With Steven Spielberg out of the running for the next instalment in the globetrotting adventure franchise, it’s time for some new blood
Yesterday’s surprise announcement that Steven Spielberg is stepping away from the director’s chair for Indiana Jones 5 was met with shock, disappointment and even anger. While Indiana Jones is equally synonymous with star Harrison Ford and co-creator/producer George Lucas, each film in the series (including the disastrous fourth entry, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) have all carried the vaunted Spielberg touch. The Young Indiana Jones series notwithstanding, the thought of someone else overseeing the adventures of the heroic archeologist just seems … wrong.
