Disney and Lucasfilm’s highly-anticipated “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” has scored a PG-13 rating ahead of its release on June 30th. The MPAA cites the rating as being for “sequences of violence and action, language and smoking.”
The PG-13 rating is unsurprising for the franchise, especially as the second film “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” was instrumental in the creation of that rating in the 1980s.
Set in 1969 New York, the film will somehow tie in with Operation Paperclip (Nazi scientists given amnesty by the U.S. Government in exchange for their scientific knowledge) and the space race against the Soviet Union.
American archaeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones is now mostly retired but is uneasy over the aforementioned arrangement. Meanwhile, Jürgen Voller (Mads Mikkelsen) – a NASA member and ex-Nazi involved with the moon-landing program, wishes to make the world into a better place as he sees fit.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge co-stars as Indiana Jones’ goddaughter, Helena, who accompanies him on his journey this time. Also starring are Antonio Banderas as an old friend of Indy’s, John Rhys-Davies reprising his role of Sallah, Boyd Holbrook as some kind of villain, along with Shaunette Renee Wilson, Thomas Kretschmann, and Toby Jones.
The new entry is being directed by James Mangold from a script he co-wrotw with Jez & John-Henry Butterworth and will mark 80-year-old Harrison Ford’s final outing as the famed archaeology professor and adventurer.
