Good to be back, so psyched about the news of Indy 5. With George out of the way I think we will see a great film, although I am still worried of the screen writer since he also wrote Crystal Skull. 
I have a feeling Indy is going to pass the hat and whip to a younger prodigy at the end of the film. If they stay with the time line Crystal Skull will be over ten years old when we get the new film, so it would take place in the 60's. I hope they stick with this time line.

Lucas created our beloved character...and he is not to blame for most of the bad aspects of "Skull" so your comments are absurd. Maybe you want to see Indy 5 featuring MORE of Spielberg's goofy ideas (especially those that George rejected for being too silly)? Keep in mind that there are Disney executives at the helm now and this does not bode well for a "great" Indiana Jones film. Expect a watered-down, 'Indy-light' movie that every little girl around the world can enjoy.
Paraphrasing Lambonius' post: "Please, George Lucas, keep Disney as far away from this as possible."

I don't think Disney will ruin it, by watering it down. Last Crusade and KOTC were PG-13, and Disney has been involved in PG-13 productions (Interestingly, Temple of Doom was rated PG.... perhaps rating system has changed since then).

Yep. Never forget that it was Spielberg's whose first thought on hearing George's suggestion that the hero carries a bullwhip is that he can whip the other guy's pants to make them fall down.
Without Lucas, I'd suspect that the mythological side of the story will suffer.

The PG-13 rating was created in no small part due to Temple of Doom itself, I believe.

Maybe yes, maybe no. Spielberg will certainly offer ideas (some good, some bad) and competently direct the film. I'd like to think whoever else Disney puts on the team understands the series well enough to dial back some of those dumber ideas and help Indy maintain some of his gravitas.

What exactly constitutes confirmation bias in that statement?
curmudgeon said:
Not to put word's straight into the Horse's mouth, but excitement isn't a sure thing as written. Even "looks forward" doesn't necessarily imply anything other than temporal position; Indy V is literally something that's going to happen in the future.
Spielberg never says A) he's excited or B) that he's looking forward...
Journalism is dying.
Yes, the movie is happening. I was wrong about that. But damnit if every sound bite from here on out won't be spun into some wunderlust of nirvana. Didn't we learn from the last one ?

Ah, but some on here liked it, Horsie, and are exceedingly vocal about it.Pale Horse said:
I'm definitely not one of them, in fact I'd be much happier if neither Spielberg or Ford were involved at all with the next movie, and have toned down my expectations accordingly.
But make no mistake, Disney are in this for the long run, which means future movies will be set in the 1920s and 30s with a younger actor wearing the fedora and looking for fortune and glory. Back to Indy's roots.
And that, my friend, is definitely something to look forward to.

With experience comes wisdom. I agree.
But as Indy says, "...archaeology is the search for facts, not truth."
I merely contend that when we post updates to Indy V, we should post facts, not speculation or laudative assumptions.
Or create a separate thread about "feelings" on Indy V.

You get a pass. That's hilarious. But I do like his latest project.
Sorry if t his was posted already. Spielberg recently told Empire magazine, they have found the Macguffin for Indy 5. Of course we have no idea yet what that is, but we'll take any breadcrumb of info we can get. Lol.
