It looks like we are getting one last Indiana Jones film from Harrison Ford, as Lucas Films release the official trailer of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. The 1 min 45 secs run time of the trailer seems short when you consider that not much is revealed in the trailer.
In the video, we can hear the voice of Indy’s old friend Sallah (played by John Rhys-Davies), asking if missed their old adventurous and dangerous life, then an old and retired ‘Prof’ Jones immediately replied “those days have come and gone.”
Trailer have all the element of a classic Indiana Jones film; the catchy music, the humor and the usual trip to an unknown Middle Eastern nation.
Here’s the premise of the film (Wikipedia);
In 1969, American archaeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones lives against the backdrop of the Space Race. Jones is uneasy over the fact that the U.S. Government has recruited former Nazis to help beat the Soviet Union in the competition to make it to space. His goddaughter, Helena, accompanies him on his journey.[2][3] Meanwhile, Jürgen Voller, a NASA member and ex-Nazi involved with the moon-landing program, wishes to make the world into a better place as he sees fit.
This will be the 5th Indiana Jones film and at the age of 80, Harrison Ford looks great in the video and its unclear if this film will be used to expand the Indiana Jones franchise, so that new character can take over or explored.
