Indiana Jones To The World: I'll Sleep When I'm Dead!

[lazypadawan]

First Shia LeBeouf spills the beans yesterday, now Frank Marshall confirms it today with EmpireOnline: they are working on an Indy V script right as we speak. No word on when they hope to have this thing done but they better not take another 19 years! We have a Grampy Jones as it is :O.

Who should be Indy's next nemesis, besides time? We've already done Russkies and space aliens. In the Making of Indiana Jones book, one idea George Lucas toyed with repeatedly but never used was the idea of a haunted house and having Indy play ghostbuster. With the popularity of all things paranormal these days, why not go for it? Maybe he can battle vampires or something. Everybody likes vampires. What do you all think?

I would definitely pay to see a father-son adventure with Indy and Mutt ala Last Crusade. It would be fun to see them coming to terms with their relationship. And, of course, Marion is going to have to show up to rescue her men at some point :)

Indy is all about the locales, so an Egyptian themed one could be quite cool. I know they've already done that in the Indy spin off materials, but it would be new for the casual moviegoer. Otherwise, there's a whole Earth full of countries they haven't yet visited. China ... the Pacific Islands ... Australia ... all have interesting archaeological histories.

Ooh, I like the idea of Indy in Australia...

Indy hasn't been to Antarctica either. He can hang out with penguins.
