Now look here, I enjoy both a good steak and a vist to the Shawarma shop, but that doesn't mean stuffing them both in the same dish makes for a better meal!

So Williams will be nominated for an Oscar in 2024, thinking about it.

 

For a score he’s about to start writing!

If nothing else it guarantees him at least two more Oscar nominations, in '23 and '24. He probably would've gotten only one nomination if both scores came out next year.

And he will be hoping to be back in Vienna and Berlin since these were only his debuts.

[Once 604]

Look at it this way; if he’s finished with Indy and Fablemans by this summer, then he will have plenty of time for a potential 2023 Spielberg film as well.

He possibly won't get a nod for Indy 5, anyway. They passed on Crystal Skull and also BFG, his most recent two summer releases and the only scores he had those years. 

[crumbs 14,300]

Might depend on how much critical acclaim the film receives. Neither Crystal Skull nor BFG set the world on fire.

Even though it's often joked about how old Ford is, it's kinda hard for me to wrap my head around that he's only 10 years younger than JW. He's gonna be 81 when this thing's released, JW will be 91. It's impressive but also undoubtedly kind of hilarious. 

 

As a mid-lifer myself, I lean more towards the impressive part.  I'm truly inspired by them both.

[Jurassic Shark 12,024]

They also complement each other wonderfully - JW's brain to HF's muscles.

[GerateWohl 4,326]

It makes me suspicious, that they publish so many pictures of Ford from the set, as if they want to disguise the fact that Ford will mostly be deepfaked in that movie, like they showed not much from the set of The Force Awakens but at least some pictures of Peter Mayhew in a Chewbacca costume even though they probably used him just in one or two aliby shots.

Never ceases to amaze me how people can wax lyrical about Williams scoring action films into his late 80s, yet mock Ford for playing this role in his 70s.

 

We should celebrate these people for dedicating their twilight years to work, when they could easily be enjoying retirement. The likes of Ford and Williams and Attenborough (who continues to narrate documentaries at 95!) should be applauded, not ridiculed.

That they're making an Indiana Jones movie at their age? How is that not funny? It's somehow even funnier knowing the odds are it'll probably be pretty good too.

From the bazillion filming leaks on the internet, the film looks as crowded with things happening as TROS. I expect the music to consist of short cues like in TROS, although hopefully at least in a Williams-chopped form, not editor-chopped.

 

This film will either be something of a repeat of the last Star Wars, or a borderline miraculous save by Mangold & Co.

 

One thing is sure though: there will be a lot of fun action music.

I agree with crumbs

But isn't that the whole spirit of this series? One could make the exact same observation about the opening 15 minutes of Temple of Doom, which launches from one absurd setpiece to another (with Williams' score being the connective tissue that holds everything together).

 

Abrams was misguided approaching a Star Wars film in this manner, much less for a closing chapter.

I wouldn't consider it miraculous if Mangold happened to make a great film here. He is leagues beyond JJ Abrams in terms of filmmaking ability.

 

Rewatching Logan tonight, the sheer confidence in his direction and storytelling is something to behold.

Not really, when many fans consider it the purest Indiana Jones film of the lot.

 

It's certainly the most enjoyable to watch, IMO.

And some rightfully know its better than any indy films that came after 1984.

 

The delay is curious and perhaps unnecessary but it's interesting to note that I was a 20 year old college student when Raiders of the Lost Ark Premiered and now I will be a 63 year old man looking at retirement for this upcoming sequel. Somewhere in between Indy films a lot of life has been well lived.

[Disco Stu 15,495]

My hot take: I enjoy watching all 4 Indiana Jones moving pictures.

Williams' spare time must all be taken up by new film scores!

Jesus! Of course, he should only do so if he feels physically up to it and is interested in the project, that’s a given. I only referred to the projects he can’t do due to schedules.

 

I don’t want Williams to work a second more than he wants to himself, but as he put it in 2018 when asked how it felt to have written music for films for 60 years; “It feels like a good start.”

[Naïve Old Fart 9,493]

Are we really creaming our jeans over a film that is almost two years from release? Sheesh.

[bollemanneke 3,337]

Relax, relax, I was joking.

I guess it hit me because I’m used to working with people his age and older - I didn’t want to come across as someone who overworked people and taking their health for granted or something, haha.

 

But there you go; humor. It is a difficult concept!

[Bellosh 3,383]

Mutt to Indy in KOTCS:  "What are you, like, 80?"

 

Ford when Indy V comes out:  "Yes"

[Jay 37,281]

Harrison Ford would have been 80 when Indiana Jones 5 opened whether it stayed in 2022 or moved to 2023 (he was born on July 13, 1942)

 

The character of Indiana Jones turns 80 on July 1 1979.  If the film is indeed set in August 1969, he'd be "only" 70.

 

 

[Bellosh 3,383]

not if Indy V was gonna release in June of next year

[Jay 37,281]

It was never going to release in June of 2022

 

It just moved from July 29 2022 to June 30 2023

Filming has apparently started in Morocco.

 

Quote

Filming commenced in the Mellah and Bab Semmarine districts in Fez, featuring the typical sets of the film about Hollywood's most famous archaeologist. In addition to filming scenes of the first day of “Indiana Jones 5” in Fez, shops in the Mellah were closed to make way for old cars and camels and to furnish the main street with decorations reflecting scenes from the sixties.

 

Filming for the latest opus in the iconic saga began in London on June 7 and will continue in Fez and Oujda. The filming in Morocco started on October 17 and will continue until the beginning of December 2021.

Walt Disney Studios confirmed to The Post on Thursday: "Our hearts go out to the family and friends of Nic Cupac [...] His sudden passing was not production related. Nic was a grip on 2nd unit." [...] he is thought to have died of natural causes.

It's also extremely irresponsible, particularly in light of the recent incident on Baldwin's film.

 

The film industry is finally having its very overdue reckoning with unsafe and unsustainable practices, but misleading headlines like this do nothing for the situation and will just exacerbate things.

Um, this is all media outlets and has been so for at least 10-15 years (well, maybe forever, but definitely the last 15 years).

That headline is a disgrace. As if we needed any more evidence of the gutter "journalism" that pervades Murdoch's empire of bullshit.

Yes I know. I'm simply voicing my opinion about it regarding this specific incident.

[WampaRat 1,105]

Short interview with Boyd Holbrook from Uproxx. Nothing super revealing. Cool to see they’re wrapping photography in about a week or so. Also this new Indiana Jones film will be “badass”

 

You’re in the new Indiana Jones movie. They’re being very secretive about it. But I have one Indiana Jones question. Are you going to bet $5 it makes more than Deadpool?

Um…

You don’t have to do it with me, anyone out there can take this bet.

No, listen. Listen. I don’t have it in for Ryan Reynolds…

You made it clear. You like that Deadpoola lot. It was a spirited competition. In fun, you wanted to beat it.

Yeah, exactly. It was a spirited competition. I think this Indiana Jones film is going to be kick-ass.

Oh, I can’t wait.

I can’t wait for it either. I’ve seen a lot of it.

Oh?

Yeah. I’ve been doing it for nine months. But yeah. It’s badass. I don’t think it’s any secret that Jim Mangold is directing it.

The Logan director himself.

Exactly. And he’s an amazing guy to work with.

It seems like a good choice for you to be in multiple movies of his.

Absolutely. Absolutely. Jim has a way to just draw an amazing performance out of every actor he works with, and I think he’s very suited for this one. Logan, and obviously Ford v Ferrari, all the action stuff. I think you’re going to see all that kind of bottlenecking for Indiana Jones. We’re on literally our last week, week and a half of filming.

Oh wow.

And so I’m just trying to enjoy the last bit of it.

So principal photography ran from June 4 2021 to February 27 2022.  That's a long time!

[mrbellamy 6,272]

There was at least one delay, though, right? Also wonder if maybe they paced things out slower for Ford, shorter days or something. 

 

Anyway glad it's officially done, cut it up and give it to Johnny pronto

[Jay 37,281]

Yes I believe if there had been no injuries they would have wrapped by December and the film would still be coming out this July

[WampaRat 1,105]

Man. I’m so glad it’s done! Are they doing pick-ups

/reshoots at all? Those tend to be normal occurrences on big films like this right?

 

Seeing an 80 year old Ford doing press for this movie next year will be interesting. He’s gonna have to field a lot of tactless interviewers asking him “ So what were you guys thinking with ‘Crystal Skull?’”
