My son and I are already playing with our LEGO Indiana Jones playsets… okay, he’s only 8 months old, so most of the playing is being done by your’s truly. In addition to more Indiana Jones sets coming this year, LEGO has also announced new sets from its other licensed toy line, including Speed Racer, and you don’t want to miss the new Batman line that will feature the first Harley Quinn minifig.

You really don’t want to know.

Okay, if you must, it’s another toy from Hasbro based on Raiders of the Lost Ark, called Taters of the Lost Ark. I think I’m gonna pass on this one.

It’ll sell for $15, when it is released May 1, 2008.

Things aren’t looking too good for the fourth Indiana Jones film. First it was the “surprise” announcement of the movie’s title on the MTV Video Awards, then an extra on the set breached his confidentiality agreement by blabbing his mouth to his hometown paper.

The latest hit to the production is the apparent theft of computers, photographs, and propriety information from the production offices.

A spokesman for director Steven Spielberg confirmed the theft but could not comment on when or where the alleged crime occurred because “a law enforcement investigation is ongoing.”

Not that this is anything to worry about - production won’t be set back because of a simple theft. However, be on the lookout on all those gossip sites for this information to begin appearing.

UPDATE: Good News Everyone! Another website is reporting a sting went down and the thief was caught trying to sell the goods to TMZ.com for $2,000.

Ain’t It Cool News is reporting the fourth Indiana Jones movie has a sequence set in the warehouse from the first movie.

How awesome would that be? Of course Mulder already had a moment like that in X-Files, and my man The Question did something similar in a recent issue of Justice Leage Unlimited, but still…

THIS MOVIE IS GONNA ROCK

That is all.

If you were one of the few that still watch MTV (seriously, don’t admit that you still watch MTV), you may have seen Shia LaBeouf make an announcement during the VMAs about the title of the next Indiana Jones movie.

You don’t need me to tell you a third time, right?

LaBeouf, who stars in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull with Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett, Karen Allen, Ray Winstone and John Hurt, announced the title during today’s MTV Video Music Awards, which were broadcast live from Las Vegas. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a Lucasfilm Ltd. and is being distributed by Paramount Pictures. It will be released in the U.S. and simultaneously in most territories worldwide on Thursday, May 22, 2008. Frank Marshall returns as producer, with Kathleen Kennedy joining George Lucas as executive producer.

Could the crystal skull be an alien skull found in Mayan or Aztec pyramids?

Oh man, first it was Lego Star Wars, then Lego Batman, now Lego and LucasArts are teaming up for Lego Indiana Jones: The Videogame.

The game will be a tounge-in-cheek as players take on the role of Indiana Jones as he whips his way through the three movies.

Way back in 1995 or so, when Lego released it’s Adventure series, I posted how cool it would be to have actual Indiana Jones playsets. Well it looks like 12 years of waiting is finally paying off as Lego and Lucasfilm have announced we’ll get Indiana Jones playsets in January 2008.
