That’s how they got back. That’s not my concern, because that’s the easiest thing they could do.
The REAL hurdle is after passing the fissure. How do they move an 70 year old man with a gun shot wound all the way to his apartment UNCONSCIOUS? The logistics just seem way off.
In the Toys R Us here in Canada they have a line of Indiana Jones toys...all from previous adventures. I couldn't find a single bit of merchandise tied to the Dial of Destiny. Either it's because there are no set pieces that could become toys or Disney is being ageist and not showcasing a senior citizen character and instead just showing off the younger Indy. Either way it's telling.
Tomb Raider and Uncharted are inspired by Indy and I would have loved a game of that quality set in the Indy universe.They could surely have convinced Ford to do the voice work as well as license his likeness for the animation.
That's an interesting financing concept for when you retire.
My top preference would be a younger Indy, set in the 20s/early 30s and made Mandalorian-style; but they seem to have ruled that out.
IIRC that was one of the scripts for a unproduced episode of YOUNG INDY.
I'm right there with ya, JW!
It’s ok for Bond but not Indy?
Regardless,it’s not going to happen given the fact that Indy 5 bombed hard.
Indiana Jones reminds me of Clouseau. He was definitively portrayed by Sellers. But once enough time had passed from his passing Steve Martin brought out a new version.
I think (unchecked) they will attempt a CGI Ford Indy movie after he passes. If this can't for some reason happen, then yeah, another actor will play him. On my second viewing of DOD, the CGI de-aging didn't work as well for me as it did the first time... but the first time I was sitting right up front, the second time I was sitting much farther back & could really study it all. But I can still write it off as being a side thing- not the major part of the film.
In the recent Flash movie they inserted CGI cameos of Chris Reeve & Helen Slater...
And you all must see where this is heading.
And this is in part what the Hollywood strike is about.
You used to know the difference between live action and animation.
Superhero movies are inherently based in the unreal, but Indy, and Bond, deserve to stay practical.
Our grand kids will tell us "Who cares? It's all just entertainment!" as the reality of climate change drives the need for the (sometimes disconnected) unreality of entertainment further along.
Sorry, just some musings from a sexist, misogynist dinosaur & a relic of the Cold War era films.
I’ve interacted with this guy for over a decade at another forum and twitter. I’ll just say, he’s got very particular tastes. I’m only ten minutes into the video but the things he mentions being altered like erasure of matte lines are very unimportant in the grand scheme IMO. I get his point about wanting to keep the films as close as to the original versions as much as possible for the sake of preservation of arts. But I can’t get too upset over such minute details. These are the kind of concerns only hardcore cinephiles have. This isn’t gonna make me hope someone torrents a 4K scan of a 35mm release print.
That said, the 4K scan of the 35mm print of STAR WARS and RETURN OF THE JEDI are a thing of beauty and make me feel like Captain Jack Sparrow as I watch them.
Haven't see DOD, but I did see Flash and all the "cameo's were so obviously CGI or AI. It looked cheap and felt like a badly animated movie. Sad to see them do Adam West and Christopher Reeve that way. Surely there must have been some B roll footage they could have used?
I watched a bit, I have no idea what he’s going on about. The lack of matte lines reduces the ‘depth’ of a shot? So much waffle as well. The 4K release is stunning.
Later in the video he gives examples such as in Raiders,they made Indy “ fat “ by stretching the image in a few shots where they uncover the well of souls.
He also says pretty much every optical effect was tinkered with.
The menus are exactly the same as the Blu Ray ones ( I know,nitpicking,but it shows that Paramount are lazy ).
Have they at least fixed that major error on the blu ray of Raiders of the shot of Indy and Marion on the Washington steps being blurred?
The packaging also looks really cheap.I hav the limited edition blu ray set which came with all kinds of goodies like the grail diary,map of the knights shield and other goodies.
It really is only his view though, seems like the kind of person who tries to find fault and had already decided (see his constant mentions of Lucasfilm and Paramount) that it would be bad. I'm sad he couldn't enjoy it but I feel like he would find problems no matter what it was; happily everyone else does like it.
That guy sounds an absolute anorak.
I watched a bit more of his video…. I’m not clutching my pearls over these kind of things. Even the “fat Indy” doesn’t even seem all that egregious when looking at it. All these things just come off as getting into the weeds.
An actual glaring error that would concern me is sometime like WAR OF THE WORLDS featuring a shot of planet Mars that’s colored blue (that actually happened, sadly)
