INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL. That's the official name of the fourth INDIANA JONES movie as announced by Shia LaBeouf at the MTV Video Music Awards just a few hours ago and confirmed shortly thereafter by Paramount Pictures and Lucasfilm at the official site. CRYSTAL SKULL was one of the reported six titles that were registered with the MPAA. It's certainly better than CITY OF THE GODS or QUEST OF THE COVENANT or some of the other titles that have been floating around forever. It's got that mysterious adventure feel (what exactly are the "crystal skulls"?) that fits right in with the rest of the franchise. It may feel a little clunky at first, but I guarantee you by next spring it'll roll right off you're tongue as you're saying "Two tickets to INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL please." As you might expect, MTV has the footage of LaBeouf announcing the name at the VMAs online which you can check out here. Let the Strike Backing of CRYSTAL SKULLS begin below...

Don't call this overly long when the first film is "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark" yeah ok, the Indiana part was added on later, but still. I agree they could have probably given it a better name but it's not the worst thing that could have happened. Also kind of erases any thoughts of Area 51 rumors.

In fact, it`s almost as bad a title as "Episode I: The Phantom Menace".

Title isn't too bad (I liked City of the Gods as well). What it reminds me of, interestingly, is the Canyon of the Crescent Moon (also 5 words): the site of the Holy Grail in Last Crusade.

Maybe if they hear that thrown around enough, they will change it. I dont care if they are crystal skulls in the movie, its too late to do anything now, just don't turn off your best fans before they pay. ;-) EDIT: I don't know why I thought there was more than one skull, so my title doesn't work... but neither does theirs. Movie will probably rock, depends on how little Shia is involved in everything for me

Look, guys... I'm with Sampson here. By the time the film comes out it'll be working. Plus you'll have the context of the film to put it in.

The sad part is that this film is doomed to be hated no matter what - expectation will be too high. Haters will go to say, "I told you it was weak," and those of us who feel like it could go either way are going to be lead down a path of wanting it to be good SO MUCH that it'll never live up. It's how I felt about "Die Hard 4.0"

Oh well. Either way, they've got by $10 bucks.

Lucas should just stop trying not because he is a let down, but because no matter what he does people will hate it. It's not his fault he made two f'ing amazing trilogies earlier in his career that you people all love so much and then when he tries to give you more you just get pissed cause it's not what "you" want. I feel bad for the guy. I love Star Wars. I love Indiana Jones. And I know that now that I'm older I have unrealistic high hopes for any kind of sequels or prequels that I can just enjoy what he gives me. Which is another adventure with the characters I love. Basically people you wouldn't have liked any title he picked, so just learn to accept this one. FYI: I'm cool with the new title, and it's already growing on me.

Certainly intriguing, but waaaaay too long. Then again, when May comes around and people are discussing what movie they want to go see, everybody's just going to say, "Let's go see Indiana Jones." However I did think "City of the Gods" would have been badass, or it could have simply been "Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull," though perhaps that doesn't explain the movie's plot enough.
