Its been a while since I last graced your computer screens, and for that I apologise.
I come to you now though, with a heavy heart. In a recent interview with the BBC, Hollywood’s “go to guy” Shia LaBeouf announced that there is indeed plans for a 5thIndy movie. Now I don’t know about you, but I was pretty blown away by Crystal Skull. I mean, how can an iconic director, a beloved character and some of the best actors in the business royally bugger up such an amazing franchise? I’ll tell you how. It had f**king aliens! Up until then, the films had been based around religious myth (I’m not a believer but it was cool) and it really suited the character and his background. So to then throw aliens and space ships into the mix really ticked me off (would use stronger language, but children may read it).
So whats the future hold for Indy? Well no one really knows just yet. All we know is Spielberg has “cracked the story” for Indy 5. With this news, it raises lots of questions. Will Harrison return? Will Spielberg himself even come back to direct? Can we hope that Lucas stays away from the script? Will it go back to its roots? Will John Hurt actually have anything to do this time?
I was, like many others, totally let down by the last film. It just didn’t have the charm the others had. Plus I’d rather forget about the flying fridge and swinging with the monkeys. So with Indy 5 in the pipeline, what do we want from it? Do we want another CGI driven event film like Crystal Skull, or do we want a throw back to the old school and please every fan alive? Hmmm, tough question.
Whose got thoughts on Indy 5?
Until next time my lovely little minions.
