A bunch of new publicity photos came out for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull — and Cate Blanchett looks totally smoking hot as an evil Soviet agent. I'd had my doubts about her weird hairdo before, but seeing some of the close-up publicity shots has converted me to Cate's brand of Communism. Some of the photos are ones we've featured before, but in better picture quality (or without a stray fender head.) Click through for a gallery.

I know I am gonna get pilloried for this:
In Soviet Russia, Cate Blanchetts You!
I'm guessing ladies won't be flocking to salons asking for Cate's "ruskie bob" after seeing this.
I just saw the new trailer for this when I went to see Iron Man, and the movie looks awesome. It looked a lot better than the trailers they've released so far.
Forgive me for being one of those people who makes one of these comments, but I don't get how anyone argues about and yet Indy somehow qualifies.
Not that I'm complaining!
Don't get me wrong, Cate is amazing but the real suprise is how great Karen Allen looks! She like what? 96 years old? Not too shabby!
Indiana Jones and the Quest for the Titanium Walker
dude, cate could rock a mullet and still look awesome.
The real shocker in this movie is that we find out that Cate Blanchett's character is actually the mother of Molotov Cocktease.
I'm salivating over this film. Want!
@Miranda Kali: Do you douse the tampon in gasoline and light the tail?
I'm not a big fan of her look in this movie, but Cate is the bomb.
@Miranda Kali:
+1 for venture bros reference
Red Hot? She looks White Cold to me! Great actor, but still she looks like a vampire.
I prefer to remember her as Galadriel
@Grandjester: I hear you! When I heard she was going to be in this, I was very worried that she was going to have aged a lot worse than Harrison Ford...but clearly, there was nothing to worry about. ;)
I would so blanche Cate...
A hot woman still won't change how much of a stinker this is going to be. Shia Lebouf(sp?) is going to ruin the franchise.
Not to pick nits...but that pic of her on the MG 42? It has a USGI .30 cal ammo box attached, whcih couldn't have held the rounds an MG 42 used. Baaaaad movie armoror.
@Priam: I have to say, it was odd to see the trailer in the theater this past weekend (I hadn't watched it online) and realize how not pumped I was feeling. I can't tell if it's residual Lucas anger from the prequels, if the trailer just isn't that great, or if Last Crusade is just so awesome that I see no reason not to have left it at that.
@Log1c:
...Uhm. Right.
Remind me to never take you to a insurrection.
@phatnacky:
I'm so much a fangirl that more than BSG, more than Iron Man, Speed Racer, or Robin Hood,...Venture Brothers is the return I am most anxious for this summer.
@TheAlmanac: Every picture of Karen Allen / Marion Ravenwood that I've seen so far, so just looks so damn happy to be there.
@moff: I agree. I saw it at my viewing of Iron Man. It honestly feels a little forced. And the whole Marlon Brando feel they are going for with Lebouf is just laughable. I think I am going to wait for DVD on this on.
@Priam: Well, let's not be too hasty!
(I'll totally see it in the theater. Just in case.)
@Priam:
You have a hard time imagining Shia Lebouf as a delusional recluse?
..Sure works for me.
@Miranda Kali: lol, i meant in "The Wild One" sense. It would be nice if he was the old island bound recluse though.
Is it just me, or does Karen Allen still look really, really, hot? Seriously.
@diverguy:
Nope. Not just you.
Damn. I hope I look that good when I'm that old.
@Log1c: honestly log1c, where do you pick up that stuff up? i never see you read! it's like you channel dead crazy people!
All I have to say is that its nice to see Karen Allen's big cheezy grin again...
It looks like she's stayed busy all these years I've just lost track of her.
@Miranda Kali
The mother of... hell she IS Molotov Cocktease!
One of the first women I lusted after was Natasha Nogoodnik. I'm diggin' Cate. The monolithic gray jumpsuit is too much...
Shia Lebouf's little motorcycle clip looked like something from "The Village People"...
"Indiana Jones' son is GAY??"
@AZTriGuy: and beautifull, don't forget the beautiful part. Man she is aging well.
Actually, although I guess this is the wrong dictatorship, Blanchette reminds me of Honey Huan:
[en.wikipedia.org]
You call that red hot? Perhaps you need to rewatch The Last Crusade and see a hot Nazi done right.
Cate Blanchett is an awesome actress, however I wouldn't describe her as red hot?
I'm not seeing the hotness.
How dare you speak thusly of the Queen of Lothlorien!?!
@br4nd0n & @quetzilla: Thank you. I don't think she's even remotely "hot". Attractive? Maybe. Hot? No. But whatever floats your boat.
I had no desire to see this in the theater at all till I saw the Karen Allen pics.
So... I liked Raiders but never got around to seeing the other two movies. Should I be excited about this movie? Should I see the other movies? Or would it be like seeing the Star Wars prequel trilogy, and having a good fun movie retroactively turn into crap-by-association?
@Bruce_A: DSTRYA agrees. just b/c they have her done up in some half-assed fetish garb doesn't mean she is rocking it. if i'ma get some Russian Fox, i'd like one who looks remotely eastern-euro... maybe even actually eastern euro. or hot. The Blanchett has 'too much face', methinks, for that tight bob-- she's all nose.
Your code monkeys need to work on a better way to get back to original articles from your photo galleries. Once I get into the photos and I can't get back to the original article easily...
