According to a story on Deadline, Steven Spielberg is reportedly interested in directing a reboot of Indiana Jones starring Chris Pratt, assuming the right script comes with it. There are no further details and no potential storylines cited, but the news does follow last month's word that Disney was interested in Pratt replacing Harrison Ford in what would amount to a franchise restart, giving Pratt the lead in not one (Guardians of the Galaxy), not two (Jurassic World), but three (Indiana Jones) prominent new franchises.
Additionally, there's no word on whether Harrison Ford would be involved in any Indiana Jones reboot. Could he play Jones' dad? Could they reconfigure the story so that it ignores the original four movies, with Ford essentially playing the same character Sean Connery played in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade?
Lots of questions still need to be answered, but what this news does tell us is that Disney is antsy to reboot Indiana Jones, and that Steven Spielberg will most likely be involved with that reboot when (and if) it happens.
