After the immense success of the 2008 Indiana Jones movie, the Paramount Pictures is decidedly returning for a fifth movie. Here are all the details we could gather about the upcoming movie.
Indiana Jones Franchise
The Indiana Jones Franchise is a media franchise that was initiated in 1981, with the production of a movie based in the fictional world of Indiana Jones.
Dr Henry Walton Indiana Jone, Jr. is the protagonist of the franchise. Jones is a Professor of Archaeology.
This movies are inspired by the 1973 novel of George Lucas, titled The Adventures Of Indiana Smith. After publishing the novel, Lucas saw a great potential for a movie series in his story. He approached Steven Spielberg, an American filmmaker who happened to be his friend as well.
When the two were in agreement to take the project further, they approached Paramount Pictures. Paramount signed with them a deal of a five-movie series. Thus came the first movie in 1981.
The franchise has also produced novels, comics, and TV series.
