Indiana Jones To Arrive Again in 2005

Dolemite_the_Wiz writes "The Raider.net reports that the release date for the next Indiana Jones Movie (tentatively titled 'Indiana Jones 4') is, according to Steven Spielberg, "...going to come out probably for the July 4th weekend of 2005...". The movie looks like it will be set in the 1950s and include just about every main character from the first three films. For more links about this movie, check this search result from Cinescape. Secondly, IndianaJones.com reports that the First three films in the Indiana Jones Trilogy will be released on November 4th. These films have to be one of the most requested DVD releases (probably next to the Original 'Star Wars' trilogy and the first two 'Godfather' movies) ever. "

"

This Four DVD set will include:

- Restored Film Footage
- Remastered in THX
- New Dolby 5.1 soundtrack
- A 4th DVD with just about every aspect of how the films were made.

This collection will retail for $49.95 (US)

Here's the official release notice for the DVD.I just hope that the new film and DVD will be able to Satisfy all the Indy fans."

Re:Woohoo! About time!

[taree]

Hope that Sean Connery will be the 'old old Indiana'.

In this episode . . .

[LazloToth]

Harrison Ford escapes from the old folks' home in his wheelchair and finds the Fountain of Middle Age in a Roman temple, where a 19-year-old nymphomaniac falls hopeless in love with him for 17 minutes and then he flies away in his airplane.

Really?

[Matey-O]

and include just about every main character from the first three films.

Even the melted ones?

Yeah.,..

[Anztac]

"Harrison Ford can still kick the s**t out of most people half his age," Spielberg told us. "I think he's in great condition to put the fedora and the hat and the leather jacket back on and crack that bullwhip a few more times."

Yeah, but if he says "I'm getting to old for this shit" I may have to shoot him...

Mark Hamil?

[gpinzone]

I remember reading that Mark Hamil was talked about for playing Indiana's long lost evil brother. Any truth to it?

Indiana Jones 4: Product Placement Info

[Karl Cocknozzle]

Indiana Jones will be using such popular consumer products as Geritol, Fix-a-Dent, Ben Gay, and Preperation H. The people representing those "Rascal" mobility scooters didn't put up enough cash to get into the movie.... Just as well, as the pace would be pretty slow with Harrison Ford buzzing along at a brisk 2 mph on one of those electric scooters.

Reworked Scene in RotA

[LordYUK]

**Spoiler from the Downloaded Kazaa Version**

Remember that scene in the bazaar with the sword wielding Arabian dude, you know, the one who wants to slice Indy open like a frozen tauntaun?

Well, in the original Indy just blasts him with his pistol, however, in keeping with the whole "harrison ford shoots second" motiff, Spielburg has decided to let the sword guy swing at him.

This has the undesirerable side effect of Indy losing his left hand, which has been digitially removed and replaced with a walkie talkie. Years later in the fourth movie, Indy is replaced with a slightly (okay, an extremely) sexier version of himself as a woman, and must engage her in fights that involve her wrapping her legs around him that would leave most contortionists in wheelchairs, slightly before judgement day occurs...

oh, wait, wrong overdue sequel with a star way too old for the part...

Re:Bundle ?

[Biogenesis]

Well if you can't you will just have to go above the system and get the divx.

Re:Yeah.,..

[Jonsey]

...Spielberg told us. "I think he's in great condition to put the fedora and the hat and the leather jacket back on and crack that bullwhip a few more times."

Put on the hat first or second? Because we want to see the Fedora, not some other hat. : )

Re:Mark Hamil?

[Anonymous Coward]

No, Mark will be too busy filming the long-awaited sequel "Corvette Summer 2".

Karen Allen and Kate Capshaw ?

[bigmouth_strikes]

As long as they don't bring back that little annoying kid in the Yankee cap in Temple Of Doom.

Youth?

[b1t r0t]

Well, if the problem is that Harrison Ford is getting to old, then we need to find someone younger. Who better than a young star of movies with "and the" in the title?

Yes, folks, get ready for Harry Potter and the Temple of Doom!

Re:In this episode . . .

[Anonymous Coward]

...a 19-year-old nymphomaniac falls hopeless in love with him...

Calista Flockhart?

Re:Youth?

[arivanov]

Nope.

More likely the chap whose name starts with Jar, continues with Jar and ends with Binks.

Considering the popularity of the Star Wars prequels such casting does should not be entirely unexpected.

Don't you mean...

[Rorgg]

Harry Potter VIII? The planned run of the series is 7 books.

Could be worse... Imagine if Kamen decide to pay to have Indianna Jones ride a Segway?

Yeah they'll use computer generated images

[wadiwood]

They're nearly cheaper than real actors and can be reverse aged more easily.

So I imagine (commences pure fiction) they could use a youthful actor to body double for Harrison and the rest, and paste in Harrison's face scraped from anything he's made where he looks less cragfaced (Star Wars 1977 mode?).

Melted characters could easily be returned this way also. Just like in soap operas. In fact if you've been melted and revived, you'd have to have had lots of plastic surgery right?

So lets have indiana jones and the last unicorn, fight the gremlins in the kremlin...

And that's my final fantasy.

In the words of Short Round

[Zabu]

Uh Oh -- Big Mistake!

New Title Suggestions

[bc8o8]

How about
"Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Retirement Home"
or
"Indiana Jones: The Temple of Viagra"
or
"Indiana Jones: The Last Erection"

The Inside Scoop

[wynterwynd]

The villan from this one will be Interpol, tracking Indiana down for 20 years worth of smuggling national treasures to sell to museums. High adventure ensues in U.S. Extradition Court, as Indy faces his greatest nemesis, Warren "Eyepatch" Fineburg, a ruthless UN junior legal secretary with a jaunty BLACK fedora and a bullwhip-like fountain pen. Indy's only hopes for exoneration lies in a ragtag legal team consisting of a whiny showgirl, an ex-Russian general turned Hindu monk, and a sassy orangutan lawyer. Indy will need all his skill and luck to survive the climactic out-of-court settlement on the ledge of the courthouse clock tower!


I trusted my heart to you once Lucas, and you let me down [starwars.com]. I'll approach this with appropriate levels of guarded enthusiasm.

Terminology Catastrophe Warning

[aziraphale]

"the First three films in the Indiana Jones Trilogy will be released"

Since, in any rational universe, a trilogy doesn't have a 'first three films', shouldn't that be the 'increasingly inaccurately named Indiana Jones Trilogy'?

Re:Don't you mean...

[birder]

The 8th will be Harry looking back on the adventures of his youth....

Digital, please

[Anonymous Coward]

Please George Lucas, in the name of Howard The Duck, make Spielberg shoot the movie digitally. The stone age is over.

Re:Youth?

[Surak]

Excerpt from the script: (SPOILERS):

Arabian dude with sword: Twirls sword around, brandishing it menacingly.
Jar Jar: Meesa goin' to da Temple of Doom to find da Lost Ark! Yeah, that's meesa gonna do!
Indiana Jones: Looks at Arabian dude with sword.
Indiana Jones: Looks at Jar Jar.
Indiana Jones: Shoots Jar Jar and takes his chances with Arabian dude.

Short Round == Jar-Jar

[sczimme]

Short Round is the Jar-Jar Binks of the Indiana Jones movies:

broken English coupled with nails-on-a-chalkboard voice

cloying attempts to appear cute

useless in most life-threatening or otherwise important situations

The major difference is that it is difficult to wish harm on Short Round because he is a little kid - not so with Jar-Jar. I had no trouble wishing Han Solo would show up and shoot first.

Time to eat monkey brains again

[abhikhurana]

I am an Indian..guess I will get back into the habbit of eating monkey brains.

Re:imdb forum

[JDevers]

As someone who utterly loves IMDB, I completely agree with your assessment of the forums. Sometimes when checking out the info on a movie or actor/actress I accidently see the titles of the last few postings to that particular discussion and immediately loose a few IQ points. It generally takes a few days to return to normal (in the case of T3, I wandered around aimlessly in the woods for a month...so you might want to be even more careful)

Re:Youth?

[parliboy]

Hey, if this means we're going to sacrifice Hermione by ripping out her heart and showing it to her while it's still beating, I'm up for it!

Politically correct change in DVD Special Edition

[operagost]

Instead of shooting the crazed Arab, he points a walkie-talkie at him and says, "BANG!"

Re:New Title Suggestions

[digtl88]

you should submit them to Saturday Night Live...they could make some funny skits off those titles.

Re:japanese ring because it is...

[Chundra]

"wan" is Japanese for "woof".

Re:Not again

[onthefenceman]

If the current trend of declining plot made up for with increasingly dazzling special effects, by the time these movies come out they'll just take your $8.50, give you a box of sparklers, and chase you around the theater a couple of times.

Re:japanese ring because it is...

[Anonymous Coward]

Woof belt? There's a translation I wish I didn't know.

Re:Youth?

[andyt]

But in the Special Edition version, Jar Jar shoots first!

Re:Godfather Set

[Anonymous Coward]

Just as there is no movie "Highlander II", there is no Godfather 3. We've all agreed it's best that way.

Lucas has tweaked the original trilogy

[artemis67]

In the "new and improved" version, the spinning sword dude shoots first.

And misses.

Re:Woohoo! About time!

[andy1307]

mean, let's face it, he's found the most prized Biblical Artifacts already, it's time for him to find something bigger. :)

something bigger..like SCO's code in linux?

Re:Not again

[Alan Partridge]

I just can't watch the original.

Re:Yeah.,..

[infinite9]

Yeah, but if he says "I'm getting to old for this shit" I may have to shoot him...


It's ok. One round with Calista Flockhart will cure him faster than that cup he chose wisely.

Re:Karen Allen and Kate Capshaw ?

[Ozan]

As long as they don't bring back that little annoying kid in the Yankee cap in Temple Of Doom.

I want short-round in the next movie. Played by Yun-Fat Chow [imdb.com]. Wouldn't that be something?

Re:Not again

[mdielmann]

If the current trend of declining plot made up for with increasingly dazzling special effects, by the time these movies come out they'll just take your $8.50, give you a box of sparklers, and chase you around the theater a couple of times.

And you'll have been better off than if you had watched the last movie in just about any movie 'series'.

Modern Day Indy?

[Lord_Dweomer]

How about:

Indiana Jones and the Search for the WMD

It could be set in the desert, and could have the opening scene in the Oval Office with G.W. telling Harrison Ford that there is a POWERFUL MYSTERIOUS ARTIFACT that evil terrorists are hiding that he needs to find. He's not really sure what it looks like...just that it has the potential to bring lots of DOOM! And if he comes across any oil to make sure to relay the coordinates to his personal line.

Re:In this episode . . .

[mechugena]

He said "19-year old nymphomanic", not "19 pound egomaniac" !

Re:What about the cup of life and being immortal?

[Anonymous Coward]

Rather the cup had to remain within the chamber, and you had to keep drinking from the cup to be immortal.

Proposed title for fourth film: Indiana Jones and the Really Long Straw.

Re:Modern Day Indy?

[The_Shadows]

Indiana Jones and the Search for the WMD

No, no, no. That would never work. Indy can only go after artifacts that actually exist.

Re:Incomplete DVD Set

[JahToasted]

Quit whinning dude. Here's what I plan to do: let all my family members know that the trilogy will be released in november. Christmas day it will somehow appear under the tree. When the fourth one comes out I will go see it in the theatre. If its good I will buy it on DVD later. If not I won't.

I will then have the original trilogy and possibly the fourth one separately. I won't lose sleep over it because I'm not an anal-retentive idiot that has to have everything fit in one box.

So you, yes YOU have the choice: Buy the 4th movie separately, or be an idiot and pay for the original 3 movies twice so you can own a fucking box.

But please stop complaining. Also I am premptively demanding that you not complain about Star Wars boxed sets, LOTR boxed sets, or any other items that are sold in boxes. Thank you.

Something bigger

[roesti]

I mean, let's face it, he's found the most prized Biblical Artifacts already, it's time for him to find something bigger. :)

How much bigger a find do you want? Realistic software patents? A boxed copy of Duke Nukem Forever? What?

Personally, I can't wait for "Indiana Jones and the Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction". If anyone can solve the mystery and find these weapons, Indy can.
