Harrison Ford’s Signed Up To A New ‘Indiana Jones’ Movie, Because That Went So Well Last Time
Pictured (l-r): the new Indiana Jones movie, and its likely critical reception.
Remember this thing?
We’re getting another one.
Disney released the following statement earlier today:
“Indiana Jones will return to the big screen on July 19, 2019, for a fifth epic adventure in the blockbuster series. Steven Spielberg, who directed all four previous films, will helm the as-yet-untitled project with star Harrison Ford reprising his iconic role. Franchise veterans Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall will 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.”
“I’d love to do another Indiana Jones,” Ford told Entertainment Weekly a few months ago. “You know, an audience being there that has enjoyed the films, a character that has a history and a potential, kind of a rollicking good movie ride for the audience, Steven Spielberg as a director — what’s not to like?”
“What’s not to like?” I dunno, the prospect of another Nuke The Fridge moment?
At least they didn’t replace him with Shia LaBeouf. Please, let there be no Shia LaBeouf.
