"Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull" In Depth

Just 6 months after Shia LaBeouf landed his own cover, he's back on the front of February's Vanity Fair, alongside Harrison Ford, to promote the long awaited "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."

Inside the magazine, and handily online, is a long article on the 4th Indy film, exclusive Annie Leibovitz shots from the set of the film, a Q&A with Steven Spielberg (his kids don't see "Schindler's List" until they are 15), a Q&A with George Lucas (he admits Star Wars' Jar Jar Binks is annoying) and details from Harrison Ford and crew about disagreements over the plot, why fans will be disappointed and how they've updated Indy.

The new film takes place in 1957, during the Russian cold war, and features Karen Allen as Marion Ravenwood, Indy's spunky girlfriend from the first film, Shia as --or so rumor has it-- Indy and Marion's love child and Cate Blanchett as a brunette, banged Agent Spalko.

I heard ford it making a 5th instalment in the indiana jones franchise, it's titled, "Mylox, the golden emperor of Viagra".

I like the idea of crossing over into science fiction. This movie is going to make TONS AND TONS of money. Ford, Shia, Stephen and even Karen are going to make boatloads of money.

I just hope we see some flying saucers or a realllly good idea of what happened at Roswell complete with aliens, and wreckage.

Anyway you look at it, I'm going.

Indy films are like sex. Even when they're bad, they're still pretty good.

I don't mean to be a wet blanket but it's going to TOTALLY SUCK because Shia LeBoeuf is an irritating stupid name.

Can't WAIT for this one--I've been a Harrison Ford fan ever since I saw him as Bob Falfa in "American Graffiti" (talk about a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away!). Glad to know that George Lucas has finally admitted the obvious--Jar Jar Binks was an AWFUL addition to the "Star Wars" universe!

Nice to see Harrison looking so rugged and fit. Would suit me in my dotage.

This film is going to ROCK.
