    I'm fed up of hearing all this woke rubbish about Marion's age at time if relationship with Indy. It's a film! Let's not take things so seriously. Indy is not Harvey Weinstein or any predator like that.

    We had moved on actually, but thanks for bringing it back! (:|
    Does 'woke' even mean anything now or do people just use it to refer to things they don't like? "This bucket's got a hole in it, it's utterly woke" etc.


    Anyway, here's a nice pic of a cafe which I think they've decorated for the movie. Sounds like Sicily will see a fair bit of action, hopefully involving boats.

  • Agreed. Let's draw a line under the woke movement. I do hate that term. As far as I'm concerned Marion had a schoolgirl crush on Indy. He ended it because of the age gap, off screen. Enough said. Good news is they reunited and got married so happy ever after. We hope!

    How is acknowledging that a 26 year old man having a sexual affair with a 16 year girl old being creepy “woke”? If it’s not such a big deal, why was her father outraged and put a stop to it by shutting Indy out of his life up until the day he died?

    Though the thought of Abner brushing it off sounds absurdly funny. Like he just walks in on the two in bed and has a laugh “oh Indy, you old scrap!”
  • Raiders of the Lost Ark is a classic. Nothing can tarnish, not even the current trend for retro assassinating the politics of the time. I agree the age difference would make the relationship questionnable but in the words of Toht " the man's nefarious"

    No one is disputing its status as a classic film. No one is trying to retro assassinate. Where are you getting any of that in this forum?

    It's not a new thing to find this element of the story a bit suspect, people have been talking about it for decades.
    In the script she's described in the stage directions as 25 years old, Indy hasn't talked to Abner for ten years, 'you do the math' as the Americans say! :)

    Curious glimpses of the set in Sicily:



    And also:




    It's looking strangely like it's not just set in the 60s...

    And then these images make it look like these scenes are maybe WW2 again, how bizarre!

  • Maybe those rumors of time travel are real and Indiana’s sidekick in the movie will be…a younger Indiana?

    Now that’s an interesting possibility.

    I’m thinking more and more that we may get our first look at the movie before the end of the year.

    Time travel is looking increasingly likely...

    I'm not against the idea, it could be good fun.

    "From 1969 back in the past for the scenes of "Indiana Jones 5" at the Maniace castle in Syracuse. After the Ear of Dionysus and the cave of the Cordari, in the heart of the Neapolis park, the Hollywood mega-troupe has moved to Ortigia. At dawn, the first shots inside the Frederick manor for some of the cast's actors including the "villain" of the fifth chapter of the saga: Mads Mikkelsen. The Danish actor plays the role of a scientist who invented a time machine that will force Indiana Jones on a daring journey into the past. And it is precisely in an ancient past that the Maniace set is set with craft shops and a laboratory full of inventions - perhaps by Archimedes from Syracuse - which was set up in the basement of the castle.
    Another scene was animated by the horses arriving in the external part of the castle through a passage created on purpose and "guided" by an expert trainer from England who had the task of organizing the scene with the animals in detail. Again, part of the set was a glimpse of the sea overlooking the castle where a sort of battle took place as revealed by barrels and fumes seen in the distance.
    “All as agreed - comments the superintendent of Syracuse, Salvatore Martinez - without any problem for the monument and its absolute protection. The scenes were shot outside the Hypostyle room, which in recent weeks hosts an art exhibition by the master Pirri, and in total safety for the site which, indeed, seems to really marry wonderfully with the Indiana Jones set "
    . The production asked to be able to extend filming by one day and, therefore, the crew will still be at work tomorrow morning to finish some scenes. Then stop in Cefalù where Harrison Ford would have already arrived and where Antonio Banderas is also expected today."

    My excitement suddenly dropped.
    Time travel has pretty much been confirmed
    Also, news about the Banderas character and first pic of Mikkelsen. Huge spoilers here:

    Not sure but a similar look. Either way, I’m happy he’s involved.

    Mads for Bond26 villain! Again, yes, why not? He's really so cool and menacing.

    Is Mads going to torture Indy by hitting his balls with his own whip?
