ST Harrison Ford Unsure about Episode VII?

Just watch the interview again...
Cumberbatch: It's safe to say you're in it now right?
Ford: Why? *Mumbling to Cumberbatch* what did he (JJ?) say?

That statement suggests Cumberbatch is in on the film too and has knowledge the Ford will in fact be back.

 

Good work, Detective.

 

If Harrison has a choice to make, that definitely means he's been asked. I can't imagine he'd turn the role down. This would be the last time he'd ever play Solo in his life. I sure hope Benedict is in it too. He's awesome.

 

It looked staged to me.

 

There will be no more Indy films, especially IF Harrison plays hardball and refuses to participate in the biggest movie ever.

Disney already said that Indy is on the backburner. Harrison refuses to be in Star Wars then that atrocious Indy 4 is the last we'll have.

 

Exactly. Cumberbatch looked guilty as hell as he was hiding something. Looks like we will get someone from Trek crossing over the Star Wars cause of JJ. Harrison is clearly on a non-disclosure clause. He just can't talk about it. He can't announce it. It's in the contract. It's clear this was another duck and dodge. He's been doing it on talk shows now for the last calender year. I don't know when they are planning on announcing this but they obviously want to make a huge deal out of it. Wonder if it will be a press conference or interview of some kind with the Big 3.

 

Agreed! There are bad movies, then there is that abortion.

They spent years trying to "find the right script." IF that was the RIGHT script I shudder to think what was passed over. Almost everything about INDY 4 was terrible:

- The script
- Casting Shia Lebouf
- Refrigerators are nuclear proof -- we should just build our cities out of refrigerators then
- The flesh eating ants
- The sword fight through the jungle
- Indy having a kid
- Marion/Karen Allen

The only good thing about Indy 4 was Harrison Ford.

 

Just watched the Graham Norton Show on BBC iPlayer. Very coy, didn't outright say no, Benedict saying "You can say that you're in now, can't you?"....

He's in, or I'll eat Indiana Jones' hat.

 

I agree Chiznuk. I am starting to let go of my FANBOY side and believe that INDY and STAR WARS can become Brand Names without the same actors over and over. Star Wars just needs corrected using the ST to tie up all loose ends which ultimately gives the franchise rebirth. That's what Lucas and RM failed at when starting the PT up. Every time I discuss this it always ends up with me believing TPM was written, directed, and produced better than ATOC and ROTS.

 

Darth Chiznuk I agree with your point. A new Indy film with Harrison is a one shot because I don't think they could possibly film more than one with him at his age. Rebooting it after he did another one would be even harder.

Burrisjedimaster1 I have always thought that TPM was the best of the prequels for writing, directing, producing and acting. I think they spent more time working on it 93-99.

 

I also remember carrie fisher playing the same game about being in the next star wars films buy saying no and yes at the same time. The only one who seemed up to it was mark hamill when it was.in the early stages.

Hell we don't even know what the sequel or the post sequel trilogy will be about!

 

There's no need for a franchise there, IMO. I would like to see one final Indy film, his last great adventure and then give it all a proper ending. No passing the torch, no reboot. Sadly, this will likely not pan out, but a fan can hope, right?

 

Yeah, I'd like for Indy to FINISH with something better than 4. Sadly, they opened up a whole can of bad worms by doing 4 and negating the riding off into the sunset ending we had with 3. At this point I don't foresee an Indy 5 ever and I think Disney is of the same mind.

 

Well, to be fair...Indy 3 ignored much of what happened in Raiders (Where's Marion?), and Raiders (granted it was made first) ignored what happened in the 'prequel' Temple of Doom (Where's Short Round?). There's a history of ignorance there. Perhaps Indy 5 could ignore Indy 4 and give us a suitable finale.

 

I would love to see Indy rebooted with a new actor. There are a lot of potential Indy stories to be told.

 

From Wookiepedia:
Confirmed Trilogy
The Walt Disney Company purchased the rights to Star Wars from George Lucas in October of 2012. Disney has confirmed that a new trilogy will be arriving in 2015 and will be directed by J.J. Abrams. The films will have 2-3 year gaps between them alike the previous trilogies. The original trilogy cast will be returning, however the only confirmed returning roles will be Harrison Ford as Han Solo and Carrie Fisher as Leia Organa.

 

Which can be edited BY ANYONE...

Pass the pepper as we have a mountain of salt here.

 

Echo 7 and Buddha Fett I agree that there should be a fifth Harrison film. In fact I'd love them to do two films back to back with a stonger link than previous films that give Harrison closure on that role that he and Indy deserve. But that franchise (I hate that word) will be dusted off at some point and rebooted (and I don't want to use this term because I think many for the execs are better than this) for the Disney cash cow.

 

Indiana Jones and the Saucermen from Mars

I finally got a chance to watch that video of HF and BC. Uhm. Yea, they're completely in it. Unless they were pulling an amazing ruse of "let's act like we're in it and can't talk about it." Which is very unlikely because the host seemed completely oblivious that it wasn't officially announced yet. So yea. And HF avoiding the question to talk to BC about being a fan of his was a good tactic, until Graham changed his probing to BC.

Why they won't just announce it already is beyond me. In fact, at this point it's completely frustrating; we don't need a teaser trailer, or pictures of them in costume, or a big announcement ANYTHING. Just have Star Wars tweet it "Okay guys yea, the Big Three are in. Also BC." We'd go bananas and be too wrapped up in speculating for the next decade to even care about any other announcements.

 

The only thing I can guess is that they want everyone locked up and all their ducks in a row before making the announcement -- OR as George put it "a big whoop-de-do."

 

Don't forget Shia's Tarzan scene. Awful.
