Now this is more like it. A couple weeks back we got a look at Indy and company courtesy of "Vanity Fair", and now our friends at Lucasfilm have released a cool new shot from "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" that feels just right for an Indiana Jones adventure. Harrison, Shia, and Ray Winstone aren't in the temple of doom but it sure looks like the kind of place where Indy could bitch about hating snakes and a poor guy could get his heart taken out of his chest.

Also, remember to check out all of our "Indiana Jones" photos right here.

We're happy. Are you? What's the next image you want to see from fourth Indy adventure?

Sit back, relax, and enjoy a hot, steaming cup of our links of the day, back again with news on "Indy 4," "The Karate Kid," "Bond 22," "X-Files," "Hellboy 2," Matt Damon and more.

Paul Rudd can do no wrong in my book. Sure he's great at the acting thing, knocking it out of the park in films like "Knocked Up" and "The Ten" (opening this Friday). But I'm really talking about interviews where he never fails to prove that he's one of the wittiest guys out there. My recent conversation with Mr. Rudd didn't fail to meet my lofty expectations. You can watch the whole Paul Rudd interview here, and see him explain why he hates condiments and feels like a junkie for playing fantasy baseball.

Then there's the clip below where Paul tells me about the part he wants to play in "Indiana Jones IV." Let the campaigning begin!

While out promoting his upcoming film "The Mist," writer/director Frank Darabont spoke to MTV News about his reported influence on the upcoming "Indiana Jones 4." Darabont was hired to write a script for the project in 2002, and his resulting story was also set in the 1950s and featured the return of Karen Allen's Marion Ravenwood -- but while Spielberg was rumored to favor it, Lucas rejected the draft. We'll be bringing you lots more with Darabont in the days ahead, so keep your eyes peeled to this very site.

Archaeologists at the San Diego Comic-Con may have uncovered a very well-prepared counterfeit: T-shirts that supposedly sport the title of the as-of-yet unnamed fourth "Indiana Jones" film. The tees, which are adorned with a Paramount logo on the front and a graphic for "Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods" -- the heavily rumored moniker for the movie -- on the back, were being handed out by the dozens by an unknown individual.

Representatives for Paramount steadfastly denied the shirt's authenticity, stating that "City of the Gods" was unequivocally not the actual title. If true, this would mark an impressive -- and expensive -- prank by one rabid fan.

Breaking news from our man at the Paramount panel at Comic-Con. Karen Allen has just appeared via video to confirm that she will apear in "Indiana Jones IV." Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford, Shia LaBeouf, and Ray Winstone all were appearing via satellite when the director left the scene for a moment to procure another director's chair. Lo and behold he presented a chair with Marion Ravenwood written on it. Of course the crowd went bananas and then out came Allen to talk briefly about her return to the series.

So it's true. Marion Ravenwood is back! And here's the first official photo of Allen on the set with Spielberg in Hawaii.

"You throw me the first-look items, I throw you the whip!"

Upon entering the 6500-person hall H at Comic-Con for today's first panel, every guest was given a Paramount goodie bag that contained an "Iron-Man" t-shirt (featuring the chestplate design), a "Star Trek" t (classic logo on front, "Stardate 12.26.08" on back), and a "Beowulf" comc book.

The real prize, however, was an artwork-heavy booklet with a silhouette of Indiana Jones on the cover. Inside are images from the 3 previous flicks, along with the words "He's been shot at", "He's been run over", "He's been chased", "He's been possessed and been obsessed", and finally, accompanied by a hand-drawn image of an older Indy on horseback..."And he's back for more."

The images are never-before-seen artwork by artist Drew Struzan, depicting scenes from the Indy flicks.

Promising a "Memorial Day 2008" release, the booklet gives an early peek at Lucas and Spielberg's plans to link their new film with the classic trilogy. Most certainly, it will prove as valuable on eBay tomorrow as the Ark itself.
