Harrison Ford admitted he wasn’t initially keen on the idea of his iconic Indiana Jones costume. Ford, 80, said when the ensemble was first presented to him, he had several questions before putting on the fedora and other accessories.

interview with GQ magazine, Harrison Ford recalled his initial confusion over the outfit he’d be expected to wear as Indiana Jones, back when Steven Spielberg’s “Raiders of the Lost Ark” (1981) was still in the development phase.“It was presented to me as an aspect of character in the first film,” Ford said. “My questions about it were many.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director In a new video interview with GQ magazine, Harrison Ford revealed that he pushed back against Indiana Jones’ iconic costume when he first saw the plans for his character during the development of Steven Spielberg’s “Raiders of the Lost Ark” (1981). The costume included a leather jacket, a bullwhip and a pinch-front fedora that Ford stapled to his head during production so that it would not fly off during action scenes. Ford told GQ he still has the staple scars. “It was presented to me as an aspect of character in the first film,” Ford said about Indiana Jones’ costume. “My questions about it were many. Why am I wearing a leather jacket in the jungle? Isn’t it hot here? Why am I carrying a whip? What am I going to do with a fucking whip? I’m going to whip people?”

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor Before “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” even opened, the Disney adventure tentpole sparked intrigue with a de-aged Harrison Ford, who, in his fifth film playing the whip-cracking archaeologist, is now 80 years old. The shots of a young Ford look impressive, and it’s thanks to the team of over 100 artists at Industrial Light and Magic, who spent three years on the film’s visual effects, which also included enhancing and developing their existing de-aging technology to create ILM FaceSwap. Photorealism de-aging was nothing new to the team. After all, technology such as Flux existed and had been used on films such as “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and “The Irishman.”

Movie stars no longer “own” Hollywood, we are told, but two hallowed brand names owned much of the media space this week.

Indiana Jones franchise, “Dial of Destiny,” finally swung its way into theaters late last month.While series stars such as Harrison Ford and John Rhys-Davies came back for large portion of the action-adventure flick, one returning alum only had a sliver of time on the silver screen.Karen Allen — who portrays Indy’s longtime love Marion Ravenwood — made a quick, blink-and-you-missed-it cameo appearance at the end of the 154-minutes-long movie.The 71-year-old got candid with the Hollywood Reporter recently and expressed her disappointment with her lack of camera time.She previously had larger parts in 2008’s “Crystal Skull” and 1981’s “Raiders of the Lost Ark.”Allen admitted that when she read the script for “Dial of Destiny,” she had expected that she would play a major role.However, she noted that it “was just not the direction” that the producers decided to go with.In the franchise, Marion and Indy have a son together, named Mutt Williams. Mutt was played by Shia LaBeouf in “Crystal Skull” and did not return for the latest film in the series.LaBeouf’s character actually died before the movie’s events (which occurred in the late 1960s).Allen explained how the filmmakers had issues with the story because LaBeouf, 37, was not making a comeback, and they had the character killed off-screen in the Vietnam War.

Tom Cruise just celebrated his 61st birthday and the Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One star is opening up about his future in acting.

Mads Mikkelsen stars opposite Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny playing Nazi scientist Dr. Jürgen Voller. The actor recently opened up about the roles that he likes to play opting to play “losers” on-screen versus “cutie pie” characters.

Elizabeth Wagmeister Chief Correspondent SPOILER ALERT:This story discusses major plot developments in “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” which is now playing in theaters. Shaunette Renée Wilson (“The Resident,” “Black Panther”) landed the role of a lifetime when she was cast opposite Harrison Ford in his final “Indiana Jones” film. Wilson was hand-picked by director James Mangold to play Agent Mason in the major summer release. After a Zoom meeting with Mangold, she was cast and didn’t even have to audition, but when she received the script, she wanted to implement some changes.

Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer SPOILER ALERT: This story discusses major plot developments, including the ending, of “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” currently playing in theaters. When director James Mangold started writing “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” with screenwriters Jez and John-Henry Butterworth, he didn’t know how the movie was going to end. Mangold inherited the film from director Steven Spielberg, who had been developing the project for three years with screenwriter David Koepp. When Mangold took over, he and the Butterworth started effectively from scratch, crafting a story in which Harrison Ford’s titular archeologist and Nazi puncher contends with his own age and irrelevance while chasing after the Antikythera, a mysterious device with the power to find fissures in time, created by the ancient Greek mathematician and inventor Archimedes.

Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer SPOILER ALERT: This story discusses major plot developments, including the final scene, in “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” currently playing in theaters. When Lucasfilm announced in 2016 that Steven Spielberg was making a fifth “Indiana Jones” movie with Harrison Ford, fans naturally wondered how much of a role Karen Allen’s Marian Ravenwood — Indy’s spitfire equal from 1981’s “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and the love of his life — would play in the new film. The last time audiences saw Marian, she was getting married to Indy at the end of 2008’s “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” after she revealed to Indy that they’d had a child together, who Indy meets as teenage greaser Mutt Williams (Shia LaBeouf). So any follow-up movie would at the very least need to address the fact that Indy is married with a (grown) kid.

Indiana Jones' most iconic weapon is the archaeologist's handy whip, it's Harrison Ford's «gun vs. sword» scene in that's considered by most fans to be the funniest moment in the franchise.

Harrison Ford is set to appear on-screen as Indiana Jones for the last time with the fifth installment of the franchise, "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny." In May, the actor broke the news to fans during a presentation at the D23 Expo in an emotional speech, saying, "This is it. I will not fall down for you again." He also thanked the fans for helping to make playing Indiana Jones so special. "Indiana Jones movies are about fantasy and mystery, but they're also about heart," he said through tears.

revealed to Yahoo! that he didn’t even know at the time that Selleck had originally been attached to — and subsequently left — the project. Han Solo himself had just polished off filming the “Star Wars” flick “The Empire Strikes Back,” and director George Lucas asked him to read for the character of Jones.

It’s time for one last adventure with Indiana Jones, and a few new faces are joining our favorite archaeologist — including Shaunette Renée Wilson‘s Agent Mason.

Tom Cruise is showing off his support for all the major movies coming out this summer in theaters.

Goodbyes don’t tend to mean much in the Hollywood franchise system. Death isn’t a reliable end for characters or, lately, even actors. Technology, nostalgia and the often-inflated value of brands and IP have created a nightmarish cycle of resurrection and regurgitation, curdling what we love most.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” is gunning for the top spot on box office charts. The fifth and final adventure to star Harrison Ford as the legendary, globe-trotting explorer is targeting at least $65 million from 4,500 North American theaters in its opening weekend. The latest Indy installment is also debuting day-and-date at the international box office, where it’s aiming to add $80 million for a global start of $145 million to $150 million. Those ticket sales are decent, especially for the fourth sequel to a decades-old property that’s aimed at older audiences. But Disney spent a mind-boggling $295 million to bring the action-adventure to life. That’s not including marketing costs, such as a no-expense-spared premiere and afterparty at the Cannes Film Festival where much champagne was tippled. Even in the best circumstances, it’ll take a heroic feat — and a lot of nostalgia from long-time fans of the series — for “Indiana Jones 5” to turn a profit in its theatrical run.

Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny has arrived in cinemas – but should you remain seated for the credits?The latest offering marks the fifth and final instalment of the franchise, and sees acting legend Harrison Ford reprise his role as the daring adventurer.With the first part of the movie being set in 1944, Dial Of Destiny kicks off with the whip-cracking archaeologist looking to retrieve one half of the Antikythera – an ancient dial built by Archimedes – from a Nazi scientist (played by Mads Mikkelsen).The remainder of the film ventures forward to 1969, where Jones partners up with his goddaughter Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) to locate and retrieve the other half, and potentially alter the course of history.The Dial Of Destiny has very much been pitched as Indy’s final adventure, but fans will still be curious to know if a post-credits scene teases future possibilities for the franchise.Unlike other Disney titles, this Indy offering doesn’t feature a post-credits or mid-credits scene. So once the film ends, you’re safe to leave.The lack of any teasers perhaps shouldn’t come as a surprise, given that Ford himself has made it clear on numerous occasions that this is his final outing as Indiana Jones.“This is it! I will not fall down for you again,” the actor joked at D23 last year.“I’ll miss the people who I’ve worked with on the film – everyone at Lucasfilm, at Disney, [director] Jim Mangold, and the actors.
