Variety has confirmed a report from AICN that Shia LaBeouf is in final negotiations to join the upcoming film, Indiana Jones 4.

LaBeouf will play the son of the adventuresome archaeologist to be played once again by Harrison Ford.

Indiana Jones 4 is currently scheduled for a May 22, 2008 release.


KJ's Take:  I'll see how he does in Transformers and go from there.  By the way, did I mention how friggin pumped I am for Transformers?

Cannot wait for Indiana 4. I will not believe it until I actually see it. I hope they are not trying to make some kind of lead off with Shia, he would not make a good indiana. HURRY UP WITH THIS FLICK!!!! I can hear the music now.

The only good thing about the new Transformers movie is that almost exposed boob in the still photo above. That looks good. The rest of the film does not.

Shia has a natural talent. He was great in "Even Stevens"... I don't normally watch shows like that, but his humor made it. He's also not full of himself. Hopefully, he won't get a swelled head after getting these big projects.

What I want to know is... what's with this temporary title "Fourth Installment of the Indiana Jones Adventures"?

Isn't Indiana Jones 4 good enough?

My jaw drops every time I see that photo of Megan Fox. Wow... just wow!

its funny how the only picture of Shia they have here at Mania is one with the hottie Megan Fox. Coincidence? I think not.

Oh we have more, I just like this one for reasons previously stated.

If Indy has a son, then who's his mother? I hope its Karen Allen from Raiders of the Lost Ark. Or maybe it will be Kate Capshaw (and real life Mrs. Spielberg) from Temple of Doom. Best scenario: both. Nobody cares about that uncharismatic blonde bore from Last Crusade, so she isn't even in the conversation. What about Short Round?

yeah collector, Shia is playing Indy............ good call.

Captmathman • Mar 08, 2007, 07:52am •
jppintar, I'm pretty sure Short Round wasn't the mother.
I'm still more worried than excited about this project. The films were an homage to the adventure cliffhangers of the 20's and 30's. If this is set in the 50's, they may find a hard time capturing that feel somehow. I can't quite put my finger on what bothers me here. I hope they succeed, regardless of my trepidations.
