Indiana Jones 5

HARRISON FORD TURNS BACK TIME

The Hollywood Reporter calmly announced that 80 year old Harrison Ford has been “de-aged” in his upcoming Indiana Jones sequel and will appear as a 40 year old fighting Nazis in the 1940’s, in the beginning of the film! Director James Mangold created the illusion using old footage as well as the actor’s original jacket. Even Ford is amazed by the result- he says “It’s spooky, but it works.” As this de-aging technology evolves, (and it WILL) we wonder how it will affect Hollywood in the future. Will popular movie actors like Tom Cruise or Chris Hemsworth have MUCH longer careers if they continue to look young? Will sexy female stars have a later expiration date?

HARRISON FORD AND ANTONIO BANDERAS REALLY LIKE EACH OTHER

Nice to see Antonio Banderas and Harrison Ford greeting each other with a big hug on the Italian set of Indiana Jones 5 when Antonio arrived for his first day of shooting. The film had a big setback when Ford injured his shoulder in June and he had to take a few months off. Back at work, he was happy to see Antonio, with whom he costarred in that ultra-macho movie Expendables 3 a few years ago. (Expendables 3 starred chest-thumpers Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Jason Statham, plus almost every other tough guy in Hollywood.) The highly secretive plot for this new Indiana Jones story has the daredevil archeologist supposedly time traveling and fighting nazis as well as visiting the 1960’s during the space race.
