'Indiana Jones’ to return with Ford and Spielberg

[brooklynite]

Miami Herald:

NEW YORK - “Indiana Jones” is swinging back into theaters with Harrison Ford reprising the iconic role and Steven Spielberg directing.

The Walt Disney Co. announced Tuesday that the fifth film in the action adventure series will open July 19, 2019. The last “Indiana Jones” movie was 2008’s poorly received “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” which co-starred Shia LaBeouf as Indiana’s son. It followed a nearly 20-year gap in the franchise after 1989’s “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.”

Another “Indiana Jones” film has long been rumored, occasionally with whispers of different actors taking over the role from the 73-year-old Ford. But Spielberg has repeatedly insisted Ford would never be replaced. The actor’s return as his famous fedora-wearing archaeologist comes shortly after reprising his equally iconic Han Solo in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”

4. Best if Ford serves as a Marcus Brody

type of character.

Recast his son as a serious actor - actually I would prefer a daughter.

Era would be around 1972.

Actually the more I think about it, the more I think they should just leave it alone. Pretend the 4th movie did not happen.

Southpark had it right.

I would like to remember Indy and his dad and Marcus riding off into the sunset at the end of The Last Crusade.

5. Indiana Jones and the Wheel of Fortune. Indiana Jones and the Early Bird Special.

The titles write themselves.
