Indiana Jones in Cannes

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is Steven Spielberg’s 4th Indiana Jones film. It was running out of competition at the 61st edition of The Cannes International Film Festival, On May, 18th in Cannes, France.

Harrison Ford, who returns to the role of Dr Jones 19-years on from the last movie, insisted he was not concerned about the critical reaction to his latest adventure, saying the only people who mattered were the fans. He said:

I expect to have the whip turned on me. It is not unusual for something that is popular to be disdained by some people and I fully expect it. I’m not really worried about it. I work for the people who pay to get in – they are my customers. My focus is on providing the best experience I can for those people.”

Yes sure, because the critics say the movie wasn’t as brilliant as expected.

But the crowd cheered those involved in the film, including Cate Blanchett, Shia LaBeouf, Ray Winstone, Karen Allen, George Lucas and John Hurt. The team received a standing ovation as they entered the cinema.

In Crystal Skull Cate Blanchett plays Irina Spalko, a hot Soviet agent whose elite military unit is scouring the globe.

When legendary movie director Steven Spielberg was asked if there will be any more of the sequel, he said there would be more Indiana Joneses:

Only if you want more of them… We will have our ear to the ground to hear what happens and that will decide where we go from here.”

Chinese actress Carina Lau with My Blueberry Nights director Wong Kar Wai and actress Charlie Young leave the festival palace after the gala screening.
