The new poster for the Indiana Jones movie titled Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is out. It is done by Drew Struzan who was responsible for the original movie posters.

Are you sure that's new? I swear I've seen it before...

*Tester Scott* · 12/24/2007, 02:36 am

It might be a week old. I have been a little slow on my rounds in the movie's the past couple months.

It's a couple weeks old.

*Tester Scott* · 12/24/2007, 03:06 am

Man I am really slow. Eh whatever. I love Indiana Jones and this gives me an excuse to add to my post count. I have to have one of the lowest post counts in the office. It is embarrassing.

Silly Bob · 12/24/2007, 03:23 am

I like it alot, it just doesn't quite feel like the old ones. It's still AWESOME though.

ShaggE · 12/24/2007, 03:39 am

I'm not a big Indy fan, but I love how the poster doesn't look like the vast majority do nowadays. It looks like an honest-to-deity 80's film poster, which makes me a very happy panda.

xChri5x · 12/24/2007, 03:58 am

I'm sure there will be another one which will be the "main" one.

ShaggE · 12/24/2007, 04:55 am

I hope not, it was bad enough when my beloved horror films started using that cookie-cutter "photo of antagonist surrounded by photos of protagonists sorted by level of Hollywood fame" poster design.

To do something like that to a series like this is pure movie geek heresy.

**Jake** · 12/24/2007, 10:39 am

Haha. Blame the Scream poster for that.

I'm sure we'll get a more collagey Indy poster in the coming months, but the old films had posters like that as well. They (in this case, the LucasFilm marketing department) knows what they're doing.

Linque · 12/24/2007, 11:08 am

They knows!

The pressure making this film must be incredible. Even if it would be perfect, I'm not sure it would be good enough to fill the expectations. I really do hope the best for this flick, though I'm not sure if Indy's time of glory has passed. Will people still be interested?

I have a feeling that no matter how good it is, it will be lambasted. It could be something as trivial as Indy's fedora being tilted too far to the left, as long as the die-hards have something to nitpick at, hoo boy will they pick those nits.

**Jake** · 12/24/2007, 03:54 pm

I love lambasting.

Linque · 12/25/2007, 12:43 pm

When you're pushed, lambasting is as easy as breathing.

Talking about sequels, just two months until Mr. Rambo is back. I was so astounded by the quality of Rocky Balboa that I'm really looking forward to it.

I'm sorry, but when I saw the poster for the Rambo movie surrounded by drooling fans, I had to scream RAMBO SUCKS RAMBO SUCKS RAMBO SUCKS!!! I can't stand the Rambo movies

Indiana Jones is great though

Only problem I have is, isn't Harrison Ford a little bit old to be playing him now?
Oh well, we'll just have to wait and see how it turns out..

That's a very common (and mind you, one of the stupidest) points of criticism towards the new movie. Why would he be too old? It's not like he's still playing a 35 year old Indy

LuigiHann · 01/03/2008, 03:42 am

I don't think "isn't he a little old?" is a criticism, per se. More of a concern. He might break something, you know?

I know that; but I mean more in terms for the actor. I would be pissed if a cool stunt came up, and he turned into CG because the actor wasn't willing to do the scene. And I'm not saying that his age means the movie is going to be bad, in fact, I'm if anything, very glad that Harrison is still playing Indy, since he's really the only person who could play the character.
