No no. I have it on good authority that Chris Pine CANNOT be Indiana Jones.

Nope, we won't see 90-year-old Ford starring on Indiana Jones 6.

 

Harrison Ford Is Done With Indiana Jones After ‘Dial Of Destiny’ & Reveals He “Will Not Be Involved” With TV Series

 

He can have his body and likeness scanned for future Deepfake movies with him, not a problem. 

He won't pass on the royalty checks.

[Luke Skywalker 1,795]

You can reboot mission: impossible

 

you shouldnt reboot indiana jones….

[Cerebral Cortex 3,357]

I see some people comparing Indy to Bond, but I really see the two as apples to oranges. Connery was replaced only a few years after Dr. No, and he even came back twice to the role. Ford has been known as the defining performance of Indy for 42 years now. It is not the same. Ford IS the character, just like Williams is the music for the series. You take those away and it's not the same.

 

Much like Stallone coming back over and over for Rocky, there is something special about getting to see a largely singular performance for a character being made by an actor at different points in their life. At this point, there aren't many large roles left like Indiana Jones in Hollywood that have gotten to be graced for decades with the same actor in the role.

 

Okay, yeah, sure, you had the Young Indy Chronicles, you had River Phoenix in Last Crusade. I get it. But if you ask someone on the street who Indiana Jones is, they without hesitation will say it is Harrison Ford. And I think it's a bit silly to argue that his performance hasn't been defining in the role when people are largely going to see these movies BECAUSE it's him playing the role.

 

Getting to see a hero age, getting to see him in different walks of life, getting to go through life alongside the character... it grounds him and humanizes him in a way; grants him a level of depth that isn't afforded in quite the same way as if they'd just recast him repeatedly with younger actors. Ford is Indy, and Mickey's money milking machine can continue to churn and pump out new Indy films with a different actor, but I personally view this as a rather unique franchise in Hollywood that would be cheapened by going down such a path.

[Jurassic Shark 12,076]

They should get Alec Baldwin to take over the role.

It’s fascinating how no one in my vicinity cares about this. Not even dad’s mentioned it.

Oh my, I hope a small group of people with the same experience don't start claiming Indiana Jones was never important.

‘Indiana Jones 5’ De-Ages Harrison Ford for a 25-Minute Scene, Director Says Ford Was ‘Agile’ Enough to ‘Pretend That He Was 35’ on Set

[Tom 4,658]

I think I am most looking forward to this throwback opening.  I hope Williams scores the hell out of it.

if i were the director pretending to be fourty-six would be good enough for me.

[Luke Skywalker 1,795]

I would say 40-45 because thats the age indy should be in WWII.

[Naïve Old Fart 9,528]

It's a shame they can't age KOTCS down to zero.

You see, on October 21 2015 I went to school in my worst McFly cosplay expecting at least a few people to remember what day it was... turns out no one even knew about BTTF... except my teacher, who I convinced to exhibit the movie. So I don't doubt there's a lot of people out there who don't even know Indiana Jones.

I wore two neckties on that day.  I was told, "Dude, you're supposed to be wearing your pockets inside-out."  I told him that's what the kids of 2015 do.

 

He liked my ties, though.

We better get the full track on the OST

[Jay 37,364]

Can you imagine if the Indy 5 OST album opens with a 20+ minute long track?

[Edmilson 7,448]

Actually, it's more likely that he will reduce the 20-minute setpiece to a 3-minute concert arrangement a la The Forest Battle.

[Naïve Old Fart 9,528]

That's an extra 17 minutes confirmed for the La La Land expansion 

[Not Mr. Big 4,639]

It's just a 25 minute loop of the title march tracked in from the Blu ray menu

Not that I expected Spielberg to say anything different, but for what it's worth:

 

Steven Spielberg Watched ‘Indiana Jones 5,’ Loved It and Told the Director: ‘Damn! I Thought I Only Knew How to Make One of These’

[Naïve Old Fart 9,528]

Exactly, @Romão.

He's hardly going to call The Mouse's new film "a load of shit", is he?

Take this with a very large pinch of salt.

 

What did Cameron say about GENISYS, and DARK FATE...?

Quote

“I just had that experience two nights ago,” Spielberg said at the Time 100 Summit when asked what it’s like watching an “Indiana Jones” movie he didn’t direct. “Bob Iger had a screening for a lot of the Disney executives, and I came to the screening along with the director James Mangold. Everybody loved the movie. It’s really, really a good ‘Indiana Jones’ film. I’m really proud of what Jim has done with it.”

He could be less enthusiastic since it wasn't a Disney interview, sounds like he really liked it.

 

 

[Brónach 1,302]

well on one hand there's some courtesy to be had between professionals (it's not even released!), on the other hand old people don't really care, so

[crocodile 8,012]

I am not really expecting much from the film. The trailers look fine but I also really liked the trailers for Crystal Skull so there's that. I am excited about John Williams' score though. It can even be the weakest score of the five and I will still probably like it. My only hope is that the film is a decent enough "accompaniment" to it. But it's not something I am terribly excited about. Hopefully, it's OK.

[Alex 2,835]

A weak 5th Indiana Jones will probably be better than any other film score released this year

[Jay 37,364]

Yes

[Edmilson 7,448]

Indeed (even though I'm also hoping for JNH's All the Light We Cannot See to be great).

And the silver lining is you can always put it in your top 5 Indy scores.

[Tom 4,658]

There would have to be a scene where a brief appearance even makes sense.  Unless the cameo was thought of early on, it just does not seem very likely.  Jamming him in there inorganically could come off as clumsy as Ted Danson in SPR.    

[Jurassic Shark 12,076]

Ted Danson in SPR.    

 

Can't remember that. 

[Naïve Old Fart 9,528]

He played Capt. Fred Hamill.

[Jay 37,364]

I thought he was fine in the film

[Tom Guernsey 2,284]

Not sure if it was for better or worse as a result, but The Thin Red Line featured an almost endless stream of cameos by famous stars which gets kinda strange after a while in an otherwise pretty serious movie.

Holy shit yes! It was literally just one scene after another with: "wait he's in this movie too?!?!". "Is that John Travolta?!?!"

[Tom 4,658]

Danson acted fine.  It was just hard to not see Sam Malone, particularly for as brief as the scene was.  

[Andy 4,127]

 

Who the hell is Sam Malone?

 

 

[A. A. Ron 1,742]

I don’t remember Danson in SPR at all.

Yet another Spielberg/Tim and Eric connection
