Josh500 1,615 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 On March 15, 2016, Walt Disney Studios announced that the fifth film will be released on July 19, 2019, with Ford reprising his role, Spielberg directing, Koepp writing and Kennedy and Marshall acting as producers. George Lucas was initially not going to be involved with the film. However, during a press event for Disney's The BFG, Spielberg confirmed that Lucas will be returning as executive producer, stating "I would never make an Indiana Jones film without George Lucas. That'd be insane." Marshall has stated that the film would be a continuation of the events following Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. On June 9, 2016, Spielberg confirmed that John Williams will be returning to compose the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,637 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Sure, bring it on. Like Star Wars, the unimpeachable trilogy has been impeached by some bad work, so why not play around now that the pressure is off? bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Cerebral Cortex 3,357 Posted April 25, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2017 Indiana Jones is one of those franchises where, good or bad, I'll take as much as I can get as long as Ford, Spielberg, and Williams are collectively behind the wheel. Spielberg seems aware of how the audience generally felt about KOTCS and has been humbled a bit with recent films like The BFG. For the first time in a long time, Spielberg has something to prove, and that alone is reason for some excitement.

First of all, Ford is in better shape now than most 30-40-year-olds (certainly better than me). Second, even if he weren't, you can do a number of things with CGI to make older people be more flexible. Superhero flexible would be bad, of course, but still flexible to work within this particular universe. Another alternative is, as Alex says, to have the character be more of a mentor or participator without all the physical stunts. In this scenario, someone younger could do the 'stunts' or the story could be less focussed on the physical, like a number of the YOUNG INDY episodes. Etcetera, etcetera. I doubt we'll see another 5 INDY films with Ford, but a couple more is easily feasible before they reboot it or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Option one just plain sucks. Option two was already done in KotCS. They're better off starting from scratch and hiring a new actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be game for that too, but only when Ford has run his course, AND the new actor is portraying a different character within the same universe. Or another "Young Indy" actor/film/TV series. I'm a sucker for continuity that way. But I realize that at some point, they will inevitably reboot the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on board with another actor playing a younger Indy, but keep it in the same universe. Lots of territory to mine in the inter-war years. No, I don't mean a very young Indy being tutored by Gandhi or fighting with Pancho Villa or any such nonsense. But maybe 10 year priors to Raiders younger.

Quintus 5,399 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I've thought that. Make it like The Shootist, it probably work if done well. But that's also fundamentally changing what Indiana Jones is: an action hero. It'd be an entirely different beast to what came before in the trilogy, but not in a way which would feel new, fresh and necessary. It'd be retiring and probably poignant, which isn't how I would personally like to remember the character. Indiana Jones was never a character drama; it was a rollicking adventure! He rode off into the sunset to fight another day! That's what makes the character immortal. It'd be depressing to see him lean back into his rocking chair and reminisce about the good old days, about that one last job he did. Ugh, no thanks.
