I wasn’t sure but the photos a bit further down of the guy wearing the mask on the bike do look a lot like young Ford, don’t they?
Thanks for sharing! Great to see!
Really? I mean they all start in the same place, have him racing against an army, third act vehicle chase, same ending (the thing they sought kills the baddie)... compare with Temple and how that doesn’t do the same things.
Come on! That's like saying every Bond film is a remake of Dr No.
Well it’s like saying Spy Who Loved Me is a remake of You Only Live Twice, and that’s not an uncommon statement.
There’s no reason Indy has to battle an army (usually Nazis) in a race to find treasure that kills the person that uses it. That’s why Temple is a good sequel: it puts him in a different story.
Thanks for this. Exciting times.
I expect most of the “young Indy” shots y to o be with a de-aged Harrison Ford.
Also will be interesting to see which past adventure this sequence is set near.
I dislike almost everything about it, the humour, the lack of balls, Marion, the cgi green screen forest chase. Yuck. Terrible
The back story is, supposedly adult Indy tracked down Panama Hat to Portugal after getting a tip from a guy who worked for Panama Hat. Indy sneaks onto the ship and takes the cross from a safe. Panama Hat had struggled during the Depression and wanted to offload the cross for dough. A man said he'd buy it--he was suspected of being Walter Donovan--but said he'd only buy it if Indy was dead or killed. So on the ship, Indy is caught and realizes he was set up--as Admiral Ackbar said, it's a trap! And we know what happened after that.
Ah okay, what’s that from?
It does seem that the police are on Panama’s side in the young Indy bit -and we’ve no reason to think they’re wrong- and then in the Portugal bit the boat is actually called the Coronado, which would seem to imply that Panama Hat is the rightful owner!
It’s not impossible (after all, Captain Marvel did it with Sam Jackson; plus quite a bit of Temple of Doom was done with stunt doubles for Indy because Ford was injured), but Mangold did also say a couple of months ago that ‘all of the films’ he was working on at that point were set in the 60s. My money would be on this just being the opening teaser sequence, but I guess we’ll see.
I think the 40’s era will be limited to the PTS.
We’ll see.
So I wonder if LucasFilm thinks they can attempt to feature a de-aged Harrison Ford as the star of the film. Would be something of a breakthrough. Actors not only being able to reprise old characters but reprise them as they were decades ago.
Lucasfilm even brought Peter Cushing back from the dead! I wouldn’t rule it out, but if this is really HF’s last time, I would expect more closure, with him being older, and with some characters coming back.
Yes and potentially postumously, as mentioned.
It’s only a matter of time, one would imagine. I don’t feel like it’s this time, but who knows.
The Cap Marvel one was very good, Gemini Man used a 3D model for young Smith rather than just de-ageing him and I thought that looked really ropey.
I heard that some news that they were going to bring James Dean like that for a movie soon.

Quite a few people aren’t happy with it.
