Should: Indiana Jones and the City of Gold, early 60s, goes through the jungles of Brazil, lost cyclopean ruins, and discovering along the way hold-out Nazi's with a plot to return to power... Will: Indiana Jones and the Pick of Destiny: Late 50's, Indy discovers a magical artifact and somehow bumbles around England and the US, managing to meet every classic rock band from the era in their early days. Mutt hilariously gets stuck in Canada for most of the movie. Special Guest Stars: Jack Black and Justin Beiber as Mutt's chubby older friend and feminine younger buddy.

Well, the way I see a new Indy movie would have the main character involved with art theft. Art was the big thing in the sixties. I also read 'The Court of Owls' in 'Batman' comics, a story could be made like that one.

Well if that isn't a picture of three out of four of the four horseman of the Apocalypse.

How it Should Be: Mexico, 1963. Indiana Jones is an old man, searching for the fabled city of El Dorado. His wife and son have been killed. Brody has been killed. His father died years ago. His legendary hat and whip have become relics of a simpler time, a time where the world made sense and  where he knew who his enemies were. He is alone, lost, broken, and angry. As he sets out to complete his final expedition, he must complete his quest for revenge, all the while dealing with the realization that he too belongs in a museum. Lucasfilm presents: Indiana Jones and the Fall of El Dorado. How it Will Be: AmericaTown, 2235! Indy is back as a lovable and slightly racist cyborg, with a new sidekick, zombie Teddy Roosevelt! Together they set out to stop the Neo-Nazis from finding the one creature that could change the course of history: The Sumatran Sharkbear! Can Cyber-Indy lubricate all 14000 of his moving parts in time? Can Zombie Teddy Roosevelt overcome his bear-punching addiction! Find out this Summer, in the all new Cashgrab: Indiana Jones and the Legend of Who Still Gives a Flying Fuck.

Something along the lines of "the Nazis and the communists were in it together all along". Americans already think we were allied with Germany against Russia; why not just go for the other wrong answer?

Hey, Fates! Yo momma's so fat...

What It Should Be: Indiana Jones and the Trail of the Thin Red Line An elderly Indiana Jones uses the last of his contacts garnered through years of adventures  to recover the greatest find of his life, the Arc of the covenant, which has disappeared from the national archives, before retired Argentinean Nazis recover it in an attempt to revive the Third Reich. Indiana Jones and the rise of the Red Tape. An elderly Indiana Jones uses the last of his contacts built up through years of adventures and sits in an unnamed governmental office for two hours, while he fills out the proper forms, discusses the ramifications of a trade dispute with three secretaries while trying to fight a loitering ticket.

Not close as far as I am concerned, however it is just my own opinion. While all the films were geared toward an adventure aspect any young person would enjoy, they weren't "kiddie" films except for Crystal Skull. Since reading your post, I've been trying to think of some of the more redeeming factors of the film which are on par with the others. All I could come up with are the fist fights with the Russian that brought me back to the previous entries. I still watch Raiders, Doom and Crusade when they show up on television, however I can't make it through a full 5 minutes of Crystal Skull without feeling i'm watching something akin to Journey to the Center of the Earth or Journey 2...

People who hate Kingdom of the Crystal Skull can't possibly like Raiders of the Lost Ark or Last Crusade, because those three films all share a similar look and feel. They feel like a trilogy, with Temple of Doom as the weird odd duck that doesn't fit in.

Indiana Jones and the Secrets of the Ark: Set in the mid 50's, Indiana Jones is reunited with Marion after the Ark of the Covenant is stolen from Area 51 by an unknown enemy. Indiana and Marion follow this secretive group who is trying to use the Ark in order to find Aaron's Rod, a powerful staff of power which rivalled that of the Staff of Moses. In tracking down this group, all evidence seems to point to the long thought dead Abner Ravenwood. Indiana, with Marion at his side, must face his old ally in a battle to control an artifact with the power to dominate the world!!!! What we will get: Indiana jones and the Crystal Skull... Oh, wait a minute... Fuck.

Up.  It should be like Up.  A great adventure with an old man. 

I thought it was a different part of Rasputin that became an amulet. "Snakes! Why does it always have to be snakes!?"

Aaaaahhh.  Never quite caught that.  I always thought the "stay within the seal" was just for protecting the holy grail from the rest of the world, and that that was the price for immortality.  The fact that he had to guard the damn thing for hundreds of years.  Good point!

Three steps. Kill the fucking kid, make it about a temple that worships a snake god, have Indy confront the snake god.

Harrison Ford will (kinda) star in Indiana Jones and the Devil's Clock: a wild, globe-spanning race to stop a doomsday cult from achieving their sinister goals.  Sadly, Harrison Ford will break a hip and his part will be performed by the kinnect's dancing Han Solo because someone let George Lucas watch Tron Legacy.

 If what he said was true he should have told us in advance he was doing an Ed Wood homage and we would have enjoyed the film as a parody.

 Or will ever exist since I am sure if George ever pens a new Indy he will come here just to be sure his idea is worse than anything we come up with.

Harrison Ford will star in: Indiana Jones and the Silver Bullet. What should happen: A legendary story of a man driven to find the legendary silver bullets blessed by the Church under the patronage of St. Herbert for hunting down Werewolves (seriously, there is a patron saint of the hunt and lots of hunting stuff was blessed in his name). This could be uber cool secret society stuff, cool mountain and black forest montages, etc. What will happen: Ol' George will splice some random bits of film and CGI together and give us.... The story of a man driving a Black 55 chevy around town, hunting down the legendary Wolfman Jack in the hopes of impressing women and eventually getting into a drag race in said car instead of ever confronting said Wolfman. George will later point out this actually is a remastered "Director's Super Duper" cut of his American Graffiti film he always intended. Indy's Fedora will be digitally remastered on every scene of Harrison and Bob Falfa's name will be redubbed "Indy" throughout.

what should happen Indy goes hunting after a acient mask that would among other things allow  him finaly to retire but in the wrong hands he keeps doing these things since  the one who wants it Lucas would be giving him and mutt immortality .what will happen  indie and mutt a few years after the crystal skull are off having to track down  an ancient shark skelton that would grant the user unlimited power over every thing plus Indie learns he has another kid.

Indiana Jones and the Simple Calculation.  Indie is distrught that kids are being made stupid by the rise of the computer age.  So he travels the world showing children what library research and a good number two pencil will get you. 

Indiana Jones and the Ruby Tsunami. In the Young Indiana Jones TV series we saw an elderly Indie in a museum telling stories of his youth.  He was a tweed jacketed man with a patch over his eye which did not entirely cover the scar.  That's the story I want to see.  How did he lose his eye?  And his clothes should change somewhat with the passsage of time.  Keep the hat, but come on, his pants have to get holes in the knees.

What should happen: 10 years after crystal skull, Indy is long retired from adventuring and spends his time researching in his library. He's brazenly kidnapped by a crazed cult leader, hoping to find evidence of an ancient alien master race's prophecy. Indy leaves as many clues as he can, counting on one man to decipher them and discover the truth - Mutt Williams! Will Mutt, along with sexy archeology student Samatha Smith, find Indy in time? Can Indy avert the cult's devious plans - a doomsday nuclear device that wil destroy the entire world? Find out in Indiana Jones and the Second Sun... (the appeal of this movie for me would be the struggle between indy's love of history, and the cultists desire to bend and twist history to fit their desires.) What will happen: 10 years after crystal skull, Indy is long retired from adventuring and spends his time researching in his library. Unexpectedly he's asked by numerous museums to investigate a rash of artifact thefts around the world. When he discovers a massive black market auction is about to take place, he enlists the help of FBI agent mutt Williams to crack the case. But, things get complicated when they discover the identity of the mysterious thief - Short Round! This and more, all in Indiana Jones and the Second Son.

What Should Happen:  Spielberg and Lucas partner up with Ridley Scott.  The story:  a mysterious industrialist asks Indy to investigate a series of archaeological digs all uncovering nearly identical star maps.  As it dawns on Indy what Mr. Weyland intends to do, he races to make sure that the information in these sites never makes it back to him.  He fails, and the events of "Prometheus" ensue. What Will Happen: Indy 5 remains in development hell until either Lucas, Spielberg, or Ford dies.  Shortly thereafter, the series is "rebooted" with Channing Tatum as Indy.

I think it would be similar to Jason X.  Indiana wakes up on Atlantis, a large space station, 100 years in the future after being cryogenically frozen.  Aliens have stolen The Heart of Atlantis, which powers the ship.  If he is unable to retrieve the Heart, the station will fall into a nearby black hole.

Professor Jones wakes up next to his wife, Suzanne Pleshette, in a 60's mod apartment. "I had the craziest dream; something about an exploding refrigerator, cartoon ants & a petulant douchebag son." Suzzane tells Dr. Jones to have a drink of water and go back to sleep. She hands him a plain goblet, the kind a poor carpenter would own. He drinks, then closes his eyes and dreams of the time he found the Ark of the Covenant. (The audience is then treated to a screening of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in its entirety.)

I just want to point out that the first one was five lines when I typed it.

What should happen: Indiana Jones and The Jewel of Solomon After an opening sequence contrasting Mutt on some sort of Indy-esque adventure with a domestic yet restless Indy, Marion dies. Indy goes off to find a jewel belonging to the queen of Sheba for her to be buried with, to prove to the world (and himself) that he was really in love with her. However, what he's ultimately doing is trying to die the same way that he lived. Meanwhile, Mutt spends half the movie trying to find Indy before showing up just in time to keep Indy from getting himself killed. What will happen: Indiana Jones and the Return of the Lost Ark. The Ark of the Covenant gets stolen by a Nazi war criminal and the US government thinks Indy is the only one that can stop him. Indy agrees, but only if his family can come with him. Meanwhile, Mutt hates being called Mutt and demands that his parents start calling him Flynn.

what should happen: indy's dad is found alive frozen in an iceberg it turns out that he and teddy roosevelt were jousting on top of wooly mammoths with kryptonite laced adamantium spears just for the fuck of it when gaia stopped them knowing it would lead to the destruction of earth then mutt makes another of his youre a tired old man gags and both teddy and indy's dad pimp slap him so hard it reverberate s through time to the point of mutts inception and stops him from ever being born what will happen: mutt will try to act tough he will fail at this and then speilberg will say its supposed to be a parody of movie greasers also harrison ford will be a cameo at the start middle and end of the film taking up about ten minutes of actual runtime all of which will be in the trailer making it seem like he's the main character also you will never see anyone be shot just mutt firing the gun then a wilhem scream with enemies dying off screen

What should happen: Indiana Jones and the Crystal Hangover; A slovenly Dr. Jones awakens abruptly in a dusty crate in warehouse 13 surrounded by empty bottles of Dan Akroyds deliciously smooth Crystal Skull vodka. Were the aliens real? Does Dr. Jones really have a son? Or was it all a vivid, binge drinking induced nightmare?

this only the gunman is indy's dad and mutt is a robot built to  drive indy mad also the marion in crystal skull was just some homeless junkie the robot needed as a cover

 I ment should happen...damn

What will happen: Indiana Jones passing of the whip will be the story of Indy passing the whip onto Mutt. This will be a great moment as shortly after getting the whip mutt will strike himself in the dick ensuring he will never reproduce, and give the true fans a great final memory of Shia withering  in pain and agony.

What should happen: During WW2, Indy works with the OSS to defeat the Nazis, and he is sent to Switzerland to capture what might be the Spear of Destiny. Inevitably, Nazis chase him, and the movie becomes one massive chase/search through Switzerland and Bavaria. What will happen: We get an Indy movie directed by George Lucas, written by Dan Brown, and entirely about The Beef. Oh, and the only scene with an aging Indy is him saying "I hate snakes!" over and over again. And before the movie, the only trailer is for Uncharted 4.

I've seen that comic before. I can't like this idea enough.

 You have forgotten that it only works if you stay within the seal. For "that is the price for immortality."

What could happen:  Indiana Jones and the Pillars of Hercules Our story opens June, 1969. Following Mutt's death aboard the USS Frank E Evans destroyer, Dr. Jones finds research pertaining to a vast and mysterious treasure connected to Atlantis among Mutt's personal effects. Despite the recent loss of an eye, Indy sets sail for the Pillars of Hercules...driven by fortune and glory once more. What will happen: Indiana Jones and the Curse of Atlantis Our story opens June, 1969. Using the fateful sinking of the USS Frank E Evans destroyer, Mutt Williams goes AWOL from the Navy and assumes the name of Indiana Jones. Despite his inexperience, "Indy" recruits a rag-tag band of treausure hunters to help him find the lost city of Atlantis...driven by the desire to earn respect and approval from Henry Jones, Jr.

*Laughs hystericaly* Ah, a shame. While amusing, your entry was longer than five lines. Sorry! Have to check the rules next time!

That was a little longer than 5 lines, but it's both my entries, so it's still way too long. Oops.  

What shoul happen: Indy and Mutt go to find the parts of the Colossus of Rhodes to put it back together, but get caught in an avalanche and die, ending the series. What will happen: Mutt picks up Indys hat and whip and goes on an adventure with Angelina Jolie to find an ancient artifact which turns out to be a transformer. Half the movie will be Shia LaBitch whining about how perfct his life is, and the other half will just be spoon fed explosians.

What should happen: On his 70th birthday, Indiana looks out across a packed lecture hall and has an epiphany. He looks down at his planned lecture on ancient curses, whip whipping, and Nazi punching, and decides instead to speak from the heart. "I've been living a lie," Laments Indiana. "I routinely use the leg bones of centuries old Mesoamerican mummies as torches, billy clubs, to prop up one leg of my coffee table and, on at least one occasion, to pleasure a woman. And while I am an expert marksman, have one of the most extensive collections of khaki shirts on Earth -- The top several buttons of which, I'm proud to add, have never been used -- and can accurately judge the weight of a stone idol to within half a gram, a range far more accurate than that of any carny weight guesser and close enough to fool nine out of ten ancient rube-goldbergian boobie traps. And yet, I have never been published and I don't believe I even own a trowel." Indy looked out over his students, he took in the shock on their faces. Some stood up, demanding a refund for course money, others looked sadly at the fedoras they had been forced to purchase from the school book store with a sense they'd been had, and one pretty coed continued to furiously blink her eyes, across the lids of which had been written, "Dear Old Man Teacher, Do You Have Mutt's #?" Filled with remorse, Indy announces, "I am a terrible archeologist." After a long pause he adds, "I'm going to spend the rest of my days cataloging pottery shards as pennance." What will happen: In the surefire blockbuster, Indiana & Mutt Jones in the Inappropriate Use of Snakes, Serpents, and A-Bombs!, our heroes Indiana and Mutt are on the hunt for The Golden Maguffin, a thousand year old device that, if it falls into the wrong hands, would be terrible! And along the way, they keep getting into trouble. For instance, on one occasion, Indy falls into quicksand and Mutt runs through the forest, leaping over fallen branches and ducking under stout vines until he finds an anaconda that would make a suitable lifeline. Later, their car breaks down and Indy is working under the hood. "I need something to use for a timing belt," Indy says to his long lost son.  Mutt hands him a banded corn snake. In the second reel, they need to infiltrate the enemy lair during a fancy dress party. Looking down at their shabby garb of sweat stained, soiled, and mostly unbuttoned khakis, Mutt announces, "I've got just the thing!" And from his man-purse he removes a nice silk tie for himself and, for his father, a spitting cobra which he staples to Indy's neck. Finally, in the third real, Indy and Mutt need to quickly get to the 4th floor of an ancient temple. With no ropes, stairs, or snakes long enough to reach the tower, they stand on a piece of plywood balanced on an A-Bomb. The ignite the A-Bomb and are hurtled thrillingly upward 50 feet in time to save the day! When they get home, they realize it's the 4th of July, light off 2 more A-Bombs and then Mutt throws burning snakes at his aging father to celebrate our independence.

What Lucas will do: Indy and Mutt team up with Short-Round, Winnie and the monkeys from the last movie, who now have formed a traveling circus act, to go on an adventure that leads to the discovery that the Bay of Pigs was the result of alien interference. Indy will survive exposure to weaponized Ebola by taking a cough drop.

What should happen: Mutt's horrific and disgusting murder prompts Indy to conduct an investigation that will lead him into a world of international intrigue, horror and a centuries old conspiracy

What should happen: Indiana Jones and the Staff of Dominion After years of treasure hunting, Indy has retired and spends his days working unhappily as a museum curator and spending his nights in a drunken haze.  He gets kidnapped by a secret organization of nazi's who want him to help them find an ancient artifact: The Staff of Dominion, a staff said to be held by the greatest war generals and able to bend the will of all.  Luckily the night of his disappearance, Indy was being visited by a would be investor and long-time friend, the one and only Short Round, now grown up as a business man.  Having been ridiculed by his peers at a younger age for his "tall tales" no one believed, he moved on and put his past behind him.  But now with his old friend in danger, Short Round will have to step up as a new generation of treasure hunter.  What will actually happen: Indiana Jones and the Staff of Dominion Same thing as above,except no Short Round and Mutt Williams (Played once again by Shia Lebeuf) also works there as a bumbling janitor, but once his friend is taken and no one believes him, it's up to him to save Indy!  The movie will be filled with slap stick humor and Harrison Fold saying "I'm too old for this" as a condescending nod to the fans as to say "yea, indy's been around for a while hasnt he?"

Indiana Jones and the Amazing Lemon Party

What should happen--  We get a new actor,in his 30s, as Indy, just as we've had numerous James Bonds, and a new, rollicking serial-style adventure set in the 30s or 40s. What will happen-  A sad attempt at an adventure starring an old man, set in the 60s, with his loser son no one cares about, directed by George Lucas, completely missing the fun and spirit of the original films.

You can't really "spoil" a story THAT DOESN'T EXIST! 

 It seemed unfair to throw out an idea that certainly has the bones to be and Indy script, and not let the people reading it have an idea of how *I'd* end the thing.  And I've seen nerd rage over spoilers.  I like my head attached to my body.  ;)

What will happen good film or bad: The [Insert Villain] well get control of the McGuffin and be killed by it. The McGuffin will then vanish. Hmm, perhaps there could be a Warehouse 13 shout out in the after credits scene.

 Nah, that would totally Nuke the Pants.

Should Happen: Indiana Jones and the Mystery of the Spooky Ghost! Highlights: "Full time!" Mutt swims with dolphins. Politics. E.T. cameo. Lucas HAPPY!! Will Happen: I go to my scheduled lobotomy appointment. Highlights: Duuuuuuh, uh, gaaahh!!
