LaBeouf This Generation’s Indy Jones?

July 17, 2007 by Sam Sloan   || Category: Film News

shia-labeouf-actor-paramount-pictures.jpgRumors in the Hollywood tabloids and on the Net are rampant that “Transformers” star Shia LaBeouf has signed an exclusive contract with Paramount that allows the studio to option the rising young star for up to three, possibly four, sequels to the Indiana Jones legacy.

Even though Harrison Ford is said to be doing most of his own stunts in this latest movie, now at 65, it is pretty obvious that he won’t be around for any other Indy movies after this fourth one, unless it is a brief cameo and I know that Paramount isn’t yet ready to let the franchise languish after this next film. So, the glaring choice is Shia as the man to continue the Jones saga.

“Indiana Jones 4″ is expected in theaters May 22, 2008 and besides Ford and LaBeouf (as Indy’s son), the movie will co-star Cate Blanchett, Ray Winstone, John Hurt and Jim Broadbent, with Karen Allen making a cameo appearance.

    I think he’s a great choice to continue as the (younger?)man in the hat.

    He’s got the right mix of getting-by-on-wits and tough-when-required with a healthy dose of smartass thrown in.

    [...] LaBeouf has reportedly signed on to continue playing Indiana Jones in 3, maybe 4, more movies after Indiana Jones 4 is released next [...]
