Zeppelin Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/spielberg-and-ford-reunite-as-indiana-jones-returns-to-theaters-july-19-2019/ Quote Indiana Jones will return to the big screen on July 19, 2019, for a fifth epic adventure in the blockbuster series. Steven Spielberg, who directed all four previous films, will helm the as-yet-untitled project with star Harrison Ford reprising his iconic role. Franchise veterans Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall will produce. “Indiana Jones is one of the greatest heroes in cinematic history, and we can’t wait to bring him back to the screen in 2019,” said Alan Horn, Chairman, The Walt Disney Studios. “It’s rare to have such a perfect combination of director, producers, actor and role, and we couldn’t be more excited to embark on this adventure with Harrison and Steven.” Famed archaeologist and explorer Indiana Jones was introduced in 1981’s Raiders of the Lost Ark – one of AFI’s 100 Greatest American Films of All Time – and later thrilled audiences in 1984’s Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, 1989’s Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The four films have brought in nearly $2 billion at the global box office. Kinda figured this was coming. Thoughts?

JeanGenie Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) Why not let it go? I think Harrison Ford is too old. It was good while it lasted but now seeing gramps crawling in the dirt is stupid. Edited March 15, 2016 by JeanGenie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercool Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) i never liked the indiana jones movies anyway, i consider spielberg as one of the worst directors ever, his movies are so corny.

supercool Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) moreover, spielberg is a racist. the non-american characters in his movies are almost always portrayed negatively or with condedescendence. in back to the future, which was produced by spielberg, some terrorists from libya try to kill doc, i'm ready to bet it was spielberg's idea... his movies are full with this kind of negative vibe against other cultures.

DieselDaisy Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 The last one was one of the most horrendous films I have ever seen outside a Star Wars prequel. That scene where that kid swings around like Tarzan - jesus!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumble's Bridge Pickup Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I support this decision. They have the chance to make things right after Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull. I do hope Shia LeBeouf comes back for continuity's sake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercool Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) just found this with google's help: Steven Spielberg’s Indiana Jones film series is about as racist as film gets. What was masked somewhat with adventure in the first couple films of the series becomes jaw-dropping & bold-faced as the series progresses. “Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom” about India should be considered a classic of racism & studied for its malignancy--& its banality too. It’s the action-packed version of the ‘white people save brown & black people’ genre. Spielberg’s films offer more respectful treatment of extraterrestrials & extinct dinosaurs than other human beings on this planet. If Spielberg was attempting to portray Indian oligarchs, his depiction would be dead on; but instead he portrays ordinary Indian people (in reality politically combative & creative) either sentimentally or as incompetent & servile, in the old stereotype of Asiatic toadyism before authority. Spielberg is of the generation that went through the US Civil Rights movement but somehow he managed to learn nothing. This would explain his films that not only depict but glorify war, his war-mongering in Darfur, his support for Israel, his honorifics from the Pentagon. The racism of his films is not accidental; he has the best (or at least, the highest paid) political consultants in the world. He knows he’s peddling racism & Orientalism. That’s why his films are now more action-packed propaganda than entertainment. In this still from the film, the groveling Indian masses surround the white savior in obsequious gratitude. http://angryarabscommentsection.blogspot.com.es/2012/11/steven-spielbergs-racism.html Edited March 15, 2016 by supercool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) The last one was terrible. Jones having a son. Yeah, Indiana Jones should be retired or use a younger actor. I like Harrison Ford, but he's over 70 and doing all those great stunts would kill him. He was injured during Star Wars. Why take chances? Unless, Jones will only teach college in this one? Why not use Sean Patrick Flannery? He played the young Indiana Jones and he was good. He's only in his 40's now. He could do it. Edited March 15, 2016 by dontdamnmeuyi2015 Forgot to add something.

Silent Jay Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 They're gonna kill him the same way as Star Wars and then introduce us a new young Indiana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I'm sure his age will be taken into consideration and the torch will be passed. It can't be any worse than Crystal Skull! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I hope for no torch-passing. Harrison Ford is Indy, simple as that. I don't want to see a series of Mutt films, nor do I want to see other actors' takes on Indy. It's not like Bond where there was an immediate need to replace Connery early in the franchise's history - Ford has been Indy for 35 years, no one should be allowed near the role besides him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 So will the address the radiation issues Indy was exposed to in Crystal Skull? He must be riddled with cancer by the next film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I hope they don't break continuity, if they move away from Marion and Mutt at least explain it. Even a throwaway "they're at home" would be better than nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just anticipate that being Disney's master plan - for better or for worse. I mean, he'll be 77 when this actually comes out. The man looks good, but knowing Disney they'll want to milk this franchise too. Wasn't their original plan a flat out reboot with a younger actor? Not saying I'd like that either but I can't help but feel it's coming. Maybe they took this alternate approach so there isn't young Han Solo and young Indy at the same time.

DieselDaisy Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) Indiana will be eventually rebooted despite Ford's synonymousness with the role - you people know this as well as I do, Hollywoodland being bereft of ideas and reboot crazy.

People seem to forget but it has been already been rebooted in the past with a different actor P.S. Now that Shia LaBeouf went full Charlie Sheen I want him more than ever to return as the lead of the franchise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
