Harrison Ford Dons the Fedora Again for a New Indy-Themed Disney World Ride

Harrison Ford, 84, is set to reprise Indiana Jones for a new Disney World attraction at Animal Kingdom, where his likeness will appear as an animatronic for Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent. Ford revealed the project via a pre-taped message at the D23 convention; the ride is part of the park’s Tropical Americas expansion and will follow Indy through a Mayan temple and serpent-protected ruins, though Disney has not announced an opening date. This marks the first use of Ford’s image in an Indy attraction, even as the franchise’s cinema future remains uncertain.

Spielberg’s Bond Pitch Rejected, He Found His Indiana Jones

Steven Spielberg said on The Rest Is Entertainment that after Jaws he asked Bond producer Cubby Broccoli to let him direct a Bond film, but he was repeatedly turned down—even after offering to license Bond's five-note melody for Moonraker; George Lucas later pitched him Indiana Jones, which became his signature franchise. He also noted he turned down Harry Potter to spend time with family, and added that if Bond ever asked again, you can't afford me.
