Hopefully, we can generate some fun discussion here.
Great thread, and good idea! I’ll start!
So Indy 5 is official. I truly do not enjoy Crystal Skull very much, even in fan edited form. I feel there were a number of good ingredients, Lucas-esque prequalisms infiltrated this movie too much and it really suffers. I’m hoping 5 will be a redemption and return to form.
So what should it be about? I have two ideas:
- Since Raiders is about a Hebrew/Jewish relic and Crusade is about a Christian relic, I thought it might be interesting to utilize a relic from the other major Abrahamic faith: Islam. West End Games once used the Black Stone for one of their scenarios, and I think it’s a worthwhile idea.
Of course, due to political sensitivities, I see this as unlikely
- Since the Jones movies take place during certain periods and highlight the interests of the times (religion in the 30s-'40s, science fiction in the '50s), it might be fun to see a '60s spy thriller type of Indiana Jones movie. Bond movies played some inspiration on the franchise, and it could be interesting to see the elderly Jones character, now not so physically spry, using gadgets to accomplish his missions.
Honestly, this sounds really fun, or really terrible. I’m actually on the fence about this idea.
What would you like to see in Indy 5?
