A collective groan echoed across the Internet May 5 as a new Indiana Jones movie was sort of confirmed.
It's been seven years since a bored Harrison Ford last picked up his whip to deliver a terrible movie. Should he don his fedora again, here are a few things we really don't want in a fifth movie in the aged franchise.
Harrison Ford
There are a whole lot of trilogies out there, but not many of them appeal to us or have as much staying power as the original Indiana Jones films. It's really hard to go wrong with epic archaeological adventures and the eternal hunkiness of Harrison Ford.These memes combine these epic movies with some seriously relatable jokes. Almost as fun as sitting down for a marathon. Almost.
In case you haven't heard, Harrison Ford crash landed a plane he was flying yesterday into a golf course in California-- don't panic, he's fine. Amidst all of the "good thing he was flying solo" and "he tried to make the kessel run" jokes, this is the only video you need, I promise.
I didn't know you could fly a plane!

Hot damn.
Harrison Ford continues on his mission to kill off all his iconic charcters.

Denis Villeneuve is set to direct Harrison Ford in a direct sequel to the 1982 classic scifi film Blade Runner. The film will take place several decades after the original, and Ford will reprise his role as blade runner and suspected replicant Rick Deckard. Unfortunately, the existence of this sequel answers one of the film's most oft debated questions with finality: if the now 72 year old Harrison Ford is playing Deckard, he can't a replicant. For what it's worth, Ford has said the script is the best he's ever read and the sequel is described as "potent" and "faithful."
Ridley Scott will produce the film alongside Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson.

At 73 years old, Harrison Ford stands to make at least $34 million for reprising the role of Han Solo. Ford was paid $25 million up front, and given a 0.5% share of the movie's earnings, meaning when the film hits $2 billion worldwide (it made over $500 million on its opening weekend), he'll get another $9 million. Meanwhile, Carrie Fisher only got $1.5 million to bring back General Organa.
Even that's a considerable bit more than what the film's two new stars, Daisy Ridley and John Boyega, received; they each only got $450,000 (but do receive a share of the profits once it earns $1 billion globally). If you're keeping track, that means Ford is making 56 times what they are, and 17 times what Carrie Fisher got.
Han Solo is a pretty big deal, but that's still pretty ridiculous. I guess it's a little bit of back-pay for the measly $10,000 he received for the original film.
