I wonder if Shia is in or out
Heās definitely out.
This just feels like such an epicly terrible idea. What a waste of money and talent. Not Harrison Ford, of course, heās become a total hack, but Steven Spielberg shouldnāt be wasting his time on this crap.
Thatās a good angle. Spielberg only has X more movies left in him and yeah Iād rather see him do something in, say, a Munich or Bridge of Spies mode, or even War of the Worlds.
I would too, but the studios would take an Indy 6 over Munich any day.
Of course it comes down to cash from their POV. Not necessarily Spielbergās, as he has enough money. But I perhaps he enjoys making the Indiana Jones movies. Maybe lets him blow off steam between āseriousā efforts. Also itās still a collaboration between him and Lucas, right? Crack open a few beers, brainstorm a dumb story with David Koepp or Larry Kasdan, party like itās 1979!
Here we are, 10 years after this thread was created, 12 years after the last Indiana Jones movie, which was total garbage, and weāre still apparently going to be spoon-fed another helping.
Harrison Ford will be nearly 80 if the movie somehow comes out next year. This isnāt entertainment, itās elder abuse.
Crystal Skull is a fine movie. Watch it again.
As I recall itās a hot mess benefiting from Spielbergās never less than competent direction. But itās been a dozen years so who knows.
Jesus, a dozen yearsā¦
I will be there day 1, Iāve rewatched KotCS and its got good moments.
My goodness, 12 years ago. It still feels pretty fresh in my mind. I wonāt say it is a fresh pile of shit, just a fresh pile of meh.
Replying to a decade-old comment to say that while itās true that the scene in question was probably the best in the film (despite the whole reasoning behind it being totally asinine), the burning train scene has stuck with me despite having only ever seen the movie once, in the theater. Although having just rewatched it it wasnāt quite as haunting as I recall. I would have done one angle on it from the watchersā perspective, but hey Iām not Spielberg!
Still havenāt seen it. I keep forgetting it exists.
On behalf of the QT3 community, and the human race in general, Iād like to apologize for reminding you.
I would like to see a film with old Indy sitting in a rocking chair in front of his house whipping youngsters who step on his lawn. Clint Eastwood can play his neighbour and confidente.
That Iād pay to see.
The old Indy played by George Hall in the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles was 93 (Indiana was born in 1899), so that gives Harrison another 15 years before Indy reaches that part of his life. Doubt that show is canon anymore otherwise they should show Indy losing his eye during the next movieā¦
Looking at the timeline, Indy 5 would need to be set during the late 70s (or early 80s if they canāt get going within the next 2 yearsā¦)
EDIT: BTW Someone edited together all the old indy clips on youtubeā¦
Thanks for looking that up and doing the math! Iād like to think itās still as canon as, say, Lucasfilmās āEwoks: Caravan of Courageā, but in this new Disney universe, who can say?
Thereās still plenty of opportunity for pulpy two-fisted adventure!
Indiana Jones and the Crisis of Gas
Indiana Jones and the Dog That Said Kill
Indiana Jones and the Glittery Discotheque
Indiana Jones and Platoās Retreat
Indiana Jones and the Revocation of Tenure
Indiana Jones and the Phoenix River
Indiana Jones and the Star Wars Premiere
Indiana Jones and the Economic Malaise
Indiana Jones and the Persian Hostages
And the eye-specific ones:
Indiana Jones and the Cruel Tutelage of Pai Mei
Indiana Jones and the Eye Gouging Machine
Indiana Jones and the Sacrifice of Odin
There was already something really disturbing about watching Indiana Jones shuffle about like an old man in The Crystal Skull and that was what 12 years ago. What are they going for this time: āIndiana Jones and the Sapphire Wheelchairā?
Itās time for a reboot already. I love Harrison Ford but heās categorically ātoo old for this shitā.
Or, heaven forbid, let an IP come to a graceful end, and DONāT reboot?
