After many years of development, Harrison Ford's final film as the legendary Henry "Indiana" Jones will finally see the light next year. Shooting is set to begin this summer with James Mangold (The Wolverine, Logan) at the helm with Steven Spielberg producing. Phoebe Waller-Bridge has been cast as the female lead while Mads Mikkelsen has also been cast in an unknown role. The film is scheduled for release on July 29, 2022.

There currently filming in the North East of England, at Bamburgh castle. A location used for many films and T.V shows, including Peter O'Toole & Richard Burton movie Becket(1964). Back in April Tom Cruise was in North Yorkshire to film scenes for Mission Impossible 7. It seems the North of England is popular with Hollywood at the moment.

It sucked... :crying

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (USA, 2023) [DCP] – 1.5/5
Colossally disappointing follow-up to three of the best (the fourth one was thankfully never made) adventure movies of all time. It’s so bad that the opening CGI fest where Harrison Ford has been digitally de-aged is actually the least of the film’s problems. Gone is all the wonder and suspense, religious myths, exoticism and risqué violence, and the cockiness of its protagonist, replaced by by-the-numbers dullness served in an excessively digital looking package. Gone is also Indy’s son, replaced by an even more annoying god-daughter character Ford has zero chemistry with. The old man himself sleepwalks through the film and looks very old. Okay, he is old but sadly the film doesn’t do anything meaningful with that fact: there are no funny gags let alone anything more sophisticated like old Indy having to come up with an alternative plan of action due to being past his prime. Speaking of action, there is not a single inspired or exiting action beat in the entire film, nor a joke that would make one laugh. Any remotely good bits are recycled from the old films, with dozens of familiar moments especially from The Last Crusade remade here in a slightly different context but without the old magic. Any characters who aren’t familiar from the old films are mere substitutes for missing old characters, e.g. Mads Mikkelsen’s duller than dishwater Nazi villain, Indy’s god-daughter substituting for his father, and even a new Short Round. And then there's the titular item, the dial of something that they forget to mystify or make meaningful in any way. What’s good then? Well, it’s still Indy on screen. And the ending, as dumb as it is, is at least of some interest.

I liked this,nothing new or inventive but it wasn’t as bad as some are making out.Loved the cgi de-ageing(the voice wasn’t on point though)and the set pieces.For me it was better than the kingdom of the Crystal skull,not the best Indy but not the worse and credit must go to the 80 plus Harrison Ford who can still grab your attention.Worth a watch.

I enjoyed the action, even at 80 it's fun to see Harrison Ford deliver those huge, swinging roundhouse punches.

Otherwise, the script was dull, the goddaughter was a mean spirited misfire and there is none of the fun of Spielberg's films (Crystal Skull is much better than this).
