Anyone doing a stunt has to have a medical team nearby. It's sort of the way it's done. Because people aren't stupid. Well, I mean, people who aren't you.

Official Teaser, higher resolution available on :: INDIANA JONES - OFFICIAL SITE ::

I saw the words "official teaser" and I headed straight for Dave's Trailer Page to see if there was one up for download... then I saw you meant poster. :(

I actually like the art of this one though. It has almost a Temple of Doom flavor to it.

Looks Fate of Atlantis to me.
Me likes!

I'm not really that much of a movie-goer, so it may not mean much - but I'm thrilled about this sequel and have been looking forward to this for several years now. May 22nd can't come soon enough.

Pity Denholm Elliott died, I loved Marcus Brody.

The poster's great - I absolutely love Drew Struzan, and I'm glad they're still using him for the Indy posters. I agree, it definitely has a Temple of Doom feeling to it.

I heard Bellocq returns. As a Snooty French Zombie, archaelogy career intact.

Updated original post with some more info.

Saw the trailer yesterday, looking very good! Man, May 22 is still so long off, can't wait! By the way, from the trailer, is that the same warehouse as the one from Raider's?

Mutt: "You're a teacher?"
Indy: "Part-time"

There was a lot of funny things in it:

1. Indy was attacking people in US Army uniforms. This suggests either the Russians were in disguise, Indy's intentions are unknown to the government, or something else.

2. They show the vehicles driving to a remote base, shortly after we see this sequence.



I suggest that spoiler because of an easily overlooked part of the trailer:



Spielberg and co revealed enough to not disprove old rumors, nor confirm them, but certainly support them.

I haven't read any hardcore spoilers, but it definitely looks like the same warehouse. :cool: I paused the trailer at a couple of spots and it looks like the trucks are carrying various crates (similar to the one that Ark was put in). Hmm...

Anyway, that "sequence" was my favorite part of the trailer. Seeing Indy dodging bullets between the crates and all of the whip!action definitely reminded me of Raiders. So awesome!

All I can say is oh dear to the use of CGI. Seriously Lucas and Spielberg should have an injunction taken against them for going within 10 miles of a computer. We didn't need CGI in the previous 3 films to create effects so why break the mold now; regardless of the age of Mr. Ford thats why we have stunt doubles in Hollywood. (Although it does look like he has done alot of stunts himself).

Looks like a good watch in line with the original tone of the series; however, the aforementioned can destroy even the best for me.

If the leaked pictures of the skull are any indication...


Not sure if want.

I know it's pretty early to start quibbling over details, but one thing that kinda bothered me is that the movie seemed to be going completely lighthearted, perhaps aiming for a PG rating?

One of the great things about the original films, I thought, was the way they could mix serious/violent subject matter and still have it punctuated by those moments where you catch yourself grinning.

For some reason, those U.S. troops staring slackjawed at Indy while he pops a one-liner just rubs me the wrong way. I hope It doesn't get too cutesy for its own good.

Like I said, it's only a trailer, but the way Lucas treated the Star Wars prequels makes me wary just how many forced laughs he's going to try to cram into the film.

The scene would have been perfect if Indy didn't state the obvious. It's always lines like that which ruin the comedic potential of a scene...non-verbal action should always take precedence.

It's also unfortunate how they always manage to fuck up the cues in trailers by cutting them at the worst spots.

The CG does look fake, but it is resulting in a degree of inadvertent campiness that I like.

About the CG, I've read a couple of quotes from the producer and he said they're trying to stick to real effects/stunts as much as possible. However, in this article, Spielberg says "the effects work was approximately 70 percent practical and 30 percent CGI, although the computer-generated work will be obvious (presumably backdrops and large set pieces)."

:( I am grateful that Spielberg has more control over this thing than George Lucas - he most likely won't shame the Indy franchise as much as Lucas would've on his own. George probably would've included some kind of CG sidekick (ala Jar Jar Binks) and shot on entirely digital locations. *shudder*

Bumping. New trailer is to premiere tonight with Iron Man, bootleg's floating around. Hi-res coming tomorrow.

Awful quality: Bootleg Version of 'Indiana Jones 4' Trailer on the Net

Time for some glorious HD!

480p

Sneaksy! You took my gig! :tpg:

I want to see this new trailer, but I'm going to have to wait. 70 MB isn't exactly "dial-up friendly" :(

I didn't need to see that trailer to be interested, but now I have to see it.

Yet another trailer from the official site:

It's not too much different from the last one: they added more bits that are in the TV Spots and expanded a bit on a couple scenes.

The first reviews are starting to trickle in; unfortunately, it's not pretty.

ReelViews Movie Review: Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

It's a mixed bag:

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Movie Reviews, Pictures - Rotten Tomatoes

Does this really surprise you, guys? I mean, the first three movies (or maybe two of them) were absolutely awesome, how could one expect the fourth one to be better than that?

From what I've read, this movie could have been directed by Michael Bay. Now you go ahead and decide whether that's a good or a bad thing.

When Speilberg made that comment about using as little CG as possible, I was very skeptical.

For the most part they probably used the CG where they said they would - in the environments (like how FX were used in making the storm form over the dig site in Raiders), but the criticism of the CG is when they use it when it's not necessary - I think like in the car chase next to the cliff, and those four tall pillars moving inward in the trailer.

The CG and the story isn't really what I'm worried about.
When I heard that they were basing Indy IV on the B-Grade sci fi pictures of the 50s, I knew it wasn't going to be AS good as when they were based on 30s TV serials....

Its the parts in the reviews where they say 'there's no real sense of danger'.

We'll just have to see for ourselves when it comes out.

Personally I think Lucas is the criminal in that department.

I can't believe that for some of the most simplest and basic of special FX that they have used CG judging by the trailers and snippets I have seen. It simply adds to the cost and vanity of the film both of which it doesn't need.
