As “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” rolls through its premiere schedule like a boulder chasing the eponymous hero, Variety spoke with Harrison Ford at the 69th Taormina Film Festival.
On the terrace of Hotel Metropole, Ford looked resplendent in his black tuxedo, reminiscent of the suave version of Indiana Jones that opened “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.” Despite a curmudgeonly reputation, underlined even more by his role as the scene-stealing psychiatrist Paul in the hit Apple sitcom “Shrinking,” Ford seems to be enjoying his goodbye tour as he celebrates his fifth and final outing as the whip cracking archaeologist.
Below, Ford discusses his favorite scene from “Indiana Jones 5,” the ongoing writers strike and why ordinary heroes are necessary.
I’ve heard you refer to Indiana Jones as an “ordinary hero” in the past. Do you think we need ordinary heroes today in both cinema and culture?...
