Disney has released the trailer for
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Fate
, the fifth film in the saga, which will predictably close the films starring Harrison Ford.
The Chicago actor was born in 1942, and will be 80 years old when the film opens next June.
42 years will have passed since the first installment: when the presentation of the franchise was projected on the screens, in 1981, Ford was 38 years old.
The success achieved by the intrepid character was such that the creators of the adventurer with the whip, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, embarked on the second part to release it in 1983. Six years later the third saw the light of day, in 1989. Harrison Ford spent the decade of his forties embodying for the second and third time the mythical archaeologist, one more of the American cinematographic symbols of the eighties.
After the initial furor passed, 19 years passed before Ford put on his leather jacket and worn hat again.
When the actor was 65 years old, he embarked on the project for the fourth part, the last one Spielberg has directed.
In the long minute and a half of footage published as part of the trailer for the fifth episode of the franchise, in one of the sentences Jones pronounces he explains that his adventurous days are over.
The actor is 80 years old.
In the saga it is common for a prologue to be presented at the beginning of the films, an introduction in which the adventurer is closing an expedition before going to the point where he recovers the artifact in turn.
On this occasion, as the director and Ford himself have revealed, digital technology has been used to rejuvenate the actor.
The plot of the films is summarized in the hero traveling far from his university to escape the dangers that stand between him and some lost archaeological treasure.
Each of the four released installments has presented a valuable object, a mixture of mysticism and creative writing, that the hero must find:
Throughout the footage, the archaeologist has found other objects.
It is common that at the beginning of the films there is a prologue, an introduction in which the adventurer is closing an expedition before going to the point where he recovers the artifact in turn.
For example, a gold idol from an unidentified South American culture that he recovers at the beginning of the first part.
Or the Cruz de Coronado, the crucifix that crosses the hero's life throughout the third.
