Lucasfilm comprises more than just Star Wars - what other options for corporate crossovers now exist?
My suggestion: Pirates of the Caribbean - The Legend of Monkey Island
Young Indiana Jones feature movies might not suck.
Remake The Black Hole.
With a coherent plot.
If you’re not aware, Pirates of the Caribbean kindais a Monkey Island movie already. The screenwriter for the first PotC movie had been the screenwriter attached to a unproduced MI movie, and there’s quite a few characters and scenes that seem to be recycled.
New Young Indy seems a no-brainer. Popular character, appeals to kids, and you don’t need to cast the increasingly geriatric Harrison Ford.
I wish they’d re-release the original series as it was aired, but since I’m probably one of only six people that would pay money for that, I can’t imagine it will happen.
Hook 2: He’s even older now!
I’d pay. I loved the episode when he was in Mexico with the Pershing expedition to get Pancho Villa. A certain Army lieutenant went out and provoked a fight in order to get information from a local. When the lieutenant brought the guy back to camp, it was “Lt. Patton, what have you done now?”
Indiana Jones vs. Howard the Duck
I liked the Young Indy show. I preferred the ones where he was ten to the ones where he was eighteen, but both were good. His tutor in the younger episodes reminded me incredibly of my grandmother.
If they revived the series, Harrison Ford could do the frame bits without makeup!
