Not bad, but I could use a little more of the collage effect on the movie posters for the earlier films, with various villians and locales surrounding Indy. May be that they don’t want to reveal anything yet, though.

It’s not the years, it’s the mileage.

why do i get the feeling this is going to be more like Temply of Doom than Raiders of the Lost Ark?

“Nice, except that it would seem to indicate that the new Indy film has taken the questionable strategy of just pretending Harrison Ford isn’t looking old and decrepit these days.”

I don’t think he looks decrepit at all, and I’m pretty sure he could still hand you your ass, Sonny.

“why do i get the feeling this is going to be more like Temple of Doom than Raiders of the Lost Ark?”

In what way? And would that be a bad thing? I love Temple of Doom and actually feel like it’s the one that reflects that pulpy, Saturday matinee serial feel the best.

I get a Temple of Doom vibe. In my mind
Raiders>Temple of Doom>Last Crusade, so thats a good.

This past weekend they had the Young Indy movie which Harrison Ford has the cameos in the Prologue & Epilogue on the History Channel.

Karen Allen’s in this?! Outstanding.

This looks great. PERFECT. Glad to see Drew Struzan continued on the Indy posters…he’s so great.

Honestly…I don’t want this movie to suck! I’m looking forward to it and I don’t want a “Phantom Menace” level letdown.

Agreed with the other posters that this had a “Temple of Doom” feel. Are those Mayan/Inca ruins? They look Latin American….perhaps we have an amateur/pro archeologist that can confirm?

‘Honestly…I don’t want this movie to suck! I’m looking forward to it and I don’t want a “Phantom Menace” level letdown.’

No chance. Spielberg is directing, and he’s probably a better director now than he was back when he made Indy’s 1-3.

Although, Lucas did apparently curb some of the wackier ideas Spielberg had for the trilogy, as producer. Maybe the two are good for each other and cancel out any shit the other generates, in which case it’s a pity Spielberg did nothing while Lucas made Episodes 1-3.

My understanding is that it takes place in 1957

Yep, it takes place in the 50’s. I saw a photo somewhere with Indy at the school he works at and there was a picture hanging behind him with Brody on it. And as far as Matt slamming on Ford because of his age, dude, go to Indianajones.com and see the few pics leaked during shooting. For that matter, all Indy fans should check it out. As Martin said, we should all look as good in our 60’s. Besides, what’s wrong in getting older? Someday Matt, ya pup, it’ll be your turn someday. I guess we should just sweep ya under the rug once you get in your 50’s. Sheesh! There’s nothing wrong in getting older. It’s nice to see some of these older 80’s characters coming back and kicking butt; John McClean, Rocky, Indy, etc. Long live the old fogeys!!

This is a great teaser and I can’t wait for the next one too. My ONLY problem is it woulda been nice to see Indy looking a wee bit older. He looks the same as he did in Last Crusade. Still, I’m really lookin’ forward to this….and seeing Marion Ravenwood again….YES!

“Although, Lucas did apparently curb some of the wackier ideas Spielberg had for the trilogy, as producer.”

See, I’ve always heard it was the other way around.

“Does that Crystal Skull look very space-alien-y to anyone else, or is it just me?”

There’s a new article up on USAToday.com

http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2007-12-09-indiana-jones_N.htm

which mentions…
“The artifact of the title is inspired by real quartz sculptures of disputed origins that are carved in a way that defies the natural structure of the crystal.

‘The theory is they are shaped by higher powers or alien powers or came from another world, or an ancient Mayan civilization had the powers,’ Marshall says.”

“Actually, Spielberg directed several scenes in Episode III. I don’t have the exact details on me, but to my knowledge there were three scenes he did. The first was the large space battle over the capitol, and then two other CGI battle scenes.”

Spielberg only helped with the previsualization of certain scenes and storyboarding. He didn’t actually direct any parts of the film.

I’m thinking this is a teaser poster. There will most likely be a full montage poster closer to release date. All I can say is… Drew Struzan is the man!
