Why George Lucas?

Why didn't you use the Frank Darabont version of Indiana Jones 4? It had everything you could possibly hope for. Edge of your seat action, witty dialogue (Indy vs Marion), great twists and turns, memorable villains and above all, a race to find power. The characters have a lot more room to breathe in this script and Marion, god, Marion actually has something useful to do in this movie. She's not just a simple nod to the original Raiders of the Lost Ark, no she has a past, personality and a burning fire against Dr. Jones.

This script has all the major elements of the version you see in in KOTCS, just executed infinitely better. No Mutt, no Mac. This was a more personal journey for Indy. Oxley is still the crazy old man but luckily he's not in it for much, as it should. One of the biggest complaints I have against KOTCS was because they hired such an immense talent in John Hurt only to have him babble like a crazy old person, and he still seems to have more importance in the movie than Marion.

But C'mon Lucas, this was the version of Indy we wanted to see, the version we waited a good 20 YEARS for.

But alas, City of the Gods is only a movie I'll see in my dreams. My one wish to the stars...
