That's a terrible option it would be worse than just making the film with an old Harrison & filming around that like they did on BR2049 + TFALambonius said:That said, I want to see a Ford framing narrative for a younger actor taking on the role of a younger Indy in his prime. It's the best option.

IndyForever said:Spielberg effectively had an unlimited budget with Lucas as he was paying for everything & Lucas, Spielberg & Ford all took no salary upfront just all the profits on the backend so the budget allowed them to spend $185M on KOTCS which was a massive budget in 2008 even with them paying ILM base cost as Lucas still owned them as well. Disney are different they own the franchise so budgets have to be set & kept to. The last Spielberg directed hit was KOTCS but apart from that his directing track record is very weak since 2008 onwards most of his films are commercial failures as they are mainly vanity projects.

Speak for yourself.Udvarnoky said:having Ford sidelined in his own movie isn't going to satisfy anybody.
I don't see why having a younger actor play Indy in flashback scenes would necessarily mean damaging the movie.Udvarnoky said:There's no reason to deliver 50% of an Indiana Jones 5.

It worked great in TLC, and nobody felt it wasn't 100% an Indiana Jones instalment.
Just for the sake of argument, let's assume that Ford and the new actor get equal screen time.Udvarnoky said:The term "framing narrative" was specifically used. That implies more than a prologue sequence.
Z dweller said:Just for the sake of argument, let's assume that Ford and the new actor get equal screen time.
I don't see how anyone can be sure that it would automatically, de facto damage the movie.
It all depends on how it's done, and of course on how good the new actor is.
But it may well turn out to be a complete success, which satisfies the vast majority of viewers. Why not?

seasider said:Spielberg didn't have free reign with Lucas either. If he did, he would've done the movie based on Frank Darabont's script and not have a movie about aliens and Indy climbing into a fridge.
You are not superstitious, clearly.Face_Palm said:Indy 6 can be more of a 60% Ford, 40% new Indy split.
Indy 7 and onwards Star the new Indy and Harrison reprises the role until his dying day bookending the films.
I actually think that, barring an absolute screenwriting masterpiece, 76+ Ford starring guarantees that it's not really going to look and feel like an Indiana Jones movie.Udvarnoky said:I never used the word "damage." I was suggesting that it's wasteful to take the final (and shrinking) opportunity to have Ford star in one more Indiana Jones movie and squander it by making the movie half a reboot. You're getting the reboot anyway. Focus on making Indy 5 the best Indy 5 it can be, then focus on the reboot when that time comes.
This project is risky enough without throwing extra qualifiers at it.
I am disappointed as well but Spielberg usually DOES TWO Films a year and films really fast. Hopefully after West Side Story Indy Is right after?Silvor said:sigh, I was really hoping Spielberg would tackle Indy 5 next.
He really doesn't seem to be in any kind of rush to get it made.
Then again it could be so many things, like the script not actually being ready yet. Still disappointing.
Maybe there's still a chance it could shoot later this year?
