Indy's Back in Vanity Fair

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the film hits theaters on May 22; the highly anticipated film is going to be more like classic sci-fi films than the Saturday serials that inspired the earlier Indy films. That’s according to the February Vanity Fair, which digs deeply into Crystal Skull by talking to Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg and director George Lucas, who says: “Instead of doing a ’30s Republic serial, we’re doing a B science-fiction movie of the ’50s … like The Creature from the Black Lagoon, The Blob, and The Thing.” Plot details remain scarce, but we know the story is set in 1957 as Indy battles Cold War Russians, led by Cate Blanchett as Agent Spalko. The issue hits newsstands in New York and Los Angeles today.
