“Indiana Jones 5”: Odyssey before the start of shooting
Even before filming began, Indiana Jones 5 had come a long way. There were already plans for another film after the fourth part of 2008. “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” was not well received by many fans, but producer George Lucas (77) wanted another film.
The project only gained momentum in 2016. But several revisions of the script dragged on until 2019. Steven Spielberg (75), the director of the first four Indy films, handed over responsibility to James Mangold (58) in 2022. The rental company postponed planned start dates several times due to the corona pandemic.
