The fifth and final installment of the coveted
Indiana
franchise was unveiled at Cannes Film Festival, and won the Palme d’Or. Okay, okay. It actually received an honorary Palme d’Or as a surprise, but Harrison Ford still says that the feeling of the world premiere yesterday was “indescribable.” After the divisive fourth installment of the series with Spielberg’s last outing as the director, it was nearly unthinkable that they would try to attempt a fifth one with Ford’s ever increasing age, since the adventures of an explorer is physically demanding.The Hollywood Reporter has recently reported on Ford’s reaction to this surreal experience as he also received a special career tribute at the world premiere on Thursday. He described seeing the compilation of his decades of work as “extraordinary.”
Talking to the press, Ford adds, “The warmth of this place, and the sense of community…the welcome is just unimaginable. It makes me feel good.” Ford responded to a reporter by saying, “Why now?” Harrison replied, “Isn’t it obvious?” The Henry Jones Jr. actor added, “I wanted to complete the five, I want to round out the tale.” Director James Mangold would add,
“There are so many expectations on a film like that and you will only be able to meet some of them because everyone has their Indiana Jones and there is no way you can please everyone.” But you also have to deal with the other hesitations of such a legendary I was trying to figure out the most honest way I could make a film that felt like mine. You know, I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark when I was 17 years old in an upstate New York mall on opening day and it’s one of the reasons I’m a movie director.” Ford would conclude his sentiments by saying he thought Mangold made a beautiful film. Ford explained that it was a great experience to play the role again. There’s a bit of myth and a bit of magic, and they all belong together in the same box. And when it works, it’s fucking magic.”Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
will ride into theaters on June 30
