Indiana Jones 5 - 2019

Just spotted this today: https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/spielberg-and-ford-reunite-as-indiana-jones-returns-to-theaters-july-19-2019/

I like the idea of a new Indy, but am extremely cautious after Crystal Skull. Let's hope they get this right..

[Bolsters]

I don't have high hopes.

[BlackInk]

I feel rather indifferent about this right now. I'll see when we get closer how I really feel about a new Indie movie.

I liked part 4 so i say bring it on

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

Raiders of the Lost AARP?

I agree. Plus, FWIW it doesn't sound like Lucas is going to be involved.

I heard Harrison agreed to do it only on the condition that his son kills him...

Where did you hear that?  That hasn't been in anything I've seen.

I think he's having a laugh, with a reference to The Force Awakens..

Well, goddammit.

[Logain Ablar]

I've read on other sites that this one might be a "passing of the torch", with some new actor taking up the role for subsequent movies. I'd really prefer it if they didn't do that, and instead went out in one last blaze of glory.

Though, with Disney in the driving seat, they're gonna want to milk as much money out of this franchise as they can.

[DragonAttack]

...with the new actor in a cave, barely escaping a runaway wheelchair with Indy on board......

JUST STOP IT I'M FRAGILE

[Progmetty]

Harrison Ford will say yes to anything, he's white Samuel Jackson.

[Cool Chris]

That's not true, he isn't churning out film after film after at this point in his career Robert DeNiro.

I said this when IJ4 came out, but I really hope that this doesn't turn in to a Bond franchise where 50 years from now we are talking IJ25 and the 5th actor who is going to don the tuxedo and Walther. 

[MirrorMask]

I guess I saw only Raiders as a kid, so it was only in the later years that I decided to fully watch all Indy movies. When you see them back to back, without years of nostalgia to protect the first three, the fourth one isn't THAT bad. Sure, it had its flaws but I found it kept the tone of the first three movies, it felt like people doing it knew what the other three movies were all about. Again, it didn't come out great but it actually felt a continuation of the character and the style of the older movies, which had silly parts as well, maybe not nuking-the-fridge silly but silly nevertheless (like Indy's father taking down a plane with birds).

This is however unlike Star Wars, where the story can go on after years with new characters. This is all about Indy and so you're stuck with an old Indy and it has to happens in the '60s because of his age. With such constrictions, a reboot it's better, and since Harrison Ford is irrepleaceable... just leave it alone, like Ghostbusters

Multiple important people involved including Spielberg have specifically stated that they won't be taking the Bond approach and recasting the part, and that only Harrison Ford is Indiana Jones. It will no doubt eventually happen in decades time when Hollywood wants to milk more money out of the franchise, but hopefully not in the near future.

I think so, too. I feel like if they want to continue the story, or even have prequels, they'll find a way to ruin it. That's just Hollywood.

This.  I really have no sense of urgency to see a new Indiana Jones.  Heck, Raiders is so much better than all the others.  The sequels were fun as a kid, but didn't hold up at all.  IJ3 was the closest to a sequel worth watching (as an adult).  Now as a kid, IJ2 was awesome.  Short round was the talk of the playground.  But IJ2 became laughable later on in life.

[Kotowboy]

At least Back To The Future won't be remade whilst Bob Zemeckis and Bob Gale are still around. Hopefully they can transfer the rights to their kids when they pass so it never gets remade.


Also Spielberg has said he'll also never allow a Jaws remake.

Dunno - I still like Temple of Doom, though I probably haven't watched it in a couple of years now. It is very dark though - voodoo magic, hearts being ripped out, child slavery, not exactly kiddie fare. But who doesn't like that banquet scene with "chilled monkey brains" and "snake surprise". 

I still think the interplay between the two Joneses is the highlight of Last Crusade. Brilliant.

Interesting snippet today on the Variety site, from an interview with Frank Marshall (producer)

https://variety.com/2016/scene/vpage/frank-marshall-indiana-jones-harrison-ford-cinemacon-1201750527

“It’s all about the story. I think both in the ‘Jason Bourne’ series and on ‘Indiana Jones,’ we are not going to do the Bond thing,” Marshall said, referring to rotating different actors through the title roles in the two franchises that he oversees. “We think those characters are iconic, and those are the only actors who can play that.”

[Kotowboy]

But nobody wants to see a 71 yr old Indiana Jones.

[Kotowboy]

New Indiana Jones film will be continuation of ‘The Crystal Skull’
The fifth film is set to follow on from the plot of its critically panned predecessor.

NOPE.

[pogoowner]

NOPE.

Every site out there made a clickbait headline like that, but the actual quote is much more vague. To me it sounds like they just meant it follows Crystal Skull chronologically.

[Logain Ablar]

Yeah, I think it is just referring to the period of time that the new one will be set in,

The age thing wasn't Crystal Skull's biggest problem for me. It was so frustrating, because some moments did feel like a proper IJ movie, but so many others were just way off.

I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt on this next one, but I still have reservations. It would be nice to finish the series on a high.

[Cool Chris]

I do, if it is done right. They just need to address the passage of time upfront like they did with IJ4, and the later original cast Trek movies.

[Accelerando]

I think Disney and Lucasfilm should be investing time and money in developing Young Indiana Jones movies

Judging from the prior posts in the thread, this is a few years late, but here's the first trailer for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.  Not sure what to make of some of this footage, but the bit at the end is amusing.

[Cool Chris]

Just saw the teaser poster. Got goosebumps. When this is released, I am there. Might try to avoid this trailer, spoilers, and basically any information about this as best I can. In other words, don't expect to see me much in this thread. 



Ok did a little reading. Spielberg and Lucas aren't involved in this at all? Always thought these three were a package deal when it came to Indiana Jones.

The title reminds me of the Pick of Destiny. And that makes me think of Jack Black, who I despise.
