This is how they rejuvenated Harrison Ford for Indiana Jones 5

Harrison Ford he will play a version of Indiana Jones as young as in the original saga. The images of the magazine show it Empire in the January 2023 issue (of which they have only shared the cover), in which the actor appears characterized and rejuvenated thanks to visual effects.

That doesn’t mean we’ll see a doctored version of Indiana Jones all the time. This age reduction technology is used only in the introductory scenes.which take place in 1944 and pit the hero against a group of Nazis.

But from there there is a gap, and the action flashes forward to 1969, says director James Mangold, who assumes this responsibility for Steven Spielberg. “So that the audience does not experience the jump between the 40s and the 60s as something that we told them, but as something that they experienced, with the same adventurous spirit of the early days.”

“My hope is that even if it gets out that technology was used, people will look at it and say: Oh, they found archived material. It’s something they filmed 40 years ago,” dreams producer Kathleen Kennedy. “We’re going to launch you on an adventure, something that Indy is also looking for, and that you will experience with him.”

Several techniques will turn Harrison Ford back into a young Indiana Jones, but the main one is ILM (Industrial Light and Magic) software that scanned archived footage from Harrison Ford’s youth before capturing it before the recently recorded scenes.

How does Ford feel about looking young again? A little scared, “But it’s the first time I’ve seen it and I believe it. I don’t know if I want to know how it works, but he does. Mind you, it doesn’t make me want to be young. I’m glad I earned my age.”

Then, most of Indiana Jones 5 takes place in 1969, when the curious archaeologist realizes that the lunar landing program is controlled by a group of ex-Nazis, something Indiana finds hard to believe.

It is even known that the antagonist will be Mads Mikkelsen, a character inspired by a real individual, the engineer Wernher von Braun from the Nazi past.

Indiana Jones 5 it is a working title. But his stars are weighty; we will see Antonio Banderas and John Rhys-Davids.

Among the plans of Disney and Lucasfilm is to create another streaming series for Disney, but for now it is known that the fifth Indiana Jones film will be released on July 30, 2023. (AND)
