Indiana Jones 4?


I had this last Wednesday, but had Birthday posts to get up so here is the update, tho you have probably heard.

Ford eager to start new Indiana Jones film
Wed Mar 15, 5:53 AM ET

Harrison Ford is ready to jump back into his favorite film role and begin shooting the fourth Indiana Jones movie soon, a German magazine quoted the Hollywood actor as saying on Wednesday.
"Steven Spielberg and I now have a script in hand that we both like. I believe that we can start with the filming soon," Ford was quoted as saying in an interview with German lifestyle and entertainment magazine Fit for Fun.
The third and last Indy film, 1989 hit "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," starred Ford as the whip-swinging archaeologist and Sean Connery as his bumbling father.
Ford, 63, was quoted as saying that he needed "to do a little practicing with the whip" to avoid injuries.



Since they have a script already, I thought I would explain my plot outline that I came up with a few years back. Let me know what you think.

We begin with our Hero, Indiana Jones on one of his famous adventures to gain artifacts for the museum. Indy is older now and not quite as quick as he used to be, but he still has the drive and passion for his quests. He struggles thru the maze of the temple with a few cuts bruises and reaches the inner sanctum to retrieve the artifact. He is exhausted but smirks that famous "Fortune and Glory kid!" smile seeing his payoff only yards away. All of a sudden he is alerted by rocks falling from the ceiling. He looks around to find a young man, in his early 20's, dangling from a rope perched just above the artifact. He snatches it and escapes out of the ceiling. Indy stands there in disblief and shakes his head "Huh? Who was that? Am I getting to old for this stuff?"

Indy returns home, shakes it off and continues to try and obtain artifacts for Marcus and the museum. Unfortunately it seems as tho the young man is one step ahead of him every step of the way. Eventually Indy makes contact with him, and they both get captured by the evil mastermind because they can lead him to Profesor Ravenwood's daughter, Marion. She has what he wants, her father's research on a highly prized archaeological artifact.

How can this young man help Indy save Marion Ravenwood? This young man is Marion's son...and Indy is his Dad!!! Marion never told Indy that their adventure of The Arc of the Covenent produced more than just memories! Now Indy must reconcile, bond and eventually hand the whip down to his son, who is very much like his father.(only much younger)


Yeah I know this sounds very similar in spots to the Last Crusade, the details are negotiable, the basic story plots are my main focus. Indy is old, it would provid great comedic moments between Indy and his newly discovered son and why not bring back some old characters like Marion? Henry Sr. and Sallah would of course be main staples in the plot as well.

What do you think???
