I like Chris Pratt. Granted I'd prefer they don't make more films, but if they are going to, then I think Pratt would do the part justice. It's hard for a lot of us Indy fans to grasp the fact that Ford is in his 70's... Although I don't really want new films, I'll be happy to watch them. Disney may be doing it for the money, but I doubt the people actually making the film will want to make a bad product.

I think it's merely a matter of time. I don't believe for a moment that Disney would allow what I'm sure is now considered the Indy "franchise" to languish for long. From a fan point of view, Indy is a character with loads of both years AND mileage left, and from a corporate point of view, there's money to be made. So, irrespective of which school of fandom I or anyone else lean towards, ( either the "Harrison Ford IS Indy, and I won't accept anyone else in the role" brigade, or the " I love the character and all things Indy, and I would cautiously welcome another actor in the role" gang,) sooner or later I think we'll get to see a brand spanking new Indy adventure on the big screen.

Follow up rumor: www.joblo.com/movie-news/rumor-spielberg-may-be-interested-in-directing-chris-pratt-in-indiana-jones-215Rumor: Spielberg may be interested in directing Chris Pratt in Indiana JonesLast month it was reported that Disney was eyeing Chris Pratt to take over the whip and satchel as Indiana Jones. It's always never a positive response when a beloved franchise is gearing up for reboot, but I think it's safe to say the majority of our readers were hip to the news. Rumors are spreading tonight that, assuming he’s satisfied with the script, Steven Spielberg would want to direct the new film. This is great news (if and when it's official, obviously) considering he directed Harrison Ford in all the previous installments. The film is still in the very early stages of course, and so rumors like this should not be taken seriously at this point (put the phone down). It’s too early to say what will happen as there isn’t even a script yet but it’s a pretty awesome prospect though don’t you think? Deadline reported the news, which makes for one heck of a headline before the weekend. It at least makes people consider ideas for who might take up the director’s chair for such an important film. Pratt is the hottest actor working right now and was even Spielberg’s choice to be the star of JURASSIC WORLD. Let’s hope they go the way of The Force Awakens for Indy’s next movie and don’t rely so much on CG effects like last time. Is it time for someone new blood to have a chance at an Indiana Jones adventure or would you like to see Steven Spielberg right some of the wrongs from INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL? |

The rumor mill now has a response from Chris on the matter: www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/412903-chris-pratt-not-overwhelmed-by-the-thought-of-playing-indiana-jonesOne of the biggest rumors floating around the past few weeks has been that Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World star Chris Pratt is being sought to pick up the whip and play Indiana Jones in a reboot of the classic franchise. Speaking with MTV on The Oscars red carpet, Pratt was asked if there was anything had come of the talks and if taking on the series is an overwhelming prospect. “It’s all nothing until it’s something and so far it’s not something….I don’t think it’s overwhelming to contemplate….It’d be cool. No one’s called me. (There’s) A lot of talk about it. The pressure would come just because it’s such a great franchise you wouldn’t want to get it wrong, so for me it would have to be perfect to do it. We’ll see, like I said it’s nothing until it’s something.” A report popped up last week saying franchise co-creator Steven Spielberg hoped to direct Pratt in a reboot of the franchise, though it’s still early days for the project. Following the sale of Lucasfilm to Walt Disney Pictures and Lucas’ own subsequent retirement, however, hints regarding plans for the future of the franchise have been few and far between. Ford, however, has suggested that he’s quite eager to reprise the role himself, despite turning 73 this year. The “Indiana Jones” franchise has brought in nearly $2 billion at the global box office, and has spawned countless novels, toys, games, theme park attractions, and the prequel TV series ” The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnTTpxGmX98 |
