The French film festival will take place from May 16 to 27, and the film starring Harrison Ford hopes to debut on the second or third day.
It’s a homecoming of sorts for cinema’s most famous archaeologist. Fifteen years ago, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull they debuted at the festival, which has been a launching ground for tents in recent years. A year ago, Top Gun: Maverick, from Paramount, was screened in Cannes. And in 2018, Lucasfilm brought Solo: A Star Wars Story to the festival.
Dial of Destiny is once again starring Ford as Jones and features Phoebe Waller Bridge joining the franchise as the archaeologist’s goddaughter. the filmmaker James Mangold directs the feature film, which centers on a 70-year-old Indiana Jones. (Ford is 80 years old in real life.)
“I wanted to follow Harrison’s example and just deal with it directly,” Mangold previously told THR of meeting the character at this age. “It’s not just a movie about a hero in his later years coming back into action. It’s more than just that his bones ache, it’s that his soul aches, or that some of his optimism or sense of fitting into the world has evaporated.”
Ford previously starred in four Indy feature films directed by Steven Spielberg: Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Temple of Doom (1984), The Last Crusade (1989), and Crystal Skull (2008).
