Indiana Jones 5 Release Date Up In The Air!!!

The long awaited and highly anticipated Indiana Jones 5 was said to have a 2018 Release Date, but we are hearing Indiana Jones 5 Release Date Up In The Air.

Last week Jurassic World broke box office records so franchise options are being pitched left and right, but when it comes to the long awaited and highly anticipated Indiana Jones 5 project producers feel otherwise.

CelebNMusic247.com has this update of the fate of Indy 5:

Last month producer Kathleen Kennedy confirmed to Vanity Fair that another Indiana Jones film, “will one day be made inside this company. When it will happen, I’m not quite sure. We haven’t started working on a script yet, but we are talking about it.”

Then, fellow producer Frank Marshall now tells /Film that there are currently no discussions for a fifth installment when he was asked if Indy talk was just a Internet RUMOR.

Frank Marshall replied:

“Yeah. I mean, we’ve had no discussions on Indy 5 to date.”

Meanwhile, AICN reports that Lucasfilm is targeting Q4 2018 for a new Indiana Jones movie, and even though that’s clearly a rumor at this point, I can see that happening. If they nail down Chris Pratt, who was previously rumored to take over and is now an even bigger star after Jurassic World, and get the rest of the wheels moving on getting a new Indy movie going, then it could be a fresh start for the franchise. Additionally, if Star Wars moves to summer starting with Episode VIII, then there’s a gap at the end of the year where Disney-Lucasfilm could also make some money.

Whether or not we actually need a new Indiana Jones movie is up for debate, but for Disney shareholders, I’m sure there’s no question on whether they want to see adventuring archeologist back on the big screen sooner rather than later.

We hope they figure it out, get Chris Pratt on board and decide on a 2018 release date, since the last Indy movie was sort of bust, you know the one with Shia LeBeouf, who has since fell off Hollywood’s radar. It appears that the fame and celebrity was too much after he was on the fast track to super stardom thanks to the Transformers franchise.

Thoughts?
