: I don't think that got that much to do with it. Just because Stoppard hasn't been pegged as a writer in the action adventure ('Enigma' is coming out - supposedly it's got action and and a story, just like the vastly underrated 'Empire of the Sun') genre doesn't mean he can't do it. Good writing is good writing, no matter what; writers are creative (at least the good ones are).

I'm not saying he can't do it or that he won't be great. I just can't read the 'tea leaves.' With the complete lack of actual information, I'm prone to analyze every little scrap of info. I enjoyed Shakespeare in Love and Brazil, but in this case it looks like "past performance is not an indicator of future performance." The aspects of those movies that I enjoyed don't have anything to do with the appeal of Indy movies.
