Blade Runner 2049fame shared with Entertainment Weekly,
“I know that that is my face. It’s not a kind of Photoshop magic – that’s what I looked like 35 years ago. Because Lucasfilm has every frame of film that we’ve made together over all of these years.”
“This process, this scientific mining of this library, this was put to good [use]… It’s just a trick unless it’s supported by a story, and it sticks out like a sore thumb if it’s not honest, it’s not real… I mean, emotionally real. And so I think it was used very skillfully.”
Ford also shared with Empire that seeing his de-aged look was a little spooky. He added,
“This is the first time I’ve seen it where I believe it… I don’t think I even want to know how it works, but it works. It doesn’t make me want to be young, though. I’m glad to have earned my age.”
Disney production’sIndiana Jones And The Dial Of Destinywill be in theaters on August 02, 2025.
