We chat with IndianaJonesandtheDialofDestiny director James Mangold (mang0ld) about collaborating with Steven Spielberg, the key to understanding Indiana Jones, and tying together the franchise history:
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny picks up in 1969, with Dr. Jones on the brink of retirement when his goddaughter, Helena Shaw, appears unexpectedly. Helena pulls Indiana into one last adventure as they hunt down a dangerous artifact that he chased before. Jürgen Voller, a former Nazi scientist, is also hunting for the artifact, which is believed to be able to change the course of history, making the stakes even more dangerous.
Screen Rant spoke with James Mangold about Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. He discusses collaborating with Steven Spielberg, who is a personal hero of his, and closing the book on Indiana Jones' story. Mangold also broke down Waller-Bridge's role and how her series, Fleabag, caught his attention.
That's incredible. I think to make a great Indiana Jones movie it needs action, adventure, history, and mystery with a pinch of horror. This captures that. James Mangold: Way up the list! I agree. It is a stew. It is a lot of things and a lot to manage. Comedy, thrills, heart, adventure and spectacle all of these things work in harmony, but also can contradict each other. So is a lot of orchestration.
You're talking about a filmmaker who's who's been in my mind whispering in my ear since I started making movies 35 years ago, even as a super eight filmmaker as a teenager. So the idea of actually collaborating with him, of actually getting to spend time with him developing the script, talking to him every week or two while I'm shooting, and having him in the cutting room. These were gigantic opportunities to not just meet your heroes, but collaborate with them.
How do you find a graceful way to live your life in that last chapter? Especially when you're living in a world where merchandising, commercialization, rock and roll, moon landings, real politic, and nuclear threats have really eradicated the clear lines of the world we knew in the 30s and 40s when Indy's glory period occurred. The world was really simple Nazis bad, allies good.
So it's this beautiful set of contradictions in the character, not unlike Indy's contradictions. Both Harrison and I had been watching Fleabag at the time I was first coming on this movie, and there was no one on my mind more. The idea that she would be an incredibly fresh choice. Which always the female leads in the movie had been someone new I hadn't really seen much before, I felt would be really exciting.
