OMG, how hard can it be to write?! Its Indiana Jones, not All the Presidents Men!
Here, let me try...
Indiana is enjoying retirement and married life to Marion, when a former student knocks on the door. The student, lets call him Jack, tells him he's going to wherever the fuck to find the fabled whatever the fuck, and that he'd like his help. Indiana, having never found this particular whatever the fuck, agrees to come along. One last hurrah for the old man.
At wherever the fuck a band of mercenaries (no Nazis or Russians this time) are also on the trail of whatever the fuck. Many cliffhangers transpire and hilarity ensues with vehicles, animals, insects, and disgusting foods, where Jack, poor guy, does most of the heavy lifting. Indiana does some, but he's getting too old for this shit, so its a good thing Jack is a fit younger guy.
The mercenaries capture Jack and Indiana just as they find whatever the fuck. Whatever the fuck gets opened, there's a huge SFX climax where the mercenaries are killed, and whatever the fuck is lost under an avalanche. Jack and Indiana get away to live another day.
It's not the story, its how you shoot the thing! The most exciting action sequences ever shot often times only ever read "action scene" in the script. And Indiana is about the action scenes. Nothing else.
In LOTR Fellowship, one of the great action sequences is the bridge of Kazzad Dum. It lasts a good ten minutes or so. Peter Jackson has famously said about that sequence that it only ever read "they cross the bridge of Kazzad Dum" in the script.
So whats the hubbub?
With this sort of movie It's not the script, its how you shoot it.

So what the hubbub? Not to sound cynical but it's possible they're waiting for Harrison Ford to keel over so they can reboot it entirely.

For once, they should just ask Harrison Ford what he wants to see/do for the next Indiana Jones movie, and just write and make that.
Imagine that, an Indiana Jones movie that Indiana Jones want to make and watch.

I remember those!
I tell people about them and they don't believe me!
Wow, I didn't realize R.L. Stine wrote some of them!
Then again, I didn't know who R.L. Stine was back then -- he definitely wasn't a "name" back then.

Rob MacGregor and Max McCoy wrote some interesting stuff in the 90s. If itโs indeed filmed, the story should take place around 1969, 1970. Groovy.

I remember the Indiana Jones ones as Choose Your Own Adventure, and as that previous post shows, they were published in the mid-1980s, around the time of the release of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Works for me.
Should've been the same for Star Trek (I'm looking at you, Abramsverse) and should be the same for The X-Files and other similar franchises.
Franchise recasting only works with characters that existed in public before they were portrayed onscreen, i.e. superheroes, James Bond, etc.

Will Harrison Ford even be able to walk by production time?
And btw, when he retires...absolutely no way in a billion dollars should they replace/remake/do anything to get a new actor playing Indy. You can say that many roles an actor has made them so iconic, but this is beyond that, it would be the most unthinkable sacrilege in the history of cinema to put a new actor in Indy's shoes. I wouldn't watch that if they gave me a house and a car.

I wouldn't watch that if they gave me a house and a car. I hate to break it to you, but Harrison Ford can barely walk now. Have you seen him on talk shows? He really walks and moves like an old man. I think they've been using CGI to make him mobile in movies for the last 17 years. I also hate to break it you that three actors have already played Indy besides Harrison Ford -- River Phoenix, Sean Patrick Flannery, and the doddering old geezer who played the 90-something doddering old geezer Indy in The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (and was since edited out by George Lucas in the home video release of the series). I would take the house and the car, IF they paid the mortgage/down payment and monthly payments on both, OR paid for them both outright.
