Classic. I really can’t wait for this movie. Here are some more tidbits on the plot, etc:
“When last we saw Indy, he was riding off into the sunset in 1989’s The Last Crusade, set in 1938 near the start of World War II. The new movie, due this spring, is set at the height of the Cold War in 1957, so the character has aged in real time — 19 years.
“He’s teaching and having kind of a quiet life,” the producer says. Once the archaeologist is thrust back into danger, the signature Indiana Jones red line tracing across the map will take him to New Mexico, Connecticut, Mexico City and the jungles of Peru.
The Nazis are no longer Indy’s chief foe — he’s racing for the Crystal Skull against operatives from the Soviet Union, including Oscar winner Cate Blanchett as the seductive Agent Spalko. “Indy always has a love-hate relationship with every woman he ever comes in contact with,” Marshall says.”
Ray Winstone, currently the star of Beowulf, co-stars as an unethical rival archaeologist. Transformers star Shia LaBeouf sports greaser hair and rides a motorcycle as the hero’s sidekick.
The artifact of the title is inspired by real quartz sculptures of disputed origins that are carved in a way that defies the natural structure of the crystal.
“The theory is they are shaped by higher powers or alien powers or came from another world, or an ancient Mayan civilization had the powers,” Marshall says.”

A gothic thriller for the twenty-first century, Season of the Witch tells the tale of two beautiful witch sisters and the love triangle that consumes the man sent to investigate them.
Gabriel Blackstone is a hacker, information thief, and skilled “remote viewer” – he makes an excellent living stealing other people’s secrets. When a former lover asks him to look into the disappearance of her stepson, Gabriel’s investigations lead him to Monk House, a rambling Victorian home where time seems to stand still. Gabriel becomes increasingly bewitched by the house, and by its owners, the beautiful, enigmatic Morrighan and Minnaloushe Monk.
The sisters are “solar” witches, obsessed with the study of alchemy and the Art of Memory, a practice invented by the ancient Greeks. Gabriel believes that his client’s son has been murdered and that one of the women is the killer. But which one? Gabriel finds himself drawn inexorably deeper into the sisters’ complex world – becoming entranced even as he realizes he is in mortal danger.
Swirling together elements of the Matrix, Interview with the Vampire, and The Historian, this enthralling novel takes on big themes – love, death, alchemy, the power of the human mind to transform and transcend reality – and will beguile and entrance all who turn its pages.
