With 2007 now behind us -- save the Academy Awards, at least -- we can finally begin looking forward to 2008's tentpoles. One of the big hitters is Indiana
Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and Vanity Fair has a great article on the film to kick off the year.

When we last saw him, nearly 19 years ago, everybody’s favorite archaeologist was literally riding off into the sunset after having found the Holy Grail. This seemed as though it had to be the end of the adventure series that had gotten its start with Raiders of the Lost Ark, the big summertime blockbuster of 1981. But then, on the morning of June 18, 2007, Steven Spielberg, the director of the Indiana Jones movies, and George Lucas, who came up with the idea for the franchise, found themselves facing cast and crew on an empty piece of land in Deming, New Mexico. “How time flies,” Spielberg said, raising a flute of champagne, in a moment captured on video, which ended up on YouTube. “No one’s changed, we all look the same. I just want to say: Break a leg, have a good shoot, do your best work, and here’s looking at you, kids.”
The report serves up a few new production photos from Indy IV. While you are sure to recognize some old favorites, I can't help but acknowledge that Shia LaBeouf was still have a decade out from being born when Raiders hit theaters.
