“Mangold would "shoot Harrison on a Monday as, you know, a 79-year-old playing a 35-year-old, and I could see dailies by Wednesday with his head already replaced."
- bluefirebrand 4y agoWhat's the point of getting a 79 year old to physically do the acting if it's all digital after anyways?
- Aloha 4y agoAfter watching Harrison Ford on 1923, it's because he mostly moves like someone half his age still, but also, he moves like Harrison Ford.
- ASalazarMX 4y agoI've watched Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris, with Owen Wilson acting like the usual Woody Allen insert. Good actors can convincingly imitate other actors.
- Aloha 4y agoWhy use an insert when you already have the real thing? Like the rest of the movie has Ford in it, so why not just have him act the first part - you'd have to hire another actor to play the first whatever minutes?
- yamtaddle 4y agoThey must be thinking of the age he was (roughly) in the first two movies, with 1936 and 1935 settings (respectively). He'd be 35 or 36 for Temple, and 36 or 37 for Raiders.
- melling 4y agoAnd he played 39 for the Last Crusade in 1989 (shot in 1988?). Ford was born in 1942 so the de-aging puts him at the same age as the Last Crusade.
