The accompanying magazine article is now out and reveals in an interview with cast and co-writer Jez Butterworth interesting details of the story. As already suspected, this time Indy will be in the 60s be visible. Nonetheless, he’ll be there again old enemies get to do and must at the same time Race to the moon get involved.

Indy faces old enemies again

Thanks to Empire Magazine, we’re finally getting more from Indiana Jones 5 in the form of images to see. But more importantly, we get more info about the story. The article included in the magazine confirms previous reports that the film is set in the 1960s. More specifically, the story is year 1969 playing when the Americans were in the middle of a race with the Russians for first place on the moon.

The race to the moon is also in the foreground for Indy, because old enemies are said to be involved in it. “The simple fact is that the moon landing program was run by a bunch of ex-Nazis”explains Indiana Jones 5 co-writer Jez Butterworth. “How ‘ex’ they are is the question. And that pisses off Indy.”

A hero who has fallen out of time

Butterworth also hints in the interview that Indy will be a hero in the new film, who fallen out of time is. Understandable, because it is well known that he had his greatest adventures in the 1930s. That probably also explains the picture from the magazine published a few days ago, which shows Indy in front of the urban jungle of new York shows, with which he will probably not be particularly familiar.

“It’s not just that they’re looking for something where there is nothing”Butterworth continues. “It’s like Reno without the gambling, or whatever his saying goes. But the people behind it are his sworn enemies.”

Inspiration from history

Here comes Mads Mikkelsen’s villain Fuller into the game. The new role of Fantastic Beasts Stars was inspired in part by real Nazi and later NASA engineer Wernher von Braun. “He is a man who wants to correct some of the mistakes of the past”Mikkelsen said of his role. “There’s something that could make the world a much better place to live in. He’d love to get his hands on it.”

“Indiana Jones wants to get her hands on it too. And so we have a story.”

Harrison Ford is happy with the result

Also main actor Harrison Ford spoke up in the interview. According to him, this new story “Full of adventures, full of laughs, full of real feelings. And it’s complex and sophisticated. The shooting was hard, long and tedious. But I’m very happy with the film that we have.”
