Lucas Researching Concept For New Indiana Jones Film

Cycon writes "According to George Lucas, 'The franchise really depends on me coming up with a good idea. And that series is very research-intensive. So we're doing research now to see if we can't come up with another object for him to chase ... hopefully we'll come up with something.' Lucas 'scoffed at the possibility of passing the famed fedora from Ford to Shia LaBeouf,' instead stating, 'if [Harrison Ford] wasn't in it, you'd have to call it "Mutt Williams and the search for Elvis."'"

    I was thinking along the lines of, "Indiana Jones and the Search for the Higgs Boson, coming to a theater near you October 21, 2008."

    Indiana Jones and the Still Beating Heart of George Lucas

    Seriously, if the franchise really depends on Lucas coming up with a good idea, they might as well call it a day right now.

    Indiana Jones and the Time He Went Over to Shelbyville During the War.

    He wore a bullwhip on his belt. Which was the style at the time.

    I am not an archaeologist but I would imagine that the holy grail of Archaeology is THE HOLY GRAIL

    Archaeology is the search for fact. Not truth.So forget any ideas you've got about lost cities, exotic travel, and digging up the world. We do not follow maps to buried treasure and "X" never, ever, marks the spot.

    Hell, Episode 3 was the crowning achievement in the Star Wars saga, what with having an actual interesting plot and all.
