I approve. Mostly because I like the Mutt/Indy dynamic and this uses it properly.
The whole premise is giving me flashbacks of the Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.

Ahh... I see the connection.
In my idea, Shangra La would house "Incredible Wisdom and advanced knowledge." Only to discover that wisdom and advanced knowledge is well... already known. Its just the tenants of Tibetan Buddhism, and the big mystery is why can't we live by them? The moral of the story is a failure of society living up to its potential even when it knows the answer, and the Antagonist (A Chinese Historical Revisionist) wouldn't' get the message in time as he is torn apart by the "Anger and violence of society" in the from of the Snowmen.
Again, this is just a rough idea. Haven't worked out all the kinks yet.

Not bad. I've been thinking Indy and Mutt dealing with either Atlantis or else King Solomon's mines.

I had an idea as an exercise in writing. Have an idea running in my head for an Indiana Jones Script. Indiana Jones and the Claw of Shangri La As Indy tries to educate young Mutt, he becomes frustrated with his son's chosen field of study, Cryptozoology. It isn't a legitimate science and artifacts of that nature don't belong in a museum! However, after a hair raising sled dog chase in the Canadian Mountains, Mutt and Indy are confronted with bigfoot tracks. Indy disregards them as a hoax until Mutt shows him identical tracks found by a lost Mount Everest Expedition. If its a hoax, how can the same footprint be found on the other side of the world? Also, there is a Tibetan Monastery said to house a claw and a scalp of the famous Abominable snowman! Just as Indy is about to make a final objection, Indy is approached by the United Nations Heritage Council in order to in-list him in the help of evacuating a Tibetan monastery and its artifacts before the Communist Chinese arrive. To both prove Mutt wrong, and to help a Canadian Mounty find a lost brother, Indy, Mutt and a naive young Mounty travel to the tallest mountains in the world only to discover that the Chinese Communist Revolution might already have solved the mystery of the Claw of Shangra la. Communists, I hate these guys. Of course there would be set pieces, like the big dog sled chase, a heigh altitude mountain climbing fight, and Shangra La would be protected by a clan of Abominable Snowmen. Big effects would ensue at the end leading to Indy admitting that Mutt just might be right about these Cryptozoology stories, and it would end with Indy giving Mutt the hat as the next leader of the next franchise, as he chases down Cryptozoology leads, via 1950's 60's b-movies, like the Blob, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and Them. |
