Leyendecker. Although he worked in the same mediums as other illustrators of his time (watercolor, acrylic, airbrush, and color pencil), the “crisp” detailed and flat lighting style Amsel often employed is something that alluded many artists. To see a great example of this type of the detail, look no further than Harrison Ford’s face right down to the whiskers in the domestic Raiders of the Lost Ark one-sheet. Amsel’s Raiders work is an interesting contrast to the dynamic lighting style of Drew Struzan’s recent Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull poster.

The International version, while featuring the same artwork, states "2008". A lot of dealers don't advertise that, nor do the majority of eBay sellers who usually don't understand the original movie poster industry and misrepresent posters all the time. From what I have heard, there are four different styles expected to be released for the upcoming Indiana Jones film, with the second style to coincide with the first trailer (which I personally felt should have been released over the Christmas holiday to get the buzz out there to those who didn't even know another film was coming).

I'm an incredible Indy fan, and it's amazing how different Indy looks in this poster (and also in the promo photos). The Indy in the poster looks like Harrison Ford's stunt double, actually heh. Old age (and possibly augmentative surgery) comes to us all, I suppose. I do agree on the similarity with the Temple of Doom teaser poster, I immediately saw it as well. Wow.

Maybe it's a bit bland? Maybe it doesn't really say anything much about the film. The change in logotype is immediately noticeable, and not very welcome. Familiarity should be key with the Indy franchise. On the plus side (at least for Harrison), Indy looks quite fit for 65 :) Drew Struzan is a talented man, but there’s something about this teaser art I just don’t like.

Struzan did the domestic Temple of Doom poster, not the teaser. The aforementioned Temple of Doom teaser poster was illustrated by Bruce Wolf. Thanks for catching that error.

It would be an insult to the man to claim otherwise. Struzan did not make the mentioned previous Indy-teaser for Temple of Doom. It would be an insult to the man to claim otherwise.
