Indiana Jones and the Alien Mindbenders (Updated: Rumors debunked) 10 Jun, 2010 / 16 comments

The latest Indiana Jones 5 rumor has emerged, claiming the film will be the final outing for Harrison Ford, sending the character off with an adventure that will be "emotional and exciting."

The Hollywood star is well-known for his portrayal of the archaeologist and adventurer, and has agreed to reprise the role one last time. Indiana Jones 5 will begin shooting next year, and much of the plot line will be centred around the Bermuda Triangle, an area over the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft are said to have disappeared.

“George (Lucas) and Steven (Spielberg) have been working on a script and it's almost there," a source explained. “Harrison is on stand-by for filming next year. This looks like being an emotional and exciting conclusion to the franchise, with Indy facing his biggest challenge yet.”

The last film in the franchise, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, was released in 2006. Shia LaBeouf played Indiana’s son Mutt Williams, and he will also appear in the new instalment.

Movie bosses have assured fans the film will stay true to the series’ roots, and won’t contain lots of state-of-the-art special effects.

“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,” the source added.

Update by Jason: This rumor has been denied, point-blank, by Paramount, a Steven Spielberg rep, Lucasfilm, and producer Frank Marshall. So yeah, so much for Indiana Jones 5 happening anytime soon.

    Jeez, what an amateurishly written fake... As if Spielberg and Lucas would be working on the script, too. Lol. When have they ever done that?

    Why doesn't "nuke the fridge" mean a scene in a movie that's so awesome that it makes everything else look worse by comparison?

    Because, I mean, that's how I felt about it.

    Ugh just...
    WHY are they even doing this?
    George Lucas you are the cackling reanimator of hollywood's festering graveyard.
    The real Indy died with last crusade.

    There's no way that Indy 4 is the worst movie in a world where Indy 2 exists.



    Temple of Doom is my favorite Indy film, and Indy 4 while not entirely bad is completely flat and lacking excitement compared to Doom.

    Oh man, just when I thought that they had come to their senses and not make any more Indy movies. When you've lost the touch Georgie and Steven, then you've lost it.

    There's no way that Indy 4 is the worst movie in a world where Indy 2 exists. I thought that most of Indy 4 was great fun. Not quite as good as Indy 1 and Indy 3, but it would be impossible to match those movies. People kept complaining about the aliens, who were handled pretty well I thought. Fitted the overal theme of Indy-movies being an homage to movies of the 30s, and with this movie taking place 20 years later it makes sense to look at movies from the 50s. Besides, it's not like they started blasting lasers or swinging lightsabers. Another big complaint is the 'nuke the fridge'-scene, which I thought was a pretty clever and funny reference to all those Duck and Cover-instructional videos. I was rather surprised what people thought Indiana Jones was all about. I grew up with these movies, and I thought that, apart from some minor scenes, it was still the same guy having the same kind of andventures. And it was great. The only really big complaint I had was about the overly clean look a lot of movies have these days, which made it look like it was filmed on the set of a porn movie. But apart from that, I thought they did a great job. They just don't make a lot of (good) movies in that crazy 80s/90s adventure-style anymore.

    I still thought the South Park-episode about the movie was hilarious though.

    well, Indy 4 movie was the worst Indiana Jones film in the series. We'll see if the fifth one will beat its record, lol

    When something sounds too good too be true, it usually isn't.

    Not a chance.

    "Movie bosses have assured fans the film will stay true to the series’ roots, and won’t contain lots of state-of-the-art special effects."

    That's what they said last time! And I liked that one!

    Between that inaccuracy and the "won’t contain lots of state-of-the-art special effects" quote that reads like a regurgitation of the Indy4 hype interviews, I'm not putting a whole lot of stock in this rumor yet.



    I can't remember who it was with, but I remember an interview for KOTCS saying that only about 20 percent of the effects would be digital.

    Ha.

    I doubt a new film would be advertised for the first time by the Bermuda Triangle. If anything they'll try to make the central theme of Indy5 sound different than that of Indy4.

    That's what I would do at least.

    Silly Musicrooms, KOTCS came out in 2008.
    Oh well, I'm still looking forward to this. I actually liked Indy 4.
