    I chose option 3. It's not that I don't think it'll be good, but it's really hard to match the original three movies. :)

    The way I see it, it's too early to tell. There is not even a shooting script yet, just a draft and a script that won't get made.

    That said if (big IF) it gets made it'll probably be a worthy addition. Spielberg is in top form and even his worst is usually a 1000 times better than 99% of the product out there.

    This was a toughie. I couldn't decide between options two and three (and I still can't). But I voted for the third, just because I believe that's the worst possible scenario I can see happening.

    It will be a good film at the very least.

    I'm hoping it will be just as great as the first three, though. With Spielberg still in top form, Lucas' creative ideas, and a sharp and witty script, it could very much be.

    I don't really care. If it gets made, I'll watch it. If not, oh well.

    I don't really know about it yet.
    I guess it is difficult to judge now.
    I have my doubts whether it will be made.

    I voted option three. I am secretely hoping that Indy 4 never gets made. I love the three existing movie, but I do not believe that a forth installment with a much older Harrison Ford could be nearly as good.

    It would make me very sad to see an addition to the Indiana Jones series that just isn't up to snuff. :(




    :cool: Mace Windy,

    I chose option 3 as well. I've never thought that the two sequels lived up to the quality of Raiders, but they are still enjoyable films. I imagine that 4 (if it is made) will be the same.

    I don't see it getting made. I'm still not convinced its a good idea. I don't want to see Indy playing second fiddle to a younger brother or anything like that.

    Somehow I feel finally they won't make it. But I still think it might be quite a good movie. It seems that there are still many willing to create similar films.
    For example both "Lara Croft" films seemed to me as a new and female version of Indiana Jones. But still, they appeared to be rather soul-less and humour-less compared to Indies.

    I chose option 3. I think there's the possibility of it being as great as the originals, but I'm just being on the safe side right now.

    I was very tempted, sadly, to say that I don't think it will ever get made, though. Honestly, I've been following this since... gosh, I don't know when. 1996 or so? Dangit, get it made already! :p

    Don't care. It can be really good, or really bad. If it's made, I think that'd be great. If it's not, I think that'd be great as well.

    "It would make me very sad to see an addition to the Indiana Jones series that just isn't up to snuff."

    A lot of us..including me..think that's already happened with "Temple of Doom" which was vastly inferior to "Raiders". Thank heaven that Spielberg and Lucas were able to recover so well with "Last Crusade".

    Indy 4 is certainly spending more then it's share of time in "development hell". That there have been so many "it's on...no it's off" makes me wonder if it will ever really happen.
    And don't mention the "Tomb Raider" movies in the same breath with the Indy films. Both of the "Tomb" movies were pure crap. Flawed as it is, "Temple of Doom" at least has some good stuff in it along with all the weak stuff, but the Croft movies were nothing but crap.

    For ages, I considered it to be:

    Indiana Jones & The Search For More Money, because it seemed that it would never get made, but now that a script is actually doing the rounds, I'm a little more optimistic. I just hope it is of some good.

    I don't keep up with all the news but right now I'm probably in the "let's wait and see the movie first" mindset. None of the options seem to be that, except maybe the "I don't care" one, so I didn't vote.

    Earlier this year Ford gave Lucas and Spielberg a two year deadline
    to get into production. I'm usually Mr. Optimist, but I'm beginning
    to think the film will never get shot.
