Paramount Pictures has provided ComingSoon.net with the new poster for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Harrison Ford, Shia LaBeouf, Cate Blanchett, Ray Winstone, Karen Allen, John Hurt and Jim Broadbent. The teaser poster for the May 22 release was drawn by the legendary Drew Struzan.

Can't wait for this film. The first 3 are one of the best trilogies out there and speilburg is an amazing director. I disagree with anyone who says Harrison Ford is too old for the part, he is the face of Indi and besides, he doesn't look his age.

I liked most of the others. I'd say this will be awesome with special effects and such from nowadays. Shia LaBeouf is also a great actor for his age, a bit overated but all the same a good actor.

Oh goody, Shia LeBouf. I'm glad that they are choosing wonderful actors as opposed to famous ones.

This will most likely mar the legacy of Indiana Jones. Yet capitalism drives these people to such a destruction of the series, because this will inevitably bring the money flowing in like a river of green power.

Fuck Spielberg, fuck Paramount.

Such god damn ignorance.

Spielberg KNOWS what we want. He's not doing this for anyone else. Not even himself. He specifically said that this movie was made for the FANS of the series. And ONLY the fans. Sure Paramount is gonna get loads of cash, but who the fuck cares? Really?

Spielberg made this film for the fans without any pressure from Paramount, you idiot.

And the special effects in this movie will be exactly the same as the previous 3.

Spielberg stated that there will be no CGI and all the effects are the same effects that could be reproduced in the 80s to keep the feel the same.

Suffice to say, if you liked the first three then its pretty much GOD DAMN impossible to dislike the fourth one... since its going to be JUST LIKE the previous three. Same formula that made us fans in the first god damn place.

So, I don't know what your blabbering about, but since you don't know what the hell your talking about yourself, I suggest you be quiet before I get Al Gore on you.




I mean, its one thing to conform with other haters who hate for no reason, but hating while having no idea of what your hating is just ignorance.

LeBouf sucks.

Spielberg could've said that he was doing it for the sake of the homeless, doesn't change the fact that money is probably the main factor.

I don't give a shit what the special effects are.

The first three didn't have shitty overrated actors in them.

And I'm not conforming with anyone. I think it's a shitty idea. It doesn't mean that I have enslaved myself to a cult of Indiana Jones haters.

P.S. Fuck you, Mr Ebert. I'm sure that you're shocked and offended by my highly controversial opinion of thinking that the movie will suck, but I don't want to be part of your superiority complex. Get a grip, and don't call people idiots because their opinion isn't yours.

P.P.S Just because your best friend is a television doesn't make you better than anyone else here. You're not the distinguished film critic that you seem to view yourself as.

Sure money'll be a factor because they know that even if it was cheaply made then it'd rake money in because of name branding and insurance factors. But with that said we dont know that he isnt lying about him making a fourth for fans of the others, personally I dont see it as a bad idea as younger people have seen the first 3 and would want a new one while there here to enjoy it as part of there generation.

Well to be honest iAn, I heard the same soundbite when people were defending lucas carrying on with another Star Wars trilogy, and the only good film we got out of that was the last one.

It all depends on opinion, all the Prequel Trilogy are good films, sure none of them are a touch on the originals, but they are still amazing pieces of film.

He could have come up with a better name for it, I thought Temple of Doom was clutching at straws, but Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?

Eh, Phantom Menace and Attack Of The Clones were god awful in my opinon.

Revenge Of The Sith was WIN though.

Null's right on the money with the Star Wars comparison; I don't care what anybody says, as an old SW fan, I can safely say those movies were utter shite (III being an improvement but even that was lacking).

It's good to see they're not turning it into a CGI whore but regardless I'm a bit cynical as to how it'll shape up to the trilogy. If there's no Nazi's being slaughterd by the dozen then I won't be sold.

I don't see how you could already have an opinion on a movie that hasn't even finished filming.

And how you already hate the movie while supposedly liking the previous three.

I mean, Spielberg is using the same god damn formula that has worked for him in the previous three.


And I didn't call you an idiot for having a different opinion. I called you an idiot for not having any idea of what your talking about.

Hmm, did I call myself a film critic here?


No?

Gee I wonder why... maybe its because of the fact that I never did call myself a movie critic in the first place.

What I do around here is mostly post information on upcoming movies. Maybe I'll throw in a movie review every once and a while, but usually I just post movie news.

That and I also moderate the tv/movies section.

PS: The comment on my post about special effects where not aimed at you, but to Aquila. Miscommunication on my part.

Oh and Mr. Marx, and its pretty god damn funny that your angry that a group of people are going to get rich because of the movie. I mean, its life. You don't just make a movie for charity. You have to make some damn money out of it.

Everything anyone does is probably done for money.

This is life.

Get used to it or go be a hermit and live in the mountains.

looks good. ford may be a little old but i'm not complaining since he was the originial Indiana Jones B)

nice. Siked definetly going Imax on this one

It's pretty simple. I don't think it will work, and I'm apprehensive. There's my opinion on the movie before it's finished filming. Whether that changes, we'll have to see.

I never said that I hated this film, I just dislike the idea of bringing back the films. If this one sucks, the legacy is ruined. And it will most likely suck.

How do you know that he is? Have you seen the filming thus far? I'm entitled to my hesitations, and I will make full use of that right and tell you that I am hesitant about this movie.

How do you know that I don't? It could be, it probably will be, that the movie will be a corporate sell-out to bring in the cash based on name value. You can't KNOW here, you can only guess.

No, you didn't. But you certainly act like you are one, running in and out of threads as if you are God's gift to watching films.

P.S. I'm not a Marxist, thinking that it sucks that this is glaringly an attempt to rake in the cash, and because that usually leads to a shitty film doesn't make me a Marxist.

And besides JCC, its spielberg, one of the best directors out there, he is not one to fuck up a film.

Ah yeah, I remember now, War of the Worlds didn't suck!

Wait... yes it did.

I quite liked War of the Worlds ...

Yeah, but if I didn't like it, then to me, he fucked it up.

I didnt know you did Film Studies and Media Studies as a joint AS level Richard dear q:

I don't need to take it to have an opinion on a film.

:mellow:

Did ye not see my backwards :P - It was a sign of me taking the piss *slaps

<_< I can never tell, with the way that you intensively mock me.

:(

Add Transformers, Men in Black II, Evolution and Jurassic park 3 to that cack as well.

Actually, Transformers was passable by way of the special effects that almost made me ejaculate every time a Transformer walked into view.

I even put up with Shia LeBouf being in it.

If by 'special effects' you mean Megan Fox's tit and arse shots then yes. Fuck yes.

Well, they did certainly have some special effect.

*Raises eyebrow*

A.I. was quite shite aswell.

I always wondered if War Of The Worlds would of ended prematurely if Tom Cruise decided to sneeze accidentally on one of those big fuck off machines.

ohhh cant wait,

wonder who the eye candys gonna be, Betty White?

Yes that was me havin a go at Harrys age

and that^^^,his name

something tells me there's no guarantee this will be any good

You know so little about this movie. Whats this bird on your shoulder?

I do lol

I think Shia is a good actor infact one of the best ive seen in a long time.

JCC, ejaculate? can you even do that yet? i swear your like 12 or 13

Megan Fox, she was hot but it was that hot blonde australian chick for me man.

Indi? wel i liked temple of doom but i'm not a big fan, you most likely wont see me in the cinema waching this.
And i think Shia is going to make this movie good.
