Someone has seen Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Jeff Wells has the scoop from someone on the Crystal Skull team over in Spielberg-land (read: I’m not sure how much you can believe this over-the-top positive report), and here are the highlights:
- “The best of the Indy sequels.”
- “The film has the strongest supporting cast of the sequels.”
- “There are many breakneck set pieces, with a protracted jungle chase being particularly memorable. As well as being evocative of the truck chase from the first movie.”
- “…an ending that any longtime diehard fan of the films could only dream about. Expect a particularly resounding reaction in the theater.”
You can read the full report on Hollywood-Elsewhere.If those kind of quotes don’t get you excited than I dont know what will… oh, maybe some new production photos? A bunch of new production photos have also surfaced on the web, most of which appeared in an unnamed foreign magazine:
Images Removed at Request from Paramount
ScaryBunnies726 has a bunch of photos from the Universal City Metro Station in Los Angeles, California, which has been taken over Indiana Jones marketing.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull hits theaters on May 22nd 2008.

i hope this is true!!!!

I hope the movie will be good in the spirit of the previous movies, or else it would be a tremendous waste of time.

This is good news, indeed. Sure, it’s hard to determine the veracity of this review, but any positive words are welcome after all the badmouthing from the motherfuckers at CHUD.
I’m glad to hear comparisons to the seminal truck chase from “Raiders” and the (apparently) satisfying ending. Also, it sounds like the supporting cast delivers, in spades.
I’m positive Lucas and Spielberg will pull this off, against all odds. Only 30 days to go, gents…

WTF is going on with the 4th pic?
April 21st, 2008 at 7:10 am
Some of those pics look amazing…
April 21st, 2008 at 7:39 am
I sure hope George Lucas doesn’t manage to make a Phantom Menace out of this one.
April 21st, 2008 at 8:05 am
@George.
Are you talking about yourself in the third person? Are you saying you hope you don’t line up a week before the movie opens?
Or are you saying that the ” other” George Lucas better not have ruined the.. “wicked awesome film you have imagined in your head since you were a child”…. That you are concerned that maybe it might not live up to the potential it should have after 10 years of of rolling around in your candy apple?
I’ll do you a favor then…Get ready to be disappointed.
From where I stand.
Indy 4 looks contrived and unnecessary.
The red flag for me is Shia. aka: Short round.
Theres no reason to introduce a new character into the Jones franchise unless you want to pass the torch. I am not willing to be made to think I’m watching Indy 4..when in reality I’m watching an origin story, Episode 1 of ” Mutt the Adventurer “
April 21st, 2008 at 10:25 am
Why are people analyzing the movie to shreds before anyone has even seen the thing? That’s my question. How can anyone say with certainty that the movie will be a disappointment? How can the poster above be certain that Shia’s character will be another Short Round? The short answer is, quite simply, that they can’t. The only people that you are really setting up for disappointment are yourselves.
Here’s a special suggestion for those of you who seem to be a little agitated over the movie: since you will obviously be seeing the movie regardless of what your opinion of it might be before it comes out, why not abandon any pre-conceived expectations and opinions and judge the film for what it is - AFTER seeing it? It’ll save you a lot of time and energy, and, quite frankly, will probably make the experience better for you.

This movie is directed by Spielberg. That guy has never dissappointed me once. If he’s directing, then it will be butter, you guys need to stop trippin’.
April 21st, 2008 at 11:32 am
ok ok ok, Paramount, STOP now.. I don’t want 367 photos and 25 videoclips of Indy. You already screw Ironman
April 21st, 2008 at 11:34 am
Ha-Ha, oh George!
Hey guys, don’t listen to my clinically insane friend. This movie will be a blast for the kids and for the adults!
Just please, go see it, so I can continue to fund my 5 villa’s and hot rods.
And my cocaine habit.
April 21st, 2008 at 11:54 am
That review sounds fake.
April 21st, 2008 at 12:05 pm
Can’t wait! I’m glad there’s some word on the film now. I believe that the supporting cast will be great and Cate and Shia, especially.
April 21st, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Is it a cross on the second picture ? :) hmh arent we over this religious thingie?!?
April 21st, 2008 at 6:41 pm
The review is from John Williams, who’s probably a little biased. But I suppose the conductor isn’t necessarily the guy who has to be singing praises about a movie, so who knows? Regardless, if they went through nineteen years of story and script ideas and we all know that none of them are hurting for cash, I think it’s gonna be a blast!
I am concerned, however, that the last shot of Indy looks remarkably like he’s on a runway that I saw featured in an episode of The X-Files………………………..
April 21st, 2008 at 9:41 pm
hope it’s good
April 21st, 2008 at 11:27 pm
well, you know that the ark is going to make an appearance…and a disappearance. I just can’t wait to find out what they do with that. This is going to be a fun time at the movies.
I don’t understand why people might think that Spielberg doesn’t know how to deliver an exciting sequence any more.
The jetpack chase in Minority Report?
The introduction of the tripods in WotW?
It doesn’t get much better than that.
April 22nd, 2008 at 2:15 pm
I sure hope this reviewer knows what he’s talking about…I don’t want this movie to suck.
