Comic book adaptation cover of INDIANA JONES IV

Has the buzz for INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL hit the mainstream yet?

Yeah sure, it’s easy for us to know that a new movie in the long-dead franchise is coming out soon but I’m just wondering if the ‘average Joe movie fan’ is getting excited yet?

I know the people I have spoken to have been shocked and actually appalled at the idea of a new INDY film with Harrison Ford at the age he is now and with George Lucas and Steven Spielberg coming back in what they see as a greedy money making venture. I think the recent STAR WARS prequels might have had something to do with this fear of it turning out shit.

I guess we all have an undercurrent of that fear don’t we? I think it’s existed in my personal psyche since THE PHANTOM MENACE.

Here’s the cover of the comic book adaptation for the movie which is just a couple of months away now. I don’t usually post this stuff but what the hell, INDIANA JONES is coming back. I’m turning into an excited child again…

  1. God, LeBoof is so scrawny! He’s practically swimming in that jacket.
    Steve and Geroge should never have cast him in the first place. He promises to be the worst thing on the screen. And they better think twice before they decide Shia’s their guy for a new IJ franchise.

  2. Shame River Phoenix died.

    As for this movie, I think people like us who grew up with Indy can’t help but get excited. It was the same as Star Wars when we first heard Lucas was making three more. Of course, that’s what made The Phantom Shit even harder to swallow, because it was ‘that’ bad.

    But thankfully I can’t see Indy suffering from CGI-overload like Star Wars, unless they got Harrison Ford doing some backflips like they did for Wesley Snipes in Blade 2.

    Still, can’t fucking wait for this!
