Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

[Rabulias]

If I were to make a time-travelling Indy movie, it would be called "Dial of Destiny."

Ooh... you just blew my mind. Maybe the scenes with him de-aged are not flashbacks, but Indy sent back in time to his WWII body? A dial might be a time travel device, but that would be a big tonal change for the series.

I think it's silly to not recast Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford is one of four actors to play him so far), but with deep fakes, we soon won't need to, so long as Disney pays for his likeness rights.

Five actors, even. The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles had Indy around 10, 16, and 90 years of age, each played by a different actor, and of course River Phoenix in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Yeah, that's just the sort of thing that flashed though my mind when I said that. It would be a big tonal change. But so was Crystal Skull, IMO, so...

Woof. That's all possible, but I really hope they aren't sending Indy back into his own younger body.

I expect he's going to team up with these guys.

just so I'm clear we all agree based on nothing more than a trailer and gut feeling that this will suck and bomb?

Gut feeling, before the trailer: "This is a terrible idea."

After the trailer: "This is still a terrible idea, but it might be really good."

I'd reboot Indy like they do Bond...

"The man I inherited it from was not the real Indiana Jones, either. His name was Cummerbund. The real Jones has been retired fifteen years and living like a king in Patagonia."
