'Jock, start the engine!' - Harrison Ford returns as Indiana Jones 5 begins filming in the UK next week

“Jock, start the engine!” roared the beloved adventurer as he grabbed his fedora. That's right, Indiana Jones 5 is back in action, with the renowned Harrison Ford donning his iconic hat once again. As reported by Deadline, the much-awaited fifth installment of the Lucasfilm (now Disney) franchise is due to begin filming in the UK next week.

Cracking the Whip: Filming Begins in the UK

The rumors are indeed true. The illustrious set of Pinewood Studios and other locations in the UK will soon be filled with the energy and excitement of Indiana Jones's universe. Filming is imminent, and the adventure is only about to get more thrilling.

"Jock, start the engine!” Indiana Jones himself might have said in excitement, referring to the upcoming filming. This new journey follows the successful release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 2008, which, despite mixed reviews, raked in a whopping $800 million globally.

The Fedora Returns: A Star-Studded Cast and Crew

The 78-year-old Ford last wore his fedora in 2008, but the wait has been worth it. The film stars alongside talents like Mads Mikkelsen (Another Round), Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag), Boyd Holbrook (Logan), Shaunette Renée Wilson (The Resident), and Thomas Kretschmann (Avengers: Age of Ultron).

James Mangold, known for his marvelous work on Logan, is taking over directing reins from Steven Spielberg, who still remains an integral part of the film. The legendary John Williams, who has adorned the franchise with its iconic theme, returns as composer. The plot remains a well-guarded secret, with whispers of a 1960s space race theme, and shoots at the mystical Bamburgh castle.

Embarking on a New Adventure: What's Next?

With the release date fixed for July 29, 2022, fans are on the edge of their seats. The original Raiders of the Lost Ark, which marked its 40th anniversary this month, laid the foundation for one of the most cherished franchises in film history. This new chapter promises to build upon that legacy, unraveling more mysteries, and perhaps, revealing secrets behind the mythical artefacts.

In the words of Spielberg, who remains a producer for the film, “We're all excited to bring Indy back to the big screen.” As the world prepares for another thrilling adventure with Indiana Jones, one can only wonder what the hat and whip have in store this time.
