Indiana Jones 5 Now Pushed Back to 2021

[Casper Gutman]

Also, John Williams. Of course, he’ll be dismissed as basically a more musically gifted Grace Randolph after this:

A New Indiana Jones 5 Ending Is Being Filmed, Says John Williams

John Williams is retiring after Indiana Jones 5.

screenrant.com

Do you read your sources? Williams claims the ending is being reshot. That’s not at all unusual for modern blockbusters and it doesn’t remotely begin to prove the claims made about the “controversial” ending.

If you're basing the CG just on the trailers, you're missing out. I will say there are some spots where the CG is wonky, but overall its passable and never took me out of the story.

And you know that they will never say Rian isn't allowed back, especially in public, rather they just won't mention him again.
As for Rogue Squadron, my understanding is its still happening in one form or another, but is pushed off.

And no I don't think you're joking. But I do think you'll like this movie overall, and it should be seen in theaters. But whether you wait until it comes out on digital at the end of the year, or you go see it in theaters, you should watch it.

Me and the rest of the audience is apparently missing out…

$7 mil domestically and $17 on Friday.

The movie is at the bottom of Everest looking up.

The CG is in the trailers…so was the bad stuff in Crystal skull.
So that’s not promising

Seems the de-aging is good? That’s worth a look.

It would he hard for me NOT to see an Indy in the theaters. I already skipped 1 and 1/3 Star Wars movies in the cinema…so I don’t want that to continue.
I still may go see it.

I never said the fanboy ending was real. But this disputes Mangold’s suggestion there were no reshoots or alternate endings

Mangold said they hadn’t held any test screenings at that point. Williams doesn’t challenge that.

Looks like whatever they did…it didn’t work

Mangold also said there were no reshoots.

Kathy said the force was a girl too

 

[Casper Gutman]

Mangold also said there were no reshoots.

I see this. OK, either he’s spinning or lying or Williams is incorrect. Either might be true. We have no reason to believe Mangold was lying (filming alternate endings is common so it would be an odd lie), and Williams was not privy to all of the filming process. Even if Mangold is lying, there is still absolutely no evidence of the claimed alternate ending.

I've been saying for quite some time now that Iger leaving isn't gonna fix like 99% of Disney's current problems. Especially in terms of the parks. The problems with modern era Disney and Iger himself are really just problems with the entertainment industry as a whole. The only way you see improvement there are broad structural stranges to the market itself.

I could see that. It certainly beats people blaming Kathleen Kennedy or politics, which they seem to be doing for icky reasons.

Neither Fast X (tenth in the Fast and Furious franchise) nor Transformers Rise of Beasts (I don't even know what movie they're up to here) did well at all, and those are the two tentpole IP's for Universal and Paramount, respectively. So the problem isn't exclusively Disney. And as for perceived offensive-ness? For one of the genuine successes of the summer - Sony's Across the Spider-verse - the entire series modus operandi is to be woke ("Anyone can be Spider-man"). So I don't know that, "make stuff your daft uncle finds agreeable" is the answer.

Hopefully, the problem is that people are tired of old people peddling their old trash onto them over and over again. Fast and Furious is twenty years old. Transformers is fifteen years old. You don't even want to know how old Indiana Jones and Star Wars are to young people. Or how old all the films the live-action remakes are remaking are. I think Disney's brand reputation now is just making old stuff over and over again, except uglier and emptier and incoherent, and everyone's tired of it. And because Disney were so successful doing this throughout the 2010's (do we just call this the Twenty-teens?), all the other studios copied them and now people seem all a bit bored?

I become more convinced everyday that Kathy kennedy is a human blame shield for Iger.

He’s the problem…everywhere…which is the only logical conclusion when EVERYONE else gets fired.

That’s how dictators work.

I’m with the rest of your post. Spot on

I’m amazed she still has a job, Star Wars steady decline should have been more than enough reason to replace her years ago. I don’t know how anyone in the board room or executive offices can justify keeping her around while firing thousands of employees due to the companies finances.

 

[Phroobar]

It will be interesting to see the alternative endings on the blu-ray. The end in the theater is pretty touching and goes back to a scene in Raiders.

That’s why I think it’s Bob. She’s just the messenger and takes all the hate…for a hefty fee.

Remember: she’s not “George’s Gal”…she’s Steven’s…
(Relax woke brigade…you know what I mean)

She could just be playing out the string…ya know?

Didn’t they renew her last contract during Chapek?

It has to go beyond just being Igers shield, Disney is a company in disarray, maybe the executive team was afraid once the gates were opened they’d all be fired, which may be the case. Chapek is now gone, McCarthy is now gone, Newton is gone… I think more change is coming.

They never “announced” anything…as I recall?

It showed up from HER side.
Persona non-grata

Barely is shown at the conventions…
And I found it humorous on Mando documentary for season 3 they showed her for about a hot second and favreau said…”oh…and Kathy ”

Curious indeed

She ain't going anywhere until she wants to, and you know it. She'll remain through her existing contract, which is next year I believe, and then in my opinion will likely retire. Until then she's just the lighting rod used by fans to direct their hate, and I'm sure she is laughing to the bank about it.

Yes, she's not going anywhere until she wants to. I don't believe she will retire though. Why would she? Disney seems to just let her do whatever she wants. So it's a pretty good gig for her. It's not like she cares what any of the fans think.

Until then she's just the lighting rod used by fans to direct their hate, and I'm sure she is laughing to the bank about it.

Well she's made herself the lightning rod. That's what happens when you act the way she's acted. And yes, she's laughing all the way to the bank. Because that's who she is.

Finished the movie it was fine, better than Crystal Skull (not saying much there though). Honestly, Helena was kinda flat to me alongside her sidekick. The theater seemed to enjoy it, it was sold out but also a smaller theater. I don't think it is a bad film, but when compared to the original trilogy it is definitely weaker. It honestly wasn't what I thought it would be, but the best parts for me where when Sallah was on screen.

Would I reccomend rushing to see it? Unless you're a fan of the franchise or actors, not really. I'm sure it is a better experience in theaters but I wouldn't say to watch it over some other pass releases if you haven't gotten to them yet.

I'm going to skip this movie and wait for the de-aging thing to be available at my local Lancome counter instead.

 

[Wendy Pleakley]

I was going to wait on this one to watch at home but word of mouth was solid if not exceptional so I saw it.

It's good. You have to keep things in perspective. It's the fourth best Indy movie but that's not a bad thing given how good those movies were. This is better than a lot, maybe most, movies.

It gives you what an Indy movie should. Our heroes and the villains racing against each other to acquire an artifact with a series of cliffhanger action sequences along the way.

I wish at least a few of the action sequences were more grounded in reality. They were generally too unrealistic.

It didn't have any really egregious moments like Crystal Skull that left many of us baffled. How does a nuclear bomb hand pick one fridge to fling out of a nuclear blast? How does a senior citizen not die as that fridge is flung across miles of land bouncing the whole way?

A few people have cited too much CGI and I didn't get that feeling. Lots of practical and location shooting. Didn't feel like it was created in a computer like some movies.

There's some nostalgia but not overdone.

Based on box office a lot of people are on the fence about this one. I recommend seeing it. It's the last time to see Indy on the big screen and Ford still has a lot of charisma. There's a reason he's one of the biggest movie stars of all time. It generally delivers on what an Indy movie should and avoids the errors of its' predecessor.
