And this is something these "Harry still looks good" folks don't seem to get. Yes, it could be agreed that he could still pull it off, if filming started tomorrow. But, alas... it's not going to start tomorrow. Or not even next week. Or in some other reasonably short timeframe. And it's not even news, really. Been very clear for quite a while now.

Grizzlor said:Nothing in his comment proves that either way. The head of the studio is not going to confirm/deny a film's development status in a public sit down chat.
This, pretty much. While there's enough writing on the wall stating that they intend to do something with the IP sometime in the future, there's no way they could have something concrete going on and keep it under wraps.Pale Horse said:Twitter? MTV Movie awards? North Korean hacking scandal? There's no way in today's meta-connected world that a highly coveted property could be genuinely shielded.
Sony's security was notably abysmal, while Lucasfilm kept Strange Magic secret until 2 months before release. The searchable internet is still just the surface of an ocean.Pale Horse said:There's no way in today's meta-connected world that a highly coveted property could be genuinely shielded.

Probably. Maybe the project sat on the shelf until a lull to keep people employed. I wouldn't call it ill conceived: it should at least look good like Rango. Lucas always aimed a few grade levels younger than the rest and it's usually paid off. Maybe it will grow into a cultural touchstone like Nightmare Before Christmas and in 15 years theater students will still be wearing the merchandise... well there goes my credibility.Le Saboteur said:re: Strange Magic
January and February are dump months. It's going to really, really suck
Moedred said:But seriously. Strange Magic was Lucas' last project as Lucasfilm CEO. He was the biggest hindrance to Indy feature story development from 1992-2012 and he's been replaced by Indy producers. It's a good time to be optimistic.
This is very naive. Just because someone sees a trailer in advance doesn't automatically mean they know everything. Distribution employees regularly see trailers before the public. It may seem like an "insider" with "legit leaks" to you...but it's not.TheFedora said:From an insider who's been right abotu some star wars and JW things...
Indiana jones 5.
Supposedly 2 more movies. With Ford.
----
To be clear, he leaked some Terminator Genisys trailer images, plus a terminator genisys trailer description as well. Paramount was sending cease and desists to sites to take them down. I call that legit leaks.
He also leaked some shots of 'chappie' and gave a jurassic world trailer description. (Which was how i found the guy)
"For now"? This is a status quo because the situation hasn't changed. The same thing was said over 2 years ago.TheFedora said:The Author of these tweets is a journalist for Variety. Indy 5 is clearly off the table for now.
Perhaps...but playing smart = playing nice.TheFedora said:That wasn't very nice...
"Star Wars" taking precedence over Indiana Jones is not news...and you also started a thread about an incorrect "Variety" report. It's appreciated that you want to drop bits of info but don't do it just for the sake of doing it (without any basis other than: "I'm a popcorn-munching, sci-fi movie-goer participating in the rumour mill").TheFedora said:Also, I may have been misguided in trusting that guy, but Variety is a legitimate source, I've heard. And much more legitimate then that other random twitter guy. But what Variety said seems to be the case that SW is getting priority over Indy, and right now the big news magazines are only just now realizing that because they spent the last 2 days only focusing on the star wars news.

We already know Star Wars will release first. Why on earth would he announce Indy 5 in a interview?
