I know I'm making a generalisation but wasn't 'The Mummy' really an Indiana Jones movie in disguise so you can count it as already being done. Why not having a 'James Bond' type of arrangement that if a different actors comes in then it is okay. I mean, could you imaging Sean Connery still doing Bond films or Daniel Craig still doing to role in twenty years time. Find someone else to cast, write a good script, get a good director and let them sort out something. I mean, were already getting a non-Lucas Star Wars and the majority of us seem to trust Abrams so why don't we just do the same.
Indiana Jones to me is kindve a lightning in a bottle situation. I think they missed their window to exploit the franchise by not making another movie or two between temple and crusade, and not making another till crystal skull. I think the problem is so much of the appeal was entirely the people involved and the spirit / timing, rather than the concept or any story. Indiana Jones is purely the character not the characters "universe" or any specific aspect or trait... and Harison Ford IS the character.

I completely agree with you. This is different then Bond. Besides Connery, there was source material Ford IS apart of the source material.
And if The Mummy counts, add Tomb Raider & National Treasure to the mix.

Don't forget Tales of the Golden Monkey.
Interesting side note. Jake Cutter and Tales of the Gold Monkey were created prior to Raiders but not released till after. They take heat for being derivative but actually they came first.
A.Q. predates I.J. by decades, and was, in fact, one of the main inspirations for Indy.

Gotcha.
But in terms of lumping franchises together, Indy should really be lumped in the Allan Quatermain category, than vice versa.

So, does Extrodinary League of Gentlemen (movie) fit in there as well? Hmmm.

The only place LOEG fits is up Sean Connery's arse.

Win!
Even though it was the Tom Sawyer character that dragged the movie down for me. And any movie that features a car chase through the streets of Venice has got problems right from the start.

Personally? I won't miss his work.
If he follows through on this tweet, it will be the greatest gift he can bestow upon the world.
And if The Mummy counts, add Tomb Raider & National Treasure to the mix.
