Indiana Jones 5 Trouble: Ford Injury, Mangold’s Tantrum, and the Angry Britons

Hollywood actor Harrison Ford was injured while filming “Indiana Jones 5 “(Indiana Jones 5). This is reported by the edition Deadline with reference to the statement of company representatives Disney

The incident occurred during a rehearsal for a battle scene. According to preliminary data, 78-year-old Ford injured his shoulder, but it is not yet known how serious the injury was. While filming is ongoing, the production schedule may be adjusted. The decision will be influenced by the opinion of the doctors.

Note that in 2014 the shooting of the film was suspended “Star Wars: The Force Awakens“(Star Wars: The Force Awakens). An elderly Ford broke his ankle due to a faulty hydraulic door that was part of a studio set Pinewood… The injury was serious, and Disney had to pay $ 1.6 million for a safety violation

Harrison Ford’s health remains a major risk factor for Lucasfilm. It’s not just about the age of the actor, but also about the pandemic. Insiders previously reported that the filming of Indiana Jones 5 was supposedly scheduled to be postponed to August 2023, but in the end they began in early June.

Published Daily mail photographs from the set do not inspire optimism either. The actor has given up a lot in recent years, and special markers could be seen on his face. Obviously, Ford has been digitally rejuvenated in post-production. You can also find photos showing a stunt double wearing a rubber mask based on the actor’s face.

Filming takes place in East London (East End), which only complicates the task. This not only affected the cost of production, but also caused outrage among local residents.

So, Lucasfilm rented a house for 70 thousand dollars. The owner of the property left for a week, but the neighbors faced “hell 24/7”. It’s not just about the noise – the film crew blocked the street, preventing cars from passing. All nearby parking spaces were also occupied by vintage cars that the studio uses in the film.

The cherry on top was director James Mangold, who got into an idiotic squabble with Lucasfilm fans and critics on social media. The filmmaker began to aggressively ridicule the commentators, who supposedly sit in basements and have achieved nothing. As a result, he switched to foul language.

“What are these” fans “? They are clearly not Harrison Ford fans. Not my fans. Not very much like Indie fans,” – said Mangold in one of his hysterical posts.

Indiana Jones 5 is slated to premiere in July 2023. The project is supervised personally by the head of Lucasfilm Kathleen Kennedy, who specially came to London. Producer Steven Spielberg refused to work on the fifth part.
