If Indiana Jones 5 is a risky bet in itself, the film could lose viewers with one of its big scenes in a process that hasn’t really impressed so far.
With Indiana Jones 5, James Mangold wants to honor the predecessors, but the director uses a little-appreciated technique to do so.
A look back at the opening scene of Indiana Jones 5
In the columns ofRichthe filmmaker has announced its intentions for the launch of Indiana Jones 5. For him it’s important, like the old movies, to put on a great show from the first minutes with a scene that exudes adventure.
I wanted to be able to immerse myself in those typical old George Lucas and Steven Spielberg movies and give the audience an adrenaline rush.
A sequence that will not take place in 1969, like the main plot of the feature film, but in 1944. What kind of witchcraft is this? Do you remember the plaster rejuvenation technique? Well, the director will use it Indiana Jones 5. ILM, Georges Lucas’ special effects company, took archival documents from a young Harrison Ford to blend them with images taken in our day.
Producer Kathleen Kennedy (Star Wars) hopes this trick will work for audiences:
I hope that even if we talk about it in terms of technology, the public will look at the film thoughtfully “Oh my god, they just found footage. It’s something they did 40 years ago.” You have to think right away, “I’m in an Indiana Jones movie”.
L’avis d’Harrison Ford
And Harrison Ford? He believes in that too.
This is the first time I’ve seen and where I believe it. It’s a bit scary. I’m not sure I want to know how it works, but it works. However, it doesn’t make me want to be young. I’m glad to have reached my old age.
Recently, the 80-year-old actor showed up in costume with the first picture of Indiana Jones 5. We were entitled to one too big bad nazi preview impersonated couple Mads Mikkelsen.
The technique of rejuvenation is not new in itself. Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker have been digitally altered in the latest Star Wars trilogy, as has Kurt Russell in Guardians of the Galaxy 2for a result that was not always well received.
