George Lucas Continues to Have Thoughts; Fans Continue to Cringe

George Lucas and Harrison Ford

Harrison Ford told the Los Angeles Times this week that George Lucas is in ‘think mode’ regarding a fifth film in the Indiana Jones franchise. And as fans have feared since the release and subsequent box office success of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, an Indiana Jones 5 is gaining momentum. As for who is the catalyst for the momentum for another revival of the whip-cracking archaeologist, Ford explains that it is coming from some sort of other dimension:

“Really, it comes from the ethos, from the ether. It’s natural. It’s a way of nature, of course, success breed opportunities … also we don’t stay as closely in contact as have in the last year, that’s part of it.”

So, it’s organic? As in, I could pick up the idea from a trip to Whole Foods? I’m confused. For many fans, that could explain some of the plot of the last Indiana Jones movie. Alright, I give up.. My wit has run out.

Time to discuss the possibilities of Indiana Jones 5 in the comment area below…

    I say just ignore Crystal or at the very least go back to what made series great:
    Harrison being a smart ass kicking some evil ass and getting the girl and the ancient artifact at the end of the day.. forget Mutt and the aliens.
  • Mister Hand
    A fifth Indiana Jones film could be awesome. So long as they fire Lucas.
  • Mladen
    The next one should be about Time Travel and his sidekick should be Miley Cyrus. Hey George, give me a call, I think we're on the same page here.

    Indiana Jones was the biggest disappointment of the year, because of Lucas, and the damn aliens
  • TL
    I really wish the Lucas haters would give it a rest.
    Crystal Skull was fun. Yeah, it wasn't as good as the others, I know...
    It's all George's fault, I know.
    Phantom Menace ruined everything I held sacred as a child, I know...
    Don't get me started on The new Clone Wars Cartoon, I'm already starting my own site about that, I know...

    The Hatred for Lucas is not merely attached it has been earned over the last 10 years. If Lucas wants to be remembered for what successes he had in the past he needs to pass on his franchises to younger more experianced directors.

    Another Indiana movie?? Only if neither he nor Speilberg are directing it.

    I wouldn't mind spielberg, he seems to make good movies when he's on his own, i just think Lucas wanted a more futuristic feel (because he thinks aliens make every movie good) and that just doesn't work for indiana.

    you know, i loved Indiana Jones 4, it was fun, and it was nineteen years after the last one, so it wasn't a terrible idea to make it.
    even if Indy 5 came out, i would probably see it, but i think they shouldn't make it, it was fun seeing harrison ford as indy again, but only once
    george lucas shouldn't make a whole new trilogy of indy movies, indy 4 really seemed like a conlcusion to me, like them telling us what happened to indy in later life, like an epilogue to the trilogy, so to make another one...suffice to say he shouldnt do it
  • Woodward
    I'll give him this, it was fun to watch Ford as Indy one last time, but I didn't like the fourth, it was horrid, a fifth would be bad idea, speilburg and Lucas are way passed their prime, none of them have made a decent movie in several years, i feel it would be best if they got people like J.J. Abrams, jon favreu ( i can't spell) Nolan to direct, they know how to appeal to the current audience while keeping the movie good, as far as mutt goes, the idea of adding a new character to take on the role is [was] a good idea, and i think lebouf (misspelled?) could've done the part, he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time so to speak, he shouldnt be blamed, the directors/writers should, seriously, vine swinging with monkies?
