Indiana Jones, and the Search for the Lost Lamanite DNA.

I picture it starting with Indiana Jones breaking into the secret Church Vaults, to retrieve the Sword of Laban. There he discovers his old enemies, and former LDS allies, the Nazis, protecting the sacred relic. He escapes with the sword, after an amazing chase through the vaults and secret tunnels.

Then it is off to the Hill Cummorah, where he uses the sword to open the secret cave, and retrieve the Gold Plates. He opens the sealed portion, reading the reformed Egyptian, and travels to the ancient land of Zarahemla, deep in the South American jungles, all the while pursued by Nazis and their church allies. Any other ideas to flesh out this script?

But at first he doesn't know where the sword is, so he goes through the tunnels under the Vatican part of SLC. One tunnel goes over to the library and Museum, and then he has to go underground to break into the church phallic symbol. There he has to outwit the security system to get into the files, and there he finds out that the sword is up Cottonwood Canyon.

Want. more.details.
This is great!!
Please continue!! I love historical fiction, as evidenced by my 40 year membership in the church!!
Love, love, love your idea!!

Indiana Jones breaks in to the 1st Presidency vault an steals the peepstone to find the Golden Plates.

And then he finds out it really was an ancient alien artifact to manipulate people.

Cool

Of course, the peep stone, how could I forget. Obviously, he will need the peep stone, the gold plates, and the sword of Laban in order to find the DNA. Luckily, he already has a hat that he can stick his head into.

How many people upon reading this thread turned the channel to SciFi?

Please get Danny DeVito in this one.

Customs officer: "Do you have anything to declare, Senior?

DiVito character: "Yes. These third world s***holes sure are hot."

ok, hear me out.
I'm thinking bill nighy for god the father.
( don't ask me why, I just dig him ,okay)?
For Jesus, even the Christ, I'm thinking the British actor who played captain norrington on pirates of the carribean. awesome. enough said :)
somehow British accents sound more godlike to me.

Think liam neeson(m)?..
technically Irish, you get the drift...
but I digress.

and yes, I am fully aware my spelling is atrocious.
I'm on my phone.

Casting for joseph smith?

I'm thinking Nicholas cage.
Perhaps I saw national treasure too many times...

Anyway, with wigs and makeup... this could work, right?
Hmmm, maybe I should give this some more thought....

Of course there will have to be a jungle scene, with hundreds of angry natives riding on the backs of Tapirs, chasing Indiana Jones, as they all dodge through the trees.

Yes! And lots of poison blow darts, wagon wheels, horses, and requisite blood baths.
Can there be a huge scene shot at moqui caves near kanab? Or bryce canyon?
Monument valley would be good too.
For the aerial shots.

Any ideas for side stories woven into the script?

Usualy Indiana has only one woman per story, will he have many women for this one?
