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.

Apparently he shrugged off the idea of playing Indy.

Chris Pratt needs to make sure his agent doesn't throw him into every big movie out there. I can appreciate a hard worker, but I feel people get tired of actors who are in every new movie. Start picking up on stuff you don't like when you see them on a screen all the time.

I absolutely refuse to watch any Indiana Jones movie that doesn't have Harrison Ford as Indy.

This is one of the reasons I think he is a bad fit for the new Jurassic World film.

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 have never heard of this. If they did ever make another Indiana Jones movie I just hope they don't do something stupid like having him survive a nuclear blast by getting in a fridge or involving aliens in any way. That would just be stupid.

Will you idiots stop this BS. You can make a good Indy movie without Ford, certainly one better than the last Indy movie with Ford.


This movie that hasn't been filmed, written, or cast is ruining my childhood!!!!! Seriously STFU.
