The delectable Vanity Fair are back with an ever so wonderful and enormous Indiana Jones 4 five-page feature “Keys to the Kingdom”, containing quotes, interviews and news, but most importantly - new behind the scenes pictures, including our first ever glimpse of Cate Blanchett in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Make sure you don’t miss the 4 page Question and Answer session with Steven Spielberg, the George Lucas Q & A session and the behind the scenes of the photoshoot video.
Here are some choice quotes from director Steven Spielberg (via the Q & A session and HA):
I’m in my second cut, which means I’ve put the movie together and I’ve seen it. I usually do about five cuts as a director.
The best news is that – when I saw the movie myself the first time – there was nothing I wanted to go back and shoot, nothing I wanted to reshoot and nothing I wanted to add.
I go for geography. I want the audience to know not only which side the good guy’s on and the bad guy’s on but which side of the screen they’re in.
I want the audience to be able to edit as quickly as they want in a shot. [That has] been my style with all four of these “Indiana Jones” pictures.
Quick-cutting is very effective in some movies – like the “Bourne” pictures – but you sacrifice geography when you go for quick-cutting.
[That] is fine because audiences get a huge adrenaline rush from a cut every second and a half [in] “The Bourne Ultimatum”.
There’s just enough geography for the audience never to be lost especially in the last “Bourne” film, which I thought was the best of the three.
By the same token, Indy is a little more old-fashioned than the modern-day action adventure.

Update (via The Raider): This is not the actual cover, but a solicitation - says Jeremy Barlow, Associate Editor at Dark Horse:
That is NOT the cover to the comic adaptation — it is a “solicitation only” image that Lucasfilm provided for us. The cover(s) will be original painted works by Indy and Star Wars artist Hugh Fleming
Via Diamond Comic’s previews page, we get our first glimpse at the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’s comic book adaptation, with cover art by Steve Anderson:
The intrepid Doctor Henry Jones Jr. is back in his biggest adventure yet! This time, the world-renowned archaeologist finds himself caught in a series of events that all point to a discovery unlike any other. But will his rivals in pursuit of this priceless treasure seize his quarry from right under his nose? Not if he, and a few unexpected companions, have anything to say about it!
The thrill and the humor, the action and the romance, the hat and the whip—everything you love about Indy is here! This is a tale sure to please longtime fans as well as foster a whole generation of new ones!

Aint it Cool have updated again with much higher resolution, good quality Indiana Jones 4 images. These are the same pictures as found in the previous post, only “embiggened”. I’ve included a cropped close up for reference.

Aint it Cool are back with some lovely gems, no doubt extracted from some long lost forgotten temple. These crystalline beauties come in the form of three set pictures showing Shia and Harrison beneath ground, and Indy with his infamous whip!
