According to director James Mangold, Indiana Jones and the Relic of Destiny features a 25-minute scene with a digitally rejuvenated Harrison Ford
Fifth film in the iconic action-adventure franchise, Indiana Jones and the Relic of Destiny rejuvenated Harrison Ford digitally, as the trailers and promotional materials showed. now the director James Mangold explained the reason for this decision.
During an interview with the magazine Total Filmthe filmmaker revealed how Indiana Jones appears younger in a scene lasting approximately 25 minutes, in which a character played by ford is about 35 years old. “It was amazing technology, and in many ways I just didn’t think of it,” he said. mangold in the conversation.
“I just concentrated on shooting what is a roughly 25-minute opening extravaganza, which was my chance to let it go,” continued the director. “The goal was to give audiences a full-bodied taste of what they’ve been missing so much. Because then, when the movie arrives in 1969, they’ll need to adjust for what it is now, which is different from what it was.”
James Mangold even revealed how the production team of Indiana Jones and the Relic of Destiny used a new visual effects technology, in which artificial intelligence sifts through all the footage from decades that lucasfilm had to Harrison Ford.
But the technology involved is something else. We had hundreds of hours of footage of him in close-up, medium, wide, in all kinds of lighting, night and day.
“I could film Harrison on Monday like, you know, a 79-year-old man playing a 35-year-old man, and I could see newspapers on Wednesday with the head already replaced.”
