Steven Spielberg Wants to Direct Chris Pratt in INDIANA JONES Reboot
Last month, news spread like wildfire that Disney wanted Chris Pratt to take on the role of Indiana Jones in a planned reboot they are looking to develop. Things just got a little more interesting with the project, as Deadline is now reporting that Steven Spielberg hopes to direct Pratt in the movie, "assuming a script comes in to his satisfaction."
First of all, if Spielberg was good to direct Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull with that awful script, I'm sure that any script which is turned in will be to "his satisfaction."
It's too early in the process for anything to be locked in stone at this point, mostly because there's no script yet. It makes sense that though that Spielberg would want to work with Pratt on the movie. After all, the director and producer hand-picked the Guardians of the Galaxy actor to star of Jurassic World,
A lot of fans seem to be open to the idea of Pratt taking over the role of Indiana Jones. I think if anyone could do it successfully, it's him, which is really weird. Who would have thought that the out of shape, goofy guy from Parks and Rec would become one of Hollywoods biggest adventure stars?
I'm curious to see what Disney and Spielberg are looking to do with this film, especially now that George Lucas won't be involved.
