Spielberg and Ford Reunite as Indiana Jones Returns to Theaters July 19, 2019

Indiana Jones will return to the big screen on July 19, 2019, for a fifth epic adventure in the blockbuster series. Steven Spielberg, who directed all four previous films, will helm the as-yet-untitled project with star Harrison Ford reprising his iconic role. Franchise veterans Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall will produce.

“Indiana Jones is one of the greatest heroes in cinematic history, and we can’t wait to bring him back to the screen in 2019,” said Alan Horn, Chairman, The Walt Disney Studios. “It’s rare to have such a perfect combination of director, producers, actor and role, and we couldn’t be more excited to embark on this adventure with Harrison and Steven.”

Famed archaeologist and explorer Indiana Jones was introduced in 1981’s Raiders of the Lost Ark – one of AFI’s 100 Greatest American Films of All Time – and later thrilled audiences in 1984’s Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, 1989’s Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The four films have brought in nearly $2 billion at the global box office.

Honestly, I think Ford may be making a mistake given how bad shooting Episode VII was for his health. He'll be turning 75 in 2018, and there's got to be a limit.

That said one thing I liked about Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was that they didn't pretend that indy was this in his 30s but he was more or less as old as Ford was.

We see flashbacks of a young Indy, played by some appropriately aged and agile younger actor. Otherwise, no offense to Ford, but he's just past the kind of shenanigans I want to see Indy taking part in.

Nothing against Ford, I reckon he could still pull it off even as a 75 year old, but I just really wish they'd quit while they were behind.

To be honest I don't really recall them doing much physically demanding stuff. Not saying they didn't, but I've only seen the film once and the action was hectic to say the least. I don't recall seeing them do anything that challenged my SoD.
