Not a lot of time, though. "Raiders" was in pre-production while "Empire" was still being shot and "Doom" was being prepared when "Jedi" was in post-production. Episode 7 wrapped filming over a month ago so they could've already started on a new Indy movie if they really wanted to.Grizzlor said:
A new movie could be done between, just like before. "Raiders" started filming a month after "Empire" was released and "Doom" started filming a month before "Jedi" came out. If Disney stopped being so myopic, the cameras could start rolling about a year from now.AndyLGR said:

I had a think about it when I was posting on another forum about the same topic and I think they will want to make one more with Harrison. My reasoning behind that is he is currently on a run of Star Wars followed by Blade Runner 2, big high profile releases leading up to another with Indy 5 possibly.
But the Star Wars schedule could get in the way, especially if Han Solo survives TFA and is due to appear in 7 & 8. But looking at what happened with the time to film the latest SW then I think you're right Stoo and they could squeeze another one with Harrison in.
The interesting thing will be if Disney feel the need to involve Spielberg and Lucas. They don't have to. Arguably after KOTCS it may benefit some new ideas?

I know where you got that line Stoo, ha.
They should make a trilogy and shoot them all at the same time as they did with "Back to the Future" 2 & 3 and the "Lord of the Rings". Squeeze as much as they can from Harrison. Sooner the better, agree with that. Chop, chop
Star Wars, Bladerunner, and Raiders all came out in the same time anyways so it can happen again. That was one of my favourite periods in cinema and I can't believe it might repeat itself.

Yes, it's true, I got it from Gerry-baby on a Skype call shortly after the Lucasfilm purchase and used his analogy here right away because it was so perfect. That was 2 years ago (see: this post), before even knowing my buddy had secretly joined The Raven!Wouldn't that be nuts if each of the 3 new entries came out in the same order as 1980-82? It would be like our early teen years all over again, except without braces and less hair!Gerry2001 said:They should make a trilogy and shoot them all at the same time as they did with "Back to the Future" 2 & 3 and the "Lord of the Rings".

Agreed, with the emphasis on "could" because I was pointing out scheduling possibilities (rather than probabilities). It could be done...but likely won't.AndyLGR said:

Why would "Star Wars" be used as a measuring stick when Ep. 7 is going to be a $ure-fire money-making $en$ation even if it stinks?Grizzlor said:
I don't see the connection because Indy & Star Wars are 2 different series. Imagine the Disney board of execs saying, "If this new Star Wars movie doesn't deliver big, there's no way in hell we're going to make THX-1138.2 and Even More American Graffiti!"

Agreed, Ep 7 is going to make a **** load of money, you only have to look at The Phantom Menace to see that a not so good Star Wars movie will still make a fortune.Stoo said:Why would "Star Wars" be used as a measuring stick when Ep. 7 is going to be a $ure-fire money-making $en$ation even if it stinks?

But I would have thought they could use the momentum that Harrison will gain with Ep7 to push a new Indy movie too, thats unless they are concerned about him getting bad reviews in ep 7 and thats what they are waiting for?
But surely KOTCS did enough money to show that even a very average Indy money can still do good box office?

At least there's no talk of recasting.TheFedora said:
To be fair, the interview doesn't really give ans answer either way. If Disney has the rights now then it's Kathleen who would be in the know.

I think he may be holding back or they must have the most boring marriage ever! Can you imagine it over dinner 'I'm sorry frank I am not allowed to talk to you about indy but hey I am allowed to tell you all about star wars'. Frank 'ok dear. pass the salt'.

You're comment shows both the lack of understanding concerning the mystery of what it means to be married, and the business standard of what an NDA is.
