T. just read the alternate "Indy" Script!

So an alternate Indiana Jones script leaked online. Why do so many things leak on the internet? The internet should have more respect for itself. Don’t go around letting people leak things on you. Shape up, internet!

Anyway, the script. I like the writer of it Frank Darabont. He once pitched an episode of my old show “T. And T”. It was thoughtful and deep, without losing the realistic courtroom drama of the series. T respects his talent.

In 2003, he wrote a draft for the new “Indiana Jones” movie. And compared to “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”, it’s pretty good. There’s a few changes from the movie, so if you can’t stand spoilers, you’re in for some pain.

1. No kids. Ain’t no Mutt in this script. Indy’s dad is in it but no kids. That means Indy has to work things out for himself. Use his brains, not his friends. Stand up and be a man. That’s a good Indy message for the kids. The ones who ain’t in this script. 

2. Marion acts like Marion. I’m actually upset about this one. In the movie, Marion’s a momma, and T knows you gotta treat a momma right. But in the original script, she’s still drinkin’ and cussin’ like she used to do. It takes T right back to the 80’s. I felt like George Peppard was with T again.

3. Crazy ass plane chase. Indy jumps from a plane onto another plane! That’s crazy. You can’t tell me the audience don't wanna see a good ol’ fashioned plane jumpin. T still hopes this is included on the DVD.

4. Drunk Indy. When Indy loses his job, he goes for the bottle. When T. loses a job, he goes for bench presses. Indy, you got people who love you. Don’t push them away with a glass in yo hand. But Indy learns his lesson in the end. And that’s one to grow on.

Now Mr. Speilberg loved this script. And so did Harrison Ford. But George Lucas said no. He wanted a movie with gophers and Shia Le Beouf. That’s not what Indiana Jones is about, fool. Don’t give me that jibba-jabba about “this movie is for kids”. You gotta respect your creations, Mr. Lucas. Cause when you don’t, it makes me mad.
