"Sallah" on Disney+ by Tony Gilroy.
JJ Abrams thought that he could have his version of "The Devil Wears Prada" with Harrison Ford and Rachel McAdams.
The main problem of course is that Meryl Streep is good at acting and Ford is good at being a passable "movie star"
My viewpoint is Ford hasn't "carried" a film on his own star power, removing real franchises that are almost guaranteed to carry legacy fans and big box office numbers, since Air Force One in the late 90s.
Tom Cruise has remained A List for so long because he's a big movie star comfortable with being a big movie star. He's not trying to be Daniel Day Lewis. He's not trying to star in the next Gone With The Wind. Air Force One is a film built as a vehicle for a "movie star" Just about any movie star could have played it.
K19? Hollywood Homicide? Firewall? Crossing Over? Extraordinary Measures?
Ford isn't the only one. Bruce Willis, Will Smith, Sly Stallone and others have gone down this path. Resentful that they weren't generally respected as pure acting talents, and picking bad roles to try to prove everyone wrong.
I want a good Indy film for the fans who love the IP and the franchise. I want him to do more for those fans, including the fans here, than he did for his last Star Wars appearance, where he truly and deeply mailed it in, letting his resentment bubble over everything. But after that, I'd be OK with him disappearing.
I want this final Indy film to be something that respects and honors the loyalty of the true and hard core fans here. I don't want Ford to mail it in again because he's angry about how little the Indy character and story means to him besides a paycheck, I'd like him to put out the effort to honor what the Indy legacy means to countless fans out there. I can abide a bad actor, I can't abide the selfishness. In my book, it's like stealing from all of you here.
Here we go again……It’s simple if the movie is going to force agendas then it’s impossible to be good.
I don’t care which side of an agenda but if it’s there it’s not going to be good no matter what because that drives the story.
I know I'm late to the party with regard to the trailer but I just watched it and man, I can't believe they're still doing that stupid single note piano key thing as if they're stirring the deepest emotions in our souls a full seven years after TFA did the same thing. As for the footage itself it all looked very KOTCS-ish.
Ha ha, yes I remember "Bishop's Countdown" closing out every other trailer in the 90's for a while too (Volcano immediately comes to mind.) Which is funny because Bishop's Countdown itself was just a tweaked version of the final moments of Luke flying away from the Death Star at the end of ANH which John Williams also probably stole from somewhere else, lol.Been that way for awhile. I remember in the 90's almost every action movie used the ALIENS music from the ending (escape the explosion cue).
I believe there has been a lot of screenwriters and scripts that have gone the way of Donovan, to get to where we are. A fourteen year delay wasn't the plan after 'crystal' im sureAnother thing - "pick-ups". That's what you primarily go back to do afterwards. Fill in the gaps in the edit to make things flow better and add to the overall quality of the story/film.
This ******** term "re-shoots" is only something that has come to be in the decade or so. That's because people wrote solid scripts back in the day. They were vetted by professionals that understood good structure and quality storytelling.
Now, it's a bunch of bean counters that have zero clues about scripts and green light a film on the "equation" they need to make it work; actors, pre-sales, etc. That's why we have such a glut of endless ****.
If the script for Indy 5 was solid from the very beginning, there isn't a chance in hell the words "re-shoot the ending" would even exist.
Just go watch the making of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Check out the pick-ups (or in 2022 Hollyweird - "re-shoots"), then you'll see real filmmaking.
**** off "re-shoots."
Yep, the obligatory quiet piano notes. And did you like the way they replaced John Williams Indy theme with carhorns?I know I'm late to the party with regard to the trailer but I just watched it and man, I can't believe they're still doing that stupid single note piano key thing as if they're stirring the deepest emotions in our souls a full seven years after TFA did the same thing.

It's all true... all of it.
