Watch Spielberg Crack Indiana Jones' Whip

Paramount released nearly 15 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage from Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, and it gives much more of a glimpse of the movie's action sequences. You can see Cate Blanchett brandishing her sword, John Hurt framed by a roaring fire, and Shia LaBoeuf playing with his knife. And of course, Harrison Ford buckling his swash. It's interesting to see Steven Spielberg's hands-on directing style, plus the huge non-CGI sets for the movie's big setpieces. [Slashfilm]

Maximum Spoilers For Indiana Jones And Hancock

There are just three batches of spoilers this morning, but they're all pretty heavy duty. The first set of full reviews of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull have come out, and they explain way more about the reasons for that movie's title. Also, there was another test screening for Will Smith's slovenly superhero movie Hancock, and it confirms some of the awful reports we've already heard. (Including one Larry Niven-inspired moment.) And then there's another set of pics and spoilers for the animated Batman: Gotham Knight DVD. It's all spoilers below the fold. More »

Red Hot Cate Blanchett In New Indiana Jones Pics

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. More »

Crystal Skull Will Be Kinkiest Indiana Jones Yet

Indiana Jones will have a bit of a crisis of confidence at the start of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull, in which he'll question his place in the universe. It'll be a moving and tragic meditation on aging, worthy of Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan. How do I know this? Bubble gum cards told me, of course. Topps bubble-gum cards, and the "Official Guide" to the new Indy movie, have come out, revealing pretty much all of the movie's plot points. Here's your spoiler warning, and away we go! More »

Samuel L. Jackson's Iron Man Cameo Is Already Online

People have already uploaded crappy cameraphone copies of Samuel L. Jackson's notorious cameo in Iron Man, and we wouldn't be able to call ourselves spoiler maniacs if we didn't post a copy here.

Raiders of the Lost Saucer!

What would have happened if Raiders of the Lost Ark met Sid and Marty Krotfft's Lost Saucer? It might have looked a little something like this.

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 »
