Indy's brother
New member
With the role as a producer, I don't think that would get in his way too much. I think the biggest hurdle for an Indy 5 is that it seems like the only people interested in making it are the cast.
Túrin Turambar said:And Harrison is going to be 71 soon. 5 years have passed since indy 4, i dont think it will happen now.
Dene said:New Kathleen Kennedy interview, primarily about Lincoln but LucasFilm is mentioned towards the end as is a certain action-adventure franchise which doesn't sound to be finished with yet .
Mickiana said:Well, that is the most promising tidbit we've heard in a while.
I for one have certainly accepted that it's over as far as Harrison Ford is concerned; but I seriously doubt if cinema has seen the last of Indiana Jones.Dr. Gonzo said:I guess I'm going to be a stick in the mud...
what was so promising about that statement?
It's the same general blanket statement, rife with un-iformation, that we've been getting from Lucasfilm for the past 5 years.
Doesn't change Harrison's age, Spielberg's disinterest or the non-existent Script/story.
Come on folks I thought you were all finally coming to grips with the reality.
It's over and done.

"One project that could reunite them would be a fifth Indiana Jones, but Spielberg is clear: "I will not make another Indiana Jones film unless it's based on George's story." Lucas intends for that to happen, says Spielberg, though the timetable is unclear -- the gap between the previous two movies was 19 years. "Kathy and I will figure out some way to work together again," he says, before adding, as if counting the days, "She has a five-year contract."
Mickiana said:It could be a trail of crumbs that leads somewhere!
You & I have more chance of Indy 5 appearances as actors than ShiaMontana Smith said:By which time Harrison will be 75, and Shia will be sporting a brand new fedora.
Could be food poisoning!

Kernunnos said:I trust Disney to do something that does the older Indy justice, and I'm sure they wont think he needs an irritating young sidekick, or 'comical' (ha ha) CGI furries to make the film appealing to the younger generation.
Montana Smith said:But without them how many children are going to get excited about an old guy who can no longer feasibly do the things he was famous for?
Old Indy is a niche market, so it was no wonder Disney didn't 'put any value' on him when they scooped up the forever child-friendly Star Wars cash cow.
Kernunnos said:I don't know if it's such a niche market. We all know how much KOTCS grossed at the box office, and I don't think that movie really caught the imagination of younger people. I was 32 when that film came out, and I must have been the youngest person in the cinema when I went to see it. Honestly.
It goes without saying that not everyone who goes to the cinema is under 25, and I'd go so far as to say that that age group is actually less likely to go to the cinema than older generations.
