If and its a big IF, they can get Sean Connery out from retirement, then i may be able to get excited about this once more. Throw 20 mill at him if you have to. The movie is a lock to break 200 million no matter how bad it is.

Levo on Sep 14, 2009

I have no intention of seeing this at all, and as far as Im concerned it’s still a trilogy as you so rightly put it. What they did with that awful film was a god damn travesty and proved that Lucas can’t be trusted with this franchise at all, as for mutt just shoot the bastard and put him out of his misery and leave it well alone for god sake.

Dar-El on Sep 14, 2009

Oh and 2 there isnt a chance in hell, there is also the rumour that Sean read the script for the last one and told them where to go and rightly so in my book, boy did he make the right decision there eh

Haha, suckers. I got wise with the star wars prequels. I've NEVER seen that crappy #4 installment. They tried, after crapping on star wars and even E.T(which I have fond memories of ), to take Ol' Doctor Jones from me, but I beat them to the punch. Lame'os!

p.s. Hearing about the atomic bomb proof fridge was enough to stop me.

In all honestly, I liked the 4th film. "Last Crusade" is still by far my favorite, but still liked the 4th. It could've done without some of the cheesiness/silliness (CG monkeys were mentioned above) but otherwise enjoyed it. Plus, it's Lucas, what do you expect?

BL on Sep 14, 2009

10

As long as they get Lawrence Kasdan or Frank Darabont to write the script (or maybe Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish, if they impressed Spielberg with their Tintin rewrite) I'll be happy to see another installment.

60 is the new 40, apparently, so I have every confidence in Ford's ability to crack the whip convincingly (his performance was the saving grace of the last one).

I just wish they'd say that Sean Connery's character isn't really dead after all and in fact needs to be rescued from some dastardly villain after a quest went awry!

Mathieu on Sep 14, 2009

Sean Connery won't be coming out of retirement for part 5, #1. They killed him off in part 4. Bum move, George Lucas.

Sorry, #2.

Gill on Sep 14, 2009

what i thought hurt #4 the most was the story…….it was really awful. if they're doing another one, i certainly hope the plot is better than the last. HF acting looked pretty stiff in #4 as well.(kind of like he was going through the motions)……i hope he acts like he's interested in #5.

George Lucas is so good at destroying every "iconic" thing he has created. he fits the definition of a HACK

DoomCanoe on Sep 14, 2009

I think this is a great idea. Obviously, people really loved this movie or it wouldn't have made millions of dollars, right? My only hope is that we get to learn more about Mutt, like it'd be cool if he was in a band or played guitar.

Valerie Atherton on Sep 14, 2009

16

I hope he actually gets to wear the hat this time. It would be great if he was the star, finally. Harrison Ford is getting way too old to play Indy.

Gill on Sep 14, 2009

17

I really think they need to have a flashback story that involves a younger Indy. Maybe while he is in grad school. Then the story can flow back into present day Indy. Because no way can a 67 yr old Ford pull off a action sequence without heavy duty CGI or stunt doubles.

JT on Sep 14, 2009

18

While I too loathed the fourth film and was tremendously heartbroken by it, I do think there is a very small chance for a possible ressurrection.

My suggestion would be to hire Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci to write the script because as we all learned from STAR TREK, they are able to tell great stories but at the same time are incredibly loyal to the source material to the point of all most being religious.

Let's just hope Spielberg has learned from his mistakes because all know Lucas hasn't, what with not only the fourth Indy but all three of the Star Wars prequels.

Short Round on Sep 14, 2009

Like Star Wars, they are Saturday afternoon popcorn movies, not meant to be this strange cult that makes these freaky fanboys wet themselevs is they are not exactly like they remember as kids …You see, there's the key word KIDS! Grow up losers and enjoy them for what they are.

It will be good if they KEEP LUCAS AWAY FROM THE SCRIPT. Spielberg knows what he's doing. Lucas should be restrained from characters, costumes, and story - he should throw money at the movie, that's all he's good for nowadays.

xerxex on Sep 14, 2009

The fourth movie was a major disappointment. For me it was, actually, the biggest disappointment during that year! Hearing of a fifth installment, well… don't know. In one hand, there is the "what if this is as bad as the other?" but in the other hand, you can surely say "the last one was SO bad, that Spielberg and Lucas can only do better!" haha… Saying so, good or bad, we know (yes, we do, let's face it) that we will be standing in line to see it.

leiner on Sep 14, 2009

Maybe they can go back to dealing with the Germans and throw Christoper Waltz in there since that seems to be everyone's flavor of the month, even though most people have only seen him in one movie and don't much about him.

I hope this script isn't a, "I know we should have done it this way!" kind of reaction for Lucas/Spielberg in comparison to the last one


PLLLLLEEEEAAAASE dont be lame, AND DON'T PASS THE HAT/WHIP TO SHIA. It's not a superhero costume - Harrison makes Indiana the great hero we know and love. By the way - no monkeys or fridges.

Tho I understand that they had to 'toss indiana' around without having to actually put harrison in the action he would have normally been fit for, ohh say 20 years ago(via fridge, jet engine platform. I want an email to go out to all the complaining fanboys when they're 55-57 and see if they're fit to run around, dive, jump, climb, dive again, run there, come back, run again, probably get punched and thrown around a few times, jump through that window, swing on this harness, run there, faster, come back, dive, roll, jump on the moving vehicle, come back, run, then do it again. Ask ME that now, Hell Yes! 35 years from now?? Ahhh, I'll get back to you.

Nick Sears on Sep 14, 2009

Horrible idea to make a 5th, it will always be a triology of the greatest action adventure movies of all time, just like the original Star Wars. When this does come out I will destroy anyone I know that sees it.

Andrew on Sep 14, 2009

32

This is sacred territory for me as the "Indiana Jones" trilogy is my all time favorite trilogy! 'Kingdom' put a damper in my love for the series so I truly hope Spielberg….and especially Lucas bring their A-game and do us fanboys proud! Ford WILL knock it out of the park….as long as the SCRIPT kicks ass!

Spider on Sep 14, 2009

Usually I would get excited, but after the 4th one I'm not so sure they should continue.

JimD on Sep 14, 2009

34

Okay, despite having George Lucas "actively at work" on it, there's a slim chance this might be good.

1)They tell George Lucas to give up the crazy delusion that he can write worth a damn. He can't. They hire an actual writer to come in and clean up all Lucas's stupid ideas.

2)They do some makeup work and set this one before Crystal Skull so that they never even have to aknowledge "Mutt". It's the only way. Just pretend he never happened. They set the precedent in Temple, so it's okay to skip back to a time period.

3)There's some mystical curse on the Indy series that only the odd movies will be good (I love 1 and 3, don't like 2 as much, LOATHED 4 with a fiery passion).

It could happen….

(inconsolable crying)

Pete the Geek on Sep 14, 2009

35

Well after 1 there was 2. I'm sure nobody wanted a 3 after that, but it turned out to be the best of all the Indy films. Perhaps 4 was the stinker that we have to hurdle to get to the really good movie.

Chris H on Sep 14, 2009

36

Indy kicks ass. 4 had great moments and brought back the legend. Offer some legit suggestions rather than just think of a douchebag clever way of saying it sucked. It was cool they revealed indy as being a ww2 hero in 4. an anime or comic of his ww2 days would be cool. wonder what's the next 'mcguffin'. i think indy should take on an illuminati type group and try to obtain maybe a time travel machine or stop nukes during cold war.. alright, what else? there has to be some better ideas out there

scott on Sep 14, 2009

37

Remember how every other Trek movie was good? That appears to be the case with the Indy flicks.

Raiders? Awesome. Doom? Be honest, as iconic as some of the images were, the flick was pretty weak. Last Crusade? Not as awesome as Raiders, but awesome. Crystal Skull? Like Doom, overall weak, but still had some decent moments (not many, but there were a few).

So a fifth installment has to fall into the awesome camp. Right?

And honestly, Shia wasn't that bad. The way his character was introduced to the series, however, was horrible. So if we forget Skull, and let these characters just get on with it, we may be okay.

jay on Sep 14, 2009

38

I couldn't believe how bad #4 was. Spielberg has been making some really fantastic films of late with "Saving Private Ryan" Minority Report" and "Catch Me If You Can". I honestly thought that this film was going to be awesome.


I say do another one but get better script writers. George Lucas lost the gift for storytelling a long time ago.

Also only give Shia a smaller part. He plays the same jackass character in every film. Enough already!

I was not impress with indiana jones and the cristal skull, lucas and spelberg want to take the story of indi 5
Back to it's routs like the previus 3 film's not the 4 one get indi looking for a great artifact with badies trying to stop him on the way bring back the German's, good trap's for him to solve and so and so on.

Allen Reeve on Sep 15, 2009

40

in all honesty as a huge indy fan (last crusade guy here) the nostalga of seeing indy again clouded what would otherwise be a mediocre film to me. sure there were issues, but to see my favorite charactor on screen again was well worth some weak plot points and bogus story telling. all in all, if it wasnt an indiana jones movie i absolutly wouldnt have enjoyed it much. the worst feeling is knowing i fall into the demographic that lucas knew he would make his money from, indy fans who support their hero despite the movie itself.

AC on Sep 15, 2009

41

#2,Levo …Uh, I'm not sure if it was mentioned but Sean's character had died off I believe (unless you mean seeing him in a flashback). Remember when Indy had his picture of his dad (Sean Connery, of course)on his desk and mentioned how it had been a "brutal couple of years?" Then he said, "first dad,then Marcus." I doubt he gets brought back, unless it's a flashback.

JudasBarron on Sep 15, 2009

42

I would be okay with a 5th if they get back to the original Indiana Jones, and stop trying to "move in another direction"…

I'm not sure what they would have to do to rescue it, but I'm pretty sure it would involve excluding Shia to a cameo, if that. The story would need to be a little more grounded in reality, too, please. For some reason I can accept all the crazy sci-fi stuff when it comes to the different artifacts when they're integral to the story, instead of BEING the story.

Maybe something set in the US would be good, too, so long as they don't follow the line of the National Treasure. Or maybe something set in Africa!! That would be great!

RStewie on Sep 15, 2009

43

#11 Yes, Indy's dad was killed off in part four, but it was only a passing mention if I recall correctly, and these films are inspired by 30s adventure serials/comic strips. So in keeping with the sort of ludicrous twists seen in the source material, I don't see why it couldn't transpire, as I suggested at #10, that Connery is just missing, presumed dead, or something similar. Then son and grandson could go off in search of him!

Connery only refused to come out of retirement for the fourth film because the part was little more than a cameo (I'd imagine Jim Broadbent's character was originally supposed to be Indy's dad, before the rewrite) - if it was something substantial I can see him making this his final movie.

Oh and #19? The thing is, the first film is a classic even without the rose-tinted spectacles of nostalgia. The third one is brilliant too, and even the second one seems like a masterpiece compared with most adventure movies of the last couple of decades. That's why people were upset with the fourth film - it was nowhere near the level of the original trilogy, although I still liked it despite its faults.

It's funny to hear all these fanboy morons whine about how Lucas ruined "their" movie, "their" Indy. Like he didn't have anything to do with making the film.


Geeks, when you put up several hundred million dollars of your own money to finance a film, THEN you can complain about the script, the special effects, and the acting.


#39 The Germans?! Are you retarded? It's the 1950's! The Nazis had been out of power for ten years.


#34 How can you "skip a time period" when he's so obviously OLD? Anyway, "Temple of Doom" didn't skip a time period—-it was set like three years before "Raiders".

SwolN PekR on Sep 15, 2009

49

I, for one, am ridiculously excited for specifically a fifth installment. Granted, the trilogy could have been left alone, and probably should have.
However, it may be important to remember that Temple of Doom was trashed by critics when it first came out, while Raiders and Crusade were highly praised. Twenty years later, Temple of Doom is considered one of the more adventurous of the films.
What really excites me is that the first and third films, which were Steven Spielberg's ideas, were considered excellent, while the second and fourth films, which were both spawned by George Lucas, have been trashed upon their release.
It sounds like Spielberg is in charge of this movie, therefore I have great faith and much excitement at the idea that this pattern may continue and we may have a noteworthy and possibly legendary adventure in the works.

I have to say, though, I would LOVE to see Shia La Beouf get kicked in the face by the actor who played Short Round. Just as I was pleased that they refused to allow the fedora to touch his head.

wHiskey Tango... on Sep 15, 2009

54

Speilberg and Lucas did Raiders of the Lost Ark fairly equally.

Temple of Doom was more Lucas, but The Last Crusade was more Speilberg… then we went back to Lucas again for Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. So, it's Speilberg's turn. I'm up for 5, but only for that reason.

Although I did find it amusing that Indy and his son both took on dogs' names.

I watched Indy 4 again recently on a rainy Saturday afternoon. I will admit I hated it when I saw it in the theaters. But 14+ months later, I actually enjoyed it more the 2nd time through. It wasn't even close to as good as the first 3, but I was also a young kid when I saw those (not in the theater, I was 6 when The Last Crusade was released.) I'm 26 now, and my movie tastes have changed. If you take it as a fun movie with an old friend and not an Oscar contender, its great fun. Stupid and over the top in parts, but who cares… It's an Indiana Jones movie, not A Clockwork Orange.

Dustin on Sep 15, 2009

57

I wish you would all stop complaining, I mean I know it wasn't the greatest film ever made and could have been better. I for one hadn't seen it until it showed recently on tv and found the DVD shortly afterwards and I haven't been able to stop watching it, I watch it just about everyday. I like the character Mutt and think Shia was great at playing But I hope the storyline is a bit better than before and not so predictable. It would be kinda cool if Mutt got hurt somewhere during the adventure or kidnapped, I like it when things like that happen and you get a sence of passion. If you've watched the special features then you'll knopw that it had to be made with some stuff from the past and some for those who are just introduced to Indiana Jones, you know the next generation who might like it but more modern, any way I enjoyed it and give it a thumbs up.

CJ on Sep 16, 2009

Crystal Skull was a piece of crap. The first three were great. They should give up and forget making any more, but they won't as long as morons like #46, #48 and #49 as still suckling at the Lucas teat and handing over their money.

Havent you people realized that the only thing lucas is good for is destroying his own franchises? Anyone else noticing a trend? First trilogy is great. Than he tries to make more movies 20 years later and they suck….hmmmmm where has he done this before? Lucas' problem is that he won't use any of his ideas to start up new franchises, he's so scared that if he did something new it would fail so instead he spends all of his time on just the two.

Like people are saying the 2nd and 4th 2nd wass just weak and 4 at least we didnt have this guy in a bull hat trying to get out someones heart . 14 and 15 ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FRICKIN MIND!!!!!!!!
2 the only way that sean could come back is if indy finds something that brings peope back to life(That story would compleely suck of course) or in a flashback. 49 is right lucas spawned the idea for the aliens
in the 4th and it would be hilarious to see short round kick muutt in the face because sort round was better he was just in the wrong movie and guys stop complainin about the plot its an indiana jones movie not a freakin oscar nominee.

This may be a debatable statement, but I thought the Indiana Jones tv series was great and wish it lasted longer. If they can take more from that and add it to the next movie (better, more coherent plot and characters) and less overwrought CGI and cliches carried over from the trilogy, it could be something great. The last movie was lazy film making. You could feel they had to get that project out of the way so they could get on to something more important.

Robert on Oct 17, 2009

@79 - I agree it was lazy filmmaking, but the most important part was FUBAR: the script. Besides that, resurrecting Indy after 20 years was probably a big mistake. Obviously it was just made for the dollars.

….."I don't really want to see Mutt return at Indy's side in some kind of bastardization of the brilliance that was the father-son story in The Last Crusade."
I love that line. It's from above somewhere. Couldn't locate it again. Anyway…

I'm a massive Indy fan and was in utter denial when the alien factor came into play. Shot to the groin, if you will. A 25 year wait, then this? Cruel…….very cruel. Tarzan, Aliens? What's next, Mutt playing Indy?! "The Librarian" TV Movie was more intriguing than prt 4. I'm sorry.
The South Park Episode said it all! http://www.southparkstudios.com/clips/187266
A few things…..

1). Lucas, just write the scrip,.. umm you can, …just get the actors to….forget it, please go away!
2). Mutt can be in it as long as he's as quiet as Jar Jar Binks was in "Sith"!
3). The "Meguffin"(?) should be Earth bound with forgotten artifacts with a touch of superstition.
One that people have put absolute faith in. Like the lost city of Atlantis, or the stone from Delphi that Cronus (Zeus' father) vomited up thinking it was a child when eating it. Wow, that was violent…or the spear of destiny. Excalibur?
4). Speilberg…you know what you're doing. Make this one a home run!
