... And The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull. According to actor Shia LaBeouf, this is the title of Indy 4. Not quite sure what to make of it yet. My first thoughts are, it's not as good as The Temple of Doom, no way near as good as The Last Crusade and light years away from Raiders of the Lost Ark (which, for the record, is one of the greatest movie titles ever. Fact). While this is apparently 'official,' I wouldn't be surprised if the title is changed between now and the movie's release on May 22nd 2008. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull just isn't exciting enough. While it does have that kind of Saturday matinee serial movie kind of feel to it, it just doesn't quite seem to fit in with the saga. At best, it sounds like the middle movie in a trilogy. At worst, it sounds like fan fiction. Watch this space.
*EDIT: It is official. The news is up at indianajones.com. So it IS Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull. Ho hum.
Coming soon...

Who would have thought there will ever be a fourth film? Quite frankly, I still can't quite believe they are shooting it right now as we speak. When you think about it, when the last Indiana Jones film premiered in 1989, I was still in elementary school. It's sad Sean Connery refused to reprise his role, but I really wonder how it will turn out.
