New Indy Box Art & Interview! 27 Nov, 2002, 18:22 / 17 comments

By DJG


As promised, LucasArts has posted the box art for Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb, which you can view here.

In addition to the sweet cover design, LucasArts conducted an interview with Drew Struzan, the creator of the box art as well as the posters for the previous Indy films and Infernal Machine. Here's a quote:
I compose the picture and elements in a strong and classical manner to set the scene with the proper emotional tone; that of secure and powerful, rock steady design. The color composition is warm, as is the trademark of so many of the Indy pieces, making it at that magic hour with the setting sun. Of course the reason I was asked to do the piece in the first place is that my style and taste is recognizable as the authentic Indy representation. With me doing it, it says immediately that this product is the real thing.
Check it out! A new screenshot for the game is also available at the site. And to those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving and aren't vegetarian, enjoy your turkey dinner!

    Heh. That's nice. Is that guy in the left corner supposed to be Mr. Threepwood?
  • QueZTone on 28 Nov, 2002, 13:12…
    im afraid that's a poor attempt of mi3 guybrush indeed :)
  • Paco on 28 Nov, 2002, 14:28…
    Heheh, it looks like fanart ;) Also, young Anakin is sitting at a table together with princess Leia. Isn't that...odd?
  • QueZTone on 28 Nov, 2002, 17:03…
    you must be joking about the leia thing right? yes....yes you must be...i mean...
    that's obviously Marion, can't you see Indy behind her? d0h!
  • jp-30 on 28 Nov, 2002, 17:36…
    you must be joking about the Marion thing right? yes....yes you must be...i mean...

    that's obviously Shmi Skywalker, can't you see little Ani beside her? d0h!

    And Leia's beside the attempt at Guybrush. Don't like the glad eye Anakin's giving her though. Ewwww...


    Love the R2 dome on the serving dish.
  • QueZTone on 29 Nov, 2002, 05:16…
    omg :p

    i dont know if you're the first one who's serious or if you're joking as well again ;p

    but that's obviously marion, and the other one is not leia nor PADME but it's clearly monmothma

    The girl in front of "Guybrush", must really be Leia. Look at her hair man!!1 :P
  • matt on 28 Nov, 2002, 15:32…
    maybe george lucas himself crafted that piece of art ... seems he's getting senile :) - that'd explain his latest movies, too.

    anyway - who the hell is so sick that he draws carefully a detailed face of that anakin brat and then he spits out that inexcuseable version of guybrush??
  • QueZTone on 27 Nov, 2002, 23:58…
    its a perfect drawing of a young energic Indy. The girl's good too. The border and composition make it seem like a dark episode ala Temple of Doom. The evil dude on the right scares me..
  • boeffl on 27 Nov, 2002, 23:51…
    i cant await the release of the great game. i hope the game is running on a p3 500 Mhz?
  • Scummbuddy on 27 Nov, 2002, 22:10…
    sweet, i but Ill have to buy the PC game also just to get the cool box art, not some ghetto sized dvd case for xbox
  • Entity on 27 Nov, 2002, 21:43…
    Wow... It looks great - I wasn't going to get ET, but this puts you in the Indy mood... that aswell as the news a couple of weeks ago that the instruction manual is going to be elaborate and cool! :)
  • Remi O on 27 Nov, 2002, 19:57…
    The little Indy collage is the win. I don't like the border though.
