If adventure has a name, it must be... Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?
Indiana Jones 4 title officially revealed:
http://movies.ign.com/articles/818/818912p1.html Excellent. True, it doesn't quite have the ring of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and it takes a few more minutes to say, but it's all good. Can't wait to see it.

Oooh, does this have anything to do with those crystal skulls that supposedly were made by the Aztecs, and which have a curse on them, but they found out that they were actually manufactured by a company in Switzerland back then?

Damien Hirst isn't impressed.

Like Indy I and III, this is based on a real legend, so I'm psyched on this. Please let them do justice!

But as far as i know it has already been proven a hoax. Makes it a lame subject for a film.

In American Dragon the Huntsman was trying to collect 13 crystal skulls to destroy all magical creatures.
(Sorry -spent too long watching Jetix while on holiday)

I like the title. The guys on the mixnmojo comments don't seem to, though. I'm really impressed at this movies cast as well - especially Cate Blanchett.

I'll put it this way, I'll certainly opt for "One ticket to Indiana Jones 4" at the ticket counter.

I don't like the title much at the moment, but these things always grow on me.

It sounds like an alternate name for Flight of the Amazon Queen. That had a crystal skull as well.

I'm just glad they cast the character of Marion Ravenwood again instead of some shrieky nightclub singer. Or evil enemy agent, for that matter.
Which makes one wonder how Shia Lebeuf fits into the picture, as Abner Ravenwood's son and thus Marion's brother. Or was it Marion's son? Can't remember. Not only is Abner rumored to be returning (John Hurt's character), but they're going to have to explain the mysterious mom of the youngest Ravenwood. Maybe that'll be Cate Blanchett's character. (And Shia's character's name is "Mutt" Ravenwood. A lot of rumors about Shia Lebeuf carrying on the adventure-in-fedora legacy after Harrison Ford went out with the revelation of that name.)

Come on Indy!
This is a good title, it's got the trademark Indy feeling. 2008 could come already! I want to see Indy again at the theater!

Abner is not really 'returning', as he was already reported dead in the 1st film. It would be easy to explain his currently living existence (given that we had so little to go on with Marion's initial claims), and his age difference with Indy is good given that Marion was very young when first hooked up with Indy.
If Lebeuf is a Ravenwood, he would likey be a brother rather than a son, given his age.
