Lucas, Ford to Start Filming New Indiana Jones Film
Alchemist253 writes "George Lucas has announced that the script for the long-rumored fourth Indiana Jones film has been finalized and is to begin filming this year, with Harrison Ford once again in front of the camera. From the article: 'In a statement, the 64-year-old Ford said he was ready for another turn as the globe-trotting archaeologist. "I'm delighted to be back in business with my old friends," he said. "I don't know if the pants still fit, but I know the hat will."' All three of the earlier movies were shot in the 80s. How well do you think this character is going to translate into a movie made today?
Or see it, then pretend it never happened. Just like I did with the Highlander series...
What are you talking about? Highlander was good... but H2: The Quickening was amazing. Mulcahy's view of the future intertwined with the Highlander saga made for outstanding and highly entertaining cinema. Thought provoking even.
H3 was ok... Morahan's direction wasn't as crisp and insightful as Mulcahy's. But the script was good.
This will be similar to Never Say Never Again, when Sean Connery returned as an old-ass James Bond, making Roger Moore look better than ever.
Is it really going to be called Indiana Jones and the Ravages of Time? They are right about the 'ravages of time'.
Harrison Ford sure looks over sixty these days. Maybe they can bring back Sean Connery for this one too, and bring other about-to-die actors as his colleagues. (Is Ed Asner really still alive?)
Has anyone seen the script?
