“Indiana Jones” Cannes Film Festival Premiere Phot...

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull premiered to much fanfare at the 61st Cannes Film Festival on Sunday. The world premiere of the fourth installment of Indy, the first in 19 years, was the hottest ticket at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival. The new globetrotting adventure finds archaeologist Indiana Jones battling Russians, led by actress Cate Blanchett, in a globetrotting adventure that once again may put the entire world at stake.
Star Jones, Natalie Portman, Dennis Hopper, Dean Cain, and Glodie Hawn were just a few of the Hollywood fixtures who swung by for a the World Premiere of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Check out a few photos from the premiere.
Indy may be back in action, but the film failed to wow the crowd in Southern France. Christian Monggaard, who is reviewing the movie for Danish newspaper Information, called Crystal Skull an “overblown special-effects extravaganza.”
“Talk about a woman scorned,” Monggaard said. “A fan scorned is even worse.”
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull opens Thursday.
