He's not in the movie . Disney already released a statement squashing the rumors . harrison is filming the new movie now with Spielberg. harrison ford is the only Indiana jones
I know that most people will disagree with this, but they should make a film based on one of the videogames, like: -The Infernal Machine -Fate of Atlantis -The Emperor's Tomb (I would highly support this one)
"Superman" IV had an interesting scenario. War profiteers from America, France, and Russia were the villains. They were the villains not because they came from a certain country, but because they were war profiteers betraying the interest of their countries and world peace. They could set up an interesting scenario like that, and then they wouldn't have to worry about offending a whole country.
Here's the choice of artifact I'd choose for Indiana Jones: Excalibur, the Sword in the Stone! They don't have to make Indy use against the bad guys, but it would be cool to see weapon-mongers in Europe try to recreate the metal Excalibur was made from (because that sword has got to be made of something special) and get destroyed by the wraith of God for their actions. I've been thinking of this for a while.
BanditIncorporated ore since the the movie is base in japan we could put the sword of miyamoto musashi insted exclibur and if you need more insite just google him he was amazing
CGI is a great tool to be used in moderation. As with anything else if used like a crutch for lazy directors/ producers to make a quick $. It ends up showing in the quality of the end product. ( Star Wars prequels)
The only problem with you final idea in the end is ,,Why is the knife of Cain in Japan?". I think having a more suitable item in Japan would fit better. Like some sort of ancient samurai sword or a scroll or a magical kanzashi (The name of the ornaments in the hair of geishas). Having the mystical item be a kanzashi might work well and explain why he needs the help of the geisha that he then falls for.
Elmar A. Hannah Im sooooooo glad u asked :D cos I had a whole extra section that I cut from the video, cos I didn't want it to go too long. But...(here we go. Im a bit of a history nerd)There was a period of Japanese history were Christian missionaries were allowed into japan, and Christianity became really popular. Like REALLY popular (mostly because the missionaries realized that if they succeeded in converting a leader of an area, all the inhabitants of that area would then become Christian also) so Christianity for a brief moment, became so popular in Japan that it risked overtaking the home-grown religions. So the powers-that-be cracked down, and basically exterminated Christianity from Japan. BUT....many Japanese families secretly continued to practise Christianity secretly, passing the family bible down from generation to generation. And it was not until the restoration (that I mention in this video) that these people could finally reveal themselves when missionaries where allowed back into japan again (many still had the original bibles given to their families by the first missionaries) All that is a little known, but TRUE part of Japanese history.So, I was thinking. The Knife of Cain could have been brought to Japan by one of those first missionaries (perhaps in order to get it away from people searching for it in Europe) so hence, Knife of Cain hidden in Japan. And doesn't all of that sound just like something that Indiana Jones would explain to another character in the movie? And its all true! I get goose bumps just thinking about it!
BanditIncorporated That sounds exactly like something Indy would say. I am a history nerd myself but European history is more my forte. I have a lot to learn about Japan.
Elmar A. Hannah Its super interesting (at least for me) here's a link too Wikipedia. Under the "Rediscovery and Return" section at the bottom of the page. Caleed the "Kirishitan" faith by Japanese people. Like I said, Im a history nerd :D My sister got me a book called "unknown history" as a present. And it was full of amazing stuff like that. Such as the Guano Wars of South America! Or the Mongolians very near conquest of Europe etc..
BanditIncorporated Thanks. The history of Japan has really been overlooked when it comes to things like movies, TV and video games. That is why I love the idea of having the next Indy movie in Japan.
***** I thought youd like that :D hey if u and mason do another VS podcast, I got one! Deadpool VS Lobo! I was gona do a video on it ages ago, but I never got around to it. Id love to hear who u guys would win
When I was a kid the only bit that freaked me out in Temple of Doom was the gross dinner scene, but I was cool with the pulling the heart out of the chest scene.
What if there was some strange unidentified blimp like thing that has been spotted occasionally by pilots and looks abandoned, but it's really the base of the hydra thing.
I love the idea of Indy in Japan. It could be set post WWII, have the cult send ninjas steal the mythical japanese artifact, the Amenonuhoko, where Indy tracks them down back to Japan which gives an opportunity to show off the japanese culture during that era, the sumo fight is a must
So they recently announced a new indy movie. This is what i'd like to see 1. Time period is 1937, mainly in Japan before the second Sino-Japanese War 2. create a legend about the creators of Japan. ex. (a powerful samurai sword, or some sort of orb) 3. Have the Imperial Japanese army work with Indy then betray him
Great ideas, Bandit, but one thing I think you could add would be to give Indy an antagonist that would last through multiple films; maybe a Darth Vader-esqe enforcer for the Hydra organization whose just as smart and tough as Indy and is always three steps ahead of him. I think it could a.) give Indy a foe that he can't beat by the end of the film b.) create a potentiallly iconic villain for the franchise, and c.) present Indy with both a physical and mental challenge all in one character
I do NOT want a reboot to the previous series and continuity. For all the faults of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, that film was at least smart enough to move the setting into the 1950's to account for Harrison Ford's age. I don't mind the character getting older. The genre shifted with the time period, which was a good idea.
I like atlantis, fountain of youth, spear of destiny, staff of moses, or maybe they could make something up entirely like the sankara stones or something
Here's an interesting thought. This is similar to what you were saying about the villains. They could do something along the line of "Superman" IV. The villains were war profiteers. (1 American, 1 Frenchman, and 1 Russian) They were villains not by virtue of being from a certain country, but because they were trying to threaten world peace for their own profits. (Or at least keep the threat of war alive.) They could also "Star Trek" VI it. The villains were both in the Federation camp and the Klingon camp. They were working together to keep the war going. Maybe they could have American and Russian war profiteers working together to keep the war going and their profits up. That way, we could say they're not villains by virtue of being from a certain country, but because they are working together to keep war alive. And then, we wouldn't have to worry about offending anyone.
I remember playing an indiana jones game called "Staff of Kings" which involved the staff moses used to depart the red sea as the artifact of the week. I thought that was really cool and maybe the villains could use it to gain total control of the seas and obliterate other nations with tsunamis or something like that.
This is a good ideal. I like the Illuminati or Knights Templar as a villain group. Though if its set in Japan in the 1930's shouldn't the object be something of Japanese Mythology? Perhaps something like Jimmu's bow, the First Emperor of Japan.
I think indy should be in the pacific islands and south America and maybe northern Russian tundra or Alaska on a quest for a map or artifact that leads to solving a puzzle for the grand finale ( make the movies a trilogy). i'd like to see more character development in Indiana jones as well as the people or organizations he confronts, have the plot build through the trilogy, have there be an indy girl sidekick (not a damsel in distress or love interest) just a woman who has the same archeology passion as Indiana, either they team up, or she always beats him to the location. (the sidekick woman could be played by Hayley Atwell) that could be some good onscreen chemistry Pratt and Atwell!
I hear what you're saying. But I think he made an interesting suggestion. If you make the villains belong to an organization like SPECTRE, that solves the problem. They wouldn't be villains because they're of a certain race or from a certain country. They would be villains because they belong to that organization. It could work and still be interesting. If the villains are predominantly (as he suggested ninjas), Indy could chat with a Japanese government agent. And he could explain that the Japanese government would like to see this organization brought down as much as Indy would. I see your concern here, but the SPECTRE idea could work.
Politically correct. Yeah the new Indiana role is gonna be kind of superhero surreal marvelish cgi garbage with a non-relatable storyline. Unless they make the villains Iranians. Now there is an idea. Bring it to the modern age vs. some imaginative heroic existence.
Huge fan here, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Thanks for all the content. I like how you invite the audience to share their ideas, it makes us feel like we are part of the creative process. I liked the ideas you presented on this video so much that I decided to build upon them. I agree with one of the other contributors, The knife of Cain might feel out of place in Japan. How about (and I'm taking this idea from another work of fiction) a Katana with extreme destructive power (like a lightsaber X 100) that would grant its wielder super-human strength and the tactical abilities and the knowledge of an ancient warlord. The sword would actually contain the soul of the warlord and possess the body of its wielder. Keep everything else you contributed (sumo, ninjas, a secret society) at the end Indi brings the sword back to a museum or historical society of some sort and we find out that he retrieved it for the real bad guys. A secret society that is accumulating artifacts, knowledge, and resources for their evil plans. They are building a "Noah's Ark" of some sorts. In the next movie, we find out they plan to bring about a doomsday event and their "Ark" is meant to help them rebuild society. Anyway, keep up the great work!
I admit for an artifact I think of the true Spear of Longinus, the spear that pierced Christ's side as he was on the cross. High potential for powers and Hitler was known to look for it when he was in his artifact hunting phase. As for a story, Atlantis would be sweet. As for a group, Japan does offer secret societies galore in the period. This was the time when Japan was led by a brutal military controlling a relatively weak Emperor, and they were brutally crushing China. But for a real secret society to fight, I have to go with Global Cthulhu Cults. Seriously, it's perfect.
Indiana Jones and the Forgotten Army: Location: China Artifact: Ghost Summoner (Kinda like your Knife of Kane except it summons the entire Tukota Warrior's Ghosts) Cult: Uprise Plot: Indiana Jones' son has recently died along with his wife (which was about half year ago). He is depressed and has just retired from being a professor at the college. He soon finds out clues to how is wife and son had died, and found out that they were on a mission before to find the Tukota Warrior Ghost Summoner. They were killed by ninjas. He travels to China to find the Summoner and to seek revenge. He is followed by his sidekick (Chris Pratt). They spend sometime in a quiet mountain village whilst searching for the Forgotten Army. Later they are attack by Uprise (the cult) and fight ninjas and a sumo wrestler. They escape, (for the fight was a draw) and they are on the run from Uprise. Soon after, they find the temple of the forgotten army. Not knowing that they're being tracked by Uprise.
All of these ideas sound perfect and amazing, but like another commenter said, Excalibur would be pretty cool. But I love the ideas you brought to the table as well! Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but neither Christ Pratt nor Indy 5 is confirmed yet, but still just a rumor. I think Chris Pratt would be alright for the rag-tag action hero, but as a professor, I'm not too sure. I'm sure it'd be good, though. Still better than Crystal Skull!
I think they should do a reboot of Indiana Jones, and I think that it's finally time to start making prequels. I also think they should be about a real archaeologist like "Professor Glenn Albert Black". They could say that Black led a double life. Prof. Glenn Black was born August 15th, 1900 so, pretty close to the Indiana Jones character already. He died September 2nd, 1964. He was born in Indianapolis, Indiana. So this could better explain how he got the nickname "Indiana", instead of simply saying he was named after the dog. Perhaps they named the dog after the state which they came from. Perhaps Black's father was a professor who worked for the army intelligence, so he and his family were given cover names, such as "Henry Jones, and Henry Jones Jr." for instance, but I still think they should try to find an actor who, at least, looks a little bit like a young Harrison Ford. Why use the name of a real archaeologist. Well, it makes it more interesting for adults as well as a younger crowd. It makes people start wondering, hmm, maybe Professor Black really did lead a double life. Out of all the real archaeologists, Prof. Black is the only one who might actually have been given the nickname "Indiana", for real, because of where he's from. It is known that the character of Indy was born in Princeton, New Jersey, but could've moved to Indianapolis, Indiana right after his birth, and that may have been where they lived until he was 7 or 8 years old. I felt that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skul was very childish. It left a Power Rangers kind of bad taste in my mouth. I think the first prequel could begin on November 11th, 1918. Yes, that's right, the final day of fighting during World War I. The last day that fighting took place and I believe it was the same day that the Armistice was signed. The American government may have become aware that Indy was serving in the Belgian army, so the U.S. army transferred him to the U.S. Army and decided they could use some more men in the U.S. Army Air Service Expeditionary Force(A.E.F.). So he trained how to fly a Breguet 14 B.2 biplane bomber(which explains how he knew how to fly one in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). This may also have been where Indy first met Jock Lindsy. Jock may also have been a pilot with the U.S. Army Air Service Expeditionary Force(A.E.F.). Indy and Jock could've been members of the I Corps Air Service First Army 1st Day Bombardment Group. You could say that Jock flew a Breguet Bomber as well. They both could be wearing bomber jackets(it gives Indy's costume a little more of a legitimate history, instead of just saying that he copied someone), like the one Indy continued to wear, at least until 1957(As we discover in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull). Jock and Indy could've taken part in the final battle of WWI during the "Meuse-Argonne Offensive". Which took place in and over the Argonne Forest in France, which isn't that far from the town of Verdun. The movie could begin showing us that Paramount Pictures mountain again, only this time it becomes the largest mountain in the distance as you begin to roll the opening credits showing us some of the landscape with appropriate music to accompany the scenery. Then, sounds of a battle can be heard...then, the ground battle can be seen like as if we are flying overhead in a biplane, but perhaps you can't hear our biplane or see our biplane. The camera tilts to the side and veers to the left to avoid machine gun fire for example, like we are seeing the battle from a pilot's point of view(Indy). Suddenly, a squadron or perhaps an entire wing of American biplanes comes into view, buzzing into the frame as we fly over Argonne Forest, coming from underneath us like as if they are pulling ahead of our invisible plane, and now they are ahead of us, but a little bit below us(us meaning the audience). Among them would be Jock and Indy flying their bombers in formation with the rest of the squadron or wing. The caption at the bottom of the screen would then read "France, 1918", or "North-East France, 1918", whichever way you wanna say it. Since the pilots couldn't talk to each other, there probably won't be much talking during this scene, except for whenever, if ever, Indy talks to himself or yells at the enemy. Like those "Everybody's lost but me." kind of comments, or perhaps you could slip in a Han Solo quote where Indy actually talks to the airplane itself saying "Easy baby, hold together." or "Please baby hold together". A battle commences. Indy and Jock drop their bombs, and open fire with forward machine guns, perhaps even engaging in dogfights with German biplanes. I don't know exacting details about this battle, but there might be ways of finding some more details. I did find out that there was a WWI United States ace pilot named "Jones". His full name was "Lieutenant Clinton Leonard Jones Jr.". His unit was the 22d Aero Squadron. He had 3 shared victories(shared with Jock perhaps), and he won the Distinguished Service Cross two times. Oh Indy's changed his name before. In "The Young Indians Jones Chronicles" he was going by the name "Henri Defense". Indy and Jock could also drop bombs and/or grenades by hand as well. After a heck of a climactic battle you could show that the German ground forces were now in full retreat. Then, after showing all of the surviving pilots yelling in joy of their victory, you could show Indy wave at Jock or maybe give him a thumbs up as he turns and flies off into the sunset, as the sun starts to get low in the sky, just like they did at the end of the teaser sequence in "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and you could even play the exact same music that they played when Indy and Jock flew off into the sunset after just narrowly escaping from the Hovitos. Then, you could cut to the next scene, where we have jumped ahead 4 years to 1922. The scene would show the outside of the Sorbonne University of Paris, France. Indy had attended the University of Chicago from 1918 to 1920. During those years he met and became friends with Egyptologist Professor Abner Ravenwood. Indy had first met him in November of 1918, which is when Indy first began attending the University of Chicago. Because Indy started school almost 2 and half months late, it took him a while to get caught up, but when he did, he actually got ahead, going to school in the summer as well. When Indy chose his electives, one of the classes he chose was Professor Ravenwood's Archaeology 101 class. During his first class with Professor Ravenwood, he began to recognize him. This was the man he saw 6 years ago when he was 12, and living in Utah with his dad. Indy had taken the Cross of Coronado from Abner, and he chased Indy, finally cornering him in his own home. Indy remembered the words he spoke to him "You lost today kid...but that doesn't mean you gotta like it." With that, Abner put his fedora on Indy's head, and he's been wearing one ever since(maybe even the same one). During class, Indy could tell that Abner recognized him as well, but didn't say anything. After class, Indy approached him as Abner smiled at him. I don't know how the conversation went, but I think we should probably leave that to the scriptwriter. Not long after that they became good friends, and remained good friends for the next 8 years. Abner introduces Indy to his daughter Marion, who is only 10 years old at the time. Abner and Indy spent the summers going on expeditions and digs, sometimes helping and assisting other archaeologist and egyptologists with their excavations. One of the artifacts that Abner was searching for was the head piece to "The Staff of Ra". Abner also had a fascination with wanting to go in search of the mythical city of Shangri-La, supposedly located in a valley enclosed in the Kunlun Mountains of Tibet. Abner would always bring his daughter Marion along with them on these digs and expeditions. Indy learned a lot from Abner during these two years. Abner always thought it was ridiculous how Indy would insist upon bringing his bullwhip with him, wherever they went. He may have joked about it, possibly calling Indy "Zorro", or "Cowboy Jones". Indy managed to graduate from the University of Chicago in just two short years, possibly with the help of Abner, but in all of the movies, they show that Indy is very intelligent, so there's not much doubt that he was literally at the top of his class, and then some. Becoming much like a father to him, Abner gives Indy the recommendation to start working on his Ph.D. at the Sorbonne University in Paris, France. Which is not all that far away from Verdun, where he fought in the final battle of WWI. So Indy takes his recommendation, and travels to Paris, France in August of 1920 after spending the summer working with Abner on another expedition. Now, getting back to the movie. The teaser sequence ended as Indy was flying off into the sunset in France in 1918, now in the next scene, we cut to the front exterior of the University of Paris(also known as the Sorbonne University), just like they cut to the front exterior of Marshal College in Connecticut in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Only this time, Indy is still a student who was now into his 3rd year of a Ph.D. program that focused on ancient written languages, and was taking his 2nd course in classical Greek archaeology. So this would mean that Indy is now 23 years old, and the year is 1922. So a caption down at the bottom of the screen could read "Paris, 1922"(just to let the audience know that we've now jumped ahead 4 years). You could say that Professor Ravenwood is either an acquaintance or a friend of Howard Carter, and that he has sent him a cable asking him to come to Luxor, Egypt to assist him with his search for The Tomb of Tut 'Ankh Amun. Abner would've sent Carter a cable informing him that he'll be there and might also bring an archaeology student of his as well. Abner would then send Indy a cable to let him know of the situation and how close Howard Carter believes he is to finding the tomb of King Tut, telling him to meet him at a specific location in Luxor, Egypt at a certain time, on a certain date. The cable could have caught the attention of the U.S. military intelligence. They may have approached Indy, and offered him a job working for them on a permanent basis. This would certainly explain how Indy gets caught up in all of these adventures, and why everyone is always trying to kill him all the time, but doesn't seem to happen to any other archaeologist. This could also be taking place sometime in October because I'm not really that sure about the travel times of the 1920s. I know that Abner would probably have to take a train, then board a ship that would take him across the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea, and then to Egypt. Indy would've had to take a train, and then a ship in order to cross the Mediterranean Sea. This is where they could do that thing where they show kind of like a map with that red line that shows us where Indy is going on the map as the red line begins to extend to his destination as they show back ground images that take place during his trip as they play the Indiana Jones theme. So we would have to say that this is taking place on a date in October that would give them both plenty of time to arrive by November 4th, which was the date in which Howard Carter discovered the very first steps that led down to the entrance of King Tut's tomb. However, it would not be confirmed that it was indeed King Tut's tomb until November 25th when Howard Carter had cleared all the sand away from the stairs and the entrance and discovered several seals on the bottom of the door with Tutankhamun's name on them. Perhaps Carter hires Sallah, and his diggers, and this is where Indy meets Sallah for the first time. Obviously, the scriptwriter should decide on what date Indy and Abner were present, lending whatever assistance they could give Carter. The scriptwriter could also build suspense and intrigue around this story, possibly involving the mafia, by saying that they are interested, or perhaps a private collector who's got connections up the wazue(like Walter Donovan from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). Another thing they could throw at them could be a German archaeological competitor like Rene Belloq was to Indy in Raiders of the Lost Ark, or perhaps like Elsa Schneider from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Another possibility could be a radical religious group that is perhaps frightened by information these archaeologists might find in the tomb of King Tut, similar to the religious group that kept trying to stop Indy from finding the Holy Grail in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. So there could be fight scenes, chase scenes, love scenes. Abner would most certainly bring his daughter "Marion" with him, so she would be along for the ride. However, bare in mind though that Indy is 23 by this point, which would mean that Marion is only 14 years old(because she is presumably 9 years younger than Indy). I know times were different back then but, let's be careful about making Indy look TOO bad here. I don't think Indy and Marion began a romantic relationship this early on. I believe that started happening when Marion was 17 or 18(although, Marion DID punch him pretty hard in Raiders of the Lost Ark). However, I do believe that Indy and Marion were good friends by this point, and trusted each other like family. I don't know what you might want to call this movie. Perhaps you could call it "Indiana Jones and the Tomb of the Pharaoh's Curse" or something like that. Coming up with names and titles for things has never really been my strong suit, so you might want to work with the title for the next 2 or 3 years. If they decided to make this into a trilogy, then I think the 2nd film should definitely be taking place in China, because we need to introduce the character of Wu Han as quickly as possible, because remember what he said in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom "I followed you on many adventures...". So every Indy film from here on out, Indy should have Wu Han in tow, in order to make his statement accurate. Perhaps the teaser sequence for this one, could be that bad business in the jungles of Honduras that Chattar Lal mentions in passing during the dinner scene at Pankot Palace in the Temple of Doom, where he says that Indy was accused of being a grave robber, rather than an archaeologist. However, that story takes place on March 21st, 1933 and is in the Indiana Jones and the Philosopher's Stone novel. If they wanted to, they could have Indy's competitor "Forrestal" be in this one. They could show us what Indy meant in Raiders of the Lost Ark when he said to Satipo "He was good.........................................he was very, very good". Forrestal might have even been the one who started spreading the rumor that Indy was a grave robber, rather an archaeologist. Then, the teaser sequence for the 3rd film, could be about the other bad business that Chattar Lal mentions that took place in Madagascar, in which the Sovereign of Madagascar screamed at Indy, as he made his escape, that he would cut his balls off if he ever returned to his land, however, as the story got out, some changed the story to the Sovereign threatening to cut his "head" off, if he ever returned to his land, not his balls lol. Perhaps this could be the teaser sequence for the 2nd film, I don't know. Keep in mind though that Indy does not see anything that might make him superstitious, or believe in magic until the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1936, hence his statement in Raiders "I don't believe in magic, a lot of superstitious hocus pocus". So, even though they mucked that statement up in Temple of Doom, let's try to make that statement mostly accurate. Perhaps Temple of Doom was just an isolated incident kind of thing before Raiders. What do you think?
I'd like to see either the Fountain of Youth or Atlantis. Either way they could delve into some interesting cultural, mythical stuff; the period conflict between the American natives and the U.S army, then into old Ponce De Leon pirate ship stuff...or, explore the ancient Greek gods going in with Atlantis. They already did two movies based around Judeo Christian mythology, so forget Noah. But I love the Japan idea! One of my favorite parts of Temple was the beginning sequence in old Shanghai, which is very much the way you describe Japan at that time. Personally, I don't care if the new movie offends me as long as it doesn't suck like Crystal Skull. Please! Make fun of my mom but don't suck like Crystal Skull!
Ohhh, I love the idea of the Knife of Cain. Trying to think of another artifact with relevance to the Bible... If I had to choose between the three... story elements... I guess... that you offered up, it would have to Noah's Ark. The Lost City of Atlantis would result in an underwater setting, and that's not very Indiana Jones to me. The Fountain of Youth has already been done, so cross that off. The search for Noah's Ark would be a bit similar to the Last Crusade, but I'll go with it.
Maybe the Fountain of Youth would be used to explain how Indi is a new actor. That Stick of Caine was EXCELLENT, reminds me a lot to Death Note. Could you work for Hollywood, please?
This sounds awesome. I would so watch your idea as a movie. I think some variant of the philosopher's stone (eternal life, turning base metals/just about anything into gold, whathaveyou) would be interesting to see. I would want that one set in Europe, though. For Japan, if you want to stick to the mythological route, it could be something like the Mirror of Amaterasu (look up the legend, it's interesting).
I think the fountain of youth is right up Indies alley. He could just go island hopping across the Carribean with a Latino woman and escaping the Hydra organization who seem to be all over the place to find him. The islands would make for some really great traveling scenes with the red line on the map.
Maybe the Spear of Destiny and have it be set before temple of doom, or have it be in WW2 which I don't really like the sound of. I also like to think that Indy exits in the MCU because of Red Skulls line "And the Fuhrer digs for trinkets in the desert" a reference to Raiders. Since Marvel publishes Star Wars comics for Disney, they should have and Indiana Jones vs Hydra and the Red Skull out of universe story.
Great video, bandit! Here's a question about the characters to be included in the sure to be many, many new INDIANA JONES films: Do you think they should also include some of Indy's friends like Marcus Brody, Sallah, Short Round, Willie, and Marion? How about his enemies like Rene Belloq? Or should they avoid them altogether?
I personally think that the Knife should be sentient, and whoever holds it in possession for awhile turns crazy and transform into a psychological mess with the only thought going in it's head is suicide, as if the knife was persuading the owner to kill him/her self. By doing so it's open for interpretation if it's the real Kane from christian mythology continuing a murder spree with this artifact, or if it's something different entirely. This could also be used as a tool to assassinate someone whilst keeping your hands clean, since it would appear as if it was the target simply committed suicide. It could be done as if an organisation had a plan which a member of the organisation acted as a higher upper in the political world, he would attend party's or weddings of other political leaders all over the world and when he had established himself, the organisation would start presenting the knife as a gift of allegiance or something to the supposed targets, killing them one by one. This member I mentioned could also work as a plot device that was like a clue for Indie and Co. Also, the deaths of these people wouldn't be suspicious either since the politic elites are known of having major stress issues and the death investigation would pretty much end there. Tell me what you guys think, if you managed to read through it all.
Why are you wanting a to make sure we don't offend anyone? That is really what is wrong with this country. It doesn't matter what you do, you will offend someone. I understand not wanting to offend people, but this walking on glass egg shells is getting tiring. People really need to take life with a grain of salt and stop getting their panties in a bunch over the simplest things.
Penfookio Gaming Well.....Im not sure if yr American or not. If u are American, this will be new to u, but if yr not, cast yr mind back to the 80s and early 90s. Cos back in the 90s, only the "domestic" box office mattered. So only selling tickets in the US mattered, and the result was a tonne of gun ho US propaganda movies, which Im sure were perfectly fine in the US, but overseas it was the most painful, groan worthy crap to sit thru. It was terrible! And that's all fine, nothing wrong with the pro-america theme, back in the 80s and early 90s, cos that's all that mattered. But the harsh reality today is, its totally the other way around. If a movie doesn't do well overseas, u might as well forget it. That's why transformers4 spent so much time in china, and why Terminator Genisys seems to have been green lit for a sequel, even though it wasn't well received in America, cos it did well overseas. So in answer to your original question. Offending people matters today, because international audiences matter today. So u cant serotype Asians, and arabs, and latinos as bad guys, and still expect to make a profit, since those and other groups make up half of yr audience.
BanditIncorporated True, you can't stereotype an entire culture. However, the Soviets were not a culture, they were a political group (like the Nazis) which like the Nazis, were evil. Also, while it would be untruthful to stereotype Chinese in general as villains, I think Chinese gangsters, like gangsters in any other country, are villains. Plus, Communist China (which is sadly still what China is today) is evil. So, you could easily and rightfully cast them as villains, as well as any other Communist regime anywhere in the world. You could also have the Young Turks of Turkey, or any other radical revolutionaries. The bottom line is, you can't just avoid portraying groups as villains because you're worried about offending people. No matter what you do, someone will be offended. Do you think the Neo-Nazis would appreciate their idols being portrayed as villains? No! But does it matter? Also no! Simply put, they WERE villains, just like any of these other groups, and anyone who cannot realize that does not deserve to be taken into consideration when we're worried about not offending people. On an unrelated note, what would the Knife of Cain be doing in the Empire of Japan?
BanditIncorporated Just wanted to correct one statement, Terminator Genisys was actually greenlit for a sequal BEFORE the movie actually came out in theaters (domestic and overseas) b/c James Cameron is set to receive the rights to the franchise back in 2019 and Paramount wanted to get as much out of it as they could. Thus they greenlit a sequel w/out knowledge of how the first was going to be received by the general public. In regards to Hollywood needing to be politically correct or over-sensitive to other cultures and ethnicities, I agree that they should make sure that they are not just making $h!t up when it comes to how a culture is (the Temple of Doom Indian culture for example), but not being able to use other countries as the bad guy to me is being TOO sensitive. For one thing, just because a bad guy is from a certain culture/country, doesn't mean that the entire country/culture is evil. The easy fix would be to make sure that there is another character of same culture/country that is able to aid Indy to overcome the corrupt bad guy.
The Russian ComicBook Geek Bro, speaking as a person of Russian decent. Did the Crystal Skull having the soviets as the villain annoy u? Or other Russian people?
How about the Holy Lance, or maybe even the Crown of Thorns that Jesus wore. Another idea could be the Staff of Moses. Since this is based on religious items, the Nazi Wehrmacht would be returning for this film. And maybe have some third party cult come in to play. Also, if they really wanted to, they could make a film where the Ark gets stolen from the warehouse and they have to get it back. They could bring everyone back for this film. Including Mac. The possibilities are endless.
I think maybe spear of destiny could be a good idea and have it be a device that who ever wields it makes the user smite anyone in the world but in the end it corrupts and ha mind of it own and eventually killing the wielder and the men who follow him and when the users dead all thats left is 33 silver peices and if they want to use the nazis again its been said that hitler might've had it maybe its the journey of the nazis collecting the spear
China's cannibalistic slog into totalitarianism was called the Cultural Revolution. Japan's turn from from an agrarian aristocracy to democratic capitalism was called the Meiji Restoration but it began in the late 1800s and by the time we get to the era of the Indiana Jones stories, it had pretty much been completed. Ninja were not really a thing anymore but there were two exciting new homegrown martial arts, Judo and Aikido, that enraptured tens of thousands of new students. Sumo are in way better condition than their shape suggests but they don't know how to punch people. They don't study that. Sumo is a type of wrestling. It'd be more interesting to have Indy put his boxing up against a brawny judo player somewhere near the middle of the film and finally a deceptively slight but spry, slightly older (maybe even female) Aikido practitioner at the end. Aside from that,I like your death worldwide conspiracy/hydra-type group and the idea that the series needs to remind people that Indy is a man with an intelligence about the world and so too should be this movie. They shouldn't be afraid to have bad guys of any color but they need to make sure they don't do something that inadvertently offends an entire race or nation of people. If they are ever at a loss for what certain minorities may think of a particular piece of dialogue or a plot piont, they can always find one of us and ask. Some of us actually work as professors, researchers, translators and writers. We might even be capable at more than one of those things simultaneously. Find a Japanese-American credentialed in Japanese history in some way and run some ideas past him or her and credit her as a story consultant. I guarantee you their one time fee won't break your budget and you'll be glad you bought some street cred with the group you're portraying, be they Japanese, Indonesians or South Africans...wait, there's a great villain. Apartheidist white South Africans. I certainly don't feel sorry for them. Punch away, Indy! Punch away!
also it would be awesome if we had a harrison ford cameo, like after the credits we see chris pratt walk into an office and he says "I brought you this old man." and then harrison ford says "You really think you are the first one to do this Jr."
Indiana Jones 5 Time: 1962 Main Location: Japan Villains: An Artifact Organization Artifact: Knife of Cain Indiana Jones: Harrison Ford Mutt: Chris Pratt
+Jake Rzonca What do you mean "Yay", by the time the fifth Indi film comes out Harrison Ford will be 76! He was already too old to play him in the last one which came out in 2008. That's one of the reasons that made me dislike it, Indi felt like a passenger, and like we're constantly reminded that he's old. Imagine what it'll be like in the new one. I agree with Bandit, he should be recast in a "James Bond-type" way. As for who should play him I don't know. I was thinking Chris Pratt when he said it but now I'm not so sure. Any ideas?
nope , Disney stated last week that chris pratt wont even be in the movie . not sure where those rumors started . harrison ford is coming back as Indiana jones in 2019 with Spielberg directing . Indiana jones will age just like everyone else in life . the movie will be set 11 years after crystal. it will be set in 1968 during the Vietnam War . one of the rumored plots has to do with ancient Cambodian temples and the murderous khmer Rouge dynasty of the early 1970s. there won't be any more Nazi , that was 38 years before in indy jones movies . the new villains will be the vietcong and the khmer Rouge. according to Disney , harrison ford will be the only Indiana jones ever . with Vietnam it puts indy into southeast Asia ,which is somewhere new for him.
I'm fully aware of what Disney is doing. Or what Disney is rumored to be doing or whatever. But i hate that idea. I hate that Indi will eventually become this old man, way past his prime. I usually hate reboots but it either should be rebooted or just left alone. I don't think Harrison Ford coming back is anything to be excited about because Indi should be a man in the prime of his life (I so think anyway).
Disney said it won't be a reboot ,it will be indiana jones in the 1960s . As for leaving it alone , crystal still made 1.1 billion dollars. Disney isn't about to leave money on the table .
It's already in filming. Harrison Ford is in production playing Indiana jones . Disney said the role won't become james bond . Spielberg is directing alone and harrison will remain as Indiana jones . Disney said no one else will ever play him . It's already in production. Disney also said chris pratt nor shia lebaoef will ever be in a bond movie .
I agreed with the no-Nazi point. The villians could be a group of evil tomb raiders, with plans of being a secret super power influencing the world by using the powers of the artefacts they dig up. But they are self aware enough so they use proxies to avoid any curses/traps etc.
Indy has to get Bandit's Sunglasses before the bad guys do and use them to see the future of gaming so they can profit off of the games before the actual devs make them. But when the evil boss puts on the glasses he sees poptart cat and his mind is blown.
Here's how I'd do it. Harrison Ford Indy passes on the hat and the rest of the outfit to his grandson (Mutt's son) (played by a new actor), who takes on his grandpa's nickname Indiana. The bad guys are either a made-up country, or an organization similar to Hydra, maybe with James Bond -esque villains. Personally, I would love to see more supernatural stuff, but I'm not sure if everyone else would.
Lucas shoulda done an epic story arc and ended the whole shebang back where it all began : South America. "Indiana Jones and the Cities of Gold" Here's the opening crawl : The year was 1560. The Spanish have been at war with the Incas for nearly forty years and forcing an Inca retreat into Villacomba Valley (Valley of the Snakes), where they held off the invaders until 1572. When the Spanish finally conquered the Incas they found the valley largely deserted. It appeared as if the Incas had fled to a new location in the rainforests of what is now southern Brazil taking their vast treasures of gold with them. Treasures hidden in the lost cities of gold. Cities that were never found...until now
Obscure Entertainment yeah dude, picture it " Indiana Jones and the Lost Cities of Gold" we bring back that same old Nazi treasure hunter from Raiders.
I am sorry Bandit, but you sound like a hypocrite when you say that its fine Indie is punching nazis, but its apparently offensive to portray soviets or chinese as bad guys. Implying that germans offcourse would never get offended, not even by an anti-german movie like "Inglorious bastards", but people in the rest of the world would easily get offended. Despite all your anthropological sensitivity, you clearly have a blind spot when it comes to germans.
+The Blue Baron Or maybe he's someone who considers the two different? You don't have to be German to be a Nazi. Nazi's are more a political ideology like communism is and not a nationality. I mean hey Hitler was Austrian anyway
+SynX SevenfoldX you've got a point there, another example is Josef Stalin he was one of the worst people in history his actions led to the deaths of millions even more than Hitler and he wasn't Russian he was Georgian.
You come up with the BEST stories! Indiana Jones is in transitioning Japan with a Geisha love interest would be AMAZING! The sets, costuming, diversity in actors (taking a British guy and slap some bronzer on him wouldn't cut it for Japan), AH! Just so cool! and Ninjas!
perfect villain: he could pursue ex-Nazis on the run while also looking for their lost gold. (people similar to in the Odessa file). We could even get Christoph Waltz to play one of the former Nazis. they could go from Switzerland to Argentina and everywhere in between. The ex-nazis could be pursuing the gold to buy back their former government, and Indy must stop them before they find it. He could be fighting a new villain while also punching Nazis. Also at the end, how all the artifacts kill the villains, you could have the gold weigh down a boat or plane and all the Nazis drown or something like that.
I actually want to try and write this story out you made up, heck I'll credit you too. I wish I really had an imagination to come up with a good story like the one you made up on the spot. It's super cool!
I think It needs to take place between 1968-1979. As long as it can have a time skip because I would like to see Indy in the 60s and 70s. If Chris Pratt were to play Indiana Jones, it should take place between The Last Crusade and Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull. It can be a movie similar to The Godfather part 2 where it shows a young Vito while also showing Michael Corleone as Godfather. Short Round, Willie, and Sallah needs to make a return. Have Indy feel like he is old but is still enjoying what he does despite modern setbacks. Have a bit of connections with the Young Indiana Jones Episodes with Indy 5.
Out of the 3 artefacts you suggested, I'm definitely leaning towards Atlantis, as the underwater setting will definitely bring something new to the film series. However, if we are taking inspiration from the Indy video games, I'd like to see some kind of adaptation of Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb. It basically has Indy travelling across Prague, Istanbul, Hong Kong and Shanghai, in pursuit of a fictitious artefact called "the Heart of the Dragon." If streamlined a bit, it might make good live action movie, although I'm guessing other fans of the Indy games would rather see Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis on the big screen.
Just one thing for a good Indiana Jones 5. One thing. Fate of Atlantis. They dont need a new wacky script, they dont need Shia LaBeouf, just say that Kingdom of the crytal skull is non.canon and make a Fate of Atlantis movie. That makes everyone happy. It makes the hardcor fans happy, it makes the gamers happy that played FoA and it makes the production company happy, because it makes them even richer.
***** Technically, they were Interdimensional beings, but I can definitely see where you're coming from on that one. However, although surviving a nuclear explosion in a lead lined refrigerator is on the fringe of believability at best, don't you think it's still far more believable than say, surviving a fifty foot fall out of an airplane in a rubber life raft and then riding said dingy on a fast, steep run down a treacherous icy mountain, across sharp jagged rocks and over quickly flowing rapids, and surviving the run without the dingy or it's passengers being suffering any [physical] harm? As for the gophers, you'll have to be more specific with what was wrong with them. Were they too cute for an Indiana Jones movie?
The Blue Baron The raft thing that was unrealistic as the nuclear fridge, but in my opinion, with the nuclear fridge they take it too far. And the groundhogs, well i hate those things, dont like them and dont like how they were animated, its kinda uncanny vally isnt it.
can I just say that, the Panckot palace banquet actually looked appetising, compared to what the starving village served up to Willy Scott. "eat it". you would of thought that Indy would of brought back with him, a few loaf of breads, when he returned to the village with its sacred stone and 300 staving children.
I don't agree that the movie needs to cater to people who are racially sensitive. Nazis are all german and white but that doesn't mean it says anything about german, white people. But that being said I wouldn't mind a Hydra-like organisation. And GREAT idea about having it take place in Japan.
I agree. I mean there's no denying that both China and Russia have had monstrous regimes. When it comes to tyrants Mao and Stalin are at least as bad as Hitler, especially in terms of sheer death count. Casting people working for these regimes as bad guys really isn't much of a stretch and not comparable to what they did in temple of doom.
I don`t care what race a villain is as long as a whole country isn`t stereotyped .We don`t want the Brazil vs The Simpson or India vs George Lucas thing to happen again.
Why not lump Atlantis, the fountain of youth and Noah's ark together. Like in the beginning of the movie old (Harrison Ford) Indy finds himself in Spain where he found Noah's ark but then there's a clue to atlantis inside it, but when on the way to find atlantis there is some kind of group that seem to be following them and eventually indy gets captured. After traveling some more times to a few coincidental landmark locations indy and whoever he's with, ends up (before Indy could find the location of Atlantis) eventually in atlantis, where the group of kidnappers knew of the location for a long long time now and all they needed was to fulfill the prophecy to restart the fountain of youth that Indy's gang is surprised to know had anything to do with atlantis, but then the villains continue by talking about the prophecy of a well weathered traveler who would one day come. They then say that there plan is to drain the rest of indy's youth. But stay with me, indy fails and dies it also seems that the kidnappers have won but after the villains get there youth they soon realize they are rapidly age backwards into nothingness but it seemed Indy had just died and his group still tied it seems that something was happening in the empty space where the men were and it appeared they all started aging again but back-forward and the potential of the youth and life of the men filled the fountain and started to drown indy's body but like a sponge the liquid from the fountain was absorbed by indy's lifeless husk and after a mist that was made after hitting Indy's body a younger (Chris Prat) Indian Jones finishes the story like all Indiana Jones movie ends.
I can't imagine Chris Pratt being an intelligent and mature archaeologist.
He's not in the movie . Disney already released a statement squashing the rumors . harrison is filming the new movie now with Spielberg. harrison ford is the only Indiana jones
I know that most people will disagree with this, but they should make a film based on one of the videogames, like:
-The Infernal Machine
-Fate of Atlantis
-The Emperor's Tomb (I would highly support this one)
+DWalker61 I don't think many would disagree
I think it could work as inspirations from those games.
Indiana Jones vs. The Illuminati.
+LILPAPASMURF97 and the death note should be the artifact
they haven't done one in America so just make the artifact the U.S. Nuclear launch codes....
Love that dinner scene. Political correctness will destroy Indy 5.
The guy in this video is all about PC. That's why he's having that arrogant commanding title "how to do it".
Republic of MAC Indiana Jones was never good to begin with
Well, I did enjoyed the first three very much.
Not if it's changed in the final movie
"Superman" IV had an interesting scenario. War profiteers from America, France, and Russia were the villains. They were the villains not because they came from a certain country, but because they were war profiteers betraying the interest of their countries and world peace. They could set up an interesting scenario like that, and then they wouldn't have to worry about offending a whole country.
Here's the choice of artifact I'd choose for Indiana Jones: Excalibur, the Sword in the Stone! They don't have to make Indy use against the bad guys, but it would be cool to see weapon-mongers in Europe try to recreate the metal Excalibur was made from (because that sword has got to be made of something special) and get destroyed by the wraith of God for their actions. I've been thinking of this for a while.
Excalibur
Who wouldn't want that?
Noah Daglio OMG yesssss! Excalibur would be amazing!
That is brilliant.
BanditIncorporated ore since the the movie is base in japan we could put the sword of miyamoto musashi insted exclibur and if you need more insite just google him he was amazing
Excalibur for something set in Europe
The swords of Miyamoto Musashi for Japan (let's just call them the Twin Dragon Fangs for now)
Use practical effects as much as possible. And CG as little as possible.
+Eternaly Random yeah that was the problem with crystal skull. They used too many CGIs
+Eternaly Random Absolutely no CGI, how about that?
CGI is a great tool to be used in moderation. As with anything else if used like a crutch for lazy directors/ producers to make a quick $. It ends up showing in the quality of the end product. ( Star Wars prequels)
The only problem with you final idea in the end is ,,Why is the knife of Cain in Japan?".
I think having a more suitable item in Japan would fit better. Like some sort of ancient samurai sword or a scroll or a magical kanzashi (The name of the ornaments in the hair of geishas). Having the mystical item be a kanzashi might work well and explain why he needs the help of the geisha that he then falls for.
Elmar A. Hannah Im sooooooo glad u asked :D cos I had a whole extra section that I cut from the video, cos I didn't want it to go too long. But...(here we go. Im a bit of a history nerd)There was a period of Japanese history were Christian missionaries were allowed into japan, and Christianity became really popular. Like REALLY popular (mostly because the missionaries realized that if they succeeded in converting a leader of an area, all the inhabitants of that area would then become Christian also) so Christianity for a brief moment, became so popular in Japan that it risked overtaking the home-grown religions. So the powers-that-be cracked down, and basically exterminated Christianity from Japan. BUT....many Japanese families secretly continued to practise Christianity secretly, passing the family bible down from generation to generation. And it was not until the restoration (that I mention in this video) that these people could finally reveal themselves when missionaries where allowed back into japan again (many still had the original bibles given to their families by the first missionaries) All that is a little known, but TRUE part of Japanese history.So, I was thinking. The Knife of Cain could have been brought to Japan by one of those first missionaries (perhaps in order to get it away from people searching for it in Europe) so hence, Knife of Cain hidden in Japan. And doesn't all of that sound just like something that Indiana Jones would explain to another character in the movie? And its all true! I get goose bumps just thinking about it!
BanditIncorporated That sounds exactly like something Indy would say. I am a history nerd myself but European history is more my forte. I have a lot to learn about Japan.
Elmar A. Hannah Its super interesting (at least for me) here's a link too Wikipedia. Under the "Rediscovery and Return" section at the bottom of the page. Caleed the "Kirishitan" faith by Japanese people. Like I said, Im a history nerd :D
My sister got me a book called "unknown history" as a present. And it was full of amazing stuff like that. Such as the Guano Wars of South America! Or the Mongolians very near conquest of Europe etc..
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_Christians_of_Japan
BanditIncorporated Thanks. The history of Japan has really been overlooked when it comes to things like movies, TV and video games. That is why I love the idea of having the next Indy movie in Japan.
The Japan idea is fantastic !
holy shit. if they did the fountain of youth they could make harrison turn into pratt
but then we'd be in like the 50s with communists and not 30s where indy got to be fun,
a recked Noah's ark that shipped the fountain of youth to atlantis
And disappeared into the Bermuda triangle
BanditIncorporated yes
Super Kami Dende Hilarious !!!
The flaming sword that was said to protect the Garden of Eden, or if we are going that way, The Garden of Eden itself would be a cool idea
If Harrison Ford isn't in it, then i'm not gong to watch it.
Well, he's like 70 at this point. So it would be really hard to make a movie with him as Indy
I think the main difference between the face melt and the heart pull is the heart pull feels more realistic than the face melt
FOOTBALL FIELD FIIIIIIIGHT!
***** I thought youd like that :D hey if u and mason do another VS podcast, I got one! Deadpool VS Lobo! I was gona do a video on it ages ago, but I never got around to it. Id love to hear who u guys would win
BanditIncorporated Ohhhhh that is a good one. We'll be definitely doing another one, that's a great match-up.
***** Thanx, partly the reason I never made the vid was I just couldnt figure out who would win :D
You guys should really do another video together! It was hilarious the first time!
FORD FIGHT!
Completely agree with the gritty violence. That was some of the stuff that, IMO made the old ones so great.
When you were talking about main cultures I started thinking of Japan right before you said it. Great minds think alike.
They should have done "The Fate of Atlantis" and they still should do it. Amazing story that has authentic Indiana Jones adventure feel to it.
Rumor has it that Harrison Ford it sticking his geriatric nose into this movie again.....no. No grandpa Indy, just no
When I was a kid the only bit that freaked me out in Temple of Doom was the gross dinner scene, but I was cool with the pulling the heart out of the chest scene.
You were scared by the heart ripping but cool with face melting? Wow! I actually had the exact opposite reaction when I watched it as a kid.
What if there was some strange unidentified blimp like thing that has been spotted occasionally by pilots and looks abandoned, but it's really the base of the hydra thing.
I love the idea of Indy in Japan. It could be set post WWII, have the cult send ninjas steal the mythical japanese artifact, the Amenonuhoko, where Indy tracks them down back to Japan which gives an opportunity to show off the japanese culture during that era, the sumo fight is a must
I like the knife of cane idea and Indy goes to japan that would be awesome!
So they recently announced a new indy movie. This is what i'd like to see
1. Time period is 1937, mainly in Japan before the second Sino-Japanese War
2. create a legend about the creators of Japan. ex. (a powerful samurai sword, or some sort of orb)
3. Have the Imperial Japanese army work with Indy then betray him
Great ideas, Bandit, but one thing I think you could add would be to give Indy an antagonist that would last through multiple films; maybe a Darth Vader-esqe enforcer for the Hydra organization whose just as smart and tough as Indy and is always three steps ahead of him. I think it could a.) give Indy a foe that he can't beat by the end of the film b.) create a potentiallly iconic villain for the franchise, and c.) present Indy with both a physical and mental challenge all in one character
I do NOT want a reboot to the previous series and continuity. For all the faults of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, that film was at least smart enough to move the setting into the 1950's to account for Harrison Ford's age. I don't mind the character getting older. The genre shifted with the time period, which was a good idea.
I like atlantis, fountain of youth, spear of destiny, staff of moses, or maybe they could make something up entirely like the sankara stones or something
Here's an interesting thought. This is similar to what you were saying about the villains. They could do something along the line of "Superman" IV. The villains were war profiteers. (1 American, 1 Frenchman, and 1 Russian) They were villains not by virtue of being from a certain country, but because they were trying to threaten world peace for their own profits. (Or at least keep the threat of war alive.) They could also "Star Trek" VI it. The villains were both in the Federation camp and the Klingon camp. They were working together to keep the war going. Maybe they could have American and Russian war profiteers working together to keep the war going and their profits up. That way, we could say they're not villains by virtue of being from a certain country, but because they are working together to keep war alive. And then, we wouldn't have to worry about offending anyone.
I remember playing an indiana jones game called "Staff of Kings" which involved the staff moses used to depart the red sea as the artifact of the week. I thought that was really cool and maybe the villains could use it to gain total control of the seas and obliterate other nations with tsunamis or something like that.
This is a good ideal. I like the Illuminati or Knights Templar as a villain group. Though if its set in Japan in the 1930's shouldn't the object be something of Japanese Mythology? Perhaps something like Jimmu's bow, the First Emperor of Japan.
I thought your idea for a new Indy movie where he goes to Japan in that time period was a great idea.
Indiana Jones and the MacGuffin Collection
***** Brilliant! I love it!
I think indy should be in the pacific islands and south America and maybe northern Russian tundra or Alaska on a quest for a map or artifact that leads to solving a puzzle for the grand finale ( make the movies a trilogy). i'd like to see more character development in Indiana jones as well as the people or organizations he confronts, have the plot build through the trilogy, have there be an indy girl sidekick (not a damsel in distress or love interest) just a woman who has the same archeology passion as Indiana, either they team up, or she always beats him to the location. (the sidekick woman could be played by Hayley Atwell) that could be some good onscreen chemistry Pratt and Atwell!
I would like if they set out a new movie about Atlantis, i think that has a lot of possibilities, cool video man love your ideas man :)
***** Then Disney/marvel could show Atlantis before the Aquaman movie does hahaha. Warner Brothers would be so angry XD
trust me being PC to try to avoid stereotypes will not help the Indy franchise. In fact it will probably make it bland and watered down.
I hear what you're saying. But I think he made an interesting suggestion. If you make the villains belong to an organization like SPECTRE, that solves the problem. They wouldn't be villains because they're of a certain race or from a certain country. They would be villains because they belong to that organization. It could work and still be interesting. If the villains are predominantly (as he suggested ninjas), Indy could chat with a Japanese government agent. And he could explain that the Japanese government would like to see this organization brought down as much as Indy would. I see your concern here, but the SPECTRE idea could work.
What about the kkk as the bad guys
Originally when I saw this comment I chuckled but if done right this could be awesome.
That'd be awesome!!! Then we could get a black gay Jewish sidekick to punch em in the face.
or Shiya Laboof, that could work too
Bogri Namka
That makes sense....since his character isn't alive yet
RADubs no he wouldn't ever be alive if I am correct this isn't a prequel its a reboot but I might be wrong
This is stupid. A PC Indiana Jones movie is going to be crap.
fatcat3211 I think I agree with you, but just a quick clarification question. What does PC stand for again?
Politically correct. Yeah the new Indiana role is gonna be kind of superhero surreal marvelish cgi garbage with a non-relatable storyline. Unless they make the villains Iranians. Now there is an idea. Bring it to the modern age vs. some imaginative heroic existence.
Huge fan here,
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Thanks for all the content. I like how you invite the audience to share their ideas, it makes us feel like we are part of the creative process. I liked the ideas you presented on this video so much that I decided to build upon them. I agree with one of the other contributors, The knife of Cain might feel out of place in Japan. How about (and I'm taking this idea from another work of fiction) a Katana with extreme destructive power (like a lightsaber X 100) that would grant its wielder super-human strength and the tactical abilities and the knowledge of an ancient warlord. The sword would actually contain the soul of the warlord and possess the body of its wielder. Keep everything else you contributed (sumo, ninjas, a secret society) at the end Indi brings the sword back to a museum or historical society of some sort and we find out that he retrieved it for the real bad guys. A secret society that is accumulating artifacts, knowledge, and resources for their evil plans. They are building a "Noah's Ark" of some sorts. In the next movie, we find out they plan to bring about a doomsday event and their "Ark" is meant to help them rebuild society. Anyway, keep up the great work!
I admit for an artifact I think of the true Spear of Longinus, the spear that pierced Christ's side as he was on the cross. High potential for powers and Hitler was known to look for it when he was in his artifact hunting phase.
As for a story, Atlantis would be sweet.
As for a group, Japan does offer secret societies galore in the period. This was the time when Japan was led by a brutal military controlling a relatively weak Emperor, and they were brutally crushing China.
But for a real secret society to fight, I have to go with Global Cthulhu Cults. Seriously, it's perfect.
Indiana Jones and the Forgotten Army:
Location: China
Artifact: Ghost Summoner (Kinda like your Knife of Kane except it summons the entire Tukota Warrior's Ghosts)
Cult: Uprise
Plot: Indiana Jones' son has recently died along with his wife (which was about half year ago). He is depressed and has just retired from being a professor at the college. He soon finds out clues to how is wife and son had died, and found out that they were on a mission before to find the Tukota Warrior Ghost Summoner. They were killed by ninjas. He travels to China to find the Summoner and to seek revenge. He is followed by his sidekick (Chris Pratt). They spend sometime in a quiet mountain village whilst searching for the Forgotten Army. Later they are attack by Uprise (the cult) and fight ninjas and a sumo wrestler. They escape, (for the fight was a draw) and they are on the run from Uprise. Soon after, they find the temple of the forgotten army. Not knowing that they're being tracked by Uprise.
You finish the story
It's spelled Cain. Do you even worship The Lord Jesus Christ bro?
Well, do I have to?
+Rogue Alien People are going to think back to Mummy 3. Which was pretty cringe worthy
It's not happening. it will be set in the late 60s with Vietnam
I'd love to see the trident of Poseidon, but I believe Pirates of the Caribbean 5 is doing that.
All of these ideas sound perfect and amazing, but like another commenter said, Excalibur would be pretty cool. But I love the ideas you brought to the table as well! Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but neither Christ Pratt nor Indy 5 is confirmed yet, but still just a rumor. I think Chris Pratt would be alright for the rag-tag action hero, but as a professor, I'm not too sure. I'm sure it'd be good, though. Still better than Crystal Skull!
i think the spear of destiny (the spear that pierced Christs side) would be a great artifact
I think they should do a reboot of Indiana Jones, and I think that it's finally time to start making prequels. I also think they should be about a real archaeologist like "Professor Glenn Albert Black". They could say that Black led a double life. Prof. Glenn Black was born August 15th, 1900 so, pretty close to the Indiana Jones character already. He died September 2nd, 1964. He was born in Indianapolis, Indiana. So this could better explain how he got the nickname "Indiana", instead of simply saying he was named after the dog. Perhaps they named the dog after the state which they came from. Perhaps Black's father was a professor who worked for the army intelligence, so he and his family were given cover names, such as "Henry Jones, and Henry Jones Jr." for instance, but I still think they should try to find an actor who, at least, looks a little bit like a young Harrison Ford.
Why use the name of a real archaeologist. Well, it makes it more interesting for adults as well as a younger crowd. It makes people start wondering, hmm, maybe Professor Black really did lead a double life. Out of all the real archaeologists, Prof. Black is the only one who might actually have been given the nickname "Indiana", for real, because of where he's from. It is known that the character of Indy was born in Princeton, New Jersey, but could've moved to Indianapolis, Indiana right after his birth, and that may have been where they lived until he was 7 or 8 years old. I felt that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skul was very childish. It left a Power Rangers kind of bad taste in my mouth.
I think the first prequel could begin on November 11th, 1918. Yes, that's right, the final day of fighting during World War I. The last day that fighting took place and I believe it was the same day that the Armistice was signed. The American government may have become aware that Indy was serving in the Belgian army, so the U.S. army transferred him to the U.S. Army and decided they could use some more men in the U.S. Army Air Service Expeditionary Force(A.E.F.). So he trained how to fly a Breguet 14 B.2 biplane bomber(which explains how he knew how to fly one in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). This may also have been where Indy first met Jock Lindsy. Jock may also have been a pilot with the U.S. Army Air Service Expeditionary Force(A.E.F.). Indy and Jock could've been members of the I Corps Air Service First Army 1st Day Bombardment Group. You could say that Jock flew a Breguet Bomber as well. They both could be wearing bomber jackets(it gives Indy's costume a little more of a legitimate history, instead of just saying that he copied someone), like the one Indy continued to wear, at least until 1957(As we discover in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull).
Jock and Indy could've taken part in the final battle of WWI during the "Meuse-Argonne Offensive". Which took place in and over the Argonne Forest in France, which isn't that far from the town of Verdun. The movie could begin showing us that Paramount Pictures mountain again, only this time it becomes the largest mountain in the distance as you begin to roll the opening credits showing us some of the landscape with appropriate music to accompany the scenery. Then, sounds of a battle can be heard...then, the ground battle can be seen like as if we are flying overhead in a biplane, but perhaps you can't hear our biplane or see our biplane. The camera tilts to the side and veers to the left to avoid machine gun fire for example, like we are seeing the battle from a pilot's point of view(Indy). Suddenly, a squadron or perhaps an entire wing of American biplanes comes into view, buzzing into the frame as we fly over Argonne Forest, coming from underneath us like as if they are pulling ahead of our invisible plane, and now they are ahead of us, but a little bit below us(us meaning the audience).
Among them would be Jock and Indy flying their bombers in formation with the rest of the squadron or wing. The caption at the bottom of the screen would then read "France, 1918", or "North-East France, 1918", whichever way you wanna say it. Since the pilots couldn't talk to each other, there probably won't be much talking during this scene, except for whenever, if ever, Indy talks to himself or yells at the enemy. Like those "Everybody's lost but me." kind of comments, or perhaps you could slip in a Han Solo quote where Indy actually talks to the airplane itself saying "Easy baby, hold together." or "Please baby hold together".
A battle commences. Indy and Jock drop their bombs, and open fire with forward machine guns, perhaps even engaging in dogfights with German biplanes. I don't know exacting details about this battle, but there might be ways of finding some more details. I did find out that there was a WWI United States ace pilot named "Jones". His full name was "Lieutenant Clinton Leonard Jones Jr.". His unit was the 22d Aero Squadron. He had 3 shared victories(shared with Jock perhaps), and he won the Distinguished Service Cross two times. Oh Indy's changed his name before. In "The Young Indians Jones Chronicles" he was going by the name "Henri Defense".
Indy and Jock could also drop bombs and/or grenades by hand as well. After a heck of a climactic battle you could show that the German ground forces were now in full retreat. Then, after showing all of the surviving pilots yelling in joy of their victory, you could show Indy wave at Jock or maybe give him a thumbs up as he turns and flies off into the sunset, as the sun starts to get low in the sky, just like they did at the end of the teaser sequence in "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and you could even play the exact same music that they played when Indy and Jock flew off into the sunset after just narrowly escaping from the Hovitos. Then, you could cut to the next scene, where we have jumped ahead 4 years to 1922. The scene would show the outside of the Sorbonne University of Paris, France. Indy had attended the University of Chicago from 1918 to 1920. During those years he met and became friends with Egyptologist Professor Abner Ravenwood. Indy had first met him in November of 1918, which is when Indy first began attending the University of Chicago. Because Indy started school almost 2 and half months late, it took him a while to get caught up, but when he did, he actually got ahead, going to school in the summer as well.
When Indy chose his electives, one of the classes he chose was Professor Ravenwood's Archaeology 101 class. During his first class with Professor Ravenwood, he began to recognize him. This was the man he saw 6 years ago when he was 12, and living in Utah with his dad. Indy had taken the Cross of Coronado from Abner, and he chased Indy, finally cornering him in his own home. Indy remembered the words he spoke to him "You lost today kid...but that doesn't mean you gotta like it." With that, Abner put his fedora on Indy's head, and he's been wearing one ever since(maybe even the same one). During class, Indy could tell that Abner recognized him as well, but didn't say anything. After class, Indy approached him as Abner smiled at him. I don't know how the conversation went, but I think we should probably leave that to the scriptwriter. Not long after that they became good friends, and remained good friends for the next 8 years. Abner introduces Indy to his daughter Marion, who is only 10 years old at the time.
Abner and Indy spent the summers going on expeditions and digs, sometimes helping and assisting other archaeologist and egyptologists with their excavations. One of the artifacts that Abner was searching for was the head piece to "The Staff of Ra". Abner also had a fascination with wanting to go in search of the mythical city of Shangri-La, supposedly located in a valley enclosed in the Kunlun Mountains of Tibet. Abner would always bring his daughter Marion along with them on these digs and expeditions. Indy learned a lot from Abner during these two years. Abner always thought it was ridiculous how Indy would insist upon bringing his bullwhip with him, wherever they went. He may have joked about it, possibly calling Indy "Zorro", or "Cowboy Jones". Indy managed to graduate from the University of Chicago in just two short years, possibly with the help of Abner, but in all of the movies, they show that Indy is very intelligent, so there's not much doubt that he was literally at the top of his class, and then some.
Becoming much like a father to him, Abner gives Indy the recommendation to start working on his Ph.D. at the Sorbonne University in Paris, France. Which is not all that far away from Verdun, where he fought in the final battle of WWI. So Indy takes his recommendation, and travels to Paris, France in August of 1920 after spending the summer working with Abner on another expedition. Now, getting back to the movie. The teaser sequence ended as Indy was flying off into the sunset in France in 1918, now in the next scene, we cut to the front exterior of the University of Paris(also known as the Sorbonne University), just like they cut to the front exterior of Marshal College in Connecticut in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Only this time, Indy is still a student who was now into his 3rd year of a Ph.D. program that focused on ancient written languages, and was taking his 2nd course in classical Greek archaeology. So this would mean that Indy is now 23 years old, and the year is 1922.
So a caption down at the bottom of the screen could read "Paris, 1922"(just to let the audience know that we've now jumped ahead 4 years). You could say that Professor Ravenwood is either an acquaintance or a friend of Howard Carter, and that he has sent him a cable asking him to come to Luxor, Egypt to assist him with his search for The Tomb of Tut 'Ankh Amun. Abner would've sent Carter a cable informing him that he'll be there and might also bring an archaeology student of his as well. Abner would then send Indy a cable to let him know of the situation and how close Howard Carter believes he is to finding the tomb of King Tut, telling him to meet him at a specific location in Luxor, Egypt at a certain time, on a certain date.
The cable could have caught the attention of the U.S. military intelligence. They may have approached Indy, and offered him a job working for them on a permanent basis. This would certainly explain how Indy gets caught up in all of these adventures, and why everyone is always trying to kill him all the time, but doesn't seem to happen to any other archaeologist. This could also be taking place sometime in October because I'm not really that sure about the travel times of the 1920s. I know that Abner would probably have to take a train, then board a ship that would take him across the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea, and then to Egypt. Indy would've had to take a train, and then a ship in order to cross the Mediterranean Sea.
This is where they could do that thing where they show kind of like a map with that red line that shows us where Indy is going on the map as the red line begins to extend to his destination as they show back ground images that take place during his trip as they play the Indiana Jones theme. So we would have to say that this is taking place on a date in October that would give them both plenty of time to arrive by November 4th, which was the date in which Howard Carter discovered the very first steps that led down to the entrance of King Tut's tomb. However, it would not be confirmed that it was indeed King Tut's tomb until November 25th when Howard Carter had cleared all the sand away from the stairs and the entrance and discovered several seals on the bottom of the door with Tutankhamun's name on them. Perhaps Carter hires Sallah, and his diggers, and this is where Indy meets Sallah for the first time. Obviously, the scriptwriter should decide on what date Indy and Abner were present, lending whatever assistance they could give Carter.
The scriptwriter could also build suspense and intrigue around this story, possibly involving the mafia, by saying that they are interested, or perhaps a private collector who's got connections up the wazue(like Walter Donovan from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). Another thing they could throw at them could be a German archaeological competitor like Rene Belloq was to Indy in Raiders of the Lost Ark, or perhaps like Elsa Schneider from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Another possibility could be a radical religious group that is perhaps frightened by information these archaeologists might find in the tomb of King Tut, similar to the religious group that kept trying to stop Indy from finding the Holy Grail in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. So there could be fight scenes, chase scenes, love scenes. Abner would most certainly bring his daughter "Marion" with him, so she would be along for the ride.
However, bare in mind though that Indy is 23 by this point, which would mean that Marion is only 14 years old(because she is presumably 9 years younger than Indy). I know times were different back then but, let's be careful about making Indy look TOO bad here. I don't think Indy and Marion began a romantic relationship this early on. I believe that started happening when Marion was 17 or 18(although, Marion DID punch him pretty hard in Raiders of the Lost Ark). However, I do believe that Indy and Marion were good friends by this point, and trusted each other like family. I don't know what you might want to call this movie. Perhaps you could call it "Indiana Jones and the Tomb of the Pharaoh's Curse" or something like that. Coming up with names and titles for things has never really been my strong suit, so you might want to work with the title for the next 2 or 3 years.
If they decided to make this into a trilogy, then I think the 2nd film should definitely be taking place in China, because we need to introduce the character of Wu Han as quickly as possible, because remember what he said in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom "I followed you on many adventures...". So every Indy film from here on out, Indy should have Wu Han in tow, in order to make his statement accurate. Perhaps the teaser sequence for this one, could be that bad business in the jungles of Honduras that Chattar Lal mentions in passing during the dinner scene at Pankot Palace in the Temple of Doom, where he says that Indy was accused of being a grave robber, rather than an archaeologist. However, that story takes place on March 21st, 1933 and is in the Indiana Jones and the Philosopher's Stone novel. If they wanted to, they could have Indy's competitor "Forrestal" be in this one.
They could show us what Indy meant in Raiders of the Lost Ark when he said to Satipo "He was good.........................................he was very, very good". Forrestal might have even been the one who started spreading the rumor that Indy was a grave robber, rather an archaeologist. Then, the teaser sequence for the 3rd film, could be about the other bad business that Chattar Lal mentions that took place in Madagascar, in which the Sovereign of Madagascar screamed at Indy, as he made his escape, that he would cut his balls off if he ever returned to his land, however, as the story got out, some changed the story to the Sovereign threatening to cut his "head" off, if he ever returned to his land, not his balls lol. Perhaps this could be the teaser sequence for the 2nd film, I don't know. Keep in mind though that Indy does not see anything that might make him superstitious, or believe in magic until the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1936, hence his statement in Raiders "I don't believe in magic, a lot of superstitious hocus pocus". So, even though they mucked that statement up in Temple of Doom, let's try to make that statement mostly accurate. Perhaps Temple of Doom was just an isolated incident kind of thing before Raiders. What do you think?
This is one of your finest videos, these "How to do it" always impress me.
I'd like to see either the Fountain of Youth or Atlantis. Either way they could delve into some interesting cultural, mythical stuff; the period conflict between the American natives and the U.S army, then into old Ponce De Leon pirate ship stuff...or, explore the ancient Greek gods going in with Atlantis. They already did two movies based around Judeo Christian mythology, so forget Noah. But I love the Japan idea! One of my favorite parts of Temple was the beginning sequence in old Shanghai, which is very much the way you describe Japan at that time. Personally, I don't care if the new movie offends me as long as it doesn't suck like Crystal Skull. Please! Make fun of my mom but don't suck like Crystal Skull!
Robert Drangus What was wrong with Crystal Skull?
The Blue Baron Everything.
Alright, but could you be more specific; give me an example or two?
Ohhh, I love the idea of the Knife of Cain. Trying to think of another artifact with relevance to the Bible...
If I had to choose between the three... story elements... I guess... that you offered up, it would have to Noah's Ark. The Lost City of Atlantis would result in an underwater setting, and that's not very Indiana Jones to me. The Fountain of Youth has already been done, so cross that off. The search for Noah's Ark would be a bit similar to the Last Crusade, but I'll go with it.
Maybe the Fountain of Youth would be used to explain how Indi is a new actor.
That Stick of Caine was EXCELLENT, reminds me a lot to Death Note.
Could you work for Hollywood, please?
THAT TERMINATOR CLIP WITH THE HARRISON FORD HEADS OH MY LORD BANDIT XD I'm crying
This sounds awesome. I would so watch your idea as a movie.
I think some variant of the philosopher's stone (eternal life, turning base metals/just about anything into gold, whathaveyou) would be interesting to see. I would want that one set in Europe, though.
For Japan, if you want to stick to the mythological route, it could be something like the Mirror of Amaterasu (look up the legend, it's interesting).
I think the fountain of youth is right up Indies alley. He could just go island hopping across the Carribean with a Latino woman and escaping the Hydra organization who seem to be all over the place to find him. The islands would make for some really great traveling scenes with the red line on the map.
Maybe the Spear of Destiny and have it be set before temple of doom, or have it be in WW2 which I don't really like the sound of. I also like to think that Indy exits in the MCU because of Red Skulls line "And the Fuhrer digs for trinkets in the desert" a reference to Raiders. Since Marvel publishes Star Wars comics for Disney, they should have and Indiana Jones vs Hydra and the Red Skull out of universe story.
Ummmmm.
No.
Great video, bandit!
Here's a question about the characters to be included in the sure to be many, many new INDIANA JONES films:
Do you think they should also include some of Indy's friends like Marcus Brody, Sallah, Short Round, Willie, and Marion?
How about his enemies like Rene Belloq?
Or should they avoid them altogether?
I was thinking the exact same thing for the villains. He could fight a secret organization of some sort.
0:28 WTF i was not expecting that! I almost chocked to death on my cereal lol!
I personally think that the Knife should be sentient, and whoever holds it in possession for awhile turns crazy and transform into a psychological mess with the only thought going in it's head is suicide, as if the knife was persuading the owner to kill him/her self. By doing so it's open for interpretation if it's the real Kane from christian mythology continuing a murder spree with this artifact, or if it's something different entirely. This could also be used as a tool to assassinate someone whilst keeping your hands clean, since it would appear as if it was the target simply committed suicide.
It could be done as if an organisation had a plan which a member of the organisation acted as a higher upper in the political world, he would attend party's or weddings of other political leaders all over the world and when he had established himself, the organisation would start presenting the knife as a gift of allegiance or something to the supposed targets, killing them one by one. This member I mentioned could also work as a plot device that was like a clue for Indie and Co. Also, the deaths of these people wouldn't be suspicious either since the politic elites are known of having major stress issues and the death investigation would pretty much end there.
Tell me what you guys think, if you managed to read through it all.
Why are you wanting a to make sure we don't offend anyone? That is really what is wrong with this country. It doesn't matter what you do, you will offend someone. I understand not wanting to offend people, but this walking on glass egg shells is getting tiring. People really need to take life with a grain of salt and stop getting their panties in a bunch over the simplest things.
Penfookio Gaming Well.....Im not sure if yr American or not. If u are American, this will be new to u, but if yr not, cast yr mind back to the 80s and early 90s.
Cos back in the 90s, only the "domestic" box office mattered. So only selling tickets in the US mattered, and the result was a tonne of gun ho US propaganda movies, which Im sure were perfectly fine in the US, but overseas it was the most painful, groan worthy crap to sit thru. It was terrible!
And that's all fine, nothing wrong with the pro-america theme, back in the 80s and early 90s, cos that's all that mattered. But the harsh reality today is, its totally the other way around. If a movie doesn't do well overseas, u might as well forget it.
That's why transformers4 spent so much time in china, and why Terminator Genisys seems to have been green lit for a sequel, even though it wasn't well received in America, cos it did well overseas.
So in answer to your original question. Offending people matters today, because international audiences matter today. So u cant serotype Asians, and arabs, and latinos as bad guys, and still expect to make a profit, since those and other groups make up half of yr audience.
BanditIncorporated True, you can't stereotype an entire culture. However, the Soviets were not a culture, they were a political group (like the Nazis) which like the Nazis, were evil. Also, while it would be untruthful to stereotype Chinese in general as villains, I think Chinese gangsters, like gangsters in any other country, are villains. Plus, Communist China (which is sadly still what China is today) is evil. So, you could easily and rightfully cast them as villains, as well as any other Communist regime anywhere in the world. You could also have the Young Turks of Turkey, or any other radical revolutionaries.
The bottom line is, you can't just avoid portraying groups as villains because you're worried about offending people. No matter what you do, someone will be offended. Do you think the Neo-Nazis would appreciate their idols being portrayed as villains? No! But does it matter? Also no! Simply put, they WERE villains, just like any of these other groups, and anyone who cannot realize that does not deserve to be taken into consideration when we're worried about not offending people.
On an unrelated note, what would the Knife of Cain be doing in the Empire of Japan?
BanditIncorporated Just wanted to correct one statement, Terminator Genisys was actually greenlit for a sequal BEFORE the movie actually came out in theaters (domestic and overseas) b/c James Cameron is set to receive the rights to the franchise back in 2019 and Paramount wanted to get as much out of it as they could. Thus they greenlit a sequel w/out knowledge of how the first was going to be received by the general public. In regards to Hollywood needing to be politically correct or over-sensitive to other cultures and ethnicities, I agree that they should make sure that they are not just making $h!t up when it comes to how a culture is (the Temple of Doom Indian culture for example), but not being able to use other countries as the bad guy to me is being TOO sensitive. For one thing, just because a bad guy is from a certain culture/country, doesn't mean that the entire country/culture is evil. The easy fix would be to make sure that there is another character of same culture/country that is able to aid Indy to overcome the corrupt bad guy.
+Penfookio Gaming political correctness is why, and its what ruins games and movies
This movie sounds AMAZING!
The Russian ComicBook Geek Bro, speaking as a person of Russian decent. Did the Crystal Skull having the soviets as the villain annoy u? Or other Russian people?
BanditIncorporated Thankfully I never actually saw Crystal Skull
the garden of eden
How about the Holy Lance, or maybe even the Crown of Thorns that Jesus wore. Another idea could be the Staff of Moses. Since this is based on religious items, the Nazi Wehrmacht would be returning for this film. And maybe have some third party cult come in to play. Also, if they really wanted to, they could make a film where the Ark gets stolen from the warehouse and they have to get it back. They could bring everyone back for this film. Including Mac. The possibilities are endless.
I think maybe spear of destiny could be a good idea and have it be a device that who ever wields it makes the user smite anyone in the world but in the end it corrupts and ha mind of it own and eventually killing the wielder and the men who follow him and when the users dead all thats left is 33 silver peices and if they want to use the nazis again its been said that hitler might've had it maybe its the journey of the nazis collecting the spear
Everyone knows all one on one battles must take place on an American football field!
My idea: make a new franchise with Indy's grandson taking up the mantle of Indiana Jones, and Harrison Ford can cameo.
China's cannibalistic slog into totalitarianism was called the Cultural Revolution. Japan's turn from from an agrarian aristocracy to democratic capitalism was called the Meiji Restoration but it began in the late 1800s and by the time we get to the era of the Indiana Jones stories, it had pretty much been completed. Ninja were not really a thing anymore but there were two exciting new homegrown martial arts, Judo and Aikido, that enraptured tens of thousands of new students. Sumo are in way better condition than their shape suggests but they don't know how to punch people. They don't study that. Sumo is a type of wrestling. It'd be more interesting to have Indy put his boxing up against a brawny judo player somewhere near the middle of the film and finally a deceptively slight but spry, slightly older (maybe even female) Aikido practitioner at the end. Aside from that,I like your death worldwide conspiracy/hydra-type group and the idea that the series needs to remind people that Indy is a man with an intelligence about the world and so too should be this movie. They shouldn't be afraid to have bad guys of any color but they need to make sure they don't do something that inadvertently offends an entire race or nation of people. If they are ever at a loss for what certain minorities may think of a particular piece of dialogue or a plot piont, they can always find one of us and ask. Some of us actually work as professors, researchers, translators and writers. We might even be capable at more than one of those things simultaneously. Find a Japanese-American credentialed in Japanese history in some way and run some ideas past him or her and credit her as a story consultant. I guarantee you their one time fee won't break your budget and you'll be glad you bought some street cred with the group you're portraying, be they Japanese, Indonesians or South Africans...wait, there's a great villain. Apartheidist white South Africans. I certainly don't feel sorry for them. Punch away, Indy! Punch away!
also it would be awesome if we had a harrison ford cameo, like after the credits we see chris pratt walk into an office and he says "I brought you this old man." and then harrison ford says "You really think you are the first one to do this Jr."
Indiana Jones 5
Time: 1962
Main Location: Japan
Villains: An Artifact Organization
Artifact: Knife of Cain
Indiana Jones: Harrison Ford
Mutt: Chris Pratt
Chris Pratt is NOT playing Indiana jones Harrison ford is coming back to play him! Yay
+Jake Rzonca What do you mean "Yay", by the time the fifth Indi film comes out Harrison Ford will be 76! He was already too old to play him in the last one which came out in 2008. That's one of the reasons that made me dislike it, Indi felt like a passenger, and like we're constantly reminded that he's old. Imagine what it'll be like in the new one. I agree with Bandit, he should be recast in a "James Bond-type" way. As for who should play him I don't know. I was thinking Chris Pratt when he said it but now I'm not so sure. Any ideas?
nope , Disney stated last week that chris pratt wont even be in the movie . not sure where those rumors started .
harrison ford is coming back as Indiana jones in 2019 with Spielberg directing .
Indiana jones will age just like everyone else in life .
the movie will be set 11 years after crystal. it will be set in 1968 during the Vietnam War . one of the rumored plots has to do with ancient Cambodian temples and the murderous khmer Rouge dynasty of the early 1970s.
there won't be any more Nazi , that was 38 years before in indy jones movies .
the new villains will be the vietcong and the khmer Rouge.
according to Disney , harrison ford will be the only Indiana jones ever . with Vietnam it puts indy into southeast Asia ,which is somewhere new for him.
I'm fully aware of what Disney is doing. Or what Disney is rumored to be doing or whatever. But i hate that idea. I hate that Indi will eventually become this old man, way past his prime. I usually hate reboots but it either should be rebooted or just left alone. I don't think Harrison Ford coming back is anything to be excited about because Indi should be a man in the prime of his life (I so think anyway).
Disney said it won't be a reboot ,it will be indiana jones in the 1960s . As for leaving it alone , crystal still made 1.1 billion dollars. Disney isn't about to leave money on the table .
It's already in filming. Harrison Ford is in production playing Indiana jones . Disney said the role won't become james bond . Spielberg is directing alone and harrison will remain as Indiana jones . Disney said no one else will ever play him . It's already in production. Disney also said chris pratt nor shia lebaoef will ever be in a bond movie .
"...modern army being trained..."
shows a picture of soldiers with a train *brilliant*
You sold me so hard on your movie idea. I want to see it.
I agreed with the no-Nazi point. The villians could be a group of evil tomb raiders, with plans of being a secret super power influencing the world by using the powers of the artefacts they dig up. But they are self aware enough so they use proxies to avoid any curses/traps etc.
Indy has to get Bandit's Sunglasses before the bad guys do and use them to see the future of gaming so they can profit off of the games before the actual devs make them. But when the evil boss puts on the glasses he sees poptart cat and his mind is blown.
so they could have the opening take place in the Himalayas, so that the iconic paramount fade out into Mount Everest.
That would be cool, but wouldn't it be the disney logo?
No point in doing the fountain of youth, that would just be the Holy Grail all over again
It only took this guy thirty seconds to convince me to like this video
Yes I love how you used Mr. Plinkett as a source 😂
The first reboot has to have Nazis just to set the tone
I don't want CGI in a new one - the realistic stunts made Indy. They need to get back to that!
Here's how I'd do it. Harrison Ford Indy passes on the hat and the rest of the outfit to his grandson (Mutt's son) (played by a new actor), who takes on his grandpa's nickname Indiana. The bad guys are either a made-up country, or an organization similar to Hydra, maybe with James Bond -esque villains. Personally, I would love to see more supernatural stuff, but I'm not sure if everyone else would.
No, I think an Indiana Jones movie has to be set in the past somehow. If you want to do a sequel and not a prequel, you could do Mutt
Ali Momeni Come to think of it, it would feel rather strange to have an Indiana Jones movie that takes place today.
+Ali Momeni I think it's going to be set during Vietnam war in 1968
A japanese theme for the fifth movie of indy sounds awesome please make that happen!
Staff of Kings
Lost city of Atlantis
Fountain of youth
City of gods
You ALWAYS have such great ideas! The Hollywood people need to subscribe to you lol
It's been officially announced! Stephen Spielberg directing, Harrison Ford back again as Indy, with a release date of Summer 2019! Oh heck yes!
Lucas shoulda done an epic story arc and ended the whole shebang back where it all began : South America.
"Indiana Jones and the Cities of Gold"
Here's the opening crawl :
The year was 1560. The Spanish have been at war with the Incas for nearly forty years and forcing an Inca retreat into Villacomba Valley (Valley of the Snakes), where they held off the invaders until 1572. When the Spanish finally conquered the Incas they found the valley largely deserted. It appeared as if the Incas had fled to a new location in the rainforests of what is now southern Brazil taking their vast treasures of gold with them. Treasures hidden in the lost cities of gold. Cities that were never found...until now
I can imagine Sean Connery narrating that.
Obscure Entertainment yeah dude, picture it
" Indiana Jones and the Lost Cities of Gold"
we bring back that same old Nazi treasure hunter from Raiders.
I am sorry Bandit, but you sound like a hypocrite when you say that its fine Indie is punching nazis, but its apparently offensive to portray soviets or chinese as bad guys.
Implying that germans offcourse would never get offended, not even by an anti-german movie like "Inglorious bastards", but people in the rest of the world would easily get offended. Despite all your anthropological sensitivity, you clearly have a blind spot when it comes to germans.
Drinko76 I agree, especially since I'm partially German.
+The Blue Baron Or maybe he's someone who considers the two different? You don't have to be German to be a Nazi. Nazi's are more a political ideology like communism is and not a nationality. I mean hey Hitler was Austrian anyway
+SynX SevenfoldX you've got a point there, another example is Josef Stalin he was one of the worst people in history his actions led to the deaths of millions even more than Hitler and he wasn't Russian he was Georgian.
*Indy
It's like an American getting offended over Walter Donovan... As an American, I wanted the fucker dead, and was glad when he died!
And what age will the new Indy be? Will it fit in after Crystal Skull? Or before?
You come up with the BEST stories! Indiana Jones is in transitioning Japan with a Geisha love interest would be AMAZING! The sets, costuming, diversity in actors (taking a British guy and slap some bronzer on him wouldn't cut it for Japan), AH! Just so cool! and Ninjas!
perfect villain: he could pursue ex-Nazis on the run while also looking for their lost gold. (people similar to in the Odessa file). We could even get Christoph Waltz to play one of the former Nazis. they could go from Switzerland to Argentina and everywhere in between. The ex-nazis could be pursuing the gold to buy back their former government, and Indy must stop them before they find it. He could be fighting a new villain while also punching Nazis. Also at the end, how all the artifacts kill the villains, you could have the gold weigh down a boat or plane and all the Nazis drown or something like that.
I actually want to try and write this story out you made up, heck I'll credit you too. I wish I really had an imagination to come up with a good story like the one you made up on the spot. It's super cool!
Why would a middle eastern artifact be in Japan?
+UnknownFork So that the likes of you wouldn't even bother looking for it there.
11:52 I'd like him to fight the sumo Hitman:Absolution style
that game is shit
Obi Wan James Okay. That's just your opinion. But I'd still like to see a fight like that
***** play hitman blood money and then you will agree with me, if you already have played it then i think your crazy :p
I haven't, but do you know what fight I'm talking about
***** i have played the game but i dont remember any sumo fight
I think It needs to take place between 1968-1979. As long as it can have a time skip because I would like to see Indy in the 60s and 70s. If Chris Pratt were to play Indiana Jones, it should take place between The Last Crusade and Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull. It can be a movie similar to The Godfather part 2 where it shows a young Vito while also showing Michael Corleone as Godfather. Short Round, Willie, and Sallah needs to make a return. Have Indy feel like he is old but is still enjoying what he does despite modern setbacks. Have a bit of connections with the Young Indiana Jones Episodes with Indy 5.
Out of the 3 artefacts you suggested, I'm definitely leaning towards Atlantis, as the underwater setting will definitely bring something new to the film series. However, if we are taking inspiration from the Indy video games, I'd like to see some kind of adaptation of Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb. It basically has Indy travelling across Prague, Istanbul, Hong Kong and Shanghai, in pursuit of a fictitious artefact called "the Heart of the Dragon." If streamlined a bit, it might make good live action movie, although I'm guessing other fans of the Indy games would rather see Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis on the big screen.
Brilliant Idea Bandit
Great ideas! I'd like to see a movie using ideas like yours!
Just one thing for a good Indiana Jones 5. One thing.
Fate of Atlantis.
They dont need a new wacky script, they dont need Shia LaBeouf, just say that Kingdom of the crytal skull is non.canon and make a Fate of Atlantis movie. That makes everyone happy. It makes the hardcor fans happy, it makes the gamers happy that played FoA and it makes the production company happy, because it makes them even richer.
***** What was wrong with Crystal Skull?
The Blue Baron
Gophers, Fridge, Aliens. Nuff said.
***** Technically, they were Interdimensional beings, but I can definitely see where you're coming from on that one. However, although surviving a nuclear explosion in a lead lined refrigerator is on the fringe of believability at best, don't you think it's still far more believable than say, surviving a fifty foot fall out of an airplane in a rubber life raft and then riding said dingy on a fast, steep run down a treacherous icy mountain, across sharp jagged rocks and over quickly flowing rapids, and surviving the run without the dingy or it's passengers being suffering any [physical] harm? As for the gophers, you'll have to be more specific with what was wrong with them. Were they too cute for an Indiana Jones movie?
The Blue Baron
The raft thing that was unrealistic as the nuclear fridge, but in my opinion, with the nuclear fridge they take it too far.
And the groundhogs, well i hate those things, dont like them and dont like how they were animated, its kinda uncanny vally isnt it.
"Indy can't fight someone who doesn't look like him!"
can I just say that, the Panckot palace banquet actually looked appetising, compared to what the starving village served up to Willy Scott. "eat it". you would of thought that Indy would of brought back with him, a few loaf of breads, when he returned to the village with its sacred stone and 300 staving children.
There was no need if you notice when we first see the village it was bare but we see it at the end it's all lush and green
+jason kreider it's a miracle.
Maybe have the enemy be a bunch of insane cultists? Have it be pretty much be The Call of Cthulhu... but all Indiana Jones and stuff.
I don't agree that the movie needs to cater to people who are racially sensitive. Nazis are all german and white but that doesn't mean it says anything about german, white people.
But that being said I wouldn't mind a Hydra-like organisation.
And GREAT idea about having it take place in Japan.
I agree. I mean there's no denying that both China and Russia have had monstrous regimes. When it comes to tyrants Mao and Stalin are at least as bad as Hitler, especially in terms of sheer death count. Casting people working for these regimes as bad guys really isn't much of a stretch and not comparable to what they did in temple of doom.
I don`t care what race a villain is as long as a whole country isn`t stereotyped .We don`t want the Brazil vs The Simpson or India vs George Lucas thing to happen again.
Awesome stuff - great ideas! Thanks mate
Why not lump Atlantis, the fountain of youth and Noah's ark together. Like in the beginning of the movie old (Harrison Ford) Indy finds himself in Spain where he found Noah's ark but then there's a clue to atlantis inside it, but when on the way to find atlantis there is some kind of group that seem to be following them and eventually indy gets captured. After traveling some more times to a few coincidental landmark locations indy and whoever he's with, ends up (before Indy could find the location of Atlantis) eventually in atlantis, where the group of kidnappers knew of the location for a long long time now and all they needed was to fulfill the prophecy to restart the fountain of youth that Indy's gang is surprised to know had anything to do with atlantis, but then the villains continue by talking about the prophecy of a well weathered traveler who would one day come. They then say that there plan is to drain the rest of indy's youth. But stay with me, indy fails and dies it also seems that the kidnappers have won but after the villains get there youth they soon realize they are rapidly age backwards into nothingness but it seemed Indy had just died and his group still tied it seems that something was happening in the empty space where the men were and it appeared they all started aging again but back-forward and the potential of the youth and life of the men filled the fountain and started to drown indy's body but like a sponge the liquid from the fountain was absorbed by indy's lifeless husk and after a mist that was made after hitting Indy's body a younger (Chris Prat) Indian Jones finishes the story like all Indiana Jones movie ends.
