Now that Disney owns the rights to Indiana Jones too, what’s gonna happen to this franchise???

Before George Lucas, announced retirement, George, Steve, and Harrison has been planning an, “Indy 5”. They have been talking about “Indy 5” in interviews, extensively. Now this makes people wonder what’s going on with the future of, Indiana Jones. Questions that need to be asked.

  • Will Steven Spielberg still direct, without George Lucas?
  • Will Harrison Ford still play Indy even if Spielberg and Lucas both steps down?
  • Will Indiana Jones become all kiddy friendly now that Disney owns Lucasfilm?
  • Can this franchise continue to be successful and huge without the original team: Ford, Spielberg, and Lucas?
  • Will the next Indy film leave off from “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” or, will they totally re-boot the series?

Paramount Pictures have been the home of Indiana Jones, for many years, and now Indiana Jones have found a new home. I’m going to miss the Paramount intro at the beginning of each Indy film, where the intro will show the Paramount mountain with stars flying around it. We might see the Disney logo as the intro instead.

I’m a huge Indiana Jones fan. Love all the movies, even the fourth one that everyone is hating on. The Indiana Jones movies are supposed to be violent action movies with comedy thrown into the mix. “Raiders of the Lost Ark”, will always be the best Indy film. That film is a classic, and an essential. I love it way too much. That is one movie, I’ll never get tired of watching.

I just have mixed feelings on Disney owning Lucasfilm. I like the idea of them being in charge of Star Wars ’cause they deserve better films, but Indy however, is different. I’m pretty skeptical of Disney being in charge of Indy. I wish Steve Spielberg would try to get the rights from Lucas about Indy, ’cause only Spielberg can make great Indy movies. Disney might ruin ’em. If Ford and Spielberg are both not down for the next Indy film, they might as well re-boot the Indy franchise. Which wouldn’t surprise me, that they might be planning an Indiana Jones re-boot.

  1. Disney can’t make Indy films yet. Paramount still has a contract to make future Indy films.

    ” So what’s going to happen with the future of everyone’s favorite professor/adventurer?

    For now, the answer is apparently nothing. Following the announcement of the major acquisition executives from the Walt Disney Company held a conference call, and when the subject of Indiana Jones came up Bob Iger said that the character was not factored into the equation during the deal. This is because Paramount Pictures, which distributed the previous movies featuring the character, still has a contract in place. How the situation may change in the future is unknown at this time.”

    So breathe easy. Disney is more interested in Star Wars for now.
