The Indy trailer is up!

[annathepiper]

The trailer is out! Go! Watch! And join me in hoping this won't suck!


Okay, cue the fangirly grin as the March starts up... and okay, Harry looks old and crufty, but damn, it's good to see him again. Especially in the Hat. <3 And I did grin too at the lines he gets in the trailer. "Not as easy as it used to be"--har. Also good, Indy's acknowledging his age. ;) And, "Damn, I thought that was closer!"

Cate Blanchett looks interesting with the dark haircut, and Shia LeBeouf looks like he has potential. He looks appropriate to the era--leather-jacketed 50's kid. I grinned at his line, too, as well as Harry's response.

No sign of Karen Allen, but maybe they're saving her for the first longer trailer, since this is a teaser.

And, oooh, they're blowing up the warehouse where they put the Ark, aren't they? Wonder what they're going after in there. ;>

ETA, after watching hi-def version of the trailer and catching this in freeze-frame: HEY, there's a Roswell stamp on that crate Cate's looking at! Of COURSE there is!

There just needs to be no giant robots. ;)

Ooh, I missed that! I didn't get to load all of the hi-def trailer this morning because it was loading too slowly and I had to get to work--but I'll check this tonight!

[annathepiper]

I am now cautiously optimistic! Trying not to go totally fangirl yet; we'll see how this holds up on further trailer goodness. ;)

[annathepiper]

I'm pretty sure we won't be getting any of those. ;)

Shia LaBeouf does look promising in this movie. I've seen him in his roles in Holes and Transformers and a few of his television roles; I've liked what I've seen, especially Transformers.

As far as going all fangirly with the new trailer, shoot, I do that with just the music. I also love the line "Damn, I thought that was closer." BTW, who's the guy that says "This ain't going to be easy"? His voice sounds familiar, but his face doesn't ring a bell.

I've realized that I have no Indy Jones icons; I may have to rectify that soon.

Speaking of movies, the new Star Trek movie is due out in December and everyone has been cast. Karl Urban (the guy who played Eomer in LotR) has been slotted for "Bones" McCoy. I like him as an actor, but he'll be hard pressed to follow in DeForrest Kelley's shoes. Don't know if you've seen the line-up for the others cast or not. Urban is considerably older looking than the others, but then, so was Kelley and the character of "Bones". Truthfully, about the only one "Bones" doesn't out-age among the regular is Spock, but then, Spock is also half-Vulcan.

Oh hell yeah, the music alone is enough to make me fangirly. <3

That guy seemed to ping my memory, too. I just looked up on the cast list for the movie on imdb.com, and I'm assuming he's Ray Winstone, playing the character "Mac".

I've been monitoring the Trek casting, yeah--though now from what I'm hearing the movie's slipped from December to May 2009 because they want to do it as a summer release. Sniff. :( Karl Urban's going to have to work to make me not see Eomer while he's playing Bones, but I have hopes for the actress they've got playing Uhura--she's the one who played the pirate chick who clocked Jack Sparrow in the first PotC movie. The others, I'm not familiar with, and that's probably a good thing--it'll reduce my preconceptions about their abilities to play the roles going in.

And if you want some Jones icons, I can help you out with that. I made a few myself a while back. ;)

"Your enthusiasm is overwhelming!" - the FGM

Heh, sorry, had a Twice Upon a Time moment there. Which, come to think of it, is also Lucas-connected!

Anyway, we'll see. I'm willing to be hopeful here, and Spielberg still has more cred with me than Lucas does these days.

And Eric Bana's apparently playing the required 'evil dude'! I'm really waiting to see this one :D

[raise-a-jar.livejournal.com]

Whee!! A movie I actually want to see. Though given the time of year it comes out, there's no telling when I'll actually get around to seeing it!

[annathepiper]

All I got to say is, if they're going to delay it another entire six months, that Trek flick had damn well better be diamond-pristine by the time we see it!

In the meantime, I'll be over here alternating between being songvirused by the Raiders March and balefully looking in Lucas' direction, because if they screw up Indy, there will be blood! ;)

Between this and the X-Files movie also due out this summer, this year is totally a Greatest Hits of Anna the Piper 1990's Swoon Mileage. <3

I'll have to see how the next trailers sell me, and preferably also some early reviews--I'm scared of rushing too quickly to go see it!
