Indiana Jones Sneak Peek!

For Indiana Jones fans who can't wait another second for the smallest scrap of news about 2008's most eagerly awaited flick, you're in luck. The folks over at Lucas Films are graciously whettting our collective appetite for their top-secret sequel Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull with this production still featuring Shia LaBeouf, who reportedly plays Indy's son, alongside a decidedly older, and a bit more grizzled, fortune-hunting Harrison Ford. The dude in the background is none other than Ray Winstone, looking at lot more like his real-life portly self than the hunky, nearly naked motion-capture avatar he played in the computer animated Beowulf. Need more? You'll have to wait: Paramount isn't planning on releasing what promises to be the summer's biggest blockbuster until May 22, 2008, just in time to break a few Memorial Day records.

Frankly, it all looks an awful lot like the previous three installments of the franchise; if LaBeouf were a small Vietnamese boy, this could be a shot from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

What's your take? Does this photo make you hot?

I am awfully bad at history and may not be 100-percent schooled on fashions throughout the times, but... is Shia in a leather jacket, ringer tee and jeans? Is this "Raiders of the Closed Abercrombie"?

And don't get me started on his rather contemporary hair style.

I would tell you what I thought if I could see the damn thing. How about a link to a bigger picture?

I don't know about the ringer shirt Matt, but the movie takes place in 1957. I do believe kids wore jeans and leather jackets in 1957. Have we not seen Happy Days? Grease? Just to name a couple.

OK, my "bad." I mistakenly placed the Indy films in the '30s, but I guess that was quite some time ago, LOL.

Yes, Happy Days and Grease, those oh-so-authentic time capsules. That's the '50s through a '70s filter. It's hard to tell from the photo, but Shia's hair could be similar to James Dean's circa-1955 style. It's spikier, but maybe he's growing out an Eisenhower-era buzz cut? Nah, Matt's right; he looks completely modern.

It can't be worse than what I expect the new Rambo to be. Plus, I kinda liked Shia's last adventure: Shia Labeouf and the trip to Walgreens

He looked pretty tough in that mugshot!
