The other thing I was thinking is they could do prequels.

Abner Ravenwood for example. Maybe a reboot of Young Indiana Jones. But more than likely there's going to be a torch passed to someone else.

 

[SirTerry-T]

I think the movie looks really fun. Like I said before, I just hope they don't insert all this wokeness into it.

But then again I like every Indiana Jones movie including the fourth one. I can't stand Shia Labeouf but otherwise I liked it and I actually really enjoyed the story.

I also really liked the video games especially Infernal Machine and Emperor's Tomb. I also own the Atlantis game on GOG but I haven't got around to playing it yet and never played it before.

Play Fate Of Atlantis right now!
Best Indy story never made into a film

He also directed Kate and Leopold. As well as the wolverine which was just okay. He's not infallible.

That said I have hopes for this. Name is silly.

I liked The Wolverine. It was a fantastic video game sidequest movie.

I think people aren’t aware that The Wolverine is a different movie from X-Men: Origins Wolverine.

One is a shit movie that ruined Deadpool, the other is an R-rated adaptation of the Wolverine in Japan story.

True. I thought The Wolverine was a good B superhero film and it was fun to see Logan dealing with a story that wasn't necessarily about the X-men or Sabertooth. If only Marvel had done the same with some of Steve Rodgers' Captain America adventures, because it felt like all of his movies bridged directly into crossover movies or Avengers movies.

(It’s John Williams’ final film score)

 

[0neAnd0nly]

Is this another franchise that brought in Phoebe Waller Bridge to "update it for modern audiences"?

I can not stand when she is attached to films, her writing specifically is pretty abysmal.

I am a mega fan of Indy so there is virtually nothing that would keep me from this day one but so help if PWB say "mansplaining" in this film I will fucking shit a brick and burn my fedora, whip, leather jacket, gas mask satchel, epalet button down shirt, wool pants, and.....well, maybe spare the Aldens.

I liked your comment because of Alden mention.

Alden for life.

 

[Davey Cakes]

I'll never say anything bad about Phoebe Waller-Bridge after the masterpiece that is Fleabag.

 

[jason10mm]

Run Indy, run!!!

I don't think anyone in this thread is confusing those two movies. Mangold's The Wolverine was just ok, as others have mentioned already. It wouldn't be anywhere near my Top 10 comic book movies of all time.

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

It looks horrible.

They're making the same mistakes of the trash Crystal Skull here: indy looks ridiculous putting on his old outfit and handling the whip at his age; there are _way_ too many vehicle fight scenes with people looking like cartoon characters jumping between cars and other ridiculous stunts; the whole ruse of "Indy is getting old" is immediately replaced with him trying to do his old schtick again, looking as much of a joke as post-90s Mick Jagger.

You remember how his dad Sean Connery looked in the original films? He was well-dressed, but a bit no-nonsense and clearly a man of his age. Indiana should be like that in old years. We should see him actually become a kind of patriarch, not an old man putting on his classic outfit as if he doesn't look ridiculous.

 

[RainblowDash]

Dial of Destiny? Are we looking for an old rotary phone or something? At the climax of the film, the antagonist chooses the shiny new iPhone and dies while Indy chooses the shitty old model which turns out to be the correct choice?

I'm guessing it's this thing at 00:50, some sort of combination of an astrolabe and a sextant:

 

[sw0mp_d0nk3y]

Is time travel confirmed? I really hope its just extended flashbacks to the 40's rather than time travel. I thought aliens was a terrible choice for Indy too though, and was correct.

 

[Melon Husk]

HOT TAKES

-Indiana Jones by the necromages at Disney... "eh" is all I can say.

-Dial of Destiny is a dumb name.

-Very likely it will be an improvement over Crystal Skull, but that's a low bar to beat.

-Rose Byrne would have been great 10+ years ago, as a sidekick. Phoebe Waller-Bridge, now, nah.

 

[Melon Husk]

Maybe they are still looking at JJ Abrams & Lost for inspiration:

 

[12Goblins]

Somehow that looks even worse than I expected

 

[Badlucktroll]

Is the Dial of Destiny based off any real life counterpart? All the movies except maybe Temple of Doom (I don't know if the Sankara Stones have any basis in reality) have magical items based off of real life counterparts whether it be the Ark of the Covenant, the Holy Grail or Crystal Skull.

The movie looks fun and I have some hope. I just hope they don't wokify it.

People think the dial of destiny is refering to the antikythera mechanism, which is a handheld orrery that atropos used to change the fates of her sisters

 

[jason10mm]

Thats a predictive device, but perhaps they are using it to alter the past without having to actually go there, i.e. there is no "old Indy hiding from young(er) Indy in the 50's" (aka the BTTF problem) rather old indy modifying events that we see as flashbacks with a deaged indy that have ramifications on the "current time" (whenever the film is actually set). That seems rather high concept for an Indy film but it might work.

Wasn't there a leak that showed a picture of Roman or Greek soldiers in the new movie?

 

[rofif]

OUCH at the horse harison ford. It's like a polar express. First scene. 2nd looks like a double

Yes, and i bet Mads wants to use that thing to mess with the stars to change hitlers fate

What's funny is that de-aging tech actually helps age a movie faster. It barely ever holds up.

Well the stuff they did in the Star Wars movies looked bad the day it came out. Not de-aging I guess but face mapping. Leiah looked especially off in her movies. Luke looks off too in the tv show.

 

[ManaByte]

Luke looks off too in the tv show.

Luke was bad in Mandalorian.

Luke in Book of Boba Fest was perfect, and they used that same tech for Indy.



It's ILM's version of DeepFake that uses video data instead of just still photos.

I still think there is an off texture in the skin.

 

[Pegasus Actual]

One of these days deep fakes and AI should lead to some awesome shit (right before they destroy civilization).

I'm guessing this isn't going to be that awesome shit, I thusly dub this movie "The Dildo of Destiny".

Maybe just from a visual standpoint but AI generated voices still lack many subtle nuances from real actors.

Or, they could have just used Sebastian Stan.

 

[TaylorSwiftFan]

So according to John Williams they are shooting another ending. I wonder what they are planning to change.

"Old man, loose lips" strikes again, eh?

No matter the reason for rescoring it will only feed speculation.

Well he says it’s for a new ending.

Happy they CGIed it just to trigger the Anti CGI Crowd

 

[jason10mm]

Sure, but what does that mean? If they added a 30 second scene of Indy saying goodbye to Sallah then he would have to rescore.

If they reshot the ENTIRE ending to remove PWB, dressed in the entire Indy costume, dancing a jig on his grave while flipping the bird to the audience and instead are going to have old Indy ride off I to the sunset, well, that's still "I gotta rescore the new ending".

So Imma gonna take this with a grain of salt. At best they might be responding to fan pressure, which, TBH can lead to a mixed bag in the end, or it's just part of the plan.

Knowing Hollywood, it’s probably the second one. Plus, it’s Lucas films - we’ve seen what they’ve done to Star Wars and Willow.

 

[AJUMP23]

Thinking about it now, it should be titled, "Indiana Jones: Death without Dignity".

Sounded a lot like a 90 year old man talking about how there were already two endings to Indy (Last Crusade, Crystal Skull) and talking about the third before playing music from the first "ending" to the series (he was playing the motorcycle chase from Last Crusade).

 

[Evil Calvin]

Terrible title!

 

[Xenon]

Considering the rumor was right about time travel, something that was well beyond the scope of "magic" in the earlier movies, I think there is a good chance the rest was true.

I have to admit I will be disappointed if they change the ending. The chances of this being any thing better than 'not that bad' are pretty remote. I think the shit show surrounding that ending and people's reaction to it would be far more entertaining then the movie could ever possibly hope to be.

I will always have the old movies and will be happy once these people burn through everything and have nothing left but their own talent. So let's watch it burn and enjoy the show

 

[ManaByte]

Considering the rumor was right about time travel

The first scene in the movie is a flashback. It sounds like the device doesn't do time travel. Stop listening to Nazis.

 

[AJUMP23]

Indiana Jones has never started with a flashback sequence. No young indies no Boy Scouts no flashbacks or circus trains. I bet it is flash forwards.

 

[BadBurger]

I am guessing all that happens is the movie features some flashback scenes from the past, in which the titular plot device is used, and it's later shown how those past events lead to the conclusion of this film.

Jones probably won't die, but rather be given some dignified sendoff that leaves fans either wanting a reboot, or seeing someone take up the mantle.

It's probably going to far more mundane and boring than the internet is obsessing over, which is almost always the case for these big event films.

[Panajev2001a]

Jones probably won't die, but rather be given some dignified sendoff

I expect something designed around their idea of modern audiences and what they need that “deconstructs”, criticises, and takes the character down a notch essentially asking people to detach from it emotionally and consume whatever new vision the writers (many of whom quite simply hate 80’s and 90’s culture with a passion, but have to deal with their popularity) and the commercial suits have decided these “modern audiences” want. This is like a pattern now…

Indiana Jones already got his send off more than once, the last one was quite definitive… yet here we are.

 

[ManaByte]

I am guessing all that happens is the movie features some flashback scenes from the past, in which the titular plot device is used, and it's later shown how those past events lead to the conclusion of this film.

The opening scene is set in a Nazi castle in 1944. That's the flashback and the "confirmation" the masked Nazi on YouTube is trying to push as "confirmation" of his made up time travel bullshit.

It's probably going to far more mundane and boring than the internet is obsessing over, which is almost always the case for these big event films.

It's going to be a James Mangold movie and the internet will suddenly pretend they were always excited about it once they see it.

Jones probably won't die, but rather be given some dignified sendoff that leaves fans either wanting a reboot, or seeing someone take up the mantle.

It's written and directed by the guy who killed WOLVERINE before Ford V Ferrari.
