It's here...and...WOW:
http://uk.movies.ign.com/articles/852/852188p1.html
ENJOY!!!
Somehow I'm not impressed... :o I could be too old maybe? :'(
Can't wait :p May 22 it is?
The humour and throw backs are going to rule! Really crap trailer if you ask me, not in the style of Indy trailers previous. But I seriously cannot wait, YAY!
Trailer was kind of bogus, but it gave me a great feel of the movie. I think Harrison Ford will have developed his character into something that we'll really love and connect with more than the other movies.
Also, the action and style have improved, IMO. National Treasure took on Indiana Jones, and now they're taking National Treasure's improved action style and applying it back into Indiana Jones.
Looks good, but I guess we'll see.
Nikolas, I think it's more that Harrison Ford has simply gotten too old ;|. It's painful watching him meander around with gray hair and pretend he still has action star potential. Also, I rather figured they would use his age against him in comedic 'accidents' like the one you see in the trailer.
The moment that theme music started playing, and I saw Indy's silhouette, I was sold.

I agree.
I miss the good 'ol Han Solo Harrison Ford days to these Grey Haired old man Harrison Ford days.
Why do we have to age? :)

That's all it took for me too... gave me chills seeing something new Indy like that!
George Lucas writes the story and Steven Spielberg directs ... I'm WAY too much of a fan-boy of both not to be predisposed to adoration to really give a subject comment.

I'm probably the only one to feel this way ... but one of my favorite aspects of story telling is progressing the time line and aging the characters. So if they do it right ... I think it could be awesome (at least for me)
I'm looking forward to Indy's hippy drug crazed meanderings to those new fangled super markets and those fast food restaurants. I don't care about Harrison Ford's age, i'm not sleeping with him so it doesn't really matter. Not too sure about Indy's son or whoever it's meant to be, because he should be a hippy too and be a partial remake of reefer madness.
Something else I'm not sure about is the title, all this and the of the crap going on. Take a leaf out of Sly's book just call it Indiana Jones to confuse everyone, yeah good one Sly you crazy old bastard you. Another thing I'd like to see is Mr Sean Connery reprise his role as Commander James Bond the father of Indy but I can understand Mr Connery not wanting out of retirement, Spain is a nice place and I think we know he isn't living in a holiday camp.
But a key thing to the film being any good is the inclusion of short round, he must have not aged at all and be exactly the same. People slam temple of doom, but atleast it isn't the film Doom. hahaha very funny dr jones
And with all recent Steven Spielberg films walkie talkies will be used instead of guns and Nazis will be called "The indifferent people of a generic country" so everyone will be happy. Plus Steven will sleep with any leading lady. AND Blade Runner 2.
Well, I'm camped out in front of my cinema, waiting for may! From what I see of the trailer, two things struck me-
Spoiler
1. The room the truck chase is In looks an awful lot like the final scene of 'Raiders' (especially the 'top secret' on the crate ;) )
2. The scene with the woman in It (1:26 into the trailer) there is something Interesting:
Those look like Indy's Dad's glasses, and Roswell, 1947? Look it up, if you haven't figured it out already.
So, looks to be a mighty interesting film.
Daniel, the plot was sort of exposed already by leaked photos of the crystal skull, which looks completely alien. It's somehow not surprising that this time it would be aliens since Spielberg's two interests seem to be nazis and aliens, and since he couldn't have nazis in this one then aliens will have to do.
Not sure how long this will last. Paramount seems to be asking people to remove it.

Further more ... if you're going to put things like that in this thread ... use the [ spoiler ] tags
It can't be a spoiler if it's in the trailer, can it? ???
The trailer never says "these are indy's dad's glasses" or "this is the top-secret room from raiders" YOU said that ... hence the need of the spoiler tags.
Just use them. It's common sense.
The 1st piece from the trailer? I knew I heard it somewhere (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvS9cRdI1cM&feature=related) before!
Check 02:55 onward, I think it's exactly the same.
Yeah, it's definitely the Children of Dune theme. Brian Tyler's soundtrack crops up now and then on random play on my iPod, so I recognized it immediately. Apparently (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Tyler_%28composer%29) that score gets used quite a lot in trailers:
"Tyler's cues for Children of Dune were used in the theatrical trailers for Master and Commander, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Cinderella Man. The track "Summon the Worms" from the same miniseries (Children of Dune) was used as a leader for the Belgian/Dutch show Peking Express and in the first leaked promotional reel for The Golden Compass."
Darth, the box clearly says "Roswell, New Mexico" that the glasses stick to. Whether or not they are Indy's dad's is just speculation, not spoiler. it's no secret Connery has no involvement with this film, so whatever tie it has is probably quite small.
Connery was also totally uncredited in Robin Hood (1991) ...
The box says Roswell ... which is why I didn't comment on that. But comments on a pair of glasses being Indy's father, or that the warehouse is the "secret" storage place at the end of Raiders IS speculation, guess work, and potentially spoilers for the movie.
They aren't massively tragic revelations ... I'm not saying that.
But what if he had said (not really a spoiler, just making a point),
Spoiler
"Oh and I've heard that Indy dies at the end of this one!!"
One benign comment to one, is a spoiler to others.
All I'm saying is for those of us that like going to the movies without having it spoiled it's not that hard for people to be respectful of that and to post using the spoiler tags or, at the very least, WARN about it before just spitting out speculation.
I certainly can't
make anybody use them ... it's just courtesy.
I'll just point out that in an interview with Sean Connery he made it clear he's not in this film and that he has well and truly retired from making movies.
And The Doors will never EVER play again after losing Jim.
And Garth Brooks is absolutely retired and will NEVER tour again.
And Terrence Malick would never direct another movie after Days of Heaven.
And Natalie Portman was going back to school and wouldn't be in any more movies.
When celebrities make claims of retirement I only give it so much credence. I think it's mostly just a way to make their "return" more dramatic and bring in more money at the box-office. Connery's an old man ... so who knows, maybe he is actually retired. When he dies (hopefully MANY years from now) and hasn't made another movie I'll believe it then :)
Stop being so saucy, Darth ;P. I'm just repeating what he said. I happen to believe him, since they don't really hide people from imdb cast lists just to surprise people.
Sorry man ... I wasn't trying to be saucy! I was just repeating what those people had said about retirement to illustrate my point! That's all.
And as for IMDB ... a few months ago I was doing my usual snooping on there ... and Connery was listed as "rumored" in the cast list. Since he's been removed I would guess he's really not in the movie but that wasn't really my point anyway! I was just teasing about celebrities and their so-called "retirements".
Ford is old! He makes me feel old watching him. I don't like to be reminded that I'm getting old. I demand CG Indy!
...
Or a tub of Vaseline for the camera lens.
Trailer looks fine, etc, etc...Honestly, how bad could it turn out? It has a couple of weak links, sure; David Koepp isn't my idea of a great screenwriter, Shia LaBeouf could easily prove to be annoying and shrill, and the...old...thing. Chances are it will at least be enjoyable, though how many fans will be satisfied by that?
If it does turn out to be so-so, it won't depreciate the quality of the originals; something fanboys seem to think happens when their favorite movies get awful sequels/prequels.
I think it has enough talent both behind and in front of the camera to keep the unthinkable from happening.
Now i'm just wondering who'll be the first here to make a
Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull: A graphic adventure. :D
I'm sold. They could charge £30 a ticket and I'd still pay to watch it!
- Huw
I can only imagine that the plot is related to or based on, at least somewhat, this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_skulls which will be interesting to see.
I personally hope that Shia LaBeouf eventually explodes, but I'll still see this movie.
I actually feel pretty good about this, and after Star Wars, well, I'm a bit sensitive. But I think Indy's a hero who can get old on us and still be Indy, because he was never an "action hero"...most, if not all, of his victories are seat-of-his-pants, fling-the-whip-that-way-and-hope-for-the-best sort of victories, and that's one reason I love him... *ahem* as a friend...
And Shia can be okay sometimes. I found Roundhouse to be annoying at first in Temple of Doom, and Shia can't be worse than that.
You mean Short Round? lol.
Yeah. ;D
I should watch those again, huh?

Hmm but how much is he being paid to say that? ;)
A good point, notice how Karen Allen doesn't feature in the trailer - save for two very very split second clips...
This trailer was decent... Although inspiring at first, I was disappointed by the lack of Indy IV footage and how they had to use the old movies as filler. I mean, we all know about what happened with the other films, show us some good footage this time around... But I guess Indy trailers have never been all too great so we'll just have to wait till May.
