Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Diane Sawyer’s Skull
So. The Indiana Jones 4 trailer debuts this weekend with some movie called The Spiderwick Chronicles, which I’m sure even Lucas realizes isn’t going to be the break-out fantasy film of 2008. So he’s decided to premiere the trailer tomorrow, February 14th…on Good Morning America? Between 8 and 9 a.m.? The hell?
I can only guess that Lucas and Spielberg are trying to capture the long-running TV show’s natural audience of cranky sexagenarians, as that’s most likely who will believe star/fellow cranky sexagenarian Harrison Ford as an action hero at this point. For those of you who are less than 60 years old, you might just want to watch the trailer on IndianaJones.com after 9 a.m., or whenever you wake up tomorrow.
