Los Angeles, Dec 2 (IANS): Disney has unveiled the first trailer for “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” which is the official title for the fifth installment of Harrison Fords whip-cracking, adventure franchise. Furthermore, the trailer shows a de-aged Harrison Ford as Indy back in his glory days of archeology and adventure.
The film is scheduled to release on June 30, 2023.
The trailer opens with some classic, deadly Indy antics as he jumps between rushing tuk tuk cars. There are also shots of him running on a moving train and riding a motorcycle in the rain after an airplane, but “those days have come and gone,” said Ford as a retired Indy who remains in coaching, reports of ‘Variety’.
“I don’t believe in magic, but several times in my life I’ve seen things. Things I can’t explain,” he narrates over first-looks at villains played by Mads Mikkelsen and Antonio Banderas, plus Indy’s goddaughter, played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge. John Williams’ iconic “Indiana Jones” score rolls in as Indy grabs his fedora, narrowly dodges a horse-drawn train and whacks some henchmen to close the trailer.
Indiana’s latest outing is set in the 1960s Space Race between the US and Soviet Russia. Unlike previous films, George Lucas did not write the story for “Indiana Jones 5” and Steven Spielberg was not the director.
Instead, both roles will be filled by James Mangold, known for his films like ‘Logan’, ‘Ford vs. Ferrari’, ‘3:10 to Yuma’ and more.
Spielberg is still attached as an executive producer, and Lucas, the original creator of the film franchise, is credited with some involvement in the writer’s room.
Co-starring alongside Ford is John Rhys-Davies, who is reprising the role of Sallah, last seen in 1989’s ‘Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade’, as well as new additions such as Mikkelsen, Banderas, Thomas Kretschmann, Boyd Holbrook , Shaunette Renée Wilson and Toby Jones.
Waller-Bridge, the Emmy-winning creator and star of Prime Video’s ‘Fleabag,’ also makes her franchise debut as Indy’s daughter Helena, which composer Williams described as “an adventure, and a also femme fatale.”
Not only “Indiana Jones 5” is the last hurray for the 80-year-old Ford, but also the 90-year-old composer Williams, who confirmed that the film will probably be his last.
“Right now I’m working on ‘Indiana Jones 5,’ which Harrison Ford — who’s a little younger than me — I think has announced his last movie,” Williams told the Associated Press in a June 2022 interview. “So, I thought: If Harrison can do it, maybe I can too.”
