“It’s a really good movie!” Steven Spielberg loved Indiana Jones 5
The director appreciated James Mangold’s work: “And I thought I was the only one who knew how to make one!”
Obviously, he was the first (or one of the first) to see the film! Steven Spielberg dropped his beloved Indy to another filmmaker. It is James Mangold who had the heavy responsibility of taking over for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, which has just been released in cinemas. But Spielberg remains producer of the franchise and as such, he was able to discover the result first and foremost, from April 2023. Obviously, he is very happy with what his successor has achieved:
“Two nights ago I had this amazing experience“, he said during a masterclass organized by Time Magazine in spring. “Bob Iger has screened for many Disney executives, and I came to the screening with director James Mangold. Everyone loved the movie. It’s a really, really good movie IndianaJones. I’m really proud of what Jim has done with it.” says the filmmaker.
Certainly, Steven Spielberg, as a producer, is not going to torpedo the project. But he goes further in his support: “When the lights came back on, at the end of the screening, I just turned to the room and said: ‘Shit ! I thought I was the only one who knew how to make one!’“
Now that The Dial of Destiny has arrived in theaters, do you agree with Steven Spielberg?
