When I sat down with Steven Spielberg earlier this fall, he promised we would see the first INDIANA JONES teaser poster after Thanksgiving. Sure enough, today the official KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL website has posted the new teaser poster complete with art by Drew Struzan. You get your first look at the Crystal Skull, looming ominously behind Indy as well as Harrison Ford in an iconic pose. All in all, it’s exactly what you’d want from an INDIANA JONES teaser poster. It’s just a matter of time before it’s hanging on my wall!
In addition, USA Today has posted some plot details, which may include spoilers so be forewarned. They confirm that Cate Blanchett will play a villain, the seductive Soviet Agent Spalko and that Ray Winstone will play an unethical rival archaeologist. As for those skulls, how exactly were they carved out of crystal? “”The theory is they are shaped by higher powers or alien powers or came from another world, or an ancient Mayan civilization had the powers,” says producer Frank Marshall. Hmmmm…. INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL opens up on May 22. Check out the poster below!
