You read that headline right. Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford will reunite for a fifth Indiana Jones film! As long as Indy doesn’t fly any planes the film should release on time with no hospital bills for Ford. (Just kidding’ we love you Harrison)
According to an official statement on the Walt Disney Company’s website, the untitled fifth Indiana Jones movie will arrive on July 19, 2019. Just about everyone is coming back for what we can only assume will be Ford’s last appearance as Indy. Steven Spielberg will step behind the camera once more, and Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall will produce. Spielberg has directed all four previous films.
“Indiana Jones is one of the greatest heroes in cinematic history, and we can’t wait to bring him back to the screen in 2019,” said Alan Horn, Chairman, The Walt Disney Studios.
“It’s rare to have such a perfect combination of director, producers, actor and role, and we couldn’t be more excited to embark on this adventure with Harrison and Steven.”
While Harrison may be getting up there in age, I can’t wait to see him dawn his hat, crack his whip and maybe, just MAYBE, punch some god damn Nazi’s in the face. This news truly did make my face melt. (see what I did there?)
