Well what do we have here? It looks like Shia LaBeouf has already scored his second Vanity Fair cover [1] in less than a year's time — pretty impressive if you ask us. The legendary Annie Leibovitz shot the photos of the Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull [2] cast on the set, including Shia, Harrison, and Cate Blanchett. We also get a peek at what went into making the 4th installment of the Indiana Jones chronicles from the sources themselves — George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and Harrison Ford. Here are highlights [3]:

- Harrison on getting back into character: “There’s something about the character that I guess is a good fit for me, because the minute I put the costume on, I recognize the tone that we need, and I feel confident and clear about the character.”
- Steven on teaming up with Harrison again: “I mean, we’re both older, and we both look a bit older, I think, certainly, but at the same time Harrison needed to recapture the caustic, laconic spirit of Dr. Jones, and certainly he was going to have to manage the action, and he did both of those things amazingly well, certainly far beyond what I expected.”
- George on how the movie will be received: “I know the critics are going to hate it. They already hate it. So there’s nothing we can do about that. They hate the idea that we’re making another one. They’ve already made up their minds.”

George Lucas may have a pessimistic outlook, but we have a feeling that we're not the only ones who can't wait to check out the new film. How could you go wrong with all the fun of an Indiana Jones [4] movie with great new additions to the cast?
