The Fifth Indiana Jones Movie Will Begin Filming Next Year

Fifth Indiana Jones Movie

The fifth Indiana Jones movie will begin filming next year in the UK according to director Steven Spielberg.

Spielberg made the announcement during his speech at the Rakuten TV Empire Awards.  “It’s always worth the trip when I get to work with this deep bench of talent coming out of the UK. The actors, and the crew, the chippies, the sparks, the drivers — everybody who has helped me make my movies here, and will continue helping me make my movies here when I come back in April 2019 to make the fifth Indiana Jones movie right here,” he said as he received a Legend of Our Lifetime award.

In 2016 it was announced that the fifth film was coming with Harrison Ford returning as the title character and Spielberg at the helm. David Koepp, who wrote “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” was hired to pen the script.  At this point no other casting announcements have been made. The film is still untitled at this time.

The first four installments of the Indiana Jones franchise have grossed close to $2 billion in worldwide box office.  The fifth movie is slated to hit theaters on July 10, 2020.

Bob Iger Gets a Huge Pay Raise

Bob Iger Pay Cut

According to Institutional Shareholder Services, an advisory firm estimates that Bob Iger, CEO of the Walt Disney Company could earn as much as $423M over the next four years. But he would need to hit some performance goals set in his compensation packages. That would make Iger the 12th-highest paid U.S. CEO on an annual basis in the past 10 years.

Iger could receive the full value of $100 million in stock awards tied to a deal to buy film and television assets from Twenty-First Century Fox Inc, through 2021. Even if Disney’s total shareholder returns are middle-of-the-pack versus other big companies.

Iger made $36.3 million in the twelve months ended Sept. 30.

‘Black Panther’ Still Reigns Supreme at the Box Office

'Black Panther' Still Reigns Supreme at the Box Office

Have you seen “Black Panther” yet? If not, you might be one of the only ones who hasn’t. After being in theaters for 31 days, “Black Panther” is still at the top of the charts. The last movie to appear on top of the box office list for five weeks consecutively was “Avatar.”

This weekend, “Black Panther” took in an estimated $27 million at 3,834 theaters in the United States and Canada combined. This number was enough to keep it ahead of the newest installment of “Tomb Raider.”

Since “Black Panther” premiered last month, it has brought in a total of $605.4 million. It is the seventh movie to ever pass the $600 million mark in North America. Outside of North America, “Black Panther” has grossed $577.1 million. Collectively the movie has brought in $1.18 billion.

Will “Black Panther” be number one for the sixth week in a row? We will have to wait and see!

Sip on Something Sweet With the Cotton Candy Lemonade at California Adventure’s Cove Bar

Sip on Something Sweet With the Cotton Candy Lemonade at California Adventure's Cove Bar

The Cove Bar at California Adventure’s Paradise Pier area (soon to become Pixar Pier) has re-opened until the end of May with much-loved menu items prized by Disneyland fans once again available. This means that there’s still time to try out the amazing drinks that you’ll find both on the tantalizing cocktail menu and on the mysterious “hidden menu.”  One of our favorites has to be the technicolor Cotton Candy Lemonade.

This non-alcoholic drink is a delightful mix of Odwalla Lemonade, flavored with cotton candy and garnished with Cotton Candy.  If you have a sweet tooth (and by that I mean a very sweet tooth) you’ll love this crafty creation.

The Cove Bar will eventually close for good to make wake way for Disney’s new concept the Lamplight Lounge which will serve Gastro Pub cuisine as well as signature cocktails.  The new bar will boast picturesque waterfront views over two levels as well as outdoor seating that will provide the perfect spot for people watching on Pixar Pier as well as taking in World of Color.  The new concept is expected on open on June 23rd along with the rest of the Pixar Pier Area.

Readers are encouraged to keep following along with Chip and Co. for the latest Pixar Pier news and updates.

Pirates of the Caribbean Reopens Today with New Auction Scene

Pirates of the Caribbean Reopens Today with New Auction Scene

Today is the big day! The Pirates of the Caribbean reopens with the new auction scene featuring the famous “redhead” at the Magic Kingdom. The change was announced last summer and we already saw the repurposing of the controversial red-headed woman over at Disneyland Paris.

Pirates of the Caribbean Reopens Today with New Auction Scene

Pirates of the Caribbean Reopens Today with New Auction Scene

This has been a highly debated change within the Disney community. While many fans have a sense of nostalgia and hold dear the fact that Walt Disney himself helped work on the original attraction, others argue that we must keep with the times and Walt would have wanted the change.

Pirates of the Caribbean Reopens Today with New Auction Scene

According to Disney Parks Blog, Walt embraced change to the Disney Parks and encouraged everyone to “keep moving forward”.

Pirates of the Caribbean Reopens Today with New Auction Scene

In this new scene, the famous red-head has joined forces with the pirates. Now rather than being sent off for auctioning, “Redd” has pillaged the town’s supply of rum and is awaiting her turn to auction off real goods-  “Drink up me hearties, yo ho!”

Check out the video below.

Disneyland Park is scheduled to receive a similar update this spring beginning April 23rd.
