Latest Indiana Jones gets title

The battle to name the new Indiana Jones film is over, and the winner is The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Forget about Indiana Jones and the City of Gods or even Indiana Jones and the Destroyer of Worlds, two of the potential names registered by producers Lucasfilm Ltd. The next movie featuring the two-fisted adventurer will be called Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Actor Shia LaBeouf, who has been cast to play Jones' son in the film, blurted out the title on stage yesterday's MTV Video Music Awards - only to have the news overshadowed by two former husbands of Pamela Anderson scuffling with each other and Britney Spears dancing barely clothed on stage.

But Lucasfilm, which is producing the fourth Harrison Ford-starring installment of the Indiana Jones series, was quick to confirm the new title today.

The film is to be directed by Steven Spielberg and is slated for release in May 2008.

LaBeouf's revelation ends months of speculation as to what the new film will be called.

Woohoo! Sounds very 90's

awesome.

[Nerak]

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

[Matt]

I'm actually really looking forward to this thing. The Indiana Jones movies have been pretty good overall.

[sarah]

I'm so super excited about this. My new fav is Shia LaBeouf I don't want to get all heart palpations on him but well, at least he's 21


I found this lovely photo SQUEEE!

[She-Oy]

He looks decent in that picture, but I don't get why everyone thinks he's so hot. Which is strange, because I usually can spot out a good looking male! That said and sticking with the subject, sort of....I miss River Pheonix!

[Erin]

Sarah, I think Shia LaBeouf's a hottie too.

[OchrisO]

I've been a big Shia LaBeouf fan for a long time, since the Even Stephens days, but not because he's hot or anything, he's actually kind of goofy looking, whioch is why I like him.

I'm excited about the movie, but that title is pretty weaksauce.

[MonteGss]

I'm excited about the movie and I like the title.

shut up. so you liked him first. big deal. i like him now so there. and you only liked him becuase he is hot.

[OchrisO]

He also has a huge penis, so, you know.

[sarah]

yeah, i heard. you're mom told me all about it the other day on the phone. just fyi

[OchrisO]

She must have called you from some time in 1998, before she passed away, which would be really gross, because Shia was only 12 then.

[sarajean]

even stevens was a good show.

but you could see the potential even then.

[Mike Beck]

Ooh, I'm excited for this movie.

I kind of preferred City of the Gods to Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. But I don't really care what it's called, so long as the movie is good.

[sarah]

exactly, mikeb. the movie better be good. after 19 years of hype if i'm let down, so help me, i will freak out.

now. hmmm. lets see here....

[Mike Beck]

Marian! She was the best Indy chick of them all. Can drink the hell out of some booze as well. My kinda lady.

[Matt]

If she is in this movie, I am totally back.

That bar scene in Raiders is some of the best shit on film imo.

[ZoNeSeeK]

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull sounds like a version of Monkey Island ;P

[BlakeMP]

I hereby declare the title sufficiently pulp-fictiony. I like it.

[sarah]

is this picture even real? Harrison Ford got touched up big time. He looks
40 years old

[Will]

It's at least as real as the giant crystal skull behind him.

[Sai Joshua]

I thought that this one was going to be called "Indiana Jones And The Golden Bottle Of Geritol"! I hear he dies in this one by falling and breaking a hip. Seriously, I am hyped about this movie, I just hope that all of the action doesn't come on Shia's end but that Harrison Ford still has a little gas left in the tank.These were some of my favorite movies as a kid and now my kids watch them.

[Still Servant]

I saw some of the fliming here at Yale University this summer. They were filming parts of a car chase scene. It looked pretty cool.

I'm hoping that maybe they can turn the franchise over to Shia if all goes well. I'd be up for a new, younger Indie. Some might not feel the same.

Also, this film has Cate Blanchett in it. Nuff said.
