Indy 4?
The crack of the whip. The swashbuckling hero. The 1930s-style cliffhangers.
Are we going to see actor Harrison Ford take out the fedora and whip from the Smithsonian Museum once more?
The problem is this. It’s taking a long time to get around to making Indiana Jones 4. The rumors are spreading more often than the current whereabouts of the Ark of the Covenant.
Is it a good idea to make another film? I don’t know.
We’re left with the final scenes of Indy, his father and colleagues riding off into the sunset. I liked the third one a lot. The father-and-son motif running through it was a good way of wrapping things up in the trilogy. It’ll be hard to beat. Now there's some fascinating movie ideas stemming from Noah's Ark to the fabled Atlantis.
Someone in the filmmaking business once described a movie as a “goddamn miracle.” Now we’re coming back to familiar grounds. Ford, Lucas and Spielberg finally find the right script to work with. Maybe Ford won’t be feeling the creaks in his knees yet. He says he’ll be doing his own stunts. Not bad for a guy hitting 60. He’s got more guts than I do. Or maybe he’s just crazy.
Anything could happen. Lucas already screwed up twice with the Star Wars prequels before making a decent entry into the flagging series. The same thing could happen with Indiana Jones 4. It could turn out to be a dud. Though director Spielberg seems to have better batting scores when it comes to making halfway decent films. I feel like they should leave the series stand as it is. I love the movie series. I don't want to see it end on a bad note.
Plenty of ways to get the Indiana Jones experience. Try the video game “Indiana Jones and the Emperor’s Tomb” which takes the whip-cracking hero through a global-trotting search for an artifact from Chinese lore. It’s every bit as dedicated and faithful to the movies. The Nazis are in there too. You can never get tired of beating on those guys.
A series of novels which chronicles Indiana Jones from his New Jersey college days up to the more familiar world-weary hero we come to love. Some of the books by Max McCoy uses a great subplot with Indy discovering the Crystal Skulls. We find out why Indy doesn’t like being in a deep relationship with a woman. He's already lost a woman he loves. He doesn't want that to happen again.
I have an early memory of “Raiders of the Lost Ark” when I was just eight-years-old. With Indy dashing through the Peruvian forests as countless Hovitos chase after him. Pure filmmaking. It’s one of the finest movie moment for me. Those movie moments are becoming rarer these days.
If anything else, they’re going to need to make this new movie before the archeologist becomes Grampa Jones.
