This is not meant to be a boast or a tease – after all it’s “Indiana Jones” and you clearly know by now we don’t really care. But we see Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skully-Thingy tomorrow at noon and the film is receiving its “world premiere” tomorrow at Cannes.
France is basically 6 hours ahead, (it’s 12:09 a.m. as we speak/write), but presumably the screening will be some sort of gala evening in the evening (presumably?) We will the pleeb blog see it before the rest of the “world”? Surely, bigger-name critics have already seen the film at proper review screenings, no? Something to consider on a Saturday afternoon while having a beer….
Meanwhile, Harrison Ford is convinced you’re going to think this is the year’s best film. You’ve gotta love this couched quote. It almost sounds like an apology. “We have a degree of confidence that it will be an experience that people will enjoy,” said Ford.
Ha! What is that?!? A “degree of confidence”? Oh, my.
As for the alleged Indy 5? Remember Steven Spielberg and Ford have to OK, George Lucas’ terrible ideas. Ideas that he appears to be well aware aren’t really adored by anyone. “Harrison, Steven and I haven’t talked about it. We can’t do it unless I can come up with a good idea, which I haven’t.”
