Indiana Jones and the Death of a Legend?


It has been announced/mentioned that Steven Spielberg and George Lucas are in fact penning a script for Indiana Jones 5. Harrison Ford together with these 2 men in stated interviews after Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was released that if there was good enough script developed for another film that they would definitely do it. Sooner rather than later because they ‘aren’t getting any younger. Which is definitely true, evidence in this is George Lucas’ film’s heading majorly downhill from the 80s and Spielberg’s allowance of CGI aliens in Indy 4. I didn’t mind the storyline of aliens, it was the 1950s after all – Area 51 and alien conspiracies were common to the era. I didn’t even mind the skeleton alien, but the very unnecessary CGI alien was awful. It completely took away from the whole concept of doing everything (special effects-wise) traditionally to keep with the previous 3 films. That combined with Mutt swinging through the trees like some sort of greasy Tarzan was ridiculous and brought the film down for me. But I focused on the man himself, Harrison Ford – and his excellent reprisal of a role he hadn’t touched in cinema for 20-odd years was excellent.

So I am interested in Indy 5, but I swear to god if they even hint at Mutt taking over from Indy I will die on the inside – its called INDIANA JONES, I don’t care if Mutt is Henry Jones the 3rd and therefore has his father’s name his chosen name isn’t INDIANA and will severely cough Lucas cough hurt someone if Indy gets shoved into the sidekick role that his own father was in The Last Crusade. Although the likeliness of this happening is remote, George Lucas did propose the idea but later retracted his statement going on to state the obvious; "Harrison Ford is Indiana Jones, no Harrison means no Indy"
