Indiana Jones and the Quadrant of Destiny – Harrison Ford is back to wrap up the Indy story
During a recent interview with Chris Wallace for the CNNHarrison Ford then reiterated that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull deserved a better ending and more complete. The actor is in fact firmly convinced that the epilogue of the fourth chapter shouldn’t also be the conclusion of the entire franchise, which will therefore take place with Indiana Jones and the Quadrant of Destinyready to close some outstanding issues and analyze some issues just mentioned The realm of the crystal skullfirst of all the passage of time and the aging of the protagonist:
Six years ago, I thought maybe we should try to make another one. And I wanted it to be age-focused, because I think that way we can complete the story that we’ve been telling, and carry it forward in the right way. I am trying to say, the last film ended with something of a hiatus. There wasn’t that feeling of closure or closure that the franchise deserved instead (…) I wanted it to be character-driven and I wanted us to openly address the issue of age, not hide it, but exploit it within the story (. ..) I like the sense of completion that the film offers and the way it talks about Indy’s age, without making jokes but making it a real problem. It was a lot of fun to see how well the CGI worked and I strongly think it’s the best example of rejuvenation we’ve seen so far. It doesn’t look photoshopped, it’s just my face from 40 years ago.
