"Indiana Jones - Jäger des verlorenen Schatzes" (1981) wurde von George Lucas und Steven Spielberg erschaffen und von Harrison Ford zum Leben erweckt...
Indiana Jones, ein junger Archäologe, schreckt vor keiner Gefahr zurück, um historische Schätze zu bergen. Kaum ist er dem heißen Dschungel Südamerikas mit einem uralten, geheimen Inkaschatz entkommen, da wartet schon das nächste Abenteuer auf ihn. In Ägypten begibt er sich auf die Suche nach einer geheimnisvollen Bundeslade, welche die original Steinplatten von Moses 10 göttlichen Geboten enthält. Nicht die historische Bedeutung ist das reizvolle an dieser Aufgabe, sondern eine geheimnisvolle übermenschliche Kraft, die sich derjenige zunutze machen kann, der die Truhe besitzt. Diese Tatsache fordert auch einen anderen Mann heraus, der mit solchen Mächten ausgestattet Herrscher über die Welt werden könnte: Adolf Hitler. Er schickt seine besten Männer, um Indiana Jones zuvorzukommen...
"Indiana Jones und der Tempel des Todes" (1984)...
Indy begibt sich auf ein neues Abenteuer, das ihn in das Herz von Indien führt. Zusammen mit seinen Wegbegleitern Short Round (Jonathan Ke Quan, u.a. "Goonies") und der bezaubernden Nachtclubsängerin Willie Scott (Kate Capshaw) entkommt er nur knapp einem Mordanschlag. In Indien angekommen finden die drei Gefährten ein vom Untergang gezeichnetes Dorf im Dschungel. Um die Bewohner retten zu können, muß der heilige Sankara-Stein gefunden werden. Indy, Short Round und Willie begeben sich auf die abenteuerliche Suche nach dem magischen Kristall. Die gefährliche Spur mit vielen unliebsamen Überraschungen führt sie in den Tempel des Todes, ein unheimliches Labyrinth einer finsteren Macht. Noch ahnen sie nicht, welche tödlichen Gefahren ihnen bevorstehen...
"Indiana Jones und der letzte Kreuzzug" (1989)...
Bei der Suche nach dem heiligen Gral ist ein Jones nicht genug. Gemeinsam mit seinem Vater Henry Jones (Sean Connery, u.a. "James Bond 007"), zieht Indiana Jones in den letzten Kreuzzug. Über drei Erdteile - Amerika, Europa, Asien - geht die gefährliche Jagd Kopf an Kopf mit seinen Gegenspielern. Und bei diesem Wettrennen bleibt Indiana Jones keine Wahl: Er muß alles wagen, um zu gewinnen, denn für den Verlierer bleibt nur der sichere Untergang...
1992 folgte die TV-Serie "Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" (dt. Titel "Die Abenteuer des jungen Indiana Jones") mit Sean Patrick Flanery als junger Indiana Jones...
Mit "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" (dt. Titel: "Indiana Jones und das Königreich des Kristallschädels") kam der langerwartete 4. Teil am 22. Mai 2008 weltweit in die Kinos: Steven Spielberg führte erneut Regie und Harrison Ford gibt nochmals den Indy. Das Drehbuch wurde mehrfach überarbeitet und im Dezember 2006 fertiggestellt. Die Dreharbeiten begannen am 18. Juni 2007 und endeten am 12. Oktober 2007. U.a. wirken mit Shia LaBeouf (u.a. "Transformers"),
Cate Blanchett (u.a. "Der Herr der Ringe"),
Ray Winstone (u.a. "Departed - Unter Feinden"),
Jim Broadbent (u.a. "Bridget Jones", "Die Chroniken von Narnia: Der König von Narnia") und
John Hurt (u.a. "Alien", "1984")...
Übrigens: Es sieht ganz danach aus, als würde es weitere "Indiana Jones"-Filme geben - evtl. auch mit Shia LaBeouf in der Hauptrolle...

CS! sprach mit George Lucas über "Indy 5"...
ComingSoon.net: [...] You had huge success this summer with "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Are you seriously thinking about another one? Harrison Ford's said there may be plans afoot.
George Lucas: Yes - we're looking for a "MacGuffin," which is an object that he goes after. They're very hard to come by!
CS: Would you want to keep the whole family together for a film - Indy, Marion and Mutt?
Lucas: It really depends on what it is Indy goes looking for and then how the story falls out of that, and then how convenient or inconvenient to have the group there. [...]

MTV sprach kürzlich mit Harrison Ford...
MTV: [...] Is a fifth Indiana Jones film inevitable?
Ford: I don’t know. If we come up with a good idea...
MTV: Is the ball in George’s court at this point?
Ford: It is. That’s the process. With some general input he goes off and searches for the MacGuffin and then stumbles into a story. And at some point we have a chance to take a look at and give some input.
MTV: And he hasn’t found the MacGuffin yet?
Ford: No, we’re still in the primary stages.
MTV: The end of the last film leaves your character in a very intriguing position. He has a wife and a kid. Can he still be that man of adventure with those commitments?
Ford: And he’s seen something. Remember those are the only witness to what he’s seen. That’s kind of interesting.

CS! sprach mit Karen Allen, u.a. über "Indiana Jones 5"...
Q: [...] How open are you to getting the band back together one more time or perhaps doing something with Shia if there was a spin-off done?
Allen: I would say very open to it. This was a delightful experience and I would welcome it.
Q: Has anyone raised that possibility?
Allen: Not really, except for fans. I've had a lot of people ask if there's going to be another one, but not anyone officially. Do you know something that I don't? [Laughs]
Q: If there were to be a fifth movie would you do it because you want to SEE it?
Allen: I would just love to see where they would take it. I'm a fan in the sense that I'm interested in whatever George and Steven would come up with and whoever else they would bring aboard - David Koepp or whomever. I would just be interested in seeing where it does go from here. So now Shia is onboard and he's become this new and interesting part of Indy's life. I'd like to see them do another one because I'd like to know what happens next... And I'd also like to see how Marion and Indy, what that marriage would look like. So here we'd probably be coming up with the next one that was '56 and '57 and so by the time they'd do another one we'd be in the '60s, and that was a kind of interesting and transitional time for marriages anyway. Women were becoming more like Marion and less like that kind of Doris Day of female of the '50s. [...]

Die LA Times zitiert Harrison Ford, u.a. bzgl. "Indiana Jones 5" und "Indiana Jones Animated"...
Harrison Ford said Friday that momentum is building for a fifth movie in the "Indiana Jones" franchise and that George Lucas is already cooking up a suitable plot for a heroic senior citizen with a penchant for whips and fedoras.
"It's crazy but great," the 66-year-old Ford said. "George is in think mode right now." [...]
Now, though, the latest success and the fact that the franchise's old machinery was revived has Ford thinking a fifth movie is not only a viable idea, but an attractive one.
"It's automatic, really, we did well with the last one and with that having done well and been a positive experience, it's not surprising that some people want to do it again," Ford said.
I asked Ford who specifically is stirring up the idea of another revival, whether it was Lucas, Spielberg or the star himself? "Really, it comes from the ethos, from the ether. It's natural. It's a way of nature, of course, success breed opportunities ... also we don't stay as closely in contact as have in the last year, that's part of it."
Ford said, though, he would not be game to making an animated "Indiana Jones" film, a notion that became at least a possible option after Lucas took his "Star Wars" theatrical saga into the computer-generated realm with "The Clone Wars" this summer.
"I'm not philosophically against doing animation roles but not for Indiana Jones," Ford said. "I'd hate to see it reduced in any way from the movies that we have done and the way we have done them."
The iconic star said he had some doubts that his long-gone archaeologist hero would be an automatic 21st century sensation.
"It was never a lead-pipe cinch," Ford said. "It was a calculated business risk but I believe it paid off. I was somewhat surprised and gratified to see it did the business that it did. It was successful in almost every market. The first time we showed it to a disinterested outside audience was at Cannes. That' s a crap shoot of the first order. Not only is that audience sophisticated and film-knowledgable, it's French! And it's their country and their festival and we somewhat expected to be seriously slapped around. But we were not, we were embraced...it was very gratifying." [...]

MTV.com sprach mit George Lucas über Teil 5...
[...] George Lucas told reporters at the Cannes Film Festival that he already had an idea for a possible "Indiana Jones V," and that it centered, not on Dr. Henry Jones, but on his son, Mutt Williams (Shia LaBeouf).
Three knife-flipping, tree-swinging, accident having months later and that idea? It’s kind of, well, "Nuked the Fridge," Lucas told MTV News.
Asked whether he still considered Mutt Williams a strong enough character to drive an "Indiana Jones" film, Lucas was adamant that Indy just isn’t Indy without Indy. Or, to put it another way: No.
"Indiana Jones is Indiana Jones. Harrison Ford IS Indiana Jones," Lucas said, dismissively adding about a character he helped create that, "If it was Mutt Williams it would be ‘Mutt Williams and the Search for Elvis’ or something."
It’s unclear what changed Lucas’s mind about the character, or whether he would necessarily return at all - even in a sidekick capacity. That said, "The Search for Elvis" is hilarious.
Of course, talk of an eventual "Indiana Jones V" is something of a giant hypothetical anyway, even as Lucas continued to stroke the fire of anticipation at his Big Rock Ranch near San Francisco, insisting that work IS being done to find a suitable object for another installment.
"We ARE looking for something for him to go after," Lucas said. "They are very hard to find. It’s like archeology. It takes a huge amount of research to come up with something that will fit." [...]

SciFi.com sprach mit George Lucas über Teil 5...
[...] preliminary research has begun on a story for a possible fifth Indiana Jones movie, but added that such a film is one of dozens of potential projects currently crowding his schedule.
"It sits on the shelf there as one of 50 projects that I have to deal with," Lucas said in an interview on Aug. 4 at his Big Rock Ranch in San Rafael, Calif., where he was promoting the upcoming computer-animated feature film Star Wars: The Clone Wars. "And if I can come up with a story ..."
But, Lucas added: "It's very hard to come up with stories for that thing. You know, It's really impossible. Because it has to be real. It has to be something that actually happened. It has to be something people know about. It has to be supernatural. It's a really difficult research project. Which they're researching now. You know, and last time it took 14 years. So ... " [...]

TimesOnline.co.uk sprach mit George Lucas, u.a. über Teil 5...
[...] Lucas is also considering what to do about the fifth instalment in the Indiana Jones franchise, which he has produced from the outset. The most recent film, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, has taken almost $750m (£375m) at the international box office, and the whip-snapping archeologist remains in high demand, even though his own days as a whippersnapper are behind him (Harrison Ford is two years older than Lucas).
"We were hoping for box-office figures like that, which is, ultimately, with inflation, what the others have done, within 10%," Lucas explains. "So, we squeaked up there. Really, though, it was a challenge getting the story together and getting everybody to agree on it. Indiana Jones only becomes complicated when you have another two people saying ‘I want it this way’ and ‘I want it that way’, whereas, when I first did Jones, I just said, ‘We’ll do it this way’ - and that was much easier. But now I have to accommodate everybody, because they are all big, successful guys, too, so it’s a little hard on a practical level.
"If I can come up with another idea that they like, we’ll do another. Really, with the last one, Steven wasn’t that enthusiastic. I was trying to persuade him. But now Steve is more amenable to doing another one. Yet we still have the issues about the direction we’d like to take. I’m in the future; Steven’s in the past. He’s trying to drag it back to the way they were, I’m trying to push it to a whole different place. So, still we have a sort of tension. This recent one came out of that. It’s kind of a hybrid of our own two ideas, so we’ll see where we are able to take the next one." [...]

CS! berichtet über die Einspielergebnisse...
Paramount Pictures and Lucasfilm Ltd.'s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, directed by Steven Spielberg, produced by Frank Marshall and executive produced by George Lucas and Kathleen Kennedy, crossed the $300 million mark domestically yesterday -- and topped $400 million overseas last Friday. With a cumulative gross of more than $713 million to date it is the highest grossing worldwide release of 2008.
"Indy" gave Paramount's distribution arm its second $300 million plus release for summer 2008, joining Marvel Entertainment's Iron Man, which has grossed more than $309 million so far domestically (and almost $250 million overseas). Paramount becomes the first studio in movie history to release two back-to-back $300 million plus grossing films two years in a row. In 2007, two consecutive Paramount releases, DreamWorks Animation's Shrek the Third and DreamWorks/Paramount's Transformers, both surpassed $300 million domestically.
