'Indiana Jones 5' Release Date: Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg Still Needs A Script For New Installment
Disney previously announced that "Indiana Jones 5" is definitely happening and Harrison Ford will be back and reprise his role as the world's famous archaeologist. Adding more hype to the already exciting news is that Steven Spielberg will return to direct the film just like all four previous installments of the "Indiana Jones" franchise. However, a new report claims that there is no existing script for "Indiana Jones 5" yet.
Movie Web previously reported that although the existence of "Indiana Jones 5" is confirmed, there is no script for the Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg team up yet. This could spell trouble for the much-awaited fifth installment of the beloved adventure film. With no script on their hands just yet, this would mean that the development for "Indiana Jones 5" will take more time to begin.
Recent reports revealed that George Lucas is not going to be involved in the story of "Indiana Jones 5." According to Forbes, the disagreement of the direction of the movie resulted Steven Spielberg to move on without George Lucas. The site noted that while Steven Spielberg wants to retain the authenticity of the "Indiana Jones" franchise, George Lucas wanted the fantasy/adventure movie to shift to sci-fi.
Their different point of view for the fifth installment led to George Lucas' exit from "Indiana Jones 5." Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall are going to produce "Indiana Jones 5." Speculations about the "Indiana Jones 5" movie has been swirling ever since Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012, but the studio's first priority was understandably resurrecting "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."
Now that the "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" movie had a successful comeback, it looks like Disney is finally ready to turn its attention to another beloved franchise. Even with the new update, "Indiana Jones 5" is set to release in the US on July 19, 2019.
