Obviously they're going to have reboot the franchise. Who should play Indy? :hmm:

Disney acquires rights for future 'Indiana Jones' films
By Grady Smith on Dec 6, 2013 at 6:11PM @gradywsmith
First Star Wars, now Indiana Jones? The Walt Disney Studios announced Friday that it has reached a marketing and distribution agreement with Paramount Pictures for future Indiana Jones films, meaning George Lucas' two iconic franchises are now firmly in Disney's hands.
Of course, Disney has owned Indiana Jones production rights since 2012, when the studio acquired LucasFilm. Until now, though, Paramount possessed marketing and distribution rights. Those now belong to Disney, making the process of making and releasing future Indiana Jones films much easier — not to mention more likely. In return for the rights, Paramount will receive "financial participation on any future films." In other words, the studio will still get an undisclosed cut of the business. Paramount will retain distribution rights for the first four films in the series.
Disney did not reveal plans for any new Indiana Jones installments — and inside sources say not to expect any such announcements in the immediate future. Still, the move is a clear bid to start putting additional whip-cracking archaeology adventures into motion. The question now is whether Harrison Ford, 71, will still be the star, or if Disney plans on rebooting the franchise altogether. Commence your speculation now!
I, for one, look forward to the further adventures of Mutt Williams.

Your a bieber fan. Fag
No, I just find your casting decisions atrocious.
Waltz- too creepy European
Spacey- too old, not masculine enough
Spader - too old and fat. He could play Brody though.
Worthington- nobody will believe he has a doctorate

Well, you're suggesting TEH BIEB.
Maybe Tom Selleck will be free this time around.
People like Sam Worthington? :huh:
A Skarsgård. They're everywhere anyway.

I really, really hope this is facetious. Not familiar with Waltz, but I can't picture any of the other three in anything even resembling an action movie... oh, wait.
Spader in Stargate. I rest my case.
Ryan Reynolds will be Indie.
David Boreanz as Indy.
Indy must be charming and confident.
Samuel L. Jackson of course.

:cry:
Peter Lorre.
Why can't a woman explore ruins and kill bad guys? It's time for a female Indiana Jones. I suggest Angelina Jolie.
Carl Malden

It makes sense, but I still don't like it.
Indy is tapped out.
I'd like some kind of final Harrison Ford movie, tbh. Something bittersweet, where they use Tom Stoppard's screenplay that Spielberg loved and George Lucas, in his insanity, disliked.

You might as well ask for Nathan Fillion.
Personally, I'd be fine with them making another one with Ford, but if they want to replace him/reboot the franchise, how about Joseph Gordon-Levitt?

Too android looking.
The next Indy should definitely be black.
Roseanne Barr.

I was serious about a Mutt Williams movie. -_-
That's worse than Daniel Craig as Bond.
Not even close. Jr. has great range, he wouldn't have to play Indy as a smart mouth punk.
I say Tom Selleck's waited long enough.

He's been in more than two movies.

At least 6 if counting all the Holmes/Stark portrayals. :contract:
I mentioned Holmes because it doesn't fit the character quite as well.

That seems to be his thing though. It's important to remember that movie types are stupid. If they sign Robert Downey Jr. to play Indiana Jones, he's going to be playing Robert Downey Jr. Just look at what they've done with Johnny Depp. Something tells me that they didn't start out envisioning the Lone Ranger as a movie about a smart-mouth weirdo Indian and his pet white guy. If they're going to make an Indiana Jones blockbuster, it's going to be giving people what they expect, and it is going to be as unadventurous as possible.

This is why they should find a young guy who reminds people of Harrison Ford. Or even Tom Selleck.

Any of those suggested would probably do. It's not like they're big shoes to fill.
Miley Cyrus would make a perfect female Indy.

Then she got fat.

He's a bit out of shape for that, I think? He would have made a great Han Solo during his Firefly days, because, let's face it, Han Solo and Malcolm Reynolds were pretty much the same characters.
How come Nathan Fillion got fat anyway? Is it his "metabolism"?
He probably enjoys eating more than looking at himself in the mirror.
I ate a pizza. I can't even judge. :(
He's not a starving young actor anymore. He's had a job for a while.
Boreanaz has got the right personality, but not the right look. Fillion actually sounds like a really good option to me. Hollywood's got plenty of trainers who could get him just enough into shape to do close-in action shots.
Going the film circuit, Greg Kinnear's got a couple of years left where he could pull it off.

Ben Browder, maybe? He's not young anymore, but he is 20 years younger than Ford.
Dare I say... Karl Urban?

Urban's tainted by looking like Josh Duhamel.

That's who I would pick if it were my movie. She would get a lot more use out of her whip than Harrison Ford did. Also there would be scenes where the villains turned the tables and used their whips on her.

I didn't realize Urban was quite as old as he was. I guess there's not much point in rebooting a franchise with a 70-year old star with a 50-year old star.
He is 41. A year younger than me.

So he'd be well over 50 when the second sequel came out.
Not necessarily the way they make them three at a time now.
Has anybody besides Peter Jackson done that? :huh:
I thought there was at least one other film where they pre-shot the sequel.

I think that was just the final book they decided to make into two parts.
Other than that it has just been Jackson and his Tolkien flicks that have done it recently.

If you're sure that you're going to do multiple movies, it saves a lot of money to film them back-to-back, or even concurrently. The catch, of course, is being sure enough that the first one is going to be successful to justify doing sequels at all.
Didn't they do that with Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3?
Still, Indy movies don't work like that. Each one is self-contained.

Indeed you are correct
Ford was 39 when Raiders came out. 40-somethings are a lot younger for their age than they used to be :whistle:
Nathan Fillion wins my thumbs-up.
But on the other hand, you could play Sallah.
