*cues Indiana Jones theme*

Yeah, the actor from Holes and Even Stevens will "appear alongside" Indiana Jones in the fourth long-awaited installment that returns Harrison Ford as one of the top ten awesomest people of all time, including MacGyver(Richard Dean Anderson), Cordell Walker (Chuck Norris), and the various James Bonds, among other individuals. Oh yeah, put 22 May 2008 on your calendar(s).

LOS ANGELES - After months of building Internet buzz, this can finally be reported as fact:
Shia LaBeouf has been cast in the upcoming "Indiana Jones" movie.

Producer
George Lucas and director
Steven Spielberg announced Friday that LaBeouf will appear alongside
Harrison Ford in the fourth installment of the adventure franchise, scheduled for release May 22, 2008. Production is set to begin in June.

"We are excited about bringing Shia into our Indy family," Spielberg said in a statement on the "Indiana Jones" Web site. "His talent has impressed not only his audiences throughout his young career but the directors, producers and fellow actors who have worked with him in his television career and now his film career."

Paramount, a division of Viacom Inc., declined Friday to say what role LaBeouf would be playing.

The 20-year-old actor told The Associated Press in March that the persistent Internet rumors about his casting in the film were just that — rumors.

"The way that thing started, it's just wild how it snowballed," LaBeouf told the AP then. "I don't have a deal on the table, it's just a rumor. Would I do it? In a second. It'd be working for a legend and working with legends. Who wouldn't? But is it something I'm doing right now? No. I'm an out-of-work actor."

It's a busy weekend for the up-and-coming actor. He stars in "Disturbia," a high-tech, teen version of "Rear Window," which opened Friday; then he's hosting NBC's "Saturday Night Live" on Saturday.

LaBeouf also co-stars in this summer's "Transformers" movie for Spielberg's DreamWorks Pictures, and provides the voice of one of the penguins in the animated "Surf's Up." His previous films include "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints," "The Greatest Game Ever Played" and "Holes." He also won a Daytime Emmy in 2003 for the Disney Channel series "Even Stevens."

Wait, Shia...Isn't that a islam guy? /is being stupid

the kid from even stevens growing up, eh? cool. I hear he was good in Disturbia, so why not put him in the IJ4?

Please... please don't. No good will come of this :(

Leave my childhood alone you bastards! You destroyed Star Wars, isn't that enough?!?!!

Please... please don't. No good will come of this :(

Leave my childhood alone you bastards! You destroyed Star Wars, isn't that enough?!?!!

Quiet, Communist!

I couldn't care less about Indiana Jones, but ever since Holes I looooove Shia LaBeouf. *is happy*

Please... please don't. No good will come of this :(

Leave my childhood alone you bastards! You destroyed Star Wars, isn't that enough?!?!!

Oh, we forgot to tell you a few things:

There is no Santa Claus, your parents weren't wrestling that night, and your imaginary friend was hit by a bus. :)

Ok, there is the random kid sidekick, who is the babe Indy is going to end up sleeping with going to be?

I am looking forward to this new Indiana Jones. I always liked the whole series. When the first one came out I remember how much of a landmark movie it was.

old man Jones and his cat should be doing this

Not too familiar with the actor himself, being able to only half remember "Even Stevens". However, from what I gather here, he's a decent actor, and thus as well qualified as anybody to act in "Indiana Jones".

I simply wish they'd leave successful films alone, given that I daresay they won't reproduce the old quality of "Indiana Jones",and actually produce NEW FUCKING FILMS.:mad:

Quiet, Communist!

Only Sel Appa could think Chuck Norris and a fourth Indiana Jones movie are cool.

who is this dude?

Shia who?

who is this dude?

Shia who?
You know that guy who stared in the movie from the second season of Project Greenlight?

Not helping?

He's also the kid in that Rear Window style movie where the dude from 12 Monkeys is killing people and Shia is under house arrest...and he's also the kid in the Transformers movie...

Please... please don't. No good will come of this :(

Leave my childhood alone you bastards! You destroyed Star Wars, isn't that enough?!?!!
I don't know that something like this really qualifies as 'destroying your childhood,' man, sorry.

Ok, there is the random kid sidekick, who is the babe Indy is going to end up sleeping with going to be?

I think this is the one where Indy comes out of the closet. It's the 00's, man.

I agree with the poster who said that poor Harrison should stick to grown up films from now on.

Besides, with evolving politics, what's the new one going to be called; "Indiana Jones and the pillaging of indigenous artifacts"?

There's really an actor named "LaBeouf"?
Pics please! :p

meh.
I watched the 3 Indy movies recently.
First one was fantastic when it came out - and still is.
2nd one not so great - irritating sidekick and love interest reduced to a squealing puppet.
3rd one - couldn't even bring myself to finish watching it. Was shite then and is shite now. Anyone who says different is a liar and a cad.


Now we have a 4th one with Harrison Ford a 65 year old adventure 'star' and yet another annoying sidekick.
Forgive me if I don't appear overly enthused by the thought.

I'm imagine that the movie would consist of Indy shuffling around on his cane, reminiscing about the good old days, complaining about his arthritis, and telling the new kid how to avoid being killed.

Indy always shot first.

Isn't Shia that Even Stevens/Constantine's cabby kid?

Okay, that's it...if Indiana Jones gets a fourth installment, then so does Back to the Future. It has to now...there's just no question.

Shia LaBeouf?

I have never heard of this person.

I like the trilogy. Well except 2 of course.

The story writer has me concerned as this is his track record:
1. Scared Guys (2008) (announced) (screenplay)
2. Fourth Installment of the Indiana Jones Adventures (2008) (pre-production) (story)
3. Rush Hour 3 (2007) (filming) (written by)

4. The Last Shot (2004) (written by)
5. The Terminal (2004) (screenplay)
6. Catch Me If You Can (2002) (screenplay)
7. Rush Hour 2 (2001) (written by)

8. Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997) (screenplay)
9. For Better or Worse (1996) (written by)
10. "Bakersfield P.D." (1993) TV Series (unknown episodes)

The screen play guy is good but it don't matter much if you get a crappy story.....

O rly? no me gusta.

It's a concern, to be sure, but not necessarily a sure sign of disaster. Story credits often go to appease agreements when producers dump the original writer. It's all about the protections for credit and compensation the WGA gives. It does protect writers who otherwise would be screwed (and often have been even with the DGA) but sometimes can cause confusion.

I've never seen any of the Indiana Jones movies..

Nono, not destroying my childhood, but messing with my feelings and childhood memories by fucking up Star Wars.

Dear God this just scares me even more!

Shia LaBeouf?

I have never heard of this person.
You've probably seen him.
The brother in Even Stevens; one of the characters in Holes; the kid in I, Robot.

Shia LaBeouf is a fucking hack.

If you've been in a horror movie in the last five years that wasn't Saw, you are a fucking hack.

My neighbor is killing people, but my parents and the cops won't believe me! Oh what a cruel fate god hath delivered me!

Home Alone had a better plotline.

EVEN STEVENS IS INDIANA JONES :eek:

man..he's really taking grown up roles he's now in Distubia, Indiana Jones and i think he's gonna be in Transformers the Movie

POST NUMBER 200!!
