Indiana Jones 5 Announced For 2019

[The Deadman]

http://411mania.com/movies/indiana-jones-5-announced-for-2019/

– Walt Disney Studios announced today that Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford will reunite for Indiana Jones 5. Indiana Jones 5 is currently scheduled for a July 19th, 2019 release date, and Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall will produce the film. Alan Horn, Chairman of The Walt Disney Studios, had the following to say about the announcement…

“Indiana Jones is one of the greatest heroes in cinematic history, and we can’t wait to bring him back to the screen in 2019. It’s rare to have such a perfect combination of director, producers, actor and role, and we couldn’t be more excited to embark on this adventure with Harrison and Steven.”

The Indian Jones franchise (Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) has made $1.98 billion at the worldwide box-office.

[Candy Kappa]

That's interesting.

[plastroncafe]

Hasn't this series already nuked the fridge?

[TurtleTitan97]

Just please don't have Shia anywhere near this film.

[Amaranthus]

I hope Kylo Ren stabs Indiana.

[Candy Kappa]

Y'know. With current method actor Shia, I'm sure they can elevate the franchise to new heights then just nuking a fridge. There could be some jumping sharks and fried Coke involved.

There is only one appropriate response to that...

"JUST DO IT!"

[TigerClaw]

I wonder when the 5th movie will take place, the last one was in the 50s, you think it's possible they will set it during the 60s?

[CyberCubed]

Will Harrison Ford even be alive by then or healthy enough to act? The guy is going to be 75 by then.

[NinjaPug]

They need to do the story structure similar to Godfather II and then you could essentially reboot the franchise after this one with the actor used for the flashbacks.

[CyberCubed]

They could use the young actor they cast for the Han Solo reboot in an Indiana Jones reboot too. Man no wonder they're doing it, they'll get two for the price of one. A double-whammy, if you will.

[TigerClaw]

They need to do the story structure similar to Godfather II and then you could essentially reboot the franchise after this one with the actor used for the flashbacks.
They did something like that once, an episode of the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles had Harrison Ford playing Indiana Jones in 1950 Wyoming, and he was telling a story that flash back to his younger days.

It was this episode.

Same age as Old Indy

[TonySiegel]

keep jj abrams away from this... he'll recreate the temple of doom or something... or make an even bigger rolling ball going after indy... jokes jokes :lol:

[Powder]

I liked the last one a lot at the time so I'm all for it.

[TigerClaw]

I wonder what the McGuffin in Indy 5 is going to be.

[raph27]

Please don't screw this up please don't screw this up pleeeeease don't screw this up

Excited that it's a sequel and not a reboot. I wonder if the rumors about Chris Pratt being in it will turn out to be true.

[CyberCubed]

I don't know how they expect Harrisson Ford to do stunts in this movie. They'll cause his early death for real if they want him to swing on vines across a spiked pit.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I don't know how they expect Harrisson Ford to do stunts in this movie. They'll cause his early death for real if they want him to swing on vines across a spiked pit.

He actually almost died on TFA set. Some heavy door was about to fall on him; he dodged out of the way and his foot was broken. Probably would have crushed him if he hadn't moved quick enough.

[TigerClaw]

They will have stunt doubles doing most of the Indy stunts.

They can do face replacement on stunt doubles, and digitally add Harrison Ford's face on them.

[CyberCubed]

So we're going to see a 75 year old man jump across death traps and run from tribal villagers throwing blades at him?

There's a reason why his scenes in Episode 7 barely had any movement, they knew to keep him out of the action scenes. And this movie will be 2-3 years later on top of that.

I bet someone did not think this through.

[ranger_scout]

As long as Spielberg will try his best to return this franchise to its former glory, then I will be optimistic about this. I do believe that if J.J. Abrams could do it with Star Wars: The Force Awakens could do it, then maybe Spielberg can do the same with this film can well.

I remember eight years ago when Robert Iger, the CEO of Disney, was disappointed that The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian was underperforming at the box office. He contributed that film's disappointing total to being sandwiched between Iron Man and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

http://www.reuters.com/article/film-narnia-dc-idUSN2935410820080529

Today he's obviously feeling happy because both of those franchises belong to his company.

[sdp]

Well we had heard about this for a long time but its nice to finally see it confirmed. I'm in the minority but I thought Crystal Skull was fine. Not as good as the first or third film but about the same as Temple of Doom. I liked Mutt and it made sense to pass the torch. Do we really want Harrison Ford in this movie, what will he be doing? he's too old. Having him in a supporting cast with a younger "Indiana" would've worked, too bad fans didn't allow that to happen.

They need to do the story structure similar to Godfather II and then you could essentially reboot the franchise after this one with the actor used for the flashbacks.

I'd be ok with this, that could definitely work.

They did something like that once, an episode of the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles had Harrison Ford playing Indiana Jones in 1950 Wyoming, and he was telling a story that flash back to his younger days.

It was this episode.

fePvGEqkI7Y
Didn't know about that. So how are the YIJC? I had only heard bad things about it so I never checked it out but now my curiosity is peaked.

[Andrew NDB]

So we're going to see a 75 year old man jump across death traps and run from tribal villagers throwing blades at him?

Probably not, and probably a minimal use of CGI. This will be "Indy 5: The Apology." And I think it's great. I just hope they don't veer too far into "The Force Awakens" greatest hits territory.

[AT-Man]

Indy vs neo-nazis for a BIGGER Arc of Covenant!

[The Deadman]

Who said anything about him doing his own stunts? Have you ever heard of something called a stunt double?

[ProactiveMan]

I wonder when the 5th movie will take place, the last one was in the 50s, you think it's possible they will set it during the 60s?

I speculated as much when Crystal Skull came out, but he aged better than I gave him credit for...

http://i.imgur.com/piEEXJQ.jpg

I was pissed at the time because they didn't use my idea for the fourth movie...
http://i.imgur.com/gWi2cPP.jpg

Cyndi Lauper + Burt Reynolds = surefire hit!

[TigerClaw]

Indy 4 took place in 1957, so they could have it take place 5 years later in 1962.

Indy 4 was during the cold war, perhaps Indy 5 can be during the Vietnam war?

[turtlefanforever]

You really can't blame Shia for the last movie being bad. He got hired to play the role and he played it. Hate on the writers, producers, ect.

He's acting ability is undeniably excellent. Holes, Disturbia, Charlie Countryman, Lawless, ect.

He got two teeth taken out and cut himself and repeatedly opened the wounds for filming to make 'Fury' more realistic. Dropped acid and filmed himself acting on it to make his 'Charlie Countryman' charater more realistic. You don't find that dedication often. And he thrusts himself into every role that he plays. No matter what role he plays you can't blame him personally for a movie being bad.

[ProactiveMan]

I agree; you can't blame him for the movie - He was getting the big Hollywood push at the time, and I think people were suffering from LaBeouf fatigue. There was a general fear that he may be Indy's replacement, and it felt to some that he was being promoted to the big leagues without paying his dues so to speak... and then he lost his mind and started crapping on the film publicly, which was a bad move professionally, and left him looking like a jerk in the eyes of the public.

For the record, I kind'a like Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I don't think it's as big of a travesty as people make out. I feel like Crystal Skull is to Raiders of the Lost Ark what Escape from LA is to Escape from New York, and not like The Phantom Menace v Star Wars.

[plastroncafe]

I don't really blame anyone for "Crystal Skull." They tried something new with a fan favorite character and it didn't work. It's not even a terrible movie, it just doesn't measure up well when compared to the previous movies.

Maybe this one will?

[CyberCubed]

I just want to know can you really survive a nuclear blast by climbing into a refrigerator and shutting the door?

[Commenter 42]

Let's try it?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[ProactiveMan]

Possibly not. I don't think many people would survive being dragged under a truck either.

[plastroncafe]

Or falling out of an airplane and landing on a mountain side in an inflatable raft.
Or having their still beating heart ripped out of their chest while they watch and...survive.

The list goes on.

[ranger_scout]

Uh oh! This isn't good! :eek:

David Koepp has signed on to write the script for Indiana Jones 5. Koepp is a longtime collaborator of director Steven Spielberg’s, having written Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

I liked The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

I think he will do fine since George Lucas isn't involved, remember, it was George Lucas that wanted an alien in the first place.

[CyberCubed]

Oh no! Say it ain't so! Whatever will we do?

[snake]

I hope it's atlantis. I kinda hope for Mutt too, I didn't mind him.

[CyberCubed]

What kind of name is, "Mutt" anyway? Sounds like a name for a dog or a derogatory insult used for some racial minority in movies and TV shows. The hell were they thinking with that name?

[AT-Man]

This one was clearly magic. The airplane or falling down three waterfalls were not.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[CyberCubed]

You know its such a shame Jurassic World was so terrible. I was so oddly hyped for it because after Jurassic 3 I thought they couldn't do any worse.

Then they somehow did a million times worse. And Terminator 5 sucked too. It was so sad, so very sad.

[Commenter 42]

Terminator 5 was bad, but no worse than the other sequels. Jurassic World tho - yeah - a huge bag of bungholes.

Cubed, you need to watch Daredevil. Get on it man.

[plastroncafe]

This one was clearly magic. The airplane or falling down three waterfalls were not.

But if we're in a world where magic exists, then the airplane and falling and refrigerator are all way easier to believe.

[ranger_scout]

The more I watch the former, the worse it gets.

I finally watched Jurassic World like a month ago. Not terrible, but not a great deal new about it either. Weird that the director was worried that involving any of the JP1-3 cast might seem nonsensical vs. how any insurance company on Earth would insure Jurassic World after what happened to Jurassic Park.

Terminator 5 is a pretty horrid way to try and start anew. And what do they do after the ill-received PG-13 Terminator 4? Follow it up with a PG-13 Terminator 5. And you aren't really paying homage or respect to Terminator 1 and 2 by wiping them out and replacing their events with kiddy-coated rubbish and the crappiest possible recasting ever of Kyle Reese.

[The Deadman]

Uh oh! This isn't good! :eek:



http://comicbook.com/2016/03/18/indiana-jones-5-brings-back-kingdom-of-the-crystal-skull-writer/

The Lost World wasnt bad.

[sdp]

I enjoyed Jurassic World a lot except for the T-Rex vs Indominus superhero like ending to the movie. It didn't do a lot of new but it gave me exactly what I wanted: A movie where the park was open and a return to Jurassic Park. It's not any worse than the other sequels and its a decent entry. Now if Jurassic World 2 is about a dinosaur War, while cool isn't Jurassic Park so I hope they don't go that route for the sequel. The concept itself of Jurassic Park doesn't really lend itself to sequels which is why no JP movie will ever be able to top the original unless they remake it and make it closer to the book.

Indiana Jones is definitely a series that could work with sequels with each one just involving a new "item". Its difficult to top the previous film each time since how many items can be as sought after as the Holy Grail but if they kept it like James Bond it would work. Of course that would mean a new younger Indiana Jones.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I actually really liked Jurassic World. I liked the characters, the music, the cinematography... the only thing that irked me was how D'Onofrio's character didn't fit in to the plot organically, but it wasn't a big deal.

[CyberCubed]

The main characters were the worst part of Jurrassic World. The male and female lead had no personality outside of stock characters, the kids were awful, the white texan who wanted to use the raptors as soldiers was so cliche and idiotic, and then there was the babysitter who got a cruel death for no reason?

The only guy I liked was the Indian man who was the park owner and he died in a helicopter crash.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I honestly can't remember a single character's name from Jurassic World. I only know them by their real names. "Look, there's Chris Pratt! There's Ty Simpkins! There's Bryce Dallas Howard! There's Omar Sy!"

I'm kind of surprised they let Omar live.

[CyberCubed]

I can't remember their names either. I just call them by what they are:

- Stock male white hero
- Stock lead female character love interest
- Annoying kid characters
- Rich white Texan who wants to use dinosaurs as weapons and is an idiot
- Babysitter who dies for no reason
- Indian man

Works for any movie out there.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

It's actually a bit of a shame that Michael Crichton's thought-provoking, well-written, genuinely interesting novel led to the polar opposite that is Jurassic World.

But I still enjoy the film.

[THGhost]

Can't they just cast Chris Pratt for the reboot already?

[ProactiveMan]

I watched Crystal Skull on the weekend out of spite ;). It's better than I remember.

[THGhost]

There's a decent film in there somewhere. Somewhere.

[CyberCubed]

All these sequels/reboots of classic movies from the 80's and 90's is a mistake. Everytime they try to bring an old franchise back they fail spectacularly.

[ProactiveMan]

That use of apostrophes is a mistake. :P

If it weren’t for remakes and sequels, they’d be making rip-offs. I’m OK either way.

[CyberCubed]

I think the only successful reboot in recent memory is the new Planet of the Apes movies, which is surprising because the other one they made back in 2000 or so sucked too.

Besides Star Wars Episode 7, but that had to be a success given the prequels.

[Sumac]

Crystal Skull was...average, I guess.
It was worse, than previous three movies, but not exactly a horrible monstrosity.

Also, never understood major hatred that some people had for this movie because of aliens. So, magic and immortal knights and A-OK, but aliens are NO-NO, in the Jones'verse? Like, really?

P.S.
I liked Terminator 5. It was fun action movie, as brainless as they come, but it was more entertaining that T3 and especially, T4.

[THGhost]

That use of apostrophes is a mistake. :P

How so? :P

So did I. So much better than 3&4. I'm actually disappointed that the sequel was put on hold. I wanna see what Arnie does with his T-1000 liquid metal upgrade.

[sdp]

You have a point, we've seen dozens and dozens of reboots over the last 15 years but only a few have been successful. You're missing many other successful ones like Jurassic World, Mad Max among others but I do think they're the minority. Crystal Skull could be counted a successful since it did well at the Box Office and most of the criticism was only on the internet.

[THGhost]

Dredd is another prime example of a reboot in recent memory done right, even if it did fail to spawn a franchise. That wasn't the movie's fault though.

[ProactiveMan]

How so? :P[/SPOILER]

I'd have written 80s and 90s. There's some debate about this I understand, but when you're talking about dates you don't need an apostrophe.:P8)

[CyberCubed]

What about the Star Trek reboot? It was loved by critics, but hardcore Star Trek fans dislike it because of how much it altered the franchise.

[THGhost]

Never seen them. In fact I have never seen a single episode of Star Trek or any of the films.

Steven Spielberg Promises One Big Thing for Indiana Jones 5 (http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/695763-steven-spielberg-promises-one-big-thing-for-indiana-jones-5#/slide/1)

With the 73-year-old Harrison Ford signed up for Lucasfilm‘s Indiana Jones 5, many fans are wondering/worried that director Steven Spielberg plans to have the same fate of Han Solo in The Force Awakens befall our favorite globe-trotting archaeologist. Well worry no longer, as the legendary filmmaker has told The Hollywood Reporter that he is not only “super excited” about the fifth installment but that adventure will still have a name at the end of the movie and that name will be Indiana Jones!

“I think this one is straight down the pike for the fans,” said Spielberg, who would not reveal plot details, with one exception: “The one thing I will tell you is I’m not killing off Harrison [Ford] at the end of it.”

That’s great news for fans who would likely balk at such an idea, the same way they would be furious if James Bond accidentally slipped in the shower and cracked his skull at the end of a (hypothetical) final 007 movie. Even if this turns out to be the last time Ford puts on the bullwhip and fedora, it doesn’t mean the filmmakers have to have the death-defying character bite the dust.

“The opportunity to work with Steven again on this character which has brought pleasure to so many… Not to mention me,” Harrison Ford said previously. “It’s fun, it’s great fun to play this character. It’s great fun to work with Steven, I’m looking forward to it.”

Franchise veterans Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall will produce Indiana Jones 5, which will see both Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg return to the franchise. John Williams is expected to once again provide the music, while screenwriter David Koepp (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Jurassic Park) is signed to pen the script.

The movie is set for a July 19, 2019 release date.

[CyberCubed]

Harrison Ford will be 76 by the time this movie comes out. Goddamn.

[ranger_scout]

Not at all. T3 was easily head and shoulders above T4 and T5, some jokes that fell flat and odd scenes about "Talk to the hand" aside. T3 also marks the last time TPTB thought that a movie about cyborg assassins murdering people needed to be R-rated.

George Lucas is not involved with this film according to sources.

This should be news to no one. He cashed in his chips for Indy and SW alike and beyond the outlines for Episode 7-9 Disney mandated him to provide (that they didn't use, sure, but people love to twist and pretend this was some kind of power ploy from Lucas to keep himself in the mix when he didn't even want to write them to begin with).

I'd really like to read those, actually.

Good I dislike the boi.

[sdp]

A shame but expected, I hope they write him off in a decent way.

[Andrew NDB]

0 surprise here. Like I said, he'll be "away at college" or something.

Still, this has got to be major league embarrassing for Shia. There he was, groomed as the one-day successor to Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones 4... and TPTB are too embarrassed by him to so much as allow him to have a cameo in Indiana Jones 5.

[ZariusTwo]

A shame but expected, I hope they write him off in a decent way.

With all the s*it Shia said about Speilberg, you'd better hope they're merciful

[Utrommaniac]

I think my favorite thing about this is that the last comment before the new update was "I hope Shia is in this movie", and then months later it's announced he's not.

[NinjaPug]

Fingers crossed we get an older Short Round in this one.

[ProphetofGanja]

I still think they waited way too damn long to bring this series back.

Granted, the story was kind of a mess (that's an understatement right there), but I think people would have been more forgiving if it'd come out ten years before it did. I liked that they went with a pulpy sci-fi vibe, rather than the same old school adventure schtick (although it can be great if done well), but yeah the movie was all over the place. And Harrison Ford didn't just look old, he looked like he felt old.

I still wish they had ran with Mutt being Indy's protege, taking up his mantle and whatnot. What are they gonna go with now in this new movie and the sequel it will undoubtedly get?

[Andrew NDB]

Mutt taking up the mantle would have been horrible. Indiana Jones isn't Batman.

I suspect if anything, future Indiana Jones movies will shift Indy into the background a bit as a "mission leader" role, with a "Team Indy" forming to do the legwork... probably with a recast Mutt in it.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I wonder if they'll bother using some of the "Old Indiana Jones Adventures" material -- e.g., him having an eye patch, kids, grandkids, great-grandkids, and bothering people with tales of his youth constantly.

[Andrew NDB]

I wonder if they'll bother using some of the "Old Indiana Jones Adventures" material -- e.g., him having an eye patch, kids, grandkids, great-grandkids, and bothering people with tales of his youth constantly.

With Lucas out of the picture now, maybe. He went in and scrapped all that stuff out when he did the blu-ray release.

[sdp]

I'm guessing there will be some type of successor, they mentioned they wanted Indiana Jones to be a series but obviously Harrison Ford is too old and if it isn't Mutt or a prequel series with a young Indy then I don't know what they'll do.

Wasn't there an interview that they weren't retconning Indy 4? It'd be weird to continue without mentioning Mutt.

I like Shia, and that interview he mentions he wouldn't criticize Spielberg if he wasn't ok with it or something along those lines so I'm guessing him not being included has more to do with $$ and Shia being heavily criticized than any personal vendettas.

[Andrew NDB]

The only Indiana Jones TV show. "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles." The TV show had a framing device in which OOOOOLD Indy (different actor than Harrison Ford) in our present with an eyepatch would basically narrate each given episode. When it came to the blu-rays, George Lucas removed all of that stuff.

Though Harrison Ford has a whole adventure in "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles." That one is intact.

[ProactiveMan]

Indiana Jones and the digital face replacement. Coming to a multiplex near you.

The only Indiana Jones TV show. "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles." The TV show had a framing device in which OOOOOLD Indy (different actor than Harrison Ford) in our present with an eyepatch would basically narrate each given episode. When it came to the blu-rays, George Lucas removed all of that stuff.

You can find all those segments on YouTube. Seeing old Indy in inaction is pretty funny, or sad depending on how you look at it. He does all sorts of things like attack rude youths, drive monster trucks, and confront his grandchildren about their awful music.

Indiana Jones 5 Could Be Steven Spielberg’s Next Film (https://www.cbr.com/indiana-jones-5-spielberg-next-film/)

I hope it's Atlantis. I kinda hope for Mutt too, I didn't mind him.

Atlantis would be cool. It's too bad they've already decided Mutt can't come back, I liked the character. It's a shame showbiz drove Shia LaBeouf a little crazy. Maybe he'll return to films someday.

Crystal Skull was...average, I guess.
It was worse, than previous three movies, but not exactly a horrible monstrosity.

Also, never understood major hatred that some people had for this movie because of aliens. So, magic and immortal knights and A-OK, but aliens are NO-NO, in the Jones'verse? Like, really?

Agreed. The introduction of aliens to this series was far from the worst thing to happen to it.

It's not even up for debate. TFA was a huge rehash of stuff done before. That's, like, all it was.

Quoted because this bears repeating. And TLJ was a complete rehash of ESB.

Mutt taking up the mantle would have been horrible. Indiana Jones isn't Batman.

I suspect if anything, future Indiana Jones movies will shift Indy into the background a bit as a "mission leader" role, with a "Team Indy" forming to do the legwork... probably with a recast Mutt in it.

Well yeah I didn't mean Mutt should literally put on Indy's hat and jacket and start calling himself Indiana "Mutt" Jones or something but this franchise really needs someone younger to step in and start going on the adventures that Indy is too old for.

Like Cubed said several times in this thread, Harrison Ford is gonna be old as **** by the time this movie comes out, and if they want to be able to do an Indiana Jones 6 then they need to have a gameplan, before they're forced to just do IJ6 as Old Man Jones sitting in a chair by the fireside telling some kids about other adventures of his youth, seen in flashbacks. Which sucks because I feel like they'll likely do the thing that every movie seems to feel the need to do now and dangle a hook for a sequel at the end of IJ5, which they probably won't get a chance to explore, like the stupid subplot about Peter Parker's parents in the Amazing Spider-Man films.

[CyberCubed]

In Star Wars Episode 7 and Blade Runner 2049, Harrison Ford didn't really do much than stand around or point a gun. He really had no action scenes, mostly dialogue where he would stand or sit talking.

Problem is Indiana Jones is an action franchise where you expect him to be jumping around, leaping, dodging traps, etc....I don't know how they'll do it unless they replace him with a stunt double every single action scene.

[Shark_Blade]

Indiana Jones and the digital face replacement. Coming to a multiplex near you.

You know what..... they did that for Robert Downey Jr in Ironman 3. They could use that technology what with Marvel & Lucasfilm now owned by Disney.

Look at that. Amazing. :o He's literally a teenager.

[Andrew NDB]

They're going to ride till the wheels come off with Ford, and I'm fine with that.

Remember what Spielberg said. There will be NO passing of the torch in Indy 5. When Ford is 100% done I'm sure they'll recast and do more Nazi stuff in the 40s... but not before.

Finding someone who can play a young Harrison Ford would be very difficult, and big shoes to fill, River Phoenix and Sean Patrick Flanery both played Young Indy, but neither of them looked like Harrison Ford.

[Jester]

Alden Ehrenreich...cast the Han Solo movie guy.

[TigerClaw]

Alden Ehrenreich...cast the Han Solo movie guy.
He doesn't quite look like Harrison Ford, however the actor Anthony Ingruber who many fans wanted for Han Solo, looked very much like a young version of Harrison Ford.

q7xWJHXY8ws

They should get this guy as a young Indiana Jones.

[ProphetofGanja]

They don't have to cast someone who looks like a young Harrison Ford, they just have to cast someone who fits the role and can act well

[sdp]

I can't believe this movie is supposed to come out next year, I remember it felt so far away. Never been a huge Indiana fan but like the character a lot oddly enough.

What's wrong with Temple of Doom?

[Andrew NDB]

As I get older I think Temple of Doom is the best one. As a kid I think I only liked it least because it didn't connect much to do 1 and 3. It's easily the most immersive. He's not traveling around the world, he's going to one place and getting immersed in some ****.

Also Temple of Doom actually took place before Raiders of the Lost Ark, so its a prequel to that, and it was the movie that caused the creation of the PG-13 rating, cause there were some scenes that went beyond normal PG.

Yeah, I know. Whenever I rewatch the movies I start with ToD. It flows much better that way anyway, with 1 into 3.

[sdp]

3>1>4>2

It's been a long while since I've watched them so I guess my thoughts could change upon a re-watch but yeah Temple just didn't do it for me and Crystal never seemed that bad. Raiders is great but I do think Last Crusade beats it.

I've really got to watch Young Indiana Jones, I'll try to before this new movie.

[TigerClaw]

Temple of Doom had some really good action scenes, like the mine cart chase, which was all done with stop motion animation, if this movie was shot today, that whole sequence would've been CGI.

When you look at 1, 2, and 3, the FX don't age very well.

[Powder]

I love all of these movies, including the last, so I'm ready whenever. Even if he's old & tired, relying on stuntmen, I'll enjoy it.

[CyberCubed]

Nope. Nope. And. Nope.

1 was great as a standalone movie with adventure, romance, etc...nice throwback to 50's era adventure movies which I imagine what it was aiming for. The last one of course has Sean Connery and the dynamic between him and Ford is great.

The second one is where things get too campy with gross out humor and some racist overtones. I enjoy it for what it is, but it's not great. Also it has the worst female lead, she spent the entire movie screaming and complaining about everything.

[ProactiveMan]

The Temple of Doom was screwed over by The Last Crusade in a lot of ways. You go from 'Fortune and glory' to 'It belongs in a museum'. I think the idea at the time was to make Indiana Jones like James Bond - a series of self contained adventures that could go on forever. They changed their mind with the third one and made it more of a bookend, which makes Temple of Doom feel out of place. I like it fine though - I never watch them back to back so the change in tone doesn't really bother me.

You know what..... they did that for Robert Downey Jr in Ironman 3. They could use that technology what with Marvel & Lucasfilm now owned by Disney.

sFsB56DYIiE
Look at that. Amazing. :o He's literally a teenager.

I don't think they could do it for a whole movie - it would be too distracting, and super expensive. Plus RDJ barely moves in that scene.

Same here.
When I was watching decade ago, I found it incredibly boring and slow, but when i was rewatching it recently I've found it to be as fun and interesting as the first movie.

Yeah, it's darker and more somber than the other IJ movies, but it gives it a certain charm.

'Cubed has become "SJW"?

The movie as a whole tribute to the pulp novels of old. Some "outdateness" comes with a package. Nothing too big really. Though, "keyboard-warriors" will probably choke on their spit, watching it.

[TMNT_Guy]

Temple of Doom is one of my favorite movies of all time, but I'm not going to ignore that it's depiction of Indian cuisine and it's portrayal of Hinduism wrong and very offensive to people of that culture and/or religion. The latter of which is especially wrong when they could have easily created their own made up religion and goddess instead of taking another's and out right claiming it's evil.
I hope it's atlantis.
I kind of hope it isn't, because it would make the fantastic adventure game Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis non-canon. But if they did I would absolutely see it anyway. There's so many ancient treasures and mythology out there and I'd rather them pick something that hasn't already been done in other media.

It just feels too comical, like a cartoon. Gross-out humor of indian food, the female lead woman constantly screaming and being terrified over everything, Shortround (although I liked him, he's kinda problematic), and the way the final set pieces were with the lava and the Indian God or whatever he was.

[sdp]

Indiana Jones really should've become a James Bond type of franchise with a new entry every other year.

Because, it what it is supposed to be - tribute to ridiculous pulp novels of the time, with all their shortcomings. And, yes, it is supposed to be outdated - it's in the core idea of that genre - white man adventures in the ridiculous exotic setting.

This is sort of heir of those ridiculous stories that people told each other back in the ancient times and middle ages, about lands of people with one leg and so on.

And before usual suspects come here to be triggered, no, it's not only white people who did that. Pretty much any nation of the old had some crazy stories about foreign lands.

Also, the way nazis and Russians were treated in Indy is pretty much par for the course for the pulp novels.

TL'DR
Don't take it too seriously.

Also, it seems 'Cubed has learnt a new popular buzzword "problematic". Yuck.
"internet-warriors" don't know what kind of ally they will receive, lol.

[CyberCubed]

Well fair enough, I don't really care. I'm not that invested in Indiana Jones. :lol:

I think the first and third are the best, hopefully this new one is good too.

Harrison Ford didn't do much more in Episode 7 or Blade Runner than stand around. He really had no action scenes in either movie. Just standing pointing a gun or sitting down. I thought that was especially noticeable.

Problem with Indiana Jones is you expect him to be running around, jumping, going through set pieces, and I just don't think he can handle it at his age.

Not that I'm against him tapping a woman to follow in his footsteps, it's just that it seems like they really hadn't thought any of this modern Indiana Jones revival out. If they ever get IJ5 released and then possibly do an IJ6, IJ4 will just be this weird lonely outlier all distanced from the other films by long stretches of time. Sloppy

Tomb Raider could've been an awesome modern Indiana incarnation in the 00's instead we got those weird fantasy adventure movies with Angelina Jolie and right now Tomb Raider is not even anything like Indiana Jones but just some crappy "survival" girl who can't match the attitude or strength the original Lara had.

If your main star can fall apart after even gentle push, you'd think twice about how to construct action scenes!

As last two Star Wars movies has proved, even super mega big name is not an absolute protection from suckage and bad critical reception. Crystal Skull already was veering on the edge of mediocrity for the most people, so no wonder they need to take time and make (final?) IJ into something good and special, so as not to be remembered as a another franchise that had ended on a **** note.

It's hard to believe there was a period of time where no one would ever think such a thing about Ford.

[Sumac]

#bringbackmutt
I am fine with that.
He wasn't the worst thing about CS and with a better writing he might be quite good.

[Leo656]

I really didn't mind Crystal Skull. It felt weird at first, but I still liked it, and when I read them explain what they were trying to do with the aliens and everything, tying the film's story in with the pop culture of its contemporary setting the way swashbuckling, Nazi-fighting pulp hero stuff was en vogue during the period the original Indiana Jones films were set in, it made a lot of sense to me.

I'unno, I catch it sometimes. It doesn't bother me. "Last Crusade" will probably always be my favorite but I'd probably watch Crystal Skull before Temple of Doom.

Not to be morbid or "jinx" anything, but I'll be a little surprised if this thing actually gets made. Clock is ticking, y'know? I'd love to see one more, just as a fan, but... the longer they wait, the less they can actually do from a practical perspective, and let's face it, they're already on borrowed time.

[sdp]

I liked mutt just fine and Indy wasn't horrible my ranking would likely be 1>3>4>2

I don't need Harrison Ford to be young, of course someone else needs to do the action scenes. They already passed the torch in 4, why not just have Mutt again? If he's not there then I hope there's a valid explanation. Hell have Ford lose an eye so it can be in continuity with the Indy tv show.

[Leo656]

Like, I like the character of Mutt just fine but I really hate Shia. I wouldn't be at all upset with a recasting. It would be silly to just write the character out of things completely, I'd frankly be pretty annoyed about that.

I remember a lot of the backlash at the time was basically Shia Fatigue. Not all of it, obviously, there were a lot of things about the movie that people didn't like, such as the aliens and whatnot, but he definitely had a lot of negative heat on him at the time after the first couple Transformers movies. He was obviously cast in Crystal Skull because he was "hot" at the time but they were a little tone deaf to the fact that a lot of people really, actively didn't want to see him in anything in that moment, and anything he was in was going to get some grief just by association.

He was definitely MY least favorite part, but I liked the rest of the movie just fine. I just can't watch him in anything. He's basically just coked out of his mind constantly, that's his "method" and it's exhausting to watch.

My personal ranking is 3>1>4>2 but I acknowledge that Raiders is superior as a film to Crusade. I just really like all the father-son stuff with Indy and Sean Connery. Very heartfelt, very moving. Raiders is a better film but if I only pick one to watch on a lazy weekend afternoon it's always Crusade.

[Andrew NDB]

Jeeze... my ratings have fluctuated over the years a lot. Right now? 1>3>2>4. Not a HUGE gap between any of them, really. And actually on subsequent rewatchings of 4 I actually enjoy it more. It sort of... arced. It came out, I liked it more than 2. Then I picked at it and picked at it. Then I came back with a fresh perspective and rather enjoy it for what it is, with only a couple of eye-rolling moments.

[Leo656]

To this day whenever I have any "real life" conversations with anyone about it, they just whine about the Aliens and how stuff like that has no business in Indiana Jones. How he should've still been fighting Nazis 20-odd years later or chasing another religious artifact.

I mean, I get it. But like I said, once I read about how they were basically just trying to connect it with contemporary pop culture trends of the late-50s when the film takes place - sci-fi and aliens being the big draws in that moment, the same way they'd done with swashbuckling pulp heroes, femme fatales and Nazi-punchers which were popular in the 30s and 40s, it all made a lot of sense and I find it to be kind of creative. They wanted Indy's adventures to continue to be relevant to the era in which he was existing and to continue to parallel what was hip in entertainment during those different eras.

I know some people didn't get it and others got it but didn't like it. I'unno. There were a few fumbles but I've never thought it was anywhere near as bad as most people insist. To me it felt like the reaction to Episode I, where everyone spent 30 years writing the next movie in their head and so when the movie actually came out it suffered from not meeting impossible expectations.

I did talk to a buddy once who hated it, then re-watched it after we talked about it and he said that he liked it a lot more the second time when he went into it with a better understanding of what they were trying to accomplish. So that's something I guess. He said the aliens thing bugged him so much the first time he just rejected the entire thing, but it sat better with him the second time. ((shrug))

[Andrew NDB]

You could apply the same arguments in support of Indy 4 (the 50s sensibility, the things relevant to that era and what TV and movies felt like then) as you could what Lucas was going for in the SW prequels. Because he was.

My only lingering nits with 4 aren't the aliens, but just how over the top they went with SFX. The truck chase spiraling over bottomless ravines, the monkey swinging business, the CGI fire ant craziness, things like that. Where they should have played things more close to the vest and more low key, smaller, maybe opt for more intimate character stuff (but still with grit) as opposed to the more fantastical or grandiose (in no small part to Indy being much older than when we saw him last)... instead they went the opposite route, for bigger and more stuff happening everywhere.

[Leo656]

Oh my, yes. Yes to all of that, I agree wholeheartedly.

To be fair, George and Steven were both in their "Oooooohhhh, look at what we can make with our shiny new computer toys!" phase, which was affecting everything in Hollywood at the time. It's like a kid figuring out Photoshop filters for the first time, they just stick sh*t anywhere with no rhyme or reason because they're having fun playing with their new toy. It's not until going back to it way later on where you're like, "Wow, that looks like sh*t." :lol: But then I'm adamantly anti-CGI except when absolutely necessary, anyway. Although pretty much none of the CGI in that movie couldn't have been done with practical effects. Just Kids Playing With Their New Toys, is all.

Good insight on the prequels as well. I was pretty big into Star Wars at the time so I was devouring all the behind-the-scenes media I could get my hands on. I think that might be why the Prequels sat better with me than with most. Certain choices that most people found questionable didn't bother me so much because they'd already been explained to me, kinda.

[Andrew NDB]

None of the prequels let me down, really. 2 came the closest to, and maybe did on some levels, but all of them I saw in the theater and still walked out with awe and a satisfaction that I'd seen a new Star Wars movie. Sure, I'd come out going, "But man I wish this had happened instead of that, or we'd gotten this sooner" but who cares. It took chances and gave new stuff.

[Leo656]

Yeah, my Dad was never a space movie or science fiction guy but I managed to get him to watch Star Wars with me right before Episode I came out and he actually enjoyed them, partially because they reminded him of the old pulp serials and WWII dogfight movies he always liked from when he was little.

We ended up seeing all three of the Prequels in theaters together and he liked them a lot. We never had much in common and our relationship as a whole was often very strained, so I'll always have a soft spot for those movies, not entirely but in part because they gave us something to connect over and enjoy together, which was increasingly rare by that point.

Well this turned around fast. Indiana Jones 5 films in 2 months:

https://www.darkhorizons.com/fifth-indiana-jones-to-film-in-two-months/

[IMJ]

I really, really hope they don't go the "Indy's daughter in movie to T.V. show" thing we heard about last month or so. But given the proximity of that leak to Ford's confirmation that he's starting to film, I think it might be true.

As for the Indy films we have so far? There are a zillion Indy novels and comics showing other "Adventures". I always sort of take TOD and KOTCS as examples of the stuff he basically went around doing all the time. So his standout career events were Raiders and Crusade.

I've always considered Raiders and Crusade to be directly correlated - Crusade is a legit Sequel to Raiders - thematically and in relevance. It would be really great if this movie was proportionately as solid as Raiders and Crusade, forming a bit of a coherent feeling trilogy.

They've said over and over again it won't be a passing of the torch thing so it should be fine.

I'm sure Spielberg will, at least, be some kind of exec producer by the time all is said and done. It is pretty strange though for Spielberg to not wrap this one up as he and Ford's final flick and then Disney pulls a swap with a new Director and Actor.

I can only imagine what's going to happen here though give Kathleen Kennedy and Star Wars.

[Andrew NDB]

I'm sure Spielberg will, at least, be some kind of exec producer by the time all is said and done.

He is. The Variety article says he will be a "very hands on producer." But that's like... Tim Burton being a producer on "Batman Forever." Who cares?

[IMJ]

He is. The Variety article says he will be a "very hands on producer." But that's like... Tim Burton being a producer on "Batman Forever." Who cares?

I suppose that's true. Or it's like Jon Favreau's DNA all over launching Iron Man, but then he's the Executive Producer on Iron Man 3 and that film was a disaster that gave the middle finger to everything the other movies built up as the Ten Rings which was intended to culminate into a Mandarin/Iron Man encounter.

:oops::oops:-I know I periodically bring that **** movie up, but I'm still trying to get over it- :lol::lol:

But it's a strong parallel. Probably the only I.P. I'm into as much as Iron Man, if not more is Indiana Jones.

Removed from canon by the DVD/blu-ray versions. And that wasn't Harrison (right?), though Harrison did show up in that one episode of it.

Kind of looks like they weren't too far off the mark, though, really.

[oldmanwinters]

I am perfectly fine with Spielburg and Lucas skipping this one.
Granted, I might skip it too.

[Andrew NDB]

Although forget about Crystal Skull and "Harrison's so old!" for a minute. Just imagine, really imagine... them making this movie the Indiana Jones version "Logan" (they went after the director of it, that's probably what they're thinking). And think what that could be like, if done right.

You just know it was going to get delayed again even without the coronavirus.

Eventually Harrison will just be too old and this will probably be rebooted to a straight up reboot with a younger Indy and a new actor.

[Andrew NDB]

No, I think they'll just keep retooling what this movie will be and what his level of involvement will be in it if he gets much older. It'll still happen, unless he drops dead.

After that? Yeah. We'll get more nazi adventures in the 40s with a new Indy. We all know that's inevitable.

[Andrew NDB]

Shooting in the Spring now. Everyone seems happy with the script (again?).

[Powder]

I'm still all for it. Loved the last one, even though it was pretty dumb.

[Leo656]

I don't think Crystal Skull was "dumb", I just think it wasn't at all what people wanted/expected and thus became "dumb" by way of consensus.

Except for Shia, he's always f*cking terrible. Isn't he related to someone famous? I swear that's the only reason he gets work. He's one of the worst I've ever seen.

Other than him, I liked Crystal Skull, mostly. I just think if they were gonna do a Part 5, they should've done it, like... 10 years ago.

I get wanting the "stink" of the last one to air out but people already thought Part 4 was a bad idea because "they waited too long". Now? Yikes.

We'll see, though.

[CyberCubed]

Harrison Ford could barely move when he was in his 60's in 2008, now that he's nearly 80 I don't know what he's going to do in this movie. Replacing every action scene with a stunt double is going to stick out like a sore thumb.

[frank_one]

I'm expecting less action and more brain: nothing wrong about that.

I think he did a pretty great and believable job in TKOTCS. But honestly, I know some guys who are crankin' 60 and are still pretty damn mobile and jacked. I'd say most of what we saw him do in KOTCS is plausible (not talking about the Nuked Fridge kind of stuff here....).

The only moment I was taken out of it in regards to his mobility was at a point during the Dovchenko fight scene with the ants. There is a moment or two where Ford is SUPER pale on screen and blush in his lips and oh man I thought he was going to drop dead of a heart attack. I can't believe they never reshot that or color corrected it, but look for it. You can't miss it. It's right around the part where he gets grabbed by the ear and is down in the sand - it's crazy.

But now? At 80? Hmmmmm..... it's going to have to be a very different kind of movie. I just want more Hasbro Indy figures.

[CyberCubed]

He barely moved in Blade Runner.

[frank_one]

He barely moved in Blade Runner.In Episode 7 he clearly looked hindered.
He surely won't get any younger but, again, I don't thing this should be a big deal. An older, experienced Indy doesn't need to punch bad guys during the whole movie and could still be an interesting character even with a walking stick. His ability in solving mysteries is what the character is about and that doesn't age with the body.

[sdp]

I only want two things and don't believe I'll be getting them.
1) Shia 2) Ford with eye patch.
I'm still looking forward to it.

The thing is though that Indy is a whip swinging, climbing action/adventure character. Han is more of a talking head pilot. But agreed totally re the intellectual Indy stuff.

Mutt is part of canon now. They'll have to address both that and his marriage to Marion. I wouldn't mind the eyepatch making it's way into film continuity either.

[frank_one]

1) Shia 2) Ford with eye patch.
I'm still looking forward to it.The old Indy with the eye patch who appeared in the tv series unfortunately is no longer canon, they stripped his scenes away on the dvd re-release. In those scenes he mentions a daughter (I don't remember if she actually appeared in the series) which is obviously not part of the canon anymore.
Shia was confirmed to not come back in the new movie early in the development years ago but they can't remove him from the canon so Mutt will probably be referenced some how.

[Andrew NDB]

Shia was confirmed to not come back in the new movie early in the development years ago

As in, way, wayyy before Mangold came in with his reportedly brand new script. Shia may very well be in it though it's somewhat doubtful. If anything, we might get "now older Mutt" but played by a different actor.

Decent odds that they wheel in Karen Allen for at least a small "peekapoo" appearance.

I accuse you of beating my cat. No, I won't take it to trial. Does that mean you can't work anymore?

In Shia's case, though... it seems pretty damning. And this is after tons of stories of him getting into fights everywhere over many years now.

[IMJ]

since he's been accused of being an abuser.

Not saying he didn't do anything wrong. Not saying that.

But I am saying that look at how easily this rolls off the tongue nowadays. Guilt by accusation.

I can't wait for the day where I start to see the people who subscribe to this droppin' like flies. Especially when people start making accusations on those who think being accused of something means it should be the end. No one should have ramifications for anything based on accusations. I'll be at least 65% of the people reading this post falsely accused someone of something in their life at one point, maybe out of error but more likely out of sabotage.

Dude, like everyone who ever worked with Shia has at least one huge "That guy is such an asshole" story. Nobody should feel sorry for him, nor give him the benefit of the doubt.

He's a fall-down drunk and a cokehead and he was born with his head three feet up his own ass. He was Hot Sh*t in the movie business for like five minutes, which made all of the above even worse, and now most people don't want to work with him and those who do always regret it. He's not even a good actor; he's just a twat.

I don't say this about too many people, but it'd be great if something happened so that he'd just stay home forever. I'd very much like to never see or hear of him again.

He got arrested once for getting into a fight at the Walgreens we stop at all the time when we go downtown Chicago to hang out at Hard Rock Cafe. LMAO!

[Leo656]

That's awesome. :lol:

I got a story like that. Back in 2008 or 9-ish, like an hour after we met Scott Hall/Razor Ramon at a convention in Monroe, he got kicked out of the hotel bar for walking up to a family in a booth and telling the wife (in front of her kids) "Yo, I bet I could eat your pussy better than he (her husband) can." :lol: So they called him a cab, and serendipitously, my wife's cousin and her husband were already in the cab they sent over for him. Which was odd because they were not wrestling fans and were on their way to a completely unrelated function nearby. The next day they were like "YO, we were in a cab last night with Razor Ramon, he was drunk as hell and all pissed off," I'm like "Yeah, we were at the bar with him and we saw him get thrown out of the hotel. How the f*ck did you end up in the same cab as him?" and they're all "I'unno! He made them drop him off at Dock's (a seedy, low-rent tavern in Jamesburg that's literally a five-minute walk from the house I grew up in and a two-minute walk from the place I lived at the time)."

SO. I went online to check the wrestling news, and the top headline for the day was "Scott Hall Arrested At A Bar In Jamesburg, NJ." :lol: Turns out that not even an hour after we saw him, and like five minutes after he got out of my wife's cousin's cab, someone at Dock's got mouthy with him and he shoved some chick against the bar and got himself arrested. SO, he had quite a busy weekend!

He's not ALWAYS like that, though. He's a nice guy, he just shouldn't drink. I like Scott. He's always been nice to me. Although EVERY time we've ever met, he grabs my wife's ass. But like, he's a legit 6'8 and I plan to live a long time, so y'know what? It's whatever. :lol: If she's happy, I'm happy. :trazz:

Whenever I see someone talking about Lara in Internet they usually talk about OG Lara, not "brutal crying murder Lara".

Every day at the moment, on my way to work, I walk past - actually, through - what is about to be the set. They've turned a substantial part of Glasgow city centre into 1969 New York, creating fake shop fronts (a travel agency with lots of Pan Am posters, a sandwich shop with a prominent period Coca Cola sign, lots of pharmacies) and replaced the normal traffic lights with older (yellow) ones.

Lots of American flags everywhere, and in one shop front a sign welcoming back the astronauts Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins, so perhaps a small clue to the theme of the movie there.
