Jan 2 2008New 'Indiana Jones' Photos by Annie Leibovitz
An Vanity Fair article covering the lifespan of the Indiana Jones series has brought with it some new photos, including the above first shot of Cate Blanchett as Agent Spalko, an evil Russian from the time when we considered Russians evil, rather than the butt of jokes about waiting in line for bread. I can't be the only one seeing a cross between Prince Valiant (or Javier Bardem in No County For Old Men, if you prefer) and Thomas Gainsborough's The Blue Boy, but hopefully I'm the first to cleverly juxtapose the two.
More new Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull shots, like Shia LaBeouf pretending to ride a (possibly transforming) motorcycle, under the cut.
You can read the full article here, though I warn you, Vanity Fair's journalism has reached a point that an emoticon is used to close a paragraph.

Hahahahaha!! Omfg you said JOURNALISM!!!!! WTF IS JOURNALISM HAHAHAH!
I meant bwahaha. THe b adds punch.
Seriously when is the kudos headed to Cate Blanchett who has so blown up - I think the Leboof kid could hand some back. After all, Holes wasn't really a masterpiece.

The Russians aren't evil anymore? See Time's Man of the Year.
Please let that picture of Karen Allen not be too Photoshopped...

Yeah, the Russians are evil again. Thanks, Jim. They always were, really, they've just been biding their time.

I'm salivating and vibrating all at once. I'm just GEEKED that Kate Capshaw's character isn't back. I'd have to go to the set and strangle that bitch for the wellfare of all mankind. short-round needs to make a cameo.
