We created Indiana Jones, but it belongs to the world, and now we're the
custodians. Our job really is to serve up a huge helping not only of what
Indiana Jones means to audiences who grew up with it, but to introduce the
character to those who haven't. This new film is for the fans."
- Steven Spielberg
WHAT: Director Steven Spielberg voiced his excitement about premiering
his highly anticipated release of "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom
of the Crystal Skull" at the 61st annual Cannes Film Festival.
This is the first time Spielberg has returned to the illustrious
Croisette since 1982 when he first premiered "E.T.: The
Extra-Terrestrial," which went on to become one of the
highest-grossing films of all time.
MOVIE: The whip-toting, punch-packing, snake-hating, globe-trotting
archaeologist with a fedora is back on screen in "Indiana Jones
and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." This newest adventure
begins in the desert Southwest in 1957 -- the height of the Cold
War. Indy and his sidekick Mac (Ray Winstone) have barely
escaped a close scrape with nefarious Soviet agents on a remote
airfield. Now, Professor Jones has returned home to Marshall
College -- only to find things have gone from bad to worse. His
close friend and dean of the college (Jim Broadbent) explains
that Indy's recent activities have made him the object of
suspicion, and that the government has put pressure on the
university to fire him. On his way out of town, Indiana meets
rebellious young Mutt (Shia LaBeouf), who carries both a grudge
and a proposition for the adventurous archaeologist: If he'll
help Mutt on a mission with deeply personal stakes, Indy could
very well make one of the most spectacular archaeological finds
in history -- the Crystal Skull of Akator, a legendary object of
fascination, superstition and fear. The Soviet agents are also
hot on the trail of the Crystal Skull. Chief among them is icy
cold, devastatingly beautiful Irina Spalko (Cate Blanchett),
whose elite military unit is scouring the globe for the eerie
Crystal Skull, which they believe can help the Soviets dominate
the world ... if they can unlock its secrets.
