Because Indiana Jones has been away from our screens for so long, it’s only natural that young upstarts would try and take his place.
The latest in a long line of adventurers who think they’ve got what it takes the carry the bullwhip is Richard Feynman, a brilliant young physicist recruited by the US government to track down a mysterious object that falls from the sky and crashes into a remote mountain in 1940s Africa. He gets a little help from a sexy British lady spy and a cranky French pilot. But he’ll have to be swift – those dashed Nazis are after the object too…
That’s the concept for The Feynman Chronicles, a spec script by Ashley E Miller and Zack Stentz. The writing duo previously penned Agent Cody Banks 2 and worked on TV sci fi show Andromeda, which is not something anyone should really shout about. Still, Disney has snapped up their scribblings and will soon start looking for a director and cast.
