Tom Cruise may have turned a year older recently, but the actor’s career is far from slowing down. Cruise, who turned 61 last week, has been a part of the entertainment industry since the 1980s and starred in over 40 projects. During a press conference for his latest film, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, in Sydney, Australia, Cruise revealed that he plans to be a part of the franchise for as long as possible. For context, the seventh installment in the Mission: Impossible franchise follows Cruise’s…

Harrison Ford isn’t taking any bunk.Screenshot: YouTubeStar Wars is just one of those things everyone knows. Whether you love it, hate it, or are indifferent about it, you’re almost surely aware of it. You know Darth Vader, you know lightsabers, you know John Williams’ music. So, when talking to Conan O’Brien, one of the other people everyone knows, Harrison Ford, couldn’t believe his eyes.James Mangold on his Future Star Wars Film | io9 InterviewAs you can see in the clip below, Ford hilariously roasts the comedian,…

Yup, that happened at the end of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Director James Mangold and the team took Indy to a place fans probably never dreamed we’d see him. And while there’s been plenty of debate and discussion about the hows and whys, really only one person can definitely speak about them: Mangold himself.Finding the Right Story and Tone for Indiana Jones 5 | io9 InterviewIn an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, the co-writer and director of Indy’s latest (and final)adventure spoke about the decision…

Image via Lucasfilm Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny should have been a hit. This is one of the most revered franchises in cinematic history, comes from a director with a string of critically acclaimed projects, and boasts bona fide screen legend Harrison Ford cracking the whip one last time. But sadly, it seems that opening weekend audiences simply weren’t interested. Dial of Destiny debuted to a disappointing $60 million domestic opening weekend and also cratered overseas at a paltry $130 million. When…

After scoring box-office bullseyes with Jaws (1975) and Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), Steven Spielberg blotted his Hollywood wunderkind copybook with 1941 (1979). A “comedy spectacular” set in the wake of the Pearl Harbor bombing (yes, really), 1941 cost nearly twice as much as Spielberg’s previous outing yet took less than a third of its box office. Chastised, the director teamed up with George Lucas on a project inspired by the serial cheapies of the 1930s and 40s. The result was the moderately priced…

via Walt Disney Pictures Disney is having quite the year.  From fighting political battles with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to conquering the box office with some of the biggest movies of the year, the House of Mouse can’t be stopped. Sadly, only Avatar: The Way of Water has become a global phenomenon. Other films like the live-action The Little Mermaid and MCU movies like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 have fallen short of expectations. Now, it’s up to Indiana Jones and the Dial of Density, which premiered…

By Lindsey Bahr | Associated Press Goodbyes don’t tend to mean much in the Hollywood franchise system. Death isn’t a reliable end for characters or, lately, even actors. Technology, nostalgia and the often-inflated value of brands and IP have created a nightmarish cycle of resurrection and regurgitation, curdling what we love most. And yet when someone like Harrison Ford says he’s hanging up Indiana Jones’ fedora, for better or worse, you believe him. “Indiana Jones” producer Frank Marshall has also said that they won’t…

It starts promisingly with an action sequence toward the end of the Second World War in which somehow, using the magic of CGI, Indiana is shown as a youngish man tussling with the Nazis. This is when he first encounters the…

Image via Lucasfilm Long before Tom Cruise was driving motorcycles off cliffs, Harrison Ford was swinging from a whip and punching (fake) Nazis. The acclaimed actor made doing ones own stunts cool while Cruise was still dancing in his underwear, and — now a full-blown octogenarian — Ford is still at it. He can’t quite manage many of the stunts he took on in his youth, but the 80-year-old actor still performs many of his stunts in this month’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. That’s impressive all on its…
