One of the def­i­nite high­lights this year. Absolutely. Indi­ana Jones and the King­dom of the Crys­tal Skull is com­ing to a the­ater near you on May 22nd, 2008. That’s all the nec­es­sary info and we’re ready to watch the trailer. If you want to give HD a try, try over at Yahoo! Movies. Unfor­tu­nately, at the time I posted this it was really, really slow going.

With­out fur­ther ado, enjoy the trailer:

Due to strike com­pli­ca­tions Fox has been forced to delay the sev­enth sea­son of the pop­u­lar show to an unspec­i­fied date. Last week, Fox dropped the bomb­shell: There will be no sea­son of 24 in 2008! Up to now, the crew has already shot eight episodes and if Fox wanted to con­tinue pro­duc­tion this year, there would’ve been a lengthy break between the air­ing of the already shot episodes and the new ones. In order to ensure that the sev­enth sea­son was aired unin­ter­rupted, Fox opted to delay the show until Jan­u­ary 2009, one year after its orig­i­nally planned run date. TV.com has the news.

Here’s the low-down on what has been con­firmed for the sev­enth sea­son up to now:

• With CTU dis­man­tled, the show’s set­ting moves to Wash­ing­ton, D.C..
• Jack Bauer faces trial for his actions in the pur­suit of justice.
• Tony Almeida returns!
• Chloe O’Brian and Bill Buchanan too are back.
• There will be a female president.

I will eagerly await the next sea­son of 24. Hope­fully, they will use the time granted by the pow­ers that be to be more cre­ative than ever before. They absolutely need to pro­duce a show that really kicks some ass. After the dis­ap­point­ing sea­son 2 of Heroes I call it a good deci­sion to wait and prod­uct some qual­ity rather than some hastily thrown-together episodes.
