The new poster for “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” confirms something alien is afoot. The first poster for the film 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 humanm but quite possibly one from a Gray. 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: It 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.
“Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” premiering on May 22, 2008 also stars Shia LaBeouf, Cate Blanchett, Ray Winstone, John Hurt and Jim Broadbent with Ford and Allen.

I don’t like this poster. The faces seem a bit 9th grade. I’m sure this guy could have done better, or better yet, get someone else to paint the poster.

The best thing about the poster is the connection to Raiders — Karen Allen, who looks great, and the snakes. Let’s hope although we see those older concepts, that the movie brings something new to them.

The poster looks fine to me. Isn’t it supposed to be like the posters for the previous three movies?
