Indiana Jones Fans "Blown Away" by Digitally De-Aged Harrison Ford in New Trailer
Blown Away!
Even though it’s just two brief shots, de-aged Harrison Ford is uncanny. You cannot tell me these aren’t shots from a previously unreleased Indiana Jones film. Absolutely blown away pic.twitter.com/3m5pOafyYS

These side-by-side shots show that director James Mangold is topping his own work in Logan (with its de-aged Hugh Jackman clone) with Idiana Jones 5.
Even Better In Motion

Hi-res still images invite a lot more scrutiny. The real test of a movie is how the picture looks in motion. In this case? Pretty spectacular.

Between Indiana Jones 5 and Avatar: The Way of Water, Disney is getting awfully close to not even needing live actors anymore!
See It All Together

This does look spectacularly good.
How Old is OLD?
I love how they de-aged Harrison Ford for the new Indiana Jones movie because they want him to be old but not *that* old 😂

Remember the easy days when all an actor needed was a silly wig and some extra layers of makeup to play a younger adult version of themselves?
So Good It Could Be Unused Footage

It may not be this user, but some people out here are genuinely getting fooled out here thinking these are previously unseen scenes from the older Indiana Jones movies.
That Valley Is Still A Little Uncanny

At the end of the day, there is still a tiny big of psychological disturbance from seeing an actor digitally de-aged in this way. But the gap is closing, quickly.
