Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (June 30th, 2023)

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Harrison is now older than George Hall was when he played old Indy in the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, though George was playing a 93 year old.

But even at 93, Indy had some fight left in him:

Old Indy: "Indiana Jones in an old peoples home! It's inconceivable!" (Episode: "Vienna, November 1908")

He did get stuck up a tree trying to rescue a cat though.

I used to watch that show.

Indiana Jones and the Last Major Paycheck, Indiana Jones and the Temple Of Woke (you know it's set in the late 1960s and you know what that means).... The parody title list goes on, all deserved.

De-ageing dots, younger Indy rubber masks, more Nazis (big surprise there!) and a HF that's literally 5 years older than that ancient guy who played "almost dead eyepatch Indy" in the 1990s TV show. I guess this is the price of loving these franchises (and getting some more ROTLA/TOD/TLC merchandise.)

Funny how we post the same things over and over.

[The Buffinator]

I want to see Ford prove he still has it by racing Biden up the stairs

While the Indiana Jones theme plays.

 

[punisher1974]

I would rather the Benny Hill theme plays. More fitting I think.

Why even have 80 year old Ford rehearsing fight scenes? Why not use a stunt man for all those scenes? You can easily get a 50 year old stuntman, dye his hair, and CGI Ford's face in post production.

Why have 80 year old in movie at all.

Same reason Cruise hangs on airplanes -- ego. The "I can still do it" ego.

Yep.

 

[jye4ever]

So if Indy 5 is a huge success will he be back for Indy 6 lol

 

[Wor-Gar]

They always say there's "a sequel in the making" when a film is released, especially if there's resistance to it. It's a little lie to 'prove' the movie must be good if its getting a sequel.


Indy 6 - Indiana Jones and the Hunt for his Grave

I'm sure the Rian Johnson trilogy is right around the corner

Exactly one of the examples I was thinking. Indy 6 was talked about right after Skull opened in 2008. This game has been going on for a very long time.

I fully expect talk after Indy 5 opens about how Ford has one more in him!

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

The old Bond films always ended with "James Bond will return in....".

 

[Wor-Gar]

They were only wrong once.

EDIT: Twice... I just double-checked.

I was (am a big Indy fan) and waited for so many years for Indy 4.
But I don’t want to see an elderly Harrison Ford in the role. I don’t want to see “Mutt” . I don’t mind another actor in the role ( three other actors have already played Jones at different periods of his life). But I don’t want to see a complete reboot like with the actors in the Bond franchise.
Given the relative budget of Jones to Star Wars and the ability to produce quality sci-fi /fantasy programs for the tv screen ( think GOT,and more especially Mandolorian) I would suggest the producers cool it down a notch and produce a tv series for Disney or HBO Max with an unknown who resembles Ford in the role.
