I actually recently re-watched The Indiana Jones Trilogy as I hadn’t really sat down and watched them in years - probably since I was a young ‘un. But they’ve actually aged very well - I mainly think it was due to the fact that the Indy Trilogy never really relied on any real special effects (which were always susceptible to looking quite tame and at times cringe-worthy, compared to modern standards anyways).
Anyways, below is the trailer for the much-anticipated next film in the series: ‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull‘ (which is being released almost 20 years after the last film in the series: ‘Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade‘). It’s worth noting that when the newest film in the series was announced, it’s fair to say there was a lot of reluctance among fans in the film community with the firm focus being on Harrison Ford playing the role again at the impressive age of 65.
But it’s a relief to say that from this trailer, he looks more than capable of playing the role and it all looks very impressive and exciting. It’s actually more or less a teaser trailer as it gives practically no real information on the storyline (and the dialogue is quite sparse). Steven Spielberg seems to be bringing Indy into the era of CGI - not sure if that’s a good or a bad thing.
It still looks like it could be one of the films of the year though (along with ‘The Dark Knight‘ of course), and I will be one of the first in line at my local cinema to go see it.
Speaking of which, expect it in the UK & Ireland in the Summer (or the 22nd May to be precise).
