That poster is friggin sweet! . I love the fact that they are continuing with the hand drawn effect.

Great traditional Indy poster.

[doublenoughtspy]

I didn't realize Dom Deluise was in this.

I know he isn't, but man the image on the left side of the poster is a dead ringer for him.

[Qwerty]

Outstanding poster. Very nicely put together.

[Mr. Blofeld]

Holy shoot!

I'm sooo glad they brought back Drew Struzan for this...

[Bondian]

Excellent.

[Royal Dalton]

Don't like it.

[The Dove]

Awesome!!! I love it..

Thanks.

Now I'm going to be thinking that every time I see Ray Winstone in the film.

Other than that, I like it. Rather interesting that they're so forward in presenting the Crystal Skulls as being non-human.

[Mr Teddy Bear]

Looks like an instant classic to me.

[sharpshooter]

I certainly hope it is. They have a solid trilogy already, I wouldn't want the streak to break.

[Harmsway]

The poster's adequate. I'm not overly impressed or unimpressed. It definitely has the Indy feel, though there's something missing that I can't put my finger on.

[DamnCoffee]

I think Indys pose isn't to good. Thats the problem.

Yes, IMO there are a tad too many other characters on the posters, and a more visible "Indy Girl" would have helped (I guess the S&M mistress-looking woman on the left, with the sword, is an antagonist?)

[Professor Dent]

I could see how you could say the poster looks a little "busy" but, overall, I like it.

[Royal Dalton]

The problem, for me, is that none of them look all that much like the people they're supposed to be.

The likenesses in this artwork by Steve Anderson are much better, IMO.

[6Joker9]

I'm not impressed by a considerable degree, but there's no question still that, my reaction aside, that the marketing has taken the right approach in terms of posters, pictures, etc. in order to work around nostalgia.

On a smaller note, perhaps I'm the only one is finding a little funny how they're trying to pass off Shia LaBeouf as an incredible bad-. He's something of a cool kid, but I think we got the idea already.

That's really quite good.

I don't think it has too many characters (previous Indy posters have had as many), it's just that it's rather generic. There's nothing about the composition that is particularly impressive, and none of the images are particularly gripping, either. It's a little "going through the motions." Compared to these classic posters, it just doesn't measure up:

(I guess the S&M mistress-looking woman on the left, with the sword, is an antagonist?)

Yes. She is Soviet agent Irina Spalko.

That's not the theatrical Last Crusade poster, this is:



I personally like the KotCS poster better.

As for the likenessses and the Steve Anderson art, well that's just a different art style. Anderson has gone for the ultra realistic, and it looks great, despite Mutt looking blank as if he were brain dead. Struzan's work is more glossy, polished and has a certain sheen to it, as if it is exploding of the page. Struzan is also kinder to the actors. I don't think it's that his likenesses are 'off', it is just a different stylistic dicision.

Anyway some geekgasmic news: another Indy trailer may be on the way this week.

I agree. And the films are MEANT to be "generic" as are the posters. That's sort of the point, isn't it?

[Harmsway]

I know. But it's the best LAST CRUSADE poster. I'm just pointing to Struzan's earlier work.

They exist within a genre, but they aren't supposed to be boring. The posters and films should be as exciting as possible.

[zencat]

Second trailer coming this week.

[Gobi-1]

False alarm.

No New Trailer This Week

[Mr Teddy Bear]

A new video focusing on Shia has popped up at the official site. Shows some behind the scenes stuff, worth a look.

[Harmsway]

Also worth mention is that, through some glitch, the cast bio section is now visible. As a result, we know that Ian McDiarmid is in the film as Professor Levi, and that John Hurt is playing

Spoiler

Abner Ravenwood.

[Tarl_Cabot]

The Emperor is in Indy 4? Cool!

Really?
