Speaking in regards to the great work done in the superb Indiana Jones and the Great Circle where Troy Baker inhabitted the role of Indy in the most traditional way, Harrison Ford made it very clear that he believes the future isn’t neccesarily driven by AI but rather by performance and skill of other actors bringing their own interpretations of Indy to life.
“You don’t need artificial intelligence to steal my soul. You can already do it for nickels and dimes with good ideas and talent. He did a brilliant job, and it didn’t take AI to do it.”
He also teased his future, planning to continue working (and why wouldn’t he, he’s having an incredible run of late with Shrinking, Yellowstone 1923 and the imminent Captain America: Brave New World keeping him very much in the public eye) but also hinting that the visage of Harrison Ford will ‘live on’ (so to speak) with others fuelling it via performance and technology.
“my plan is to keep working behind that face till I don’t care what happens anymore, there won’t be any need for me. There’s somebody behind me. Doing what I did.”
We’ll be discussing this and much more on this weeks episode of Making Tracks, out Tuesday at 7.00pm UK time.
