Paramount Press Release: Shia LaBeouf is Set for Indiana Jones

Harrison Ford is.

He will join Harrison Ford who returns as the action hero, the man with the hat and the whip.

UGH. I don't like this kid, and I don't want him to stain Indiana Jones. Seriously. I wish they would just leave Indy alone. The last movie was a perfectly fine way to end it. Plus, we got that TV series. We don't need another movie if it's going to co-star Mr. Flavor-of-the-Month.

i feel stupid . now to see if its good

Ok, good, so he's just a sidekick. I can respect that.

I would still see this movie if he wasn't in it

I'm not a big fan of his

Whoa, Shia is in a lot of pretty awesome movies this year... Insomnia, TF, Indy and also voices a character in.. Surf's Up? He's going to be a little rich motherf*cker, as he would sasy it..

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Im getting sick of this kid. Whats next hes gonna be in the next Star War movie?

So...apparently, he's the next "Short Round?"

So will he drop F-bombs in that movie like he does in his interviews?

I have 0% interest in another Indiana Jones movie. All the old timers careers are laggging & now they're going back to their roots to try to regain some glory. Stalloone is going back to Rocky & Rambo, Bruce is back to Die Hard, Harrison is going back to Indiana Jones. It's really sad that their careers are going down the toilet & they feel the need to revisit their glory days. What are they hoping to gain? They can't go back, their careers aren't gonna be resurrescted.

NOOOOOOO

And why, pray tell, is this even newsworthy here? The news section doesn't keep track of Peter Cullen or Scott McNeil's roles outside of Transformers, so why should we care what Shia LeBouf is doing?

I heard he was playing Indy's son. Regardless Ryan stop promoting every move this kid does. If you're going to do that might as well add news about the Transformers voice actors from the cartoons projects or don't call this a Transformers website or add Shia LaBeouf fansite to the title.

I guess I felt it was newsworthy since it involves a lot of the same people/companies as the Transformers movie.

Spielberg
LaBeouf
Paramount
Dreamworks

The article mentions Transformers as well. I thought it was interesting information. Let me ask this, if Peter Cullen was offered a role in Indiana Jones, don't you think we would report on that as well?

Wow! The kid does have quite a career after all! I never realized he was in half the movies listen there, and he has a bunch of big stuff coming up.

I can understand why the actors keep going back to things like Indy, Rocky, and Die Hard... it's because there's so few movies of quality being made! Other than TF, think of the summer movies most of us are coming out: another Spiderman, another Harry Potter, another Fantastic Four, another Shrek, another Pirates of the Caribean, etc., etc. The rest of the movies that come out... hardly anyone hears about, for very little is spent on advertising them, or they are only available as a "limited" release before hitting DVD.

People just don't go to the movies anymore unless the movie is a "blockbuster." It's gotten to be just too darn expensive, especially if you want a soda and something to munch on. And thus, fewer and fewer movies of substance are made as there's little chance of regaining money off of such an investment.

They issue a press release now even though it was pretty much announced weeks ago?

People need to stop hating on him just because he is making movies that involve properties that people like. Im sure if a lot of you count how often you cuss it would be up there with Shia, I sure as hell know I would.

As far as the "old timers" going back to what made them famous. Think about it for a minute, none of you really knew who Cullen or Welker was until 1984 and that first set of shows, so now 23 years later what are they doing. Going back to the glory days. They have done other projects since then as have the "old timers" but now its being revisited. Do you know why? Because nostalgia makes money. Why do you think people are willing to spend 100 dollars on a toy that transforms into an oversized gun, because you guys think back to your childhood and remember the fun that you had and you want to recreate it. Why cant movie properties be brought back to give the people that are children and teens now that same sence of nostalgia when they have memorabilia for it in a few years.

what about sean connery where is he in the movie?

Grab it while you can

Bloody Hell and Got-danged spawn of the devil!

They just HAD to do it, didn't they, they just HAD to put in a kid to appeal to younger audiences! Well fudge that!

Mark my words, Shia LaBeouf will most likely make this movie suck in the worst possible way. (unless they kill him halfway through)

I'm also giving 4:1 odds that they use this to kill off Indy.

They should've stuck with what they knew worked Indy v. Nazis for holy relics.

Star Wars should have been left as a trilogy. The Indys should be left as a trilogy. There is nothing but disaster in store for a 4th Indy film. I assume Shia will take Ford's place, dawning his Fedora at the end of the film and scratching his face while cracking Indy's whip.

"Hey, lady! You call him Dr. Jones! Not Dr. LaBeouf!"

Have you even seen one of Shia's movies that wasnt marketed towards kids? I saw disturbia on saturday and it was pretty good, It went back to the old school suspense thriller instead of just being some slasher gorefest.

Yeah, I think he's playing Indy's son, so, yeah, he'll probably end up putting on the hat and hanging the whip on his belt in the end.

No time for f*&%#@ love, Dr. Jones!
