1) The winner of the last round becomes the moderator of the round, and thus gets to choose the property or story in question to be adapted. The new round is now to be any adaption from any medium. Comics, books, remakes, video games, etc.
2)They must name core characters to be cast, which should be no less than four, but no more than 9. It is up to the moderator if they should include optional castings. YOU MUST CAST THE CORE CHARACTERS CHOSEN OR YOUR ENTRY WILL NOT BE VALID. There can be an acceptation to the rule if the moderator allows certain characters to be switched. Say for example the round is Teen Titans. The classic Titans are chosen to be cast, but someone wants to cast the current Titans. It is up to the moderator to decide.
3) You may not use actors who have played the role before in the same medium before. Voice talents may not reprise their role, nor can film ones.
4) After the set amount of days, the round is declared closed. People will vote via PM and send it to the moderator, who will count the votes and declare winner. Like the Ultimatization Game, you CANNOT vote for yourself.
5) The winner declared gets to choose the property in the next round.
Righty-kokey, my friends. I, like much of you, was not happy with the latest installment of Dr Jones' series; INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL DISAPPOINTMENT. So here's what you gotta do:
Remake Indiana Jones.
Treat this like I did for my entry in the "Spielberg/Lucas pitch" dreamcasting round: Indiana Jones and the Resurrection of Babel
Now, here's what I did - I treated it like CASINO ROYALE. It was like when they redo Bond. All the actors change, but essentially, this movie could (if they were the right age) be done as just the next film with the same cast. There is nothing inherently special about CASINO ROYALE that means Sean Connery couldn't play the role if he was young enough.
So - it's 1930s and Doctor Jones has to save the world again.
Basically, you MUST do the following:
Title - Indiana Jones and the "TITLE" You gotsta pick one. Make it evocative and super cool.
Indiana Jones - You have to cast this guy. And no, you can't pick Nathan Fillion.
Now, here's where it's up to you. You don't need a full cohesive plot, just the title is all the premise you need, but every Jones film has these core characters and I want you to fill them out as appropriately as your film needs:
The Girl - Marion, Willie, Elsa Schneider - my one was "Diaspora Song". This is the love interest. Marion was dark and reckless and cause problems by being headstrong and stubborn, Willie was a glamour girl who caused problems by being completely useless, and Elsa was an undercover Nazi spy.
The Villain - This is the big bad of the movie. Belloq in RAIDERS, Mola Ram in TEMPLE, Donovan in CRUSADE, and Irina Spalko in SKULL. My choice was for "Alexander Midas". Feel free to cast his subordinates if you wish; characters like the Gestapo guy in RAIDERS or Mac in SKULL. For example, I made two: Balthazar Untergehen and Ulysses Cliffhanger. You only have to cast one villain, but you're more than welcome to cast more.
The Sidekick - This is Indy's best friend; Sallah, Shortround, Henry Jones Sr, and Mutt. I decided to recast Johnny Depp as Sallah.
The point is - you can recast anyone you want or create new characters. The only thing is - you gotta create a villain because they're ALL dead. Can't reuse them.
So to summarize:
Title
Indiana Jones
The Girl
The Villain
The Sidekick
So it's light on the number of things to do, but those things are more creatively intense than usual.
