Indiana Jones 5 getting underway

Martin Anderson


Harrison Ford says that Indy 5 is getting off the starting blocks...

Published on Nov 21, 2008

In an interview with MTV, Harrison Ford has revealed that Spielberg, Lucas and himself are actively pursuing Indiana Jones 5 after the $800 million clean-up at the box-office for Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull this summer.

Josh Horowitz's interview arrives at Indy 5 towards the end:

-----------------

MTV: Is the ball in George Lucas' court at this point?

Ford: It is. That's the process. With some general input, he goes off and searches for the MacGuffin and then stumbles into a story. And at some point, we have a chance to take a look at it and give some input.

MTV: And he hasn't found the MacGuffin yet?

Ford: No, we're still in the primary stages.

MTV: The end of the last film leaves your character in a very intriguing position. He has a wife and a kid. Can he still be that man of adventure with those commitments?

Ford: And he's seen something. Remember those are the only witnesses to what he's seen. That's kind of interesting.

-----------------

It's a great chat, with Ford talking about the criticism of his advancing years when playing Indiana Jones, and you can find it here.

Also fascinating the idea that what Ford, Karen Allen and Shia LaBeouf saw in the concluding minutes of Crystal Skull could be haunting them at a political level, and an opportunity perhaps for some more of the tin-foil hat political commentary that made Emperor Palpatine's election in Revenge Of The Sith such fun.

Very interesting. It's not even worth getting worried or grouchy about another cynical sequel - my inner fanboy is screaming "Indy: yay!" The remark about how Lucas searches for the MacGuffin first is very interesting...

You think by now, Lucas would think of something new. I mean, COME ON! Seven "Star Wars" movies, five "Indiana Jones" movies, and countless spinoffs! I'm getting sick of it! Can't the guy do something more along the lines of his earlier work "American Graffiti", which was GREAT.
