Not sure if I can imagine Pratt as Jones. Think he's great in roles like P&R and GOTG but as Indiana? Not sure I'm buying.

Hell yeah. I'd buy that.

I've said for awhile they need to go the James Bond route and just have a different Indy every few films.

See...I'm fine with this if they do two things:

1) Completely ignore Crystal Skull

2) Set the new film after the events of Last Crusade

They can turn it into a James Bond-like franchise with a new Indiana Jones every few movies. The character of Indiana Jones was supposed to be Lucas's answer to James Bond anyway.

I like the idea.

But to me... rebooting Indy is not so much about the actor.

It's about re-booting the spirit of Indy.

An Indiana Jones film should be the apex of live stunt work. shite no one has ever seen on film before. CGI should be shunned in Indy action scenes. There needs to be grit, dirt and more grit. And more dirt.

It needs to be fun but not goofy. Adventure before action. With mysticism, not magic.

Indiana Jones is a discoverer of the unknown, an uncoverer of the concealed, and tough as nails. Make Indiana Jones into who you wanted to be when you grew up.

That's all you have to do. Chris Pratt, Bradly Cooper, Chris Hemsworth... doesn't matter. Take up that whip and kick some arse. The world is waiting for it.

Robert Pattinson backed out? Interesting.

I'm not really feeling Chris Pratt as Indiana Jones. But we will see.

No. Would not go watch that shite. And I would hate Christ Pratt forever if he took that role.

I don't think I like this. I could be persuaded though, as Indiana Jones remains one of my favorite characters of all time

I'd much rather see this than a another sequel with an old, grumpy Harrison Ford.

Frick the reboot and sequels. With Indiana Jones, we need to look at prequels and WW2 stuff. That OSS stuff sounded interesting.

From the opening of the article:

Here’s one from the helluva good idea department

Disney has just started to turn its attention to reviving the Indiana Indiana Jones franchise


ummm....false.
