Adventure-Treff

Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford are teaming up for a brand new Indiana Jones film, which is set to hit theaters on July 19, 2019! While we don’t know much about the project yet, we do know that Harrison Ford will be reprising his role, and franchise veterans Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall are attached to produce.

“Indiana Jones is one of the greatest heroes in cinematic history, and we can’t wait to bring him back to the screen in 2019,” said Alan Horn, Chairman, The Walt Disney Studios. “It’s rare to have such a perfect combination of director, producers, actor and role, and we couldn’t be more excited to embark on this adventure with Harrison and Steven.”

Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger has announced plans to make more 'Indiana Jones' movies.

A fifth film in the franchise starring Harrison Ford as the titular archaeologist is already in development and the 65-year-old chairman insists there will be more adventures for the whip-wielding character, with or without Ford.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Iger revealed: "Right now, we're focused on a reboot, or a continuum and then a reboot of some sort."

Iger confirmed that Ford, 73, will definitely be reprising the role for the next movie - which is scheduled for a 2019 release with Steven Spielberg on board to direct - and will carry on from 2008 film 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'.

He said: "We [got] Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones in the film. But then what's the direction? I've had discussions about what the direction is, [but] I don't want to get into it."

Although Iger doesn't expect the 'Indiana Jones' franchise to ever be as big as 'Star Wars' - which Disney bought the rights to and has brought back with 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' which starred Ford as Han Solo once again - he sees a bright future for the iconic Hollywood character.

He said: "Yes, I do [see making more films] I don't think it reaches the scale of the universe of 'Star Wars', but I see making more. It won't be just a one-off."

Though Spielberg kept his lips tightly sealed on the project in his cover interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he did reveal one major detail: “The one thing I will tell you is I’m not killing off Harrison [Ford] at the end of it.”

Phew! The fear that Ford might get killed off was far from paranoia—just look at what happened when his other iconic franchise character came back for a reboot last winter. And hard as it was to watch, that decision made narrative sense: it’s a tough pill to swallow, but Harrison Ford is now 73 years old. As we saw in The Force Awakens, the actor still has strong action chops—but as franchises transition from one generation to the next, it’s natural for the old guard to pass the torch.

Of course, behind the scenes, there’s another factor at work: Ford himself. One of the big differences between Han Solo and Indiana Jones is Ford’s own attitudes toward both—and while Ford famously argued to kill Solo off in Return of the Jedi, he never made any such argument about Indy.

In fact, Ford has expressed an attachment to Dr. Jones—one that makes you wonder if he’d be quite as cavalier about that character’s life. In 2008, the actor told Vanity Fair that the adventurer always feels like a perfect fit for him: “The minute I put the costume on, I recognize the tone that we need, and I feel confident and clear about the character.”

So even when it’s time for Ford to turn in his hat and whip—and turn the franchise over to a successor—there’s a good chance we’ll see Indiana Jones ride off into the sunset rather than face a heart-wrenching death.

During a press roundtable event for The BFG, the film's director Spielberg revealed that Lucas will be an executive producer on Indiana Jones 5, returning to the character he and Spielberg last brought to the big screen in 2008's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

When asked about Lucas's involvement with the project, Spielberg said:

"George is gonna to be an executive producer on it with me. ... I would never make an Indiana Jones film without George Lucas. That'd be insane."

It shouldn't come as a surprise that Spielberg will make the film with input from Lucas. After all, the pair have successfully worked together on every Indiana Jones flick, creating one of the film world's great adventure heroes. How much input he'll have as an executive producer remains to be seen, though given the pair's close friendship, we suspect Lucas will at least provide advice during the development stage.
