jones has a space princess/hot stripper daughter? by newc0253	Jul 10th, 2006 04:06:13 AM
cool
Not news. by kortan_askew	Jul 10th, 2006 04:23:25 AM
It's well established in Indiana Jones lore that he has a daughter. Theres an appearance by his grandson "Spike" in an episode of the Young Indiana Jone Chronicles. However it's the same episode that aired in The U.S. here as part of the Mystery of the Blues movie with a harrison Ford wraparound instead so we didn't get to see it.
Portman seems like a good choice... by Bazka Berzerker	Jul 10th, 2006 04:29:07 AM
I don't know why, but somehow this choice "clicked" with me. I could easily see Portman as Indy's daughter. For some reason I also think that she would have good chemistry with Ford. I would have gone with an unknown, but if they want to cast a star, Portman seems like a really good choice.
Jesus by ObiWanBrodie	Jul 10th, 2006 04:29:21 AM
I just want them to just pull the fucking trigger already and do this movie. They keep waiting and everyone they need to do it (Ford, Connery, Lucas, Speilberg, etc)will be dead. But i bet if Lucas is still around, he will try for the CGI Ford, Connery...
Karen Allen by Trancer	Jul 10th, 2006 04:29:45 AM
was by far the hottest Indy babe. I hope she has a major role in the movie.
How about.... by Bobo_Vision	Jul 10th, 2006 04:30:43 AM
...Steve Martin as Indy's younger, sillier, and perhaps retarded brother? Oh, and I don't really like Natalie Portman. I don't think she can act. See Garden State and the Star Wars prequels for reference.
Portman? Ok, I'm officially out. by Shermdawg	Jul 10th, 2006 04:34:30 AM
Not unless Shorty comes back, that is.
Why not push it further... by nijoty	Jul 10th, 2006 04:38:15 AM
And you see Portman has this Dog and he can talk to her and only she can understand him and they could all go on adventures together with her dad and her Mum and his Dad and...... Why not stick to what works best?
And how about... by Bobo_Vision	Jul 10th, 2006 04:49:52 AM
...a scene where Indy says to Natalie Portman, "Since we haven't seen each other for so long, would it really be incest if we fucked?", and Natalie Portman responds by slipping off her clothes, sitting on his lap, Indy slips it in, and she begins bobbing up and down saying "Ungh...ungh...ungh..." This continues for five minutes until Indy pauses, looks straight into the camera and says, "Hey folks, don't worry. Its not really incest...we're just actors." And then they continue. Then, Sean Connery peaks his head around the corner and says, "Junior, thats a fine piece you got there on your lap. Mind if a break off a little sumthin sumthin for myself" and Indy says "For shizzle Big Daddy drizzle", and then Henry gets his swerve on.

Indiana Jones and the Girl from Leon All Growed Up by newc0253	Jul 10th, 2006 05:40:13 AM
okay, maybe that wouldn't work as a title, but something along those lines.
Saw this on tv... by GuyLombardo	Jul 10th, 2006 06:03:11 AM
.. the same show quotes two titles: Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis and Indiana Jones and the ravages of Time... Both suck. They also said Capshaw and Marion might be in the next one along with Jet Li playing Short Round. No joke How fucking stupid. This movie will suck as hard as everything else done by Lucas and Speilberg
Awesome by Stollentroll	Jul 10th, 2006 06:19:50 AM
I can't help but looking forward to this one. "Munich" obviously proved that Mr. Spielberg is still capable of something, right? To Bobo_Vision: what's wrong with Portman's acting in Garden State? I don't think a lot of people would agree with you on that...
Lets put that to the test by Bobo_Vision	Jul 10th, 2006 06:24:53 AM
Everyone who thinks Natalie Portman's acting in Garden state was good....say so below...and those who thinked her acting sucked in Garden State...say so below.
Please George... by Azlam Orlandu	Jul 10th, 2006 06:28:46 AM
...I supported you all through the Star Wars Prequels and in spite of the fact that I put up with all the criticisms I still love those films. But the fact of the matter is that Star Wars has so much to it that there's a lot of room for you to play around in, Indiana Jones is not the same. If you don't intend on making the fucking god damn best Jones film so far then please reconsider and don't make this film. At the same time if the time spent writing this movie is anywhere indicative of the film that you're intending on making then please knock my dick off. Just saying, -Az

one of those old nasty rumors by drjones	Jul 10th, 2006 07:45:49 AM
every minute in my life i'm expecting and anticipating indyIV rumors, but this is just ridiculous. it would've been cool, though, to have a an even longer and more complex coverage of the NY q&a. still cool, to read this little report. as a matter of fact this rumor of natalie portman is just as old as the rumor about kevin costner as indy's brother.
I saw that show too by I Dunno	Jul 10th, 2006 07:47:59 AM
It also said that eithr Jet Li or Jackie Chan will be Short Round and that there will be no CGI. I call bullshit.
Why does everyone think Marion & Indy's baby? by TKO	Jul 10th, 2006 07:50:28 AM
Didn't Jones Sr and Jones Jr share a German chick in Last Crusade? Ooh, what if it's HER daughter...and what it it turns out to be Jones Sr's daughter? Ooooh, this is Jerry Springer material!

Raiders, then nothing. by CreasyBear	Jul 10th, 2006 08:05:39 AM
Raiders belongs in the pantheon of Great Movies, but the series died with Temple of Doom. Lil' ninja sidekick? Stereotypical blonde screamer as love interest? Then Indy's DAD? This series didn't need a 2 or 3, much less a 4.
right now some place someone is writing by drjones	Jul 10th, 2006 08:11:36 AM
that goddamn script... as far as marion is concerned she(and karen allen) is also my favorite, which is not hard as she's the only woman in the series that really has somewhat of a personal relationship based connection with indy. contrary to that elsa and willie are just sex toys for the adult archeologist, who seems to mistaken that for love. due to the fact that there's a pretty intense history to their relationship i'd look forward to a reunion filled with complications and tensions. however i think that the box office of dead man's chest could indicate that there's a hunger for traditional, old fashioned action adventure thrill ... i found it to be rather shocking to hear lucash using the word "struggling" when he was referring to the development of indyIV on connery's afi lta show. i'm wondering what the problem with the story is now...as the script first was set to be finished until the end of 2005. do we know for sure that koepp is still working on it? i just hope that lucas' hybris doesn't have a big part in the screenwriting process and that he's got his hands off that thing...
Blandest, most uninspired casting ever. by jollysleeve	Jul 10th, 2006 08:21:47 AM
And no, Natalie Portman does not look particularly like she could be the daughter of Indy or Marion. She resembles neither one of them. However, she has a big name and is already associated with another big movie franchise, so I guess none of it matters..... This reminds me of the time Gandalf was rumored to take over the Dumbledore role. Only in that case, it was baseless speculation from unimaginative drone-like movie-goers. This however, is probably real, since this still is George Lucas' property. If they were making this movie 7 years ago, people would be getting all excited about the possibility of Leonardo DeCaprio taking over the Indy role.
The way I see it in my head is that by beefywhore	Jul 10th, 2006 08:34:26 AM
Indy has 2 daughters played by Scarlet Johansen and Jessica Biel... and also, Indy's 2 daughters played by Scarlet Johansen and Jessica Biel are constantly making out with each other...

Portman is Over-rated by Superneal	Jul 10th, 2006 09:09:08 AM
Portman is so over-rated. She's made 2 good movies at best. THis frnchise is finished
Someone, please give me hope. by CreasyBear	Jul 10th, 2006 09:15:06 AM
Is there an original movie in the works that is action/adventure, NOT based on a video game or cartoon, NOT a sequel, NOT based on a comic book or regular novel, that seems to have a chance of not sucking? I mean, I understand that a good movie is a good movie, sequel or not, and I know that all movies have inspiration of some form or another, but I'm ready for something remotely new.
Indiana Jones and the College Tuition Loans by Reynard Muldrake	Jul 10th, 2006 09:16:58 AM
Unless she got a free ride at wherever he teaches. Seriously, if Lucas has his way with this one, she'll probably be named Henriette Jones, III. Or maybe it's George's way of redeeming her from the shit acting fest of the SW Prequels...giving her to Spielberg to do a real (good) blockbuster with. That being said, I think this rumor is shit and Karen Allen is just being paid by the studio to disseminate false leads on what it's going to be about. The real script is going to be Indiana Jones and the Moon Men who Kidnap Marion

Just get us a script for f---'s sake by howstone	Jul 10th, 2006 09:39:48 AM
... and the idea of the writer of Episode's 1-3 having script approval makes my skin crawl. I can see it now - "Hold me, like you did by the exploding tank". If Lucas holds this up for too much longer, it's gonna be "Indiana Jones and the Curse of Depends".

Indiana Jones & the DNA Sample of Doom by snappy	Jul 10th, 2006 09:51:05 AM
What's Harrison gonna do? Use his Zimmer frame to escape the death traps? He's old enough to be Portman's grandfather, let alone father. And didn't we already have a female Indiana Jones-type character in that god-awful series with Tia Carrere? As much as I like Natalie Portman (though that still seems pervy after seeing her first in Leon), I can't see her as a swashbuckling adventuress. Still, she couldn't be any less convincing than Keira Twice-Nightly in Pirates of the Crapibean
Biggest mistake of the series: Not keeping Marion. by minderbinder	Jul 10th, 2006 09:54:24 AM
Capshaw absolutely sucked, and I couldn't even tell you who the chick in the third one was...I think she was blonde? I don't really care about a fourth movie, I'd just as soon they not make it. But if they do, Portman would be fine. She's done a good job in every movie I've seen her in except Star Wars, and hell, even Sammy Jax looked like he couldn't act in those.
Indian Jones and the Baby Mama drama! by brycemonkey	Jul 10th, 2006 09:56:19 AM

"...she awakens in the submarine and casually grabs her nightgown." WRONG!!! Marion and Indy were not on a submarine, jackass. They were on Katanga's cargo ship. ANYONE who's seen Raiders would know this, so take this story with a grain of salt, because it's crap.
Portman? Puh-Lease! by Kentucky Colonel	Jul 10th, 2006 10:14:39 AM
I'm so glad there is an absoulte dearth of new, undiscovered acting talent these days that we have to use the same broad over and over again. OK, I did enjoy Sandra Locke in all those Clint Eastwood films in the late 70's...but she's aged a bit much. How about some FRESH TALENT, GUYS! I'll bet you could even save a couple o' bucks and use it writing a descent fucking script. Just a though...

That was on the ship that the sub hijacked, not the sub by GreatWhiteNoise	Jul 10th, 2006 10:51:48 AM
It was the ship's engines stopping (because of the sub) and Indy loading his pistol that woke Marion up. (Unless they managed to get hold of the captain's cabin on the sub as well, in which case between Indy and Belloq, that must have been a wild trip for Marion to that little island. No wonder she looked so tired on the march up to the altar ceremony.)

Portman has already contributed greatly to the lameness of the Star Wars prequels. She is far too wooden to bring on board an Indiana Jones movie. Natalie Portman is one of those inexplicably well-regarded actresses like Winona Ryder and Jennifer Connelly who, while hot-looking, have no inner life on screen. I hope this is just a rumor. Also... if Indiana Jones has a daughter, fine. But if she's played by a big star, then she'll have a big part. And do we really want to see THAT story...?

Portman's hot, but she's not a great actress (likewise Winona and Connelly) and we DON'T need another parent/child movie. Just keep it a simple adventure film like the original. And isn't Harrison going to be near 70 by the time this thing starts shooting? Wouldn't Portman have to be in her 40's-50's in order to be his daughter?
PULL THE PLUG! by one9deuce	Jul 10th, 2006 11:51:19 AM
It's over. Let it go George. The Phantom Menace seemed like it took an eternity to be released after Return of the Jedi, and it's already been longer than that since The Last Crusade. Raiders of the Lost Ark is my favorite film of all-time, and I would have liked to see another installment, but the fact that they can't come up with a good script after 17 years says a lot. Just read Indiana Jones and the Saucermen from Mars to see how horrible this fourth film could be.

Ship vs. Sub by abcdefghijklmnop	Jul 10th, 2006 01:50:20 PM
I think we can safely assume the scooper was referring to the ship and not the sub. I don't see how his casual choice of words completely negates the rumour. All the same, this is still a rumour that's been around for a few years. So either Karen just happened to read/hear about it, or it's an idea that still under consideration at some level.
yes cargo ship, not sub -sorry Jeditemple by mrandrew	Jul 10th, 2006 01:52:53 PM
yes i was at the screening of raiders. i meant to say the cargo ship instead of the sub. simple mistake. but this story is what karen allen said.

Other Karen Allen stories from the screening.. by mrandrew	Jul 10th, 2006 01:59:29 PM
she also told about how the scene with the white dress and belloq was originally meant to be a "seduction" scene between marion and belloq, but karen thought it would be out of charecter for marion to suddenly go from bad ass woman to simply a pretty girl trying to be damsel in distress. so speilberg told her that if she came up with a better idea for that scene (her problem was "why would i have a white dress in the desert?") should be then he'd use it. her idea was to have a reprise of the drinking scene (therefore still being a badass) and trying to get belloq drunk so she could escape. the white dress then served a "purpose" because it would allow her to hid the knife in her regular clothes. speilberg loved the idea and so that's what they filmed.
I would like to see this movie get made if.... by Turd Furgusen	Jul 10th, 2006 02:10:22 PM
they handle it the right way. Portman is great to look at and is good in certian roles. (The Professional) She doesn't seem to have the right stuff to be Indy's daughter. Also, if this movie is going to be packed with action, Ford can't be in the center of it. Fine if he helps from the sidelines, but he can't be invloved in any fist fights. He could if it were another "Bridge" scene in a Nazi retirement home. He punches his partner for laying down the wrong card. "I said, "Hearts"!"

Am I the only one who kind of likes this idea? by mediocrates	Jul 10th, 2006 04:53:41 PM
I'd love to see Marion come back. I'd love to see Short Round come back (although not being played by Jet Li). I'd love to see Natalie Portman (who was wonderful in Garden State) as Indy's daughter by Marion. So here's my idea: Indy (being as old as he is now) is retired from, er, "active" archeology, although he still teaches. Short Round is taking archeology classes with Indy, and is almost like a son to him. Everything is all dandy until Natalie comes along, claiming to be his daughter and telling Indy that Marion has been abducted by some neo-nazis or communists or somebody because she knows the location of something that her father had hidden away. I don't know, some artifact or another. So Indy takes off after Marion with Natalie and Short Round in tow. As the story goes on, a relationship forms between the three of them not entirely unlike the one that existed between Indy, Marion and her father. History repeats itself. Another thing I'd do with it is to have Indy's age factor in. Have his younger companions help out whenever needed. I don't know. It's not much, but it's a start, and I think I might work on a fan script around this. Now to come up with an artifact, a villain, and an end.
Just die already!!!!! by alienindisguise	Jul 10th, 2006 04:59:41 PM
There's a better chance than not this flick will NEVER be made and I'm fine with that...In the action adventure genre Spielberg and Lucas are washed up...If it does get made I expect to see alot of the shitty head replacement technique Lucas creamed all over in ep3 for any action scenes with Indy.
Instead of Indy 4, just have a reimagining, by CreasyBear	Jul 10th, 2006 05:14:19 PM

I remember way back in the mid to late 90's... by Bobo_Vision	Jul 10th, 2006 08:21:13 PM
...when it was first announced that a fourth Indy movie would be made, and that he would be searching for Atlantis, and the rumour back then, as reported by magazines like Cinescape, was that along with Sean Connery, Kevin Costner would be joining the cast as Indy's brother. And this was before it became a general consensus that Kevin Costner sucked ass. And I remember reading comments from several fans about how awesome it would be to see Indy and Kevin Costner together in a film, and how it would be like a teaming of Indy with Robin Hood, or Indy with Elliot Ness, and how it would be so totally cool, ...but there were a few people who were disgusted at how fans eat up whatever Hollywood serves them and that they could actually believe Kevin Costner as a brother would be a good idea. Well, the same applies to the notion of Natalie Portman as his daughter, or as Natalie Portman being a good actress. Period.

ever notice that Aliens not only changed the mythology of the aliens but it also had a little kid? Or how Scarface is a "reimagining" of what was a classic fim? Amazing what an audience will accept if the movie is engaging.

Actually there's an Indy movie in theatres now. by Orbots Commander	Jul 10th, 2006 11:35:46 PM
It's called POTC2. Not being facetious, but the audience that's making Jack Sparrow a household name were only a twinkle in their parent's eye when Last Crusade was released. POTC are this generation's Indiana Jones movies. I say let Indy rest with dignity. He went out on a high note. What, you want the same thing to happen to Indy that's currently going on with SR, a sequel continuing a story from a movie released in 1982?
Karen Allen v Other Jones Women by RallyV	Jul 10th, 2006 11:38:00 PM
Among the bad scripts, directors girlfriends, etc etc etc. Karen Allen did an interview quite a few years back, where she said that she and Ford just did not get on that great during the film. Not at each others throats or anything, they just did not have any off screen chemistry. Damn shame, because Marion is the best character in the series outside of Indy.
POTC is NOT this generations Indiana Jones... by Forestal	Jul 10th, 2006 11:54:47 PM
Also, Raiders was released in 1981 not 1982.
1982 I meant for Superman 2. by Orbots Commander	Jul 11th, 2006 12:00:26 AM
But that may also have been 1981. My point is that most 12-15 year olds in 2006 don't know or care who Indiana Jones is. Of course I could be wrong, but I'm not sure if Lucas or Paramount want to risk spending hundreds of millions on a franchise which may appeal only to an older crowd, like me.

Allison Doody was the third Indy chick by lotharius3rd	Jul 11th, 2006 03:40:40 AM
Goddammit! Nobody fucking has mentioned her. She was far hotter than Marion Ravenwood and, with her turning out to be a gold-digging baddy in the end, was a far more interesting character. And I wish to God people would quit bitching about "Temple of Doom." Sure, it was an entire movie made up of action set pieces that were ommitted from "Raiders," but it was still an essential part of my generation's cinematic upbringing. The mine car chase still makes guys I know cream their shorts with joy. Great comedy, great action. Don't bitch about Capshaw either. Yes, her character wasn't worth a shit to the entire series, but all she was supposed to be was a caricature of the damsel-in-distress type from the movie serials of the '30's that the enitre Indy series harkens back to.
I dont have any problems with indy having a daughter by misnomer	Jul 11th, 2006 03:51:22 AM
just as long as she doesnt know kung fu. spielberg has got koepp "tying up loose ends" on the script apparently which is due in a few months. call me cynical but how many rewrites do you need if lucas' "new idea" was so good? I'll be happy if frank darabonts script isnt completely sidelined as I think koepp has a good idea of structure and did a good job of spidey but isnt great on detail. so im hoping hes just rewriting the thrid act like it was rumored. but I'm sure that if theres no news by the end of 07 then they should just forget it.....
My generation... by lotharius3rd	Jul 11th, 2006 03:54:14 AM
totally remembers Indy. Half of us saw "Last Crusade" in theaters. But, like "Star Wars," it is next to impossible to go through your life without seeing these films. It is essential. It is why we fall in love with movies in the first place. So yes, people remember Indy. He still has a place reserved in most people's hearts. That said, I don't want to see this movie made. I think I even kind of like the idea of Indy having a daughter and that daughter being Natalie Portman. I don't mind how old Harrison is, he still looks the part. I would love to see Karen Allen come back. I would also love to see what Spielberg could do now with Indy, using the high glare factor of Janusz Kaminski's photography instead of the late Douglas Slocombe. But I have never seen a movie series make it past the evil number 4. "Lethal Weapon 4," sucked. "Alien Ressurection," suckerino. "Die Hard 4.0," gonna suck ass. They should accept that "Last Crusade" ended on a good note and leave this series alone. George Lucas is currently tied with Avi Arad as a man I most want to see die some horrible death due to his persistent prostitution of my childhood.
Portman... by lotharius3rd	Jul 11th, 2006 04:00:13 AM
was great in "Garden State." Loved her. She was good in "Closer." She was good in "Leon: The Professional." And she looks enough like Karen Allen that she could pass for Marion's daughter. But, misnomer, I totally agree with you. If she knows fucking kung-fu, or for that matter does anything throughout the entire run time of this film except scream for help, then this movie had beeter fucking die right now.
If Indy has to have a daughter... by Lefty Lefterson	Jul 11th, 2006 04:00:16 AM
...how about Evangeline Lilly? I'm not a big-time 'Lost' nerd, but, I don't know, she kind of looks a little like Karen Allen, doesn't she?
Who's Evangeline Lilly? by lotharius3rd	Jul 11th, 2006 04:03:19 AM
Lefty, I only get a chance to watch "Lost" on occasion, so you may have to fill me in on which character she is.
lotharius3rd by Lefty Lefterson	Jul 11th, 2006 04:27:42 AM
She plays Kate, the brunette with the criminal background and the sexual tension with Jack.
GOTCHA! by lotharius3rd	Jul 11th, 2006 04:43:44 AM
Thanks, Lefty. I thought that was Jacinda Barret. BTW, Kate is so much more into Sawyer than Jack. Jack is the good guy that she wants, but she knows Sawyer is the consistent asshole who's always gonna be there for her.

I heard that on Conan Obrian a few years ago. Cracked me up the first time I heard that. In all seriousness It's been 17 years since the last one. I'm done looking up news on this movie. Call me when they actually start filming it, for now on I can careless what is going on with this movie.

1. You just know they are going to name her Lara as a nod to Tomb Raider. 2. Women are no good at everything. :p
OOhh...I likey the idea of Ms.Lilly!!! by Big_Bubbaloola	Jul 11th, 2006 08:20:23 AM
I likey a lot. But then i'm a sucker for Evangeline. And Pippin gets to bury his little buddy into her on a nightly basis. Lucky bastard. As for Karen Allen....such a crush on her as a kid. She very nearly toppled Leia off the perch.

Natalie Portman by BLWiseass	Jul 11th, 2006 10:56:40 AM
She's attractive, but not super hot. Her "acting" in star wars was horrible (but so was everyone elses's except for maybe Ian Mcdiarmid and Ewan McGreggor) but she has been ok in ther things. She impressed me in that "oh wow, a child actor who can act" kind of way in Leon, but outside of that i haven't been terribly impressed by her. I guess this is a long way of saying i am pretty much on the fence.

To the people that say Portman looks like Karen Allen.. by jollysleeve	Jul 11th, 2006 11:29:08 PM
... are you being serious? Or is wishful thinking clouding your judgement? I think Angelina Jolie should play Willie's and Indy's daughter because Jolie is practically a dead ringer for both Ford and Capshaw. Maybe Ben Stiller or Vince Vaughn could play Sallah Jr.
