Lucas, Ford to Start Filming New Indiana Jones Film

Alchemist253 writes "George Lucas has announced that the script for the long-rumored fourth Indiana Jones film has been finalized and is to begin filming this year, with Harrison Ford once again in front of the camera. From the article: 'In a statement, the 64-year-old Ford said he was ready for another turn as the globe-trotting archaeologist. "I'm delighted to be back in business with my old friends," he said. "I don't know if the pants still fit, but I know the hat will."' All three of the earlier movies were shot in the 80s. How well do you think this character is going to translate into a movie made today?

Maybe something like this.

not enough CG characters.

If Indiana Jones Sr was around in pre-WWII Germany

[Peter Trepan]

That'll make Indiana Jones Jr. old enough for something like Indiana Jones and the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

HCUUA: Sign the confession!

Jones Jr.: Gimme the whip!

HCUUA: No time to argue. Sign the confession, we give you the whip.

Jones Jr.: (signs the confession) Gimme the whip!

HCUUA: Adios, señor. (guards grab Indiana Jones Jr.)

Not one comeback - but two!

From TFA...

"George, Harrison and I are all very excited," Spielberg said, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

I thought George Harrison has passed away? Or are they bringing him back as well as Indy? Just amazing what those boys at ILM can do...

Well, he was right in a way... except that Binks wasn't so much "funny ha-ha" as "funny short-bus".

The one that was adopted:

Indiana Jones and the Annoying Alien from Naboo

JJ: "Meesa no liiiike Nazzzzziiis!!"
IJ: *crack* "Oh, my back!" *crack*
JJ: "Aaaaaggghh!!! Meesa no like bull whip!!!!"

Lucas kept rejecting scripts

Anything that keeps Lucas from writing scripts deserves our support.

Re:Oh boy!

[Teresita]

Indiana Jones and the Lawn Treading Neighborhood Kids

Working Title

[j00r0m4nc3r]

"Indiana Jones and the Metamucil Drink"

The Title:

Indiana Jones and the Craftmatic Adjustable Bed.

Re:Shouldn't Ford be the helpful mentor by now?

[Brian Stretch]

Perish the thought! I can see it now: Indiana Jones (Ford) united with his illegitimate son (Justin Timberlake) go after the Lost Chalice of Talent. K-Fed leads the cast of bad/worse guys in pursuit. Working title: "Indiana Jones 4: The Audience is Doomed!"

I'll take CGI over that, thank you very much.

Any word on....

[Ingolfke]

River Phoenix signing up as Indy's son? He did a good job in the last movie. Is he even available?

Re:Maybe something like this.

[MillionthMonkey]

I wonder if they're going to have Nazis in this movie, now that Harrison Ford has been aging for decades.

Either the Nazis will come out of a time warp in the 1960s, or maybe they'll continue to set the movie pre-WWII and explain that Indiana aged 25 years instantly when he decided to open that box and peek inside the Ark, just for a second, with sunglasses on.

Re:That's funny

[camperdave]

Yeah, that could have been bad:
*glucas has rejected script1
*glucas has rejected script2
*glucas has rejected script3
...
*glucas has rejected script4
*glucas has rejected script5
glucas: Bantha pudu, all of it. I'll write the script.
*glucas pounds on keyboard for 37 minutes
glucas: There! A rollicking adventure about Indie finding a lost island and a chest full of cursed Aztec gold.

Re:How will this one be?

[geoffspear]

What an idiot. I don't care whether Greedo shot first, but that scene was by far the funniest thing in the entire Indiana Jones series, and removing it would be as dumb as letting Lucas write dialog of any kind.

Re:Any word on....

[zoomshorts]

Nope , still dead.

Re:Oh boy!

[discord5]

Let me improve your feeble script

Lucas originally wrote it this way:
Leia: I love you
Han: I love you too.

Luke: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

George Lucas : I'm a bloody genius

such brain-numbing lines as "omfg sand is the suxor it gets in my eye LOL!!!11"

"zomg teh force is strong in dis 1, i can tell from his milk-of-chloreines"

Random Star Wars fans, I AM George Lucas. Together we shall rule the universe as father and son.

Didn't Nostradamus say...

[Ingolfke]

that this was a sign of the coming of Duke Nukem Forever?

Working title:

[jpellino]

"Indiana Jones and the Prostate of Doom"

What, they're putting Rick Berman and Brannon Braga on the team, too?

Revenge of the Indy

[MidVicious]

Prepare yourselves for a digitally inserted, blue glowy River Phoenix.

Tremble before the mind blowing revelation when Sean Connery announces to the Nazis, "I am the Senate!"

And witness the incredible love scenes between a reunited Indiana and Marion Ravenwood, "I hate snakes. They're slimy, scaly, and they get everywhere. Not like here, where everything is... wrinkley and aging."

All the films were shot in the 80's...

[porkchop_d_clown]

All three of the earlier movies were shot in the 80s.

Oh, man. I read this and thought "that can't be right!" - then I looked it up and now I just feel old.

[Int. ancient temple. Indy's female love-interest-du-jour has a cartoonish Nazi at gunpoint.]

Indy: Bring out the Gimp.
Nazi: The Gimp is sleeping, Herr Jones.
Love-interest-du-jour: It's fantastic! The chamber must extend 60 meters...
Indy: Shit, they ain't got the metric system in ancient Egypt. They wouldn't know what the fuck a meter is.
Love-interest-du-jour: Then what would they call it?
Indy: A cubit.

[Love-interest-du-jour accidentally shoots Nazi in the head, splattering brains everywhere.]

Love-interest-du-jour: Oh man, I shot that Nazi in the face.
Indy: Why the fuck did you do that!
Love-interest-du-jour: Well, I didn't mean to do it, it was an accident!
Indy: Oh man I've seen some crazy ass shit in my time...
Love-interest-du-jour: Chill out, man. I told you it was an accident. You probably set off a booby trap by stepping on that "X" right there.
Indy: "X" never, ever marks the spot, bitch!
Love-interest-du-jour: Hey, look man, I didn't mean to shoot the son of a bitch. The gun went off. I don't know why.
Indy: No, let me ask you a question. When you came in here, did you see a hieroglyphic out in front of this temple that said Dead Nazi Storage?
Love-interest-du-jour: Indy, you know I ain't seen no...
Indy: Did you see a hieroglyphic out in front of this temple that said Dead Nazi Storage?
Love-interest-du-jour: [pause] No. I didn't.
Indy: You know WHY you didn't see that hieroglyphic?
Love-interest-du-jour: Why?
Indy: 'Cause it ain't there, 'cause storing dead Nazis ain't my fucking business, that's why!

 

Re:Maybe something like this.

[carlivar]

Maybe it will be set in Argentina. Plenty of Nazis there circa 1960's, right?

OB Futurama Quote

Fry: Married? Jenny can't get married! Leela: Why not? It's clever, it's unexpected. Fry: But that's not why people watch TV. Clever things make people feel stupid, and unexpected things make them feel scared. [Lrrr crackles onto the screen.] Lrrr [on TV]: Attention, McNeal. Your unexpected marriage plan scares us. You stole our hearts as a single female lawyer, and so shall you remain -- or else! Fry: You see? TV audiences don't want anything original.
