Indy's been at Disney for a while, with the Indiana Jones Stunt spectacular opening at Disney World in 1989, and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye opening in 1995 at Disneyland. Re-boot away, but for heaven's sake, get rid of Mutt! He's the Jar-Jar Binks of the Indiana Jones series. Cast Jennifer Lawrence as Indy's daughter to carry the franchise forward, and I'm there with movie-price popcorn. And a bucket-sized coke!

This might have serious consequences for archaeology:

"Luke Skywalker. Princess Leia. Kermit the Frog. Miss Piggy. Spider-Man. The Incredible Hulk. Buzz Lightyear. And now, Indiana Jones.
"Together, they represent the defining characters and pop culture childhood memories of millions, if not billions. And in the past decade, they've all been snapped up by the Walt Disney Company.
"The whip-wielding archeologist became the latest addition to Disney's stable on Friday, when the company announced it had reached a marketing and distribution agreement with Paramount Pictures to acquire control of all future Indiana Jones films. (Paramount keeps the rights to the four existing Indy movies and "will receive a financial participation on any future films," the studios said)."
