A new rumor alleges that The Walt Disney Company and its subsidiary Lucasfilm are planning a full reboot of Indiana Jones.This Substack is reader-supported.
One of the essential elements of a good Indiana Jones story is reverence for God. They are morality tales where men try to claim godhood for themselves and fail because they are unworthy. No one in Hollywood is capable of writing a story like that today.
I know Harrison Ford is older, but don't reboot the show. Continue it, using a younger archeologist as Indy's hand and feet. Indy was always the brains, and I think it would be fitting for him to become the next Dr. Jones who draws a new Archeologist into the field.
Fer cryin' out loud, another stupid reboot. Why, why, why can't Hollywood expand the character roster, establish a new character in the IP, and run with it? A different archaeologist, maybe a paleontologist even (dinosaurs!). Like the James Bond setting, which could have other double-0 agents as the star, it wouldn't trample on the original character.

You just cannot hate Kathleen Kennedy quite enough. She's the Wesley Mooch of Disney-owned IPs.
