Indiana Jones is making a comeback — but not for a long, long time! Producer Kathleen Kennedy confirmed the news that Disney still has every intention to bring the adventure thriller back to the big screen during an interview with Vanity Fair.
“[It] will one day be made inside this company,” she said on Tuesday, May 5. “When it will happen, I’m not quite sure. We haven’t started working on a script yet, but we are talking about it.”
Kennedy’s statement may only be a glimmer of hope for fans, but it’s more satisfying than what Disney chairman Alan Horn said last year. “We haven’t done anything,” he told the mag at the time. “We don’t have a story. We need a story.”
Kennedy is currently working with Indiana Jones star Harrison Ford in yet another highly anticipated reboot — Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens. It was rumored back in February that Chris Pratt may be taking on the legendary titled role in a fifth film.
“It’s all nothing until it’s something, and so far? It’s not something,” the Jurassic World actor, 35, told MTV at the Oscars that same month. “I don’t think it’s overwhelming to contemplate,” he added. “The pressure would come because it’s such a great franchise, and you wouldn’t want to get it wrong. It would have to be perfect to do it.”
Ford, 72, previously played the iconic action hero in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008).
