TrailerAddict.com has posted the full “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” trailer that’s attached to prints of “Iron Man,” which opens Friday. It’s a bootleg, shot with a hand-held camera. Thankfully, there aren’t several rows of silhouetted heads between the cameraperson and the screen. The audio’s decent, and the picture’s clear enough. Anyone who was left cold by the teaser trailer (it was a little heavy on footage from the three previous films) should be pleased by the new one.
This version reveals the backstory of the crystal skull and the undead warriors who guard it. The dirty Commies, led by Kate Blanchett in her adorable brunette bob-cut, request Indy’s services at the point of a sword. Shia Labeouf gets more screen time as the less short, less round young Indy sidekick. There’s a car chase, a motorcycle chase, but sadly no Chevy Chase. Indy wields a bazooka. Stuff blows up in people’s faces. An Aztec temple begins to transform into something, presumably why Indy brought Lebeouf along on this adventure. And it’s all cut to John Williams’ thrilling score.
I’d provide a link to the trailer, but Paramount will doubtless send an angry legal letter to the Trailer Addict webmaster, asking him to take it down, and probably also dispatch Mola Ram to tear his heart out before lowering him into a pit of fire; this is a Spielberg movie we’re talking about here.
