Indiana Jones 5 "news"?

Dust off the fedora and clear out the snakes – Indiana Jones is ready to ride again.

Harrison Ford, 67, says he's already ready for the globe-trotting archaeologist's next adventure, only a year after one of history's most successful film franchises was revived – and that the next chapter is already well on its way.

"The story for the new Indiana Jones is in the process of taking form," Ford told France's Le Figaro. "Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and myself are agreed on what the fifth adventure will concern, and George is actively at work. If the script is good, I'll be very happy to put the costume on again."

The screen legend was on hand to accept a career honor at the Deauville Film Festival, with partner Calista Flockhart on his arm.

In June, while promoting Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Shia LaBouef – who plays Indiana Jones' son, Mutt – told the BBC, "Steven's just said that he's cracked the story."

Domestic Duties

But until it's again time to fight Nazis and Stalinists and overcome the supernatural, Ford says he's happy to be a simple househusband.

"I do the dishes. And I make dinner," he said. "In the mornings, I get my 8-year-old son, Liam ready for school, and then I pass my time flying around in my planes. You see, I'm just like anybody else. My children are between 8 and 42, and I'm also a grandfather."

Though he's got Indy in the works and two films (Morning Glory and The Crowley Project) set for release next year, Ford says there's one stereotypical actor's ambition he's happy to leave alone.

"[Directing]'s too hard, too long, and it doesn't pay enough!" he joked. "To be a good filmmaker is the hardest job in the world. I'm not patient enough. And I don't want to be the boss."


I don't know if this qualifies as actual news LOL but there ya go
 
It seems like bits of old news slapped together to make a filler-article.

As was my take on Indy 4, I'll believe Indy 5 is happening when I see the trailer.
 
As George has his way with the last film, Steven and Harrison will have their way with the fifth film. This one will get done sooner rather than later.
 
...and then I pass my time flying around in my planes. You see, I'm just like anybody else.

I know that's how I pass my time. I certainly hope that's some of the usual Harrison Ford dry humour.

As for Indy 5...good God, please, I beg you...no.

Unless, that is, they decide to make a good one this time.
 
Well, I enjoyed the last one (Yeah, I'm the one :lol:).

So, I'm hopeful for Indy 5... I'd love to see a 1960's adventure.

So would I, and I loved the last one as well. I don't think that a '60's adventure would work, although of course, I could be wrong.

I'd love to see Indy and Mutt take on a SPECTRE/THRUSH/HYDRA- type organization, in search of a object called the Solar Grail that's from another world (yeah, more alien stuff-the aincient stuff been done to death). It would have to be an early to mid '60's adventure, though.
 
He will be dead before the 5th one is ever made, but they will still make a 5th one anyways.


Prompting George Lucas to unveil CGI Harrison Ford

His Conan Obrien interview last year was hilarious

"I don't need to this, i'm rich"
 
George Lucas is a fine storyteller. He just needs to stay away from dialogue and directing.

Lucas threw out an excellent Frank Darabont screenplay for Indy 4 and replaced it with an incoherent mess. To me, that means his storytelling judgment is questionable at best.
 
I've always thought a Phantom/Indy team up would be interesting...
At work today, we were kicking around the idea that in the 50s and 60s, Indy might have known some of the B.P.R.D. agents. Maybe he wouldn't have met Hellboy, but I could see Indy and Abe Sapien.
 
Fantastic. I liked the fourth film and loved Old Indy, so I've been hoping for a sequel for a while.

My point with George Lucas being a fine storyteller is that the stories that he does come up with are still pretty good and entertaining. His story outline for Indy 4 is what Darabont's and David Koepp's scripts were based on. How they fleshed it out is a different discussion.

As for comparing the two scripts...I dunno. Both have pretty much the same plot line, many of the same action sequences (fridge, ants, etc), and many of the same things that people complained about with the filmed movie (swinging on vines).

Some of the stuff in the script that bugged me was that it read at times little too much like fan fiction. Way too many winks and nods. Also, in a very odd twist, Indy is not afraid of snakes. That kinda threw me.

I didn't care much for Indy having to steal the idol again or the very generic villain characters, but on the other hand, I did like that the script featured more Marian.

In short, if the movie was filmed with this script, I think people would still be divided over the movie.
