Harrison Ford Says 'Indiana Jones 5' Is 'On George Lucas's Plate'

Posted 11/9/10 12:27 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, Interviews, News, Video


Harrison Ford talks Indiana Jones 5There are basically four schools of thought when it comes to making "Indiana Jones 5." One: It's an awesome idea because "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" was rad and more Indy is always a good thing. Two: It's necessary because "Crystal Skull" was sort of a letdown and Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas deserve a chance to give Dr. Jones a proper sendoff. Three: It's not advisable because "Crystal Skull" was the aforementioned letdown. Four: It's a bad idea because "Indy 4" was the perfect swan song.

Regardless of how fans feel about the prospect of "Indiana Jones 5," however, the reality is that the movie whipped up $786 million worldwide... making a fifth installment all but a foregone conclusion. Plus, the 68-year-old Ford is just itching to don Indy's iconic fedora one more time, as he told MTV News MTV News at the press junket for his new comedy "Morning Glory," in theaters November 10.

"It's on George's plate," Ford said of an Indy sequel. "And I'm hoping he's working hard at it, because I'd look forward to doing it again if the three of us could get together -- George, [director] Steven Spielberg, myself -- I'd love to do another." Read More...

'Indiana Jones 5' Talk From Shia LaBeouf: Fifth Movie 'Sounds Crazy... Really Cool'

Posted 8/20/10 11:15 am EST by in News


We can all agree that "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" fell far short of being awesome. That's putting it kindly. Even star Shia LaBeouf had to admit it. Still, it's hard not to love a Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford team-up. So talk of a fifth Indy flick is a welcome thing, even if "Crystal Skull" left a bad taste.

That's what I've got for you today, from comments LaBeouf made to Showbiz Spy (via JoBlo). "I got called into Steven’s office and he pitched a little bit to me and it sounds crazy, it sounds really cool," he said. While he wouldn't say anything about the story, LaBeouf did confirm that "they're writing the script right now."

And that's it. As long as there are no aliens in the next one, I'm on board.

Seriously.... No. Aliens.

'Indiana Jones 5' Takes Harrison Ford And Shia LaBeouf To Bermuda Triangle? Shoots Next Year?

Posted 6/8/10 3:16 pm EST by in News


Crack out your salt shakers, because you'll need to take this news with a mighty big grain. New Zealand outlet Stuff is reporting (via AICN) some news on the next "Indiana Jones" movie, including the first hard facts we've heard about what the story might entail and when production is expected to start.

Citing an unnamed source, Stuff reports that the George Lucas/Steven Spielberg-penned script is "almost there," and that the story will take Indiana (Harrison Ford) and his son Mutt (Shia LaBeouf) to the Bermuda Triangle. Even more encouraging -- again, if the source can be trusted -- is the final quote: "Shia LaBeouf has a central role again as Indy's son but this will be a blockbuster made in the old fashioned way rather than the CGI efforts of the last movie."

Steven Spielberg Confirmed To Direct 'War Horse,' But What Would YOU Like Him To Do?

Posted 5/4/10 3:34 pm EST by in Commentary, News, Poll


Reports are circulating that Steven Spielberg has set "War Horse" as his next directing gig. The film is an adaptation of Michael Morpurgo's 1982 young adult novel about an English farm horse who is captured by the Germans on the battlefields of World War I. The horse's path continually intertwines with a young boy from his farm as war rages throughout Europe.

It sounds like a sweet enough tale — just don't get too used to the idea that it's coming anytime soon. While "War Horse" is being touted as Spielberg's next directing gig, the filmmaker is attached to a whole slew of other projects that have yet to come to fruition.

After the jump, we've listed a few of the films currently vying for Spielberg's attention. Read More...

EXCLUSIVE: Harrison Ford Hopes To 'Deepen The Relationship' Between Indy And Son In The Next 'Indiana Jones' Movie

Posted 1/11/10 11:00 am EST by in News


Fans are in almost universal agreement that "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" was a bit of a stumbling return for the series. Almost 20 years separate the 2008 release from the last Indy movie before it, "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," and the passed time shows. Regardless, star Harrison Ford is game to move on with more if there's a good reason. That's what he told MTV's Larry Carroll in an interview last Friday at the press junket for this week's release, "Extraordinary Measures."

"I think it would be interesting to advance the understanding of the character, as we always have had that ambition throughout the series," Ford said of his hopes for a "Crystal Skull" follow-up. "I think it would be interesting to deepen the relationship between he and his son [Mutt, played by Shia LaBeouf] and play on that relationship. ... It's full of opportunity. The series is full of opportunity." Read More...

Bill Belichick's Fourth Quarter Colts Vs Patriots Fumble An Old Story In Hollywood

Posted 11/16/09 11:00 am EST by in Commentary, Humor


Bill BelichickEverybody makes mistakes, even a three-time Super Bowl winning football coach like Bill Belichick. If a man like Belichick can cause a series of fatal game-changing events due to one bad coaching call — as he did during the fourth quarter of last night's game pitting his New England Patriots against the Indianapolis Colts — then you shouldn't feel too bad about breaking your mother's favorite vase or skipping out on "Drag Me To Hell" while it was in theaters. Alright, maybe you should feel bad about that last one.

But the Patriots head coach isn't alone in his ability to turn a single blunder into a catastrophic calamity — it's a storm that comes into port quite often in the hills of Hollywood. In fact, the following five film franchises have all seen similar collapses due to a fourth quarter fumble. Read More...

Harrison Ford 'Waiting On A Script' For The Next 'Indiana Jones' Movie

Posted 9/21/09 4:00 pm EST by in News, Video


Harrison Ford has tackled many, many, many memorable roles over his career. Han Solo in "Star Wars." Jack Trainer in "Working Girl." The United States President in "Air Force One." The fugitive in, well, "The Fugitive." But, let's not forget that at the end of the day he's Indiana Jones. So when MTV News was invited to a Team Earth event where Indy himself was making an appearance, we couldn't say no. After all, it's not every day you get to ask the whip-wielding one what we can expect from a fifth "Indiana Jones" flick.

It seems like Ford doesn't know what to expect from the flick either. Or maybe he just isn't talking. "We're waiting on a script," he said. As for when that script might surface, Ford isn't holding his breath: "Ah, not yet." Read More...

Posted 6/18/09 1:00 pm EST by in Commentary, News


Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal SkullEarlier this week, Shia LaBeouf revealed that "Indiana Jones" creator Steven Spielberg has "cracked the story" on the next "Indiana Jones" movie. That's hardly the confirmation that fans might be hoping for, but none of us have any reason to believe that the "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" star would lie.

Still, it's always good to hear from other folks surrounding a project during these early, pre-production stages. Or not I suppose, if you didn't care for "Crystal Skull." Regardless of how you feel, there's additional word on "Indy 5," this time from producer Frank Marshall. Read More...
