All they had to do was ape Young Indiana Jones Chronicles and bookend the movie with Harrison Ford.


Literally lol just have the part from Force Awakens when he's talking to Ben and ADR in Ford going "this reminds me of when I was your age and..." and then have the rest of the film Solo play as it is, then after it finishes Ben does the thank you I now know I have the strength to do this whatever/line and as he stabs Ford, credits roll.

The problem with cgi dogs is that they're actually puppets operated by people and therefore do not radiate any goodboy.

What's the point if the OG crew isn't involved? I mean, you could equally ask what's the point even if they are, but if you're going to get a whole new crew just get a new actor and put it back in the 30s and make more serialized adventures. Or just don't make a movie at all and give Paul Dini an animated series that picks up where Young Indy left off. Or just let it be for another decade or two.

Spielberg spent the 90s and early 2000s saying that the reason there was no Indy 4 was that he didn't want to just put any poo poo out there and leave a bad taste in everyone's mouths. Then he went and did KOTCS which did that anyway. Mind you the Christ Columbus script from the 90s was worse still.

The biggest problem with KOTCS is that at its core, the idea is a grand-loving-slam. Letting the film evolve alongside cinema trends of the time was absolutely inspired, going from 30s adventure serials as the main inspiration to 50s drive-in b-movies was brilliant. Throwing in a motorcycle-riding greaser, flying saucers, cold war espionage, atomic test sites, extrasensory perception, and monstrous ants are all fantastic ideas. The only problem is... it sucked. It was executed extremely poorly with a written-by-committee script and lazy direction that didn't respect the look and feel of the originals, as well as tons of lazy callbacks and poor characterization.

Plus it didn't help that the ESP wasn't real, the flying saucers weren't real, and the ants were tiny instead of giant :colbert:

Old Indy got scrubbed from anything official 20+ years ago when they re-edited all of it into feature length movies. It was kind of dumb how that was handled to. Almost all the brst stuff got released on VHS in 1999, with the remaining stuff supposed to follow soon after. Then nothing happened until it all got released in 3 DVD sets to complement KOTCS. Few of the episodes that weren't in that initial VHS run are any good.

You want real funny. When they re-edited them into features they slammed an original Corey Carrier episode together with new material. So the second half of the episode is a 14 or 14 year old Carrier pretending to be 10 years old, and that it's only a couple weeks after the first act.

quote:

Principal photography on the film began in late-September 2018 in Los Angeles.[14] The film was not shot on location, extensive use was made of CGI. Some of it was also shot on sets in Los Angeles and some exteriors in Santa Clarita, California. All-in-all the production spent $109 million filming in California, with the final budget reaching $125–150 million by the time post wrapped.

I'm guessing the conversation went something along the lines of "We're not greenlighting this film unless you get a big name like Harrison Ford to star in it!" "But there's no way that he'd spend 8 weeks on location in the Yukon!" "Well, just make a new Yukon a half hour from his house"

Ford is so old now that I wouldn't be surprised if Indy 5, if made at all, would be set in the 1970s or 1980s. I'd laugh it features Raiders Of The Lost Ark as a diegetic reference, like the first film is a fictionalization of in-universe Indy's adventures.
