I really hope that's the case, especially since WB has called him to do DVD artwork for Frank Darabont's Stephen King films (Shawshank Redemption and Green Mile). If not, then at the VERY least, I'd like to see him return for the Deathly Hallows poster, that way his artwork bookends the series. Here's his rejected Chamber of Secrets poster:

While I admit I prefer the Sorcerer's Stone one, this piece completely creams all of the posters of movies 2-5. The final Chamber poster they ended up with (domestically) is quite bland:

And now to make this post more on-topic, I really hope the January rumor for the Indy trailer is true. I'm willing to bet it'll debut with Cloverfield, which is easily the most anticipated movie that month, plus it's a Paramount release.

Well, I know I'm going to get a lot of hatin' for typing this but...

... its good to see Lucas can choose titles which sound as clunky as his dialogue when spoken out. Consistancy is good.

Well, the HP 2 poster by Struzan looks a bit bland myself. Not that it isn't good, it's just I can see why the WB would reject it. Such as, what is with those stars? And why isn't Lockhart and/or Tom Riddle in the poster? And the overlapping layout is a bit much.

I think Struzan should've gone with a different layout than what he came up for the second movie. And I wish they'd have given him a second chance to redo the second poster, and after that they'd have kept him for the rest of the films. But yeah, I'd love to see him do the poster for Deathly Hallows.

I have to agree that I LOVE Sruzan's work but don't really like the layout of his Chamber of Secrets poster. I do wish they'd given him a second chance too though. LOVE the new Indy poster and it is definitely my most anticipated movie right now, Batman being second. I'm dying to see trailers from both of those!

The Indiana Jones poster looks good. :D

But, I don't see the problem with the Chamber of Secrets one... :? It's no more or less detailed than the one WB chose, but it would have looked more interesting with Riddle and Lockhart.

It's not the detail for me, it's the awkward composition. Seems like there is nothing on the right.

May 22 can't get here soon enough.

By the way, Harrison Ford will be at our Hotel on February 28th for four days. He is bringing in his airplane for service, and also getting in his recurrent testing for his license and insurance. I hope to have a few minutes with him to talk about his adventures making this movie. I am sure he will have some stories to tell.

I was fairly indifferent about this...until now.

Have to admit that my buzz level has gone up a few percent... :)

Excellent teaser! I love how they started off with clips from the original trilogy to ease us into it. The bit with him and the bullwhip was priceless and alleviates my fears on how he'd be presented in this film. On one hand, I was afraid they'd try to ignore the fact that he's aged, even though I know Spielberg has repeatedly denied that. On the other hand, I was afraid they'd wreck his character by focusing too much on the age aspect. Thankfully, he seems to still have his edge and charisma while coming to grips with his age. I can't wait to see him interact with Marion again. As Veruca Salt would say, "Make time go faster!"

It looks good, I was just watching the first three films earlier today. I can wait for it to come out though, I mean once it's here and you've seen it then that's it nothing to really look forward to aside from the dvd release.

Personally, I don't agree with T/P Fan I didn't think it's the best trailer. Prince Caspian holds that place for me :)

Haha, I love the scene in the warehouse. That's amazing.

A friend of a friend was an extra when they were shooting at Yale, and he was sneaking up to the craft services table. As he was grabbing cereal, he noticed someone coming up behind him, and turned around to face Harrison Ford. He just looked at Harrison for a beat, trying to think of something to say. All he got out was "...whatcha thinking?"

Harrison replied that he was looking for something to eat.

"Well... they have Cocoa Puffs," he said.

Harrison said something back to him about needed to stay in shape for the film.

"Oh... well, they have Cheerios, too."

He then just sort of hung there as Harrison went looked around the table.

"Well... I have to go," he finally said to Harrison, "the DP is looking at me."

And that was his experience on the "Indiana Jones" set.
