Indiana Jones and the deadlines of doom...

THE next Indiana Jones movie has been put back another year and the whip-cracking hero won’t be swinging back into cinemas until at least 2021. The Walt Disney Company announced yesterday that the fifth instalment in the franchise will be released in July 2021 instead of July 2020. The film was originally scheduled for release next year. Script issues are reportedly behind the delay. Last month, ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ co-screenwriter Jonathan Kasdan was enlisted to help write the film. Steven Spielberg is set to direct with Harrison Ford also reprising his role. The veteran actor will turn 79 years old in July 2021. Spielberg also has a number of films due for release and filming ahead of the Indiana Jones flick, including a remake of West Side Story.
