New Indiana Jones Downloads, Photos, Legos Hit The Net
The marketing machine for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the latest installment in the Indiana Jones film franchise, appears to be in full swing over the last few days, with various sites, sneak peeks and tie-ins popping up around the ‘Net. The film, which is scheduled for a May 22 release, stars Harrison Ford, Shia LaBeouf, Cate Blanchett, Ray Winstone, Karen Allen, John Hurt and Jim Broadbent.
Among the more notable items dug up recently:
- New downloadable wallpaper, icons and other virtual dressing on the official film site at www.indianajones.com [WARNING: Video and sound launch automatically.]
- A new website was launched for the Indiana Jones-themed Lego sets, featuring sticker sheets, wallpaper and other Lego goods [WARNING: More automatic video/music]
- A new photo from the film, featuring Ford, LaBeouf and Winstone
Heck, it’s like having your own, virtual archeological site without all of the dirt, sun and endless hours of dusting! Okay, not really… but if you’re an Indiana Jones fan, you get the idea.
It's very rude to have music without a button tto turn it off. All the ads on this page right now are for Legos!
Ha! The power of Advertising A.I. frightens me sometimes…And yes, the automated sound was very annoying on those pages… that's why I made sure to include the warnings. I always hate it when links don't include a warning about unstoppable audio.
They're also doing a video game in the style of the Lego Star Wars games. If they're as funny as the SW games are, they're gonna just kick ass.The cutscenes where they reenact the movies with an all lego cast are just priceless.
Not only that, but Lego Batman: The Video Game is slated for a fall, 2008 release. When that site launches, I'll be sure to check it out as well. I know there's a trailer for it online already, but the URL escapes me.
