Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny | June 30 2023 | Very mixed reviews out of Cannes

[John Marston]

why can't Shia return? He is still acting. If they don't want him they will likely just ignore his character

Date, director, star... and even if we don't know the official title, at least it's not "Untitled Paramount Tentpole".

 

There are a bunch of titles in the On the Lot section that also have those pieces of info, and they are 2017 and 2018 titles.

His character is important IMO. Almost wouldn't make sense to continue, or finish, without the character. And I don't see how this can't be a definitive passing of the torch, I mean the last one was probably meant to be that but Shia's antics and the poor reception have forced Disney to do it again.

I guess point me in their direction and we'll take a look whether they should get moved to. IMO, On the Lot is essentially for projects in development, or for projects that (to date) are mere release date holders.

Wait, were you the one who moved this to the main section and back here? lol

 

We are now On the Lot again. I bumped some titles. Kindly just see them.

As a fan of the 4th, I am glad Spielberg & Ford are making another one. Will be interesting to see Indy in the 60s. 

[Chewy]

George Lucas doesn't make movies anymore, 15 years of the entire internet shitting on a person would break anyone

[Plain Old Tele]

Poor George. Maybe they can give him an executive producer credit, just to keep it all in the family.

[cannastop]

This sounds absolutely laughable. Harrison Ford is just too old to be Indiana Jones.

[Chewy]

It is actually really depressing to think of all the people who obsessively love Star Wars but HATE GEORGE LUCAS' GUTS because he made a bad prequel trilogy

 

But I guess it fits with the us vs them/RT score circlejerk/zero nuance in discussion monster that movie fandom has become

Harrison Ford IS Indiana Jones. So if he is old, then Indiana Jones is then old.

Well, then. Indiana Jones might be too old to be in a movie.

[Fancyarcher]

Eh, I'm okay with this. I didn't mind KOTCS, and I'm worried Ford might be too old for the role, but as long as they give Indiana Jones a good ending, I'm game.

[Plain Old Tele]

The "old man has to step out of retirement one last time to make things right" is one of the great all-time story concepts.

[Jack Nevada]

aaaaaaAAAAAH fuck.

It's not the years, it's the mileage.

 

Ford has lots of mileage left.
