Harrison Ford Confirms Another Indiana Jones Gaining Momentum
There hasn’t been much written about the potential continuation of the Indiana Jones saga because its been such a touchy subject ever since Kingdom of the Crystal Skull hit theaters in May.
Most fans didn’t love the fourth film and don’t want to see another one at all, but there are also those die hard Indiana Jones fans who do want to see it continue.
Geoff Boucher of the LA Times blog Hero Complex caught up with the legendary Harrison Ford recently. Apparently George Lucas is already hard at work on coming up with a story for a fifth film. Ford says, “It’s crazy but greatÖ George is in think mode right now.”
The first question most will think when they hear this is: why?
Well, remarkably, Crystal Skull ended up making $317 million domestically and $783 million worldwide, which is more than enough to warrant a sequel.
“It’s automatic, really, we did well with the last one and with that having done well and been a positive experience, it’s not surprising that some people want to do it again,” Ford said.
Of course that makes sense, I guess it’s just a matter of really hoping that Lucas doesn’t come up with any ideas involving prairie dogs or monkeys or giant waterfalls.
Being a die hard Indiana Jones fan myself, I admit that I’d love to see another, especially with Ford holding onto the reigns (and not passing them off to Shia LaBeouf).
Boucher asked Ford who exactly was bringing up the idea of another sequel. His answer, oddly, doesn’t single anyone out, instead, he makes a spiritual comment. “Really, it comes from the ethos, from the ether. It’s natural. It’s a way of nature, of course, success breeds [sic] opportunities Ö also we don’t stay as closely in contact as have in the last year, that’s part of it.”
Considering it is Lucas who is working on story ideas, I’m guessing he’s the frontrunner. I think it will definitely take a lot for Lucas and Spielberg to recover from the Crystal Skull backlash, but the fans will be there to really help it out.
Won’t they…won’t you?!
