I've heard about this movie for years, it's been in development hell which is the most difficult stage for a movie to pass and most movies end up getting dumped during this stage. Some films last decades in development hell, this being one of them.
This idea is nothing new, the big concern was making sure the same team including Ford, Spielberg and Lucas were all involved and they are. They've been working in this a long time which is nice because it shows they are going to put some real effort, time, and care into it.
The funniest tid bit I heard bout this film was Ford possibly walking due to a complaint over a very STUPID prop problem. Supposedly Ford's agent and the producers were so worried bout his health doing stunts at this age, they were going to not give Ford a real whip and use a CGI whip instead.
Ford threatened to walk and called it "ridiculous", demanding a real whip be used again. Far as I know a real one will be used but still, can't help but laugh at how anal and stupid this really sounds.
