At the time, the announcement that Steven Spielberg I wasn’t going to direct ‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Fate.’ After all, he had taken care of the previous four films in the saga and it was hard to imagine that any other director could take care of the fifth installment. The chosen one was finally James Mangold and now Spielberg has already been able to see ‘Indiana Jones 5’ and has not hesitated to issue his verdict on the matter.
“It’s a really good movie”
The also director of ‘Jaws’ has taken advantage of his time at the Time 100 Summit to open up about what the experience of watching an Indiana Jones movie not directed by him has been like. The first thing he commented is that he still had it recently, since he saw ‘Indiana Jones 5’ just two days ago, commenting on the following about it:
Bob Iger did a screening for many of the Disney executives, and I attended the screening along with director James Mangold. Everybody loved the movie. It’s a really good Indiana Jones movie. I’m very proud of what Jim has done with it.
In fact, Spielberg he was so satisfied with the result which also noted the following: “When the lights came up, I turned to the group and said: Damn! I thought he was the only one who knew how to do one of these“What a compliment on his part for the head of titles like ‘Logan’ or ‘Le Mans 66’.
Unfortunately, we will still have to wait a little longer to see the result for ourselves. Its official presentation will take place on May 18 during the Cannes Film Festival, but its arrival in Spanish cinemas will not take place until next June 30th. It will be then when we can see one of the most anticipated movies of 2023.
