If the report in the paper is right he was just doing something which happened to set off an old injury - I guess that sort of thing you can't really plan against as even fairly innocuous movements can do that sometimes.
It's a shame as it means they may miss the weather in some locations.
Most fan bases are and do.
And I'm not complaining about the Indy production giving us nothing so far- I don't expect them to. I guess a photo of Ford in costume at some point would be nice, but I don't expect anything else.
Maybe seeing Ford during a shoot for WWII sequence with dots on his face didn’t seem as enticing.
I think it's only a minority of Bond fans that do that. Most of us are very patient, loyal fans. Diversity is always welcome. Be boring if we all agreed. Each to their own, but I don't think bagging Bond fans on a Bond fan site is going to win you any friends though.
Oh they’ll have been taking hundreds of photos! I’m sure there will be a nice one along soon :)
Yes it’s the minority I’m talking about, it happens quite often and I’m always puzzled by it because Eon treat the fans pretty well as far as I can see- that was the point of my post: a positive one that we’re treated pretty well. If you feel like you’ve been ‘bagged’ I’m sorry, but if it’s something you’ve never complained about then I wasn’t talking about you. As you say, it would be boring if we all agreed- I happen to not agree with this minority, sounds like you don’t either.
Python got what I was taking about, although I wouldn’t go so far as to call Bond fans entitled and spoiled maybe.
I'm of the more-is-less school. I recall in early '06 getting that first shot of Craig pointing the gun in the Madagascar costume and that was enough to get me excited. The title reveal is something to look forward to. That shot of Ford in the Indy costume was enough to get stoked about. The speculation on the era in which it's set and how Scotland figures in or whatever is fine if people want to debate that but it also gets to the point where people do get riled up. It's part of the reason I quit visiting the Bond 25 thread, that and to avoid spoilers.
Yes that's what made me think of it: when NTTD started filming we knew it was about Felix asking for Bond's help and a missing scientist (or something: it's so long ago now! :D ) and they even showed us a sneak peek at Bond's house in Jamaica, whereas on this Indy movie we don't even know what year it's set in! :D
And I think both approaches are absolutely fine; I just think it's interesting to note how much more open Eon actually are and they're maybe not given enough credit sometimes for the extent they try to engage the fanbase.
I agree. I've seen some bitter comments toward Barbara B. and Michael G. and I feel more of a sense of gratefulness for their dedication to the series than what we're not getting when we want it. After all, they're not forcing me to buy their product.
Which is fair enough because it was an actual legal issue which went to court.
She’s a woman.
I’ve seen this with a (a smalll) subset of Bond fans too regarding Barbara Broccoli. Seeing her getting the most ire while her brother gets a free pass (despite him coming up with controversial decisions like making Blofeld a foster brother). Just go to CraigNotBond and you’ll find a plethora of sexist remarks about how she can’t objectively run the franchise because Danny gets her panties wet.
The Kathleen Kennedy hatred stuff though is much more over the top than I’ve ever seen from any fandom because it’s filled with so many twists in logic. For example, in order to explain why The Mandalorian is “good” in the eyes of “The Fandom Menace”, they’ve created this narrative that Kennedy actually has no control over that show because Filoni and Favreau somehow “barred” her from the sets and writers rooms, highjacking the series from her. Uh huh, the person who runs LucasFilm seemingly has zero control over one of the shows.
It’s just because they’re so mad over how she handled the sequels trilogy that they’re too stubborn to admit she may have overseen at least one aspect of Star Wars that was done right in their eyes.
Disney Reportedly Developing Young Indiana Jones Project
They need content for Disney+, Indy is always a big draw when a film is released and it will have a blaze of publicity with the new movie, there's resistance to recasting Ford but Young Indy has been done before so seems acceptable...
No idea if the rumour is reliable but it doesn't seem totally unbelievable.
not surprising
new take on that.
As with Bond, casting the right actor would be crucial; Phoenix dis a great job.
Phoenix was wonderful (and it's so sad because he clearly would have been a Ford-level star today) but he was ultimately doing a Harrison Ford impression for the purposes of the film- he wasn't trying to make it his own. I guess a new actor who actually gets the role would have to do a Roger Moore and do it his way rather than copy his predecessor.
Yep I'm sure, but I'd be pretty surprised if the idea hasn't been floated at Lucasfilm/Disney.
No question about it. But the website is hogwash.
