He's also the lead human in Transformers, I believe.

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
Is this kid ready for a franchise like Indiana Jones? I'm not putting him down, just asking from people who have seen him.
as long as he is not required to carry this type of movie himself - he should do fine. i don't think he is at the point yet where he could do that.
i will say this, i do trust spielbergs judgment and if he thinks it is good enough for the role, then he probably is.

I guess I should ask, is he good enough to play Indy's son? I am assuming that's what he is being cast as.
C'mon, Sean Connery!!!!!
totally agree. he would be good to get back into the cast. although, perhaps he doesn't want lucas to suck his career out of him.

this news is incredibly lame - he's playing the comic foil/side-kick, in other words... lame.

He did alright in that role in Constantine.

I didn't know that the Indiana Jones series was a serious action movie franchise?
Seriously though, Shia is a big time star waiting to break. Kid can act. Seems to be very likable. Especially when you have a chance to see him in the Project Greenlight show (and not just the movie).
He's done very well in the movies he's been in and just recently hosted SNL.
My wife and I are big fans of this kid.
My company just got three of these vehicles to convert to run on LPG for the movie...

LaBeouf to star in new `Indiana Jones'
Fri Apr 13
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."
Kid was good in Transformers. I forgot Even Stevens. I like him in that
. Praise Allah that Baby Vader wasn't given the role.

after watching him in Transformers I'm not nearly as skeptical about him in Indy. He was pretty damn likable and really the only human being in a movie full of riidiculously awesome robots.
The title of 'Indiana Jones IV' is...
from Entertainment Weekly's PopWatch by Gregory Kirschling
Speaking of Indiana Jones IV (which will be awesome; see previous post on fourquels), you gotta wonder what they're gonna call it. And you gotta worry that George Lucas is gonna call it something crazy; be grateful that he can't call it Indiana Jones and the Phantom Menace and Indiana Jones and the Attack of the Clones. Aside from that — yeesh — anything goes.
To that end, Slashfilm.com has reportedly scored the latest Title Registration Report from the MPAA, listing six potential titles that Lucasfilm has filed to get approval on. Here they are. Is one of these the title of the new Indiana Jones movie?

Indiana Jones and the City of Gods
Indiana Jones and the Destroyer of Worlds
Indiana Jones and the Fourth Corner of the Earth
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Indiana Jones and the Lost City of Gold
Indiana Jones and the Quest for the Covenant
What do you think? Of these, I'd surmise that only the first two are contenders. Quest for the Covenant ties the movie too closely to both Superman IV: The Quest for Peace and the original Raiders of the Lost Ark. Lost City of Gold is a nonstarter because Allan Quatermain, in one of the worst sequels of all time, got there first. (Indiana Jones and the Legend of Curly's Gold would be a better title.) Really, smart money says it's City of Gods. (Hmm, now, which sacred relic does that title suggest Indy will be seeking this time?) What title would you use? And please don't make Harrison-Ford-is-old jokes; those are lame.Indiana Jones and the Destroyer of Worlds
Indiana Jones and the Fourth Corner of the Earth
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Indiana Jones and the Lost City of Gold
Indiana Jones and the Quest for the Covenant
Did Harrison Ford have bit parts in those when he was about 40?
Funny stuff... thought we were to refrain from the old man jokes...

Too bad they couldn't come up with a longer title.

i don't know why, but my first thought reading that title mad me wonder if he's going to be teaming up with He-Man and Tela to fight the forces of Skeletor and the Arizona Cardinals defense.
