Indiana Jones Cracks Wise (As Well As Whip) In New Trailer

Shia LaBoeuf will be the dorky straight man to Harrison Ford's wisecracking old-timer in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. This new TV trailer shows a bit more of the duo's dynamic, and there's a lot of Shia gaping while Indy does something daring or smirkingly calls him a genius. I'm also surer than ever that I will run out and buy a Cate Blanchett action figure at the first opportunity. More »

Indiana Jones And The Roswell Alien Coverup

A government facility in Roswell, NM plays a big role in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, judging from a leaked bootleg of the movie's first official trailer. So it looks like the rumors about Indy getting involved with some extraterrestrials are true. The trailer also shows a fight sequence in the massive government secrets crate warehouse from Raiders of the Lost Ark. More »

Indiana Jones Clones Self, Becomes A Trio

This cover image from the comic-book adaptation of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull looks way cooler than the teaser poster we've been seeing. And it gives you more of a flavor of the movie, both good and bad. Good: Karen Allen, Dominatrix Cate Blanchett, and a whip-swinging Indy. Plus there's that pesky extraterrestrial-looking crystal skull staring at you, asking you why you stopped reading Whitley Streiber novels. Bad: Ray Winstone looks like Jack Black with his Nacho Libre mustache, and the image of Shia LaBoeuf driving Indy in his "I'm a teacher!" suit makes us cringe a bit. Click through for more info.

Indiana Jones And The Really Big Gun

If you remember your history, you can probably recall Indy pointing a bazooka at Belloq and the Ark of the Covenent in the original Raiders of the Lost Ark. He threatens to blow it up and send them all back to God, but in the end he just can't do it. Does that mean he'll get a second chance in The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? Maybe he's using it as a parenting aid for those moments when Shia gets a bit unruly. At any rate, it looks like Marion drives a car, Indy points (and we hope, shoots) a rocket propelled grenade, and Shia probably says "No, no, no, no!" a lot. [Empire Magazine]

First Look at Indiana Jones in the Cobwebby Alien Dungeon

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has a new photograph out today, all packed with cobwebs and spiders. It also looks like Shia LaBeouf's uniform throughout the film will be his greaser biker jacket, helping hammer home the whole "Hey, I'm a teenaged rebel, man!" attitude. If he picks up the whip once and swings it, we're calling shenanigans. We've got the full story on what's happening in this photo. More »

George Lucas Explains Why You'll Hate Indy IV

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull will be hitting theater screens on May 22nd, marking nineteen years since we've seen the whip-swinging archeaologist going after mysterious antiquities and occasionally teaching school. However, George Lucas thinks that both critics and fans alike will hate the movie. Find out why he told Vanity Fair (that glossy scifi rag) you'll be scowling at Indy this summer. More »

Yep, I'm a Replicant Ridley Scott's dystopian sci fi classic Blade Runner was released in a special edition DVD this week called The Final Cut, and he answers once and for all the age-old question, "Was Deckard a replicant?" The answer: yes. That is until Blade Runner: The Really Final Ultimate Last Cut comes out in a capsulized ingestable form in 2019.

Blade Runner Sequel Rumors Start Replicating

Blade Runner is enjoying a resurgence in popularity — the new cut hit theaters last month, and a five-disc ultra edition coming out on DVD next month. Now, rumors have it that Hollywood may churn out a sequel to this classic about rogue androids and the reluctant "Blade Runner" cop (Harrison Ford) who tracks them down. Author Paul Sammon, who has made an entire career out of talking about the movie, says that Director Ridley Scott is "not loathe" to the idea of a sequel to the classic 1982 film. But a sequel would be a disaster. More »
