amazing. To eaches own. I love all three Indy movies but I did not see LC as weak.

And I'm stoked for the fourth. I can't wait to see a trailer.

EXCLUSIVE PHOTO: ‘Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull’ (http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2008/02/01/exclusive-photo-indiana-jones-and-the-kingdom-of-the-crystal-skull/)

“It’s not the years,” Indiana Jones tells Marion during a love scene in “Raiders of the Lost Ark. “It’s the mileage.”

Forget both. Approximately 27 years after he first exploded onto the big screen, Indy’s wound up right where he started – or, rather, right where he first ended – in this exclusive photo from “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” which seems to show the world’s most famous archeologist at the government warehouse (http://www.sullivanclinton.com/gallery/albums/album04/Raiders_Of_The_Lost_Ark_Government_Warehouse2.jpg) from “Raiders,” presumably to once again find the Ark (see Lucas compare “Crystal Skulls” to “Raiders” here (http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1571280/20071005/story.jhtml)).

http://i30.tinypic.com/2ztegwp.jpg

And that, frankly, is baffling. Not from the perspective of overall narrative (cough) arc (cough) – it would be kind of cool, after all, for things to end where they began – but from a question of “how does it fit into the story of THIS movie?”

Within the continuity of the series, remember, God is real. He left artifacts. They work. Will the Ark be the only instrument capable of destroying whatever new threat arises (aliens, Soviets, skulls, etc)? Will something IN the Ark (The Ten Commandments, the Rod of Aaron, Manna from the Israelite trek) be of use to Indy in his quest? More likely, will Indy seek it out merely to protect it from falling into the hands of the villainess Cate Blanchett (http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1576038/20071207/story.jhtml)?

Choose wisely: even the folks at Harvard are still baffled as to what the true power of the crystal skulls are (http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1569493/20070911/story.jhtml).

Must have trailer now. :csad:
