Apparently Steven Spielberg Hopes To Direct The INDIANA JONES Reboot With Chris Pratt
Though they caution that it's very early days Deadline reckon that, depending on the script, Steven Spielberg might just return to direct the new Indiana Jones movie with Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt in the title role. Click on for more...
This might be a bit of a shaky one given the details (or lack thereof), but even the prospect of Steven Spielberg directing another Indiana Jones movie is a very exciting one indeed. Back in January we reported on the rumor that Disney wanted GOTG's Chris Pratt to take over from Harrison Ford as the intrepid archaeologist in their planned reboot, and now Deadline reckon the man who brought us the previous four entries in the series might just return to helm it -- providing the as yet unwritten script meets his approval.
Spielberg has a lot on his plate at the moment (word is he's going to attempt to squeeze in an adaptation of Thank You For Your Service before tackling Roald Dahl's The BFG) so we'll have to wait and see how this pans out. It's true that the last movie (The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) is generally regarded as being... well, crap, but with some new blood and a good story maybe Spielberg will be able to recapture some of that old Indy magic.
