Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, out May 22, 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 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, 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.

Is that Karen Allen on the back of that motorcycle?
I'm not so into the "staged" publicity shots.

I couldn't get past page 2 of the article, but the idea of emulating 50's sci-fi movies instead of 30's adventure serials has some merit...maaaaybe.

Are Shia and Karen Allen in the big warehouse of crates from the end of Raiders?
