But this has changed in recent years. “Indiana Jones and a set of fate” may have been a massive flopBut none of this came down to Ford, which, in sharp contrast to his speech in 2008, “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Crystal Skull” seemed to really care about providing a sincere indie muffin. Ford also started pushing its bounds role Both were very well accepted and demonstrated their star at best. Meanwhile, the actor may still be in an interview, but he seems to have more sense of humor about it all these days.

It was a long road to get to this point. In his long career, Ford survived some really naked points, and in the early 2000s – one such examples. After trying to get out of his rally in the 90s and fighting, Ford continued his efforts to convince everyone that he was a great actor we all know today. “What is lying under the 2000s was several success, but the” casual hearts “of 1999 and the Hollywood murder did not do much for their careers. It did not help that between the two ill-conceived Ford’s projects starred in “K-19:” Widow-producer “, a semi-historical translation of the Soviet submarine Catherine Bigelov and a narrow allocated splitting in his reactor.

A Real survivors K-19: The widower was not a fan of the script And although they were attracted to advise production, obviously betrayed the film and its historical inaccuracies.

The misfortunes continued after the debut on July 19, 2002 “K-19”. The film earned $ 12.7 million over the weekend, which lacked $ 25 million.
