Oh god, nostalgia and film love, you’ve hit me right in the feels! When a franchise is such a part of your youth, and beyond, then there’s always that fear of the unknown when the ‘world’ carries on but also deep excitement. I’m very happy to say that the first trailer for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny looks like everything we used to know so well, drifting through the ages and with extra freshness and new, exciting possibilities – which is hopefully the best way it can go, after the so-so last outing.



Directed by James Mangold, and with a script co-written with Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth, the one and only Harrison Ford returns as the iconic archaeologist and adventurer and this time we’re into 1969, with the Space Race being the backdrop of proceedings as well as the classic crossover of government shenanigans, the Soviet Union being their competition and some ex-Nazi’s lingering in the shadows.
Alongside Ford, the film stars Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Antonio Banderas, Shaunette Renée Wilson, Thomas Kretschmann, Toby Jones, Boyd Holbrook, Olivier Richters, Ethann Isidore, and Mads Mikkelsen.
Was there a slight tear after watching this one? Yes, yes there was, let’s head out there for one more time…
I. Can’t. Wait!

Even after all those years, I can still feel a little bit of the awe I felt when I left the theater after watching the Raiders of the Lost Ark. I am dying to feel it again. Of course it won’t be the same, after all I am 53 now!!!

I hear you! I’d say go twice, when the time comes, as I’m always overexcited the first viewing (when it’s something I can’t wait to see), but this does feel right from this trailer. Really looking forward!

They brought back so many from the others but failed to bring back Karen Allen. That’s a real disappointment.

Hold that thought, I know they/Harrison wanted her. It’d be fun to have a few more surprises 👏
