I'm blowing off class to watch it on 'Good Morning America!' I've been anticipating and talking about this movie for more than a decade. The man with the hat is back...

Sounding as if it's beginning to teeter limply on the lip of the pit of crumminess. I expect I'll probably see it for old time's sake, at some point.

Why? Because of the alien thing? That really fits in with Indiana Jones land pretty well; Runways of the Gods and all that. It's not exactly any more implausible than showing proof that God and Christ definitely did exist, is it? Although possibly the two viewpoints aren't compatible, depending on which version of the faith you subscribe to...

Well, the poster didn't exactly show the skull so clearly.

It didn't, but it's clearly not normal, even on the poster.

Here's another view of it, in a rather pleasing form:

A Holy Grail keyring! At last!

Nice. I don't have plans to see The Spiderwick Chronicles so, hopefully, this will be online by Sunday.

[Harmsway]

Nice. I don't have plans to see The Spiderwick Chronicles so, hopefully, this will be online by Sunday.

As I posted above, it'll be online Thursday morning.

[DamnCoffee]

I wonder if the teaser is leaked early? I seem to remember the teaser for Casino Royale was.

Beginning to?

However:

Ditto.

I see the new banners, etc, on the official site are using the old Temple of Doom 'Indiana Jones' logo, rather than the one on the teaser poster.

[Harmsway]

Yeah, the original logo seems to be in play most places. Not that I'm one of those who particularly minds the slightly revamped logo.

Thanks for drawing my attention to this, Harmsway.

Here's the cover of the comic book adaptation of KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL. You can look at it as you eagerly wait for the trailer to be released in less than 36 hours.

[sharpshooter]

Looks great. This trailer has snuck up on me, I can't wait to see what it looks like.

[Jackanaples]

I've read that article posted previously that said the movie was going to be closest in tone to LAST CRUSADE and an interview with Lucas where he said it would resemble RAIDERS the most. Hope Lucas is right and it leans more toward the latter rather than the former. I really hated LAST CRUSADE.

I know I'm in the minority on that. Just felt the movie was too jokey and didn't have a feeling of danger or breakneck action to it. Even trying to watch fifteen years later didn't help. All it did was remind me of how much I didn't like it and all the reasons why.

Naturally, I'll be buying my ticket for the new Indy movie as soon as possible and go to the first show possible hoping for the best. I'm excited by it being somewhat inspired by 1950s monster movies like THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD (one of my all-time favorites). Looking forward to seeing what they do with that idea.

[sharpshooter]

The Last Crusade is my favourite Indy film. It may or may not be the best, but it is a joy to watch.

Strangely enough, this week's big Spielberg news may have nothing to do with this long-awaited trailer.

Kingdom of the Smashed-In Skull.

One wonders why he took the role, unless it was to deliberately turn around like this later on.

Maybe the next film will be INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF FALUN GONG.

Indeed. Must say, though, I'm brimmin' over with respect for Spielberg at the mo. Might even check out the trailer of his latest barrel-scraper as a reward (I'm sure he'll be so pleased).

Me too. It's definitely going to bring a lot of attention.

I'm sure you'll get a thank you note.

A question for the Harmsmeister or anyone else in the know: is this going to be just a teaser or the "proper" trailer, i.e. two minutes or so in length?

BTW, what's with the uglification of Cate Blanchett? Yes, yes, I know she's supposed to be some kind of stern Soviet villainess, but there was surely no need to make her look like Rosa Klebb. They should have gone the Pola Ivanova route, which would have required her to simply turn up looking as stunning as she normally does. Why she was made to wear that ghastly wig is beyond me.

The German trailer (which will air on Friday 15th on ProSieben at 20:12, FYI, German CBners) is announced with a running time of 1:58.

It was despicable that a country with such an atrocious human and animal rights record got awarded the games in the first place.

It's a long teaser. From those who have seen it, it doesn't give away any plot details - just some humorous exchanges of dialogue and some clips of action.

I couldn't be more excited about that wig and her overall appearance. I love it.

[00Twelve]

She's one that just looks really dang attractive no matter what her hair color is. She looked ridiculously pretty in Bandits with FIRE ENGINE RED hair, and (being a brunette kind of guy), I think she looks "a-paretty a-nihiiice..." with the brunette hair.

[Jeff007]

This snuck up on me. Can't wait for tomorrow.

Same here- I think it's a rather fantastic cartoon look.

Hey, I think she's never looked hotter.

Me too. I want a session with Cate the D'trix.
