It’s confirmed<\/a>: Karen Allen is reprising her role as Marion Ravenwood in Indy IV<\/i>. Here’s a photo of the cast that was revealed yesterday at Comic-Con:<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

My enthusiasm for this project continues to grow… I think Karen looks great, and it’s good to see her alongside Steven and Harrison again. It’s like a reunion of long-estranged family members or something. Click the photo to enlarge, click through for more Indy goodness!<\/p>\n


\nHere’s one of Steven and Karen on location in Hawaii:<\/p>\n

\"Steven<\/a><\/p>\n

And here’s what may or may not be a for-real teaser poster for the movie. It’s unmistakably Drew Struzan<\/a>‘s artwork, so I’d say it’s very likely the real thing:<\/p>\n

I’ll have to get one of those for the Bennion Archives, if it is the real deal.<\/p>\n

In other Indy IV<\/em>-related news, Dark Horse Comics<\/a>, which published a number of four- and six-issue Indiana Jones mini-series in the early ’90s, will launch a new series<\/a> in ’08 to coincide with the release of the movie. They’ll also be doing omnibus collections of their earlier Indy titles<\/a>and (interestingly enough) reprinting the old Indy comics produced by Marvel back in the early ’80s. (And why not? Dark Horse did a nice job with reprinting Marvel’s Star Wars<\/i> series a few years ago. Getting those new omnibus editions will enable me to finally seal away my original comics in those nitrogen-filled display cases I’ve had my eye on…)<\/p>\n

And finally, Lucasfilm has revamped its official Indiana Jones site<\/a>. It’s all Flash-animated and non-copyable or linkable, which sucks big-time, but there’s some nice content there, including photos, videos, and some cool desktops. One thing that’s got me wondering: the splash page features Indy’s hat and whip hanging over the corner of a large wooden crate. The crate is marked “Property of Dr. Jones,” but I wonder… where else in the Indy movies have we seen such a crate? And would it be really cool or really lame for Indy to run across that one familiar crate again? Think carefully before you answer, because I’m really not sure how I feel about it…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
