Shia: Making Solo Indy Movie!

Filed under: Film Flickers > Shia LaBeouf

George Lucas revealed that there's a VERY good chance that Indy 5 will happen.

Lucas says that he and director Steven Spielberg have left the door open for a sequel to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which is expected to open to huge numbers next week.

Lucas goes on to say, "I haven’t even told Steven or Harrison (Ford) this…But I have an idea to make Shia (LeBeouf) the lead character next time and have Harrison come back like Sean Connery did in the last movie. I can see it working out."

Score for Shia!

We like the idea!

What do U think?

I want you to eat my out while I am on my period Perez, and I want you to lick it all up and suck it all out REAL good!! I also want you to smash my gummy blood clots between your tongue and the roof of your mouth. I want you to press the blood clots on the back of your teeth until the ooze through your cracks. Please Perez, please.

I am so tired of them trying to push no talent Jewish kids as the next big star.

Get someone who is attractive and/or who can act. If he is Jewish, no problem, but I am tired of having stars whose only redeeming feature is that they are Jewish.

Re: michi –

Not talented? Are ya serious? Speaking as a comedian, at 10 years old, in his own show, this kid had awe-inspiring comedic timing and comedic expression! Everyone in the biz knew then that Shia was going to be huge! The kids got natural talent oozing from every pore. How do you judge talent?
Shia you will be the new king of Hollywood.

I love shai but harrison ford is what makes the movie. speaking as a true indiana jones fan it sounds nice but not gonna happen, it kill the movie if shai took over. Harrison ford is still hot.
Kimmy says – reply to this

43

Love Shia, but not too sure about this idea. If I was Lucas I would have waited to see how the movies does and how the fans re-act to Shia before I made this annoucement. I wouldn't mind seeing more Shiam, he's so fucking HOT!!!!

I was totally hoping this would happen! I've been a Shia fan since he was the dorky Louis on Even Stevens!
HE'S GREAT says – reply to this

48

I also will support him. If he sells a pet rock, I'd buy it just to support him and his talent. It is so refreshing to see a young celebrity with true blue bonafide talent. I want to see him succeed because he deserves it and will entertain all of us in the future. Guaranteed.

Re: Girl next door – and kimmy

I see your point BUT believe me Lucas & Spielberg have witnessed his work & what he can do and KNOW that Shia will deliver the goods. I'd bet you both a pair of Minolos he won't dissapoint you. Shia has mad talent and can do so many surprising things. You'll see
IT WILL FLOP says – reply to this

50

Only Hollywood execs like this kid, he looks like a fucking rat and can't act worth shit, he's also a little douche, very arrogant, whatever, I won't watch Indy without Harrison, and I won't watch anything that has this little twit as the lead so whatever, if mr. mediocre AKA Lucas wants to do a new Indy film with Shia, go ahead, but everybody will laugh at him because it would be a flop, not as many people as they think like Shia, in fact most people I know doesn't even know who he is, and those who do, can't stand him.
shiaaaaaa says – reply to this

51

Shia is the BOMB!!! I'm SO glad he is taking off! Although I would have been happy with him as Louis Stevens forever!! Woo hooooooo

Re: In the biz – Hi Shia's mom/sister/cousin/Shia Imself.

You are not fooling anybody sweetie, and the guy can't act, the only reason big names like Spielberg are pushing him down our throats is because he's a jew, and dorky.

I've love Shia since "even stevens" and he would be a great way to keep the Indy movie legend going !

Anywhere theres an article about him the commments are overwhelmingly good. So much for your liitle theory about being "mediocre". btw: you seem awfully raging for this type of thread no? You need to go back to bed crazy.

I think Indiana Jones should be about, well, INDIANA JONES! If Ford isn't on board as the lead character, don't do the movie and taint the rest of the jones films with a crappy last one.
mary says – reply to this

i adore shia but there will never be another Indy other then ford. i can't wait to see him in crystal skull though!
Neil says – reply to this

58

I like Shia…he is a good actor and has a great career ahead of him but I dont think he is the type of person to take over a big franchise like this..making INDY 4 was a treat for the fans and to carry on the series just to make more money is not fair to them.

Excellent idea! I had figured that's why they hired Shia in the first place. He's a great actor, not so bad looking and could carry a whole movie. I'm all for it!!

Re: #1 Fan –
#49 - #1 Fan

Ok this is the way I see it:

Shai fans think it would be great! Because shai is a great actor (I do agree). but what shai fans refuse to notice is that Harrison ford is the true "Indiana Jones." Just bc Shia is a great actor does not mean he can replace a classic character.

Indy fans wont like the idea bc it Lucas messing up another classic. (example: star wars)

so its shai fans (Some whom never even seen any indiana jones movie)vs the fans who would like to keep the Indiana jones theme as original as possible.

I so knew this was coming. I had said that was the reason Shia was in the movie to begin with, he will be the next Indiana Jones…

Harrison Ford is Indy.
No one can replace him.

Shia is an annoying fuck. I'm disappointed enough that he's in Crystal Skull.

Re: Girl Next door –

You got a point and I don't think he'll even try to ever replace Harrison, he'll do it his way( a slightly new spin) and I really think you'll enjoy it, we'll see though. We just have a real original here, this guy has alot to give, I'm just so happy to see he's starting to get his due. Long Live Lebeouf's career, I say.
Michael says – reply to this

No no no no no. Harrison Ford is Indie and nobody else is (other than the pet Dog he took the name from). Shia Frenchie needs to find his own franchise.
molly says – reply to this

71

people want to see harrison ford not shia la douche….that idea sucks
Hell no!! says – reply to this

72

Absolutely not, it will almost kill the franchise to the extent that Episode 1 almost killed the Star Wars franchise. I know Lucas wants to make money, but at what expense.
nicole says – reply to this

harrisons old. god love him but i love my shia way more. im glad for him!

I think It's a GREAT idea I love Shia acting, and he is a total hottie. I watched him back when Even stevens was on disney, and its great to see how successful he is becoming.

"I am so tired of them trying to push no talent Jewish kids as the next big star."
AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN
Add the dude from "Scrubs", David Schwimmer, Jack Black, Jonah Hill and other undeserving actors to that list too. I thought I was the only one who noticed these people getting constant free-press because of their religion. Shame on Hollywood and these fake fans that think Shia is actually talented. Did you see him in "Even-Stevens"? He sucked, then and he sucked even more in Transformers. Enough of Hollywood's religous nepotism!
JorgeJackson says – reply to this

This will never happen.
Jary says – reply to this

Re: Rob – Well that is true no one can replace Harrison Ford, this will probably inspire a spin off with an "Indiana Jones" type character for Shia to play. I think this kid is a good actor.

I love shia & the indy films, would be great idea to do it but dodgy area as they would have to get it right! Shias an amazing actor who can play both comedy & drama roles brilliantly, some folk just dont appreciate good talent!!!

Re: Give it a chance –
Shai is a great actor, I know he can carry a movie. He managed to salvage transformers given the "awful" performance by Megan fox. Just growing up watching Indiana Jones I'd hate for them to screw up a classic for the sake of making more money. that's my only concern
M says – reply to this

I think it's a BAD idea. I like Shai, but the Indiana Jones movies are about Indiana Jones… not the other characters

Love the kid and all but that is NOT alright! It wouldn't be an Indy film at all. Please tell me this is a joke.

I think this little Shia fucker is a chinless, chestless excuse of a twerp. He's not fit to carry Harrison Ford's sweaty jock strap. All things go in cycles and I will be glad when the current cycle of Hollywood leading men being whiny little metro sexuals is over. Steve McQueen buggered wimps like Shia for breakfast.

Re: hotel283 –

Don't worry, don't think he's going to try to be the next Steve MCQueen buddy, he's just going to rock being himself! I'm not a fan of the metro sexual either, I don't care what he dons for pictures, he's not a met. sex. at all.
