Second KotCS trailer mid-to-late April

SECOND CRYSTAL SKULL TRAILER IN APRIL

IESB.net reports that the makers of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull are working on a second trailer targeted to premiere some time during April. IESB assumes mid-to-late that month.

A IESB editor attended a Paramount presentation on March 10 at the ShoWest Convention for theater owners at Bally's & Paris in Las Vegas. Unless the convention hall comm system had a bug or someone needed to clean a bit of ear wax, you might say the news comes pretty straight from the horse's mouth.

The New Official Poster

THE NEW, OFFICIAL CRYSTAL SKULL POSTER


Click to see poster big size (800x1185)
 
USA Today has just published the new official poster for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The poster was revealed at the ShoWest Convention for theater owners in Las Vegas last night. To quote USA Today:

The new poster for 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' confirms something alien is afoot.

The first poster for the film (due May 22) featured part of the title relic, but there was always something odd about the eye socket. In the follow-up, also by sci-fi/fantasy movie artist Drew Struzan, it's clear the skull is not at all human. Add to that the recent trailer, with its shot of a crate labeled "Roswell, New Mexico 1947," and you don't need to be a professor of archaeology to put the pieces together.

Other clues: Looks as if our hero will face his least-favorite animal and the locals at some Maya ruins. Karen Allen (who also was in 1981's original) seems to be enjoying herself, though.


Personal note: is that just us or has Indy now got a wee li'l bit in common with Gene Hackman's Popeye Doyle???
