Harrison Ford to be de-aged for flashback scene in Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny

Harrison Ford to be de-aged for flashback scene in Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny

'Indiana Jones 5' is all set to be released on June 30, 2023.

Harrison Ford starrerIndiana Jones and The Dial Of Destiny is set to feature a 25-minute long flashback sequence wherein Ford will be seen playing a 35-year-old with the help of cutting-edge technology for a grand opening scene. Director James Mangold has opened up about Harrison Ford’s de-aging process in the film.

On the advancement in technology that is enabling the de-aging process, director James Mangold said, “We had hundreds of hours of footage of him in close-ups, in mediums, in wides, in every kind of lighting, night and day, I could shoot Harrison on a Monday as, you know, a 79-year-old playing a 35- year-old, and I could see dailies by Wednesday with his head already replaced”.

Sharing the goal of depicting two contrasting realities from the past and the present, James Mangold added, "It was an incredible technology, and, in many ways, I just didn’t think about it. I just focused on shooting what’s (approximately) a 25-minute opening extravaganza that was my chance to just let it rip.

"The goal was to give the audience a full-bodied taste of what they missed so much. Because then when the movie lands in 1969, they’re going to have to make an adjustment to what it is now, which is different from what it was."
