My story focuses on Indiana Jones' great-grandson, who becomes a new hero for a new generation. I have an entire series with ideas for multiple seasons. So far, everyone has told me to just create my own IP and remove references to the Indiana Jones world. But I really care about this story as is, and I would like to pursue every possible avenue to present it to Lucasfilm, Kathleen Kennedy, or whomever else needs to sign off. Can anyone offer help?

just check out who is available on the site for script consults that may have connections and if satisfied with your work.. might put your script forwards to the right people.

you don't. thats not how that works. start writing your next thing. don't base it on billion dollar IP owned by the studios.

Yes, that's the hardest part - finding a way to send your script to the right people.

Garrett Jones Hi Garrett. Danny's right. The chances of getting your script in front of the right people let alone having them even consider it is so small it's not worth your time and effort. If they wish to develop a spin-off from their own IP, then they will hire established, repped writers to do so. I'm afraid that's how the industry works, whether you like it or not. Feel free to PM me if you wish to talk further.

Thank you, guys...I figured "one in a million" would be the likely reality..."so, you're telling me there's a chance!"

As someone who watched all 28 episodes of the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, I would personally love to see an Indiana Jones series.

Phil Clarke It seems like only yesterday that you were just saying the same thing to me about James Bond. LOL

Tony Ray Ah yes! At least you know you're not alone when it comes to having these IP-related tough-ask targets. Seeing as so much of what gets produced appears to be from existing IP, it makes sense for new writers to think their best bet is to write a script based on an extant franchise, however what many don't realise is how unlikely it is to get such a project picked up. It's hard enough as it is to get into this industry, don't make it even harder on yourselves.
