I’m of the vintage where I was able to see the first film that featured Indiana Jones film in the theaters early in its run and I loved it quite a bit and recall being on the edge of my seat for much of it. Most of the film buff readers know that this didn’t even have his name in the title and ran under “Raiders Of The Lost Ark”. It’s hard to believe that this was some thirty one years ago but now Indy has returned for the fifth chapter in his story with “Indiana Jones and The Dial Of Destiny”. The first trailer was just released from Lucasfilm and I’ve got that along with the casting, basic premise and some promotional art. Check it out.
The Plot: In 1969, American archaeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones lives against the backdrop of the Space Race. Jones had started to feel doubts when the U.S. Government recruited former World War II enemies in their desperation to beat the Soviet Union out in the competition to make it to space. His goddaughter, Helena, accompanies him on his journey.[2][3] Meanwhile, Voller, a NASA member and ex-Nazi involved with the moon-landing program, wishes to make the world into a better place as he sees fit.
The Cast/Characters:
Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones
Phoebe Waller-Bridge as Helena
John Rhys-Davies as Sallah
Mads Mikkelsen as Voller
Boyd Holbrook as Klaber
Toby Jones as Basil
Shaunette Renée Wilson as Mason
Thomas Kretschmann in undisclosed role

Olivier Richters in undisclosed role
PiercingMetal Thoughts: I really enjoyed the first three films but for some reason I missed the fourth chapter somehow and will need to rectify that before June rolls around because I am all about continuity. This trailer looks good and I’ve been a fan of Harrison Ford for years and just enjoy his work overall. That’s all I have on this one so you out there in the readership are most welcome to chime in with your own thoughts. I will see you next time so please stay safe out there.
