Vanity Fair has posted a preview of their February 2008 issue, which features Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull stars Harrison Ford and Shia LaBeouf on the cover.
The online preview contains an excerpt from the feature article, which includes three new images from the film (the article runs for five Web pages, so be sure to click through).
There’s also Web exclusive interviews with the film’s director Steven Spielberg and executive producer George Lucas, along with a behind-the-scenes video of the issue’s photo shoots with famed photographer Annie Leibovitz, as well as a link to a March 2004 article by Jim Windolf called “Raiders of the Lost Backyard.”
The three new images, which you can see here with captions after the jump, show Ford in full Indy gear on set in Los Angeles with Spielberg and Lucas; LeBeouf and Karen Allen on set in Downey, California; and the first image of Cate Blanchett as Agent Spalko.

No matter how hard work Karen Allen has already done so far as an Hollywood female action heroine icon diva, you have to wondered yourself how does she became a kind of person who can live each day of moments realizing wow being back onto the big screen and playing Marion Ravenwood again was the most highlighting thrill ride of your entire life . I think once you watch her do these action scenes with Harrison Ford and cast, there’s way that Karen Allen has done anything else to be much mature and more wiser as the character itself. However though it seems most likely taking charge of certain situations was pretty darn good if you can live your expectations on creating your own physical training of stunts without using a double person helping you on a set that was build . I have to admired her courage and ability to put enough power and strength as well as full confidence within Marion Ravenwood cause she is out a doubt one of the most impressive character who will do whatever it takes making sure she can do it her own way and certainly Karen Allen has done it so very well indeed. If there’s any other Hollywood actresses who can live their own expectations of becoming a female action heroine like Karen Allen let’s proved it once and for all if they got what does it takes to do their own creative style of using knowledge and wisdom to have a certain ability of taking risk that’s involved running down those big giant stairs, driving both vehicles into a water rapids and then dropped three times while holding onto the wheel and began to smile and laugh all at the same time at least . Come on now ! I have handle to Karen Allen not only is she capable of taking anything else like preventing such a tremendous movie onto the big screen like Indiana Jones trilogy, she has certain advantages to overcome with such great hope and dreams to making worth wild as well !
