    Thanks for posting that @mtm ! So Indy 5 will take place in the 1960s. I was expecting early 1970s, but I have no problem with the 60s. I wonder how much of the film will take place in NYC.

    You'd have to imagine it would only be the early part of the film before he travels to somewhere more exotic/rural, but who knows really?

    I'd quite like him to tangle with the Mafia or something, that seems in the Indy wheelhouse.

    I would have thought by now INDY 5 would take place in the 1990's.
    Just kidding, more like late '70's.

    The first movie was set in 1936 so sometime in the 70’s makes sense. I suspect that some mild de-aging will be done on Ford, who actually look great, so the 1960’s is possible.

    I wonder how much, if any, location filming they'll actually do in Manhattan, given the period setting and the fact that this is scheduled to shoot at Pinewood Studios.

    It would be funny if it was released in 2022 and it takes place in 1962. THERE would be a 60th anniversary present! Could the new game be a movie tie-in? I’m not too worried about Indiana Jones requiring internet connection for the new game. Reason why is because I think more older gamers are more interested in Indy than younger. Plus, Gotham Knights has been confirmed by the creators not to be internet connection required. They want people to enjoy it for as it is. Hopefully, more video game companies will follow soon. Namely the COD games! I’m just after the main story campaigns, same with Indiana Jones.

    Yes good point, they may even do the old Liverpool/Manchester trick.
    Did Donovan live in NYC in Last Crusade?

    Judging from the skyline in his apartment, I'd say yes.

    I think it will really depend on how much of the movie they plan to set in New York.

    If it's only going to be a little part of the movie, I could see them maybe filming there on location for a couple of weeks, tops. Using places like Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, Pinewood etc to double for the rest.

    On the other hand, if a large percentage of the movie takes place there then it would make sense for them to do a much more extensive location shoot.

    Much like how only 10% of Batman Begins (which took place in locations all around the world) was shot in America, while more than half of the Dark Knight (which took place mostly in one city) was filmed there.
  • I doubt anything beyond the first act of the film will be set in NYC. Keep in mind that Indy teaches in the fictional town of Bedford, Connecticut, which isn't supposed to be far from NYC. So I can picture him following some goons to NYC, perhaps having a car chase or some sort of smaller setpiece, and then getting on a plane/train/boat soon after that to depart for somewhere more exotic.

    Bedford's a real place, in fact.

    Really? Huh! I guess you learn something new every day. I never bothered to look - I have always assumed it was fictional. Thanks for the correction!

    Technically, you're both right.

    It is a real town, but it's located in New York State, not Connecticut.

    It's in Bedfordshire, silly :)

    lol. +1

    The locations used for the University are an interesting mish-mash of places that are all 3,000 miles away from each other.

    The exterior in Raiders is the University of the Pacific in California. The exterior in Crusade is the Rickmansworth Masonic School in Hertfordshire, which also played the interior in Raiders. Meanwhile, Crystal Skull filmed its interiors and exteriors at a real Connecticut Ivy League university; Yale.

    Where did they do the interiors for Crusade? Rickmansworth again?

    Funny thing is they're supposed to be two completely different schools in Raiders and Crusade (in different States I think), but I doubt many people noticed that! :)
    I think in Crystal Skull he's gone back to the one he worked in in Raiders again. Oh yes it must be because they actually reuse the same shot from Raiders for the exterior.

    My honest hope is if its the last one they are searching for the Garden of Eden it makes sense thematically as the Garden of Eden is essentially heaven

    Plus maybe I am showing my bias as a christian but for me the films work better when they are hunting for Judeo-Christian artifacts.

    Since it's fantasy, why not? Except that I would be afraid of getting some metaphorical ending, like "heaven is inside all of us", which I would hate. In an Indy film, I want an actual climax.

    They have a different kind of charisma. But sure, Cooper is a very enjoyable actor.

    I agree that the movies have more of a punch when Indy is searching for a Judeo-Christian MacGuffin. They tend to be richer in theme and emotion. Raiders, for example, is not "about" an archaeologist searching for lost treasure. Raiders is about an atheist becoming a believer; he thinks the "power of God" is all hokum and talks about it dismissively at the beginning, but by the end of the movie, he believes fully, with his eyes closed, in that very power.

    Incidentally, I'm an agnostic, so I'm not trying to push religion on anyone. This is all just a long way of saying that the films (at least for me) are much richer when they have those religious aspects.

    I'm an atheist--an anti-theist even--and I agree as well. ;-)

    That said, my favourite film in the series is TOD, but simply because I love the adventure of it all. When it comes to MacGuffins, there's no substitute for the Arc in Raiders or the Cup in Crusade.

    It proved too sensitive a subject. We deemed it best to shut it down.

    Yes, my Religion Thread was closed down in June 2018. Ultimately, it was for the best. I realised it was a mistake to ever have created such a thread here. The same goes for the political threads I created. Still, you live and learn as you get older.

    Well, the puzzle game itself is fun. ;-) As long as it's not QAnon...
