Like it or not it looks as if
Indiana Jones is returning to the big screen.
Empire Magazine have posted some quotes from a recent interview with
George Lucas,
Steven Spielberg and
Harrison Ford which are very interesting indeed....
"We're basically going to do The Phantom Menace. People's expectations are way higher than you can deliver. You could just get killed for the whole thing... We would do it for fun and just take the hit with the critics and the fans" says Lucas."Then Harrison really wanted to do it and Steve said, "Okay". I said... with Spielberg adding "Hopefully it will be different in all the right ways and the same in all the familiar ways"."There's a good chance it will happen. There are things left for this character to do" says Ford, whilst a mid-2007 start of shooting date is scheduled (which would put the film on course for a Summer 2008 release"). So it looks as if Harrison Ford will be returning as Indiana Jones after all. I don't think he can pull it off any longer, he is way to old to play the part. Even if they do play Indy at the age that Harrison is now, what would be the point? As much as I love the original trilogy and have watched it like a thousand times, I don't want to see them do what Lucas did to
Star Wars and make some half-assed movies. I do like the new Star Wars trilogy, at least some parts of it, but to be honest I really wish they didn't exist. So are you for or aganist a new Indiana Jones movie? We had mixed responses from the casting couch on who should play Indy but some did think Harrison could still pull it off. I think they should just leave it be. The words of
Sean Connery in
The Last Crusade come to mind "Let it go Indy, let it go". source -
