Before Harrison Ford, Johnny Depp premiered his latest film at Cannes.
Within this framework of Cannes, this new installment of Indiana Jones has another protagonist: “artificial intelligence”. Wearing it, the paleontologist played by Harrison Ford will have a somewhat rejuvenated appearance. In this regard, the actor, now 80 years old, gave some details in a recent interview: “This is my real face… at that age. Producers have an artificial intelligence program and you can review every movie that Lucasfilm owns, because I did several for them. They have all this footage, including a movie that didn’t come out. I put little dots on my face, say the words and they do what will be seen on the screen.”
According to James Mangold –director of this fifth Indiana Jones–, the story of the film that will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival begins in 1944, with the protagonist trapped in a castle full of Nazis. This framework forced the production to consider the rejuvenation of the features of Harrison Ford, who is now 80 years old and He last wore Henry “Indy” Jones’s suits fifteen years ago.
The dangers of artificial intelligence.
With this new Indiana Jones movie, Harrison Ford returns to the Côte d’Azur festival. Already I had been on the red carpet in Cannes as part of the cast of “The Conversation” –in 1974–, and of “Apocalypse Now”– in 1979–; both directed by Francis Ford Coppola and both also won the Palme d’Or at Cannes. And with Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford was in 2008, when he introduced himself. “The kingdom of the crystal skull.”
