Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

[AlexanderMBush]

Not gonna lie--Mangold's a pretty solid choice.

He's been continuing to do top quality films after one and another, and with Ford v. Ferrari being as much of a success as it was, it's pretty remarkable to see him being even a candidate for taking on Indy. And especially if it's to pass it to a new director, allowing new blood in..it'd be pretty freaking exciting.

It does raise concerns again for Kathleen, but I am not as..against this.

I'd also think trying to do post-production on "West Side Story" while doing pre-production and filming on "Indy 5" might have been a bit much, he decided.

They should just make it a reboot now. The whole point of Indy 5 was for Spielberg and Ford to end things on a high note to atone for Crystal Skull. Now Spielberg's out of the picture and Ford can't even fly planes properly anymore.

Just give the whip to Chris Pratt and let's get some new blood in there.

Spielberg is still on--just not as a director.

And if I am to guess, it'll finish off Ford's performance, and transition to a new actor for Indiana Jones, so they can Bond it up.

Producing doesn't really mean anything as far as quality, style, or vision goes. I mean, Spielberg produced Cats and the Transformers movies if you can believe that!

But my point about Ford is, he's just too old at this point. I don't mean to sound ageist, but the dude will be 78 by the time they ever get around to filming anything. How will he be expected to perform a bunch of action scenes short of using a stunt double?

I think at this point it will be an obviously aged Jones telling tales of adventure. As he talks it dissolves into visions of the past (starring Chris Pratt).


Or in other words, similar in format to Depps Lone Ranger, Little Big Man, and The Never-ending Story.

I think they tried that already in the 90s... ;-)

Young Indiana Jones and the Mystery of the Blues

Young Indiana Jones and the Mystery of the Blues is the eleventh episode of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, and the fifth episode of season two. The two-hour episode originally aired on ABC on March 13, 1993 and featured Harrison Ford in a guest-starring role as the older Indiana Jones...

This is really something that should’ve happened as soon as possible after Disney acquired LucasFilm. With Harrison Ford being 78 now, I fear we’re in for a lot of Shia LeBouf in this movie almost as the main star. It wouldn’t be believable for an almost-80 year old to be doing the things Indy does.

Um, I would suggest that we're not in for any Shia Lebouf at all, after today's news.

What did I miss?

EDIT: Ohhhhhh. Yikes. Well, looking at it strictly from a movie perspective, this could make for a better movie. But like, if those allegations are true, then screw Shia.

Innocent until and all that, but "I abused everyone including myself" is pretty textbook narcissist-got-caught.

Given everything we’ve seen from Shia over the years, I don’t think it’s much of a surprise.

 

[belloq87]

I don't think Shia's character was ever going to be involved, even back when Spielberg was still on the project.

Maybe not, but there has to be a younger character involved. There’s no way this is just Indy at this point.

 

[belloq87]

I would put a lot of money on Indy being paired with a young woman (a la Han Solo and Rey in THE FORCE AWAKENS).

 

[Nick]

Yeah, probably. They’ll probably be looking to set up a spin-off around whatever new character is brought in so they can continue the franchise.

Also, with Uncharted coming out with Tom Holland this summer, I think that makes this movie even less appealing as Uncharted will probably be more of an Indy movie than Indy 5 will.

 

[belloq87]

I mean, there will never be a substitute for Harrison Ford as Indy. Disney can try to spin off, and other studios can try to capture some of the flavor, but Ford's Indy will never be topped in terms of a pulp adventure hero.
