The latest Entertainment Weekly features this exclusive picure from the new Indiana Jones movie, and adds more weight to the rumors that it's about aliens. In this image, Indy, Marion and Mutt (Shia LaBeouf) race through a Peruvian jungle in their amphibious vehicle, racing some Russians to find the Temple of the eponymous Crystal Skull. And click through for spoiler/rumors.
There's more than one crystal skull, and EW repeats (but doesn't confirm) the speculation that they're extraterrestrial. Also, the skulls may give you psychic powers. Or just look really great under black light. Meanwhile, Shia may or may not be Indy's son, and Cate interrogates Indy, who gets Stockholm Syndrome. And there may be giant ants.

that pic of cate b is slightly weird - that is cate b, no? this looks like a jurrassic ride! t-rex--charlie, you forgot the t in picure up there
And Cate's not a Russian, she's a disembodied alien cyborg strapped to the bumper?
Major spoilage.
And Cate Blanchette is . . . the disembodied robot head from Lexx!
And Shia LeBluff is either Wolfman Jack or Mav from the X-Mutants!
why is there a random head on the back of Indy's car?
@kadaj_sama: I think it's a Cate Blanchette bumper sticker.
Spell check.
If you look at the upcoming toy releases for this film as well as the trailer, it's obvious aliens play a role. The trailer has a shot of a crate marked "Roswell" and the images of the toy lines for the film have skeletons with elongated crystal skulls. There's also been a picture of Ford released in which if you look carefully you can see an elongated skull on a skeleton behind him. Giant ants are also amongst the toys previewed this year at the Toy Fair in New York.
First up - that head is extremely creepy.
Hopefully the whole movie will not be like the Stargate SG-1 episode about crystal skulls. Not that I've read anything about the plot but that's all that pops into my head when anyone mentions "Crystal Skulls".
Also what are the chances the guy with the rifle on the right can miss Indy when he's only like less than 3 feet away? Hero factor alert.
@enjikunoichi: The head follows Indy around, wherever he goes, throughout the movie.
No, actually, it's just sticking up into the new exclusive photo from another photo below, and I just left it in. Sorry. :)
@Charlie Jane Anders: That might make a good (hah) cheesy sci-fi movie that I'll catch on Cinemax one night in about 5 years.
No biggie but it was funny to spot it there :) Thanks for the explanation.
At what point during the film does her head come off and start chasing cars?
That disembodied Cate Blanchett head floating on the bumper is extremely disturbing. It's not at all like I imagined it in my fantasies.
...What?
I dunno about anyone else, but when I think Crystal Skulls I start hearing the narrative voice of Leonard Nimoy from "In Search Of..." . ;)
The heads the strangest thing about this.
Looks like old man Ford is still doing his own stunts.
Giant Ants?!?
You finally got me interested.
@NeuroMan42:
THEM!!!!
What? Did the Nazis stuff Cate up the tailpipe of that truck?
@enjikunoichi: I think you mean 'plot armour' alert.
Crystal skull? Crystal skull?! Whereinhell is Daniel Jackson and his uncle in this movie? Bring in the Sg-1 team, they can beat Indy's ass hands down.
I'm totally going to start this: make magnetic car stickers like all those various ribbons every other car has, 'cept instead it'll be cate's disembodied S&M head. How trippy to be traveling down the highway with all these cate's glaring out from everyone's rear. What a weird phenomenon.
She's just chilling, laying back, taking a rest. Torturing Indiana Jones is tough work.
When will they ever learn? Indiana Jones just simply sucks without Nazis, just like 007 sucks without hoods from SPECTRE.
