Chris Pratt from Star Lord to Indiana Jones *Spielberg wants in*

[MartyMcFly]

Deadline is reporting this so it's got some weight to it:

Here’s one from the helluva good idea department. Marvel offerings are soaring, and Star Wars is being reinvigorated by director JJ Abrams. Now, Disney has just started to turn its attention to reviving the Indiana

Jones franchise after buying the rights from Paramount in 2013. I’m cautioned that while things are very early, I hear the studio has set its sights on Chris Pratt as the swashbuckling archaeologist they hope to build the new franchise around, the role made famous by Harrison Ford in Raiders Of The Lost Ark. Pratt jumped to leading-man movie status with his performance in last year’s blockbuster Guardians Of The Galaxy for Marvel and Disney. He starts The Magnificent Sevenwith Denzel Washington and director Antoine Fuqua in April for MGM and Sony, and there’s the inevitable Guardians Of The Galaxy sequel. Disney won’t comment and all this is admittedly early, so let’s chalk it up as a dishy informed rumor for now and keep an eye on it.

So I'm not asking if anyone is for or against the reboot but since I think we all knew the franchise was going to continue, is Pratt the man to lead it? I'm down

Chris Pratt cannot lose brehs. I don't know what to think about this one though. Harrison the gawd can never be replaced. He owned Indie the way Sean Connery owned 007. And Pratt is too much of a comedic actor, but I guess thats the direction they wanna bring the character to. Can't hate though. If he does a good job in Jurassic World, this will be good for everyone. I just can't see him ever making a better Indie movie than any of the Harrison Ford ones. Including Crystal Skull.

Yeah I do think replacing Harrison is the toughest thing about it but I could see him being more of a rouge just like Harrison. But even Sean Connery was replaced breh

good casting. I was talking to a friend of mine the other night and suggested Pratt could do a decent job of Han Solo if they ever did a Han Solo movie in the new Disney run Star Wars universe.

I will piss on my hand and throw it

I know breh. And I know it's Disney. But just imagine if they made Indie a darker character the way they made Craig 007. With the right writers/director they could take the franchise to a whole new modern day level.

 

[Food Mane]

Yeah, I could see it. You aren't remembering them right if you think the original three were serious action movies.

 

[The Phoenix]

I like the pick. Pratt can be a goofball, but he's a talented dude from what I've seen. I feel like he'd do a good job in the role.

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

I think Pratt is a pretty good choice for this role

You're right but what are the odds Spielberg goes for that?

 

[Heelmatic]

LEGO Movie, Guardians, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones and been killing it on Parks & Rec for years....this dude seriously right now

 

[FlyRy]

[duncanthetall]

He's pretty much already playing Space Indy. fukk it

Basically

 

[J.Connor]

Not that this would be a bad choice or anything, and I think he could make it work, but if this is true, dude is gonna be the star in THREE blockbuster franchises. Not saying he shouldn't while the offers and money are good, but it seems like he could get kinda over saturated
